Peeler, a former Sally League star with Jacksonville, wjll play first base when not pitching due to his fine hitting power. Kirby said the Hornets expect to add another seasoned hurler be fore they begin working out the Notice!

KIRK WILLIAM -.ELEANOR DmaAsta-flm >« William WyLtB’s ftOOtfCTlOR 01 SIDNEY KINGSLEY'S AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CHRONICLE Your newspaper carries today a^ story of which many qf us are ashamed. The editor of our paper can hardly be proud to print it, ! though the facts constitute news of , the community which must be re-1 lated as such. Perhaps there will be many 1 whose eyes will scan the headline j of this story and go no further. The j subject quite obviously does not; ; interest some v Clinton citizens. The ; highlight of the story is that 183; ' pints of blood were donated on, February 4 by a handful of red- j blooded ’ Americans in Clinton.; There were others w r ho tried to pass the physical requirements in order to donate their blood but; were rejected for various reasons— and there were othei^ who agreed to donate a pint of pl®od during a city-wide canvass madeM^ently by the Kiwanis club, and they failed to appear on Feb. 4 at the armory to follow through with their agree- . ment. Also, there were men and women who gave voluntarily and freely of their time, in an effort to success. *| Those who donated their blood or helped in any way, however, are not the smug Clintonians. They ask ; no "Thanks and feel that they de-! serve none — to donate a pint of blood is the very least anyone of us can do to help in preserving our j freedom — or had it ever occurred, to you who were not concerned with the bloodmobile that you have freedom? American, if you feel that you deserve to be called that, Clinton is a very small spot on this earth, and that pint of blood which you didn’t give is just a drop in a huge frnrkPiT of much-needed life blood fqt'; thoiie men who are losing theirs ^aUy for you. ,Shrug your shoulders, if you will, laugh, but one day someone in !^6scow* ^may laugh, and may be la\aghi$g # even now,'at the passing parade of complacent, well-fed, self-satisfied Americans. Are you one of them? This freedom we all enjoy is all we know, but it isn’t guaranteed. In fact, it is being dangerously plot-! ted against and is being fought against at this very moment. What are you doing to defend it? Maybe we could bring another bloodmobile to Clinton if enough of us wanted it and wanted to do our bit. Do you? If so, mail your note , to The Chronicle. Remember this: Men have died to give you the freedom of saying yes or no. Sincerely, Carolyn Henry Crowson. Clinton. ♦ Loewenguth Quartet, Pianist To.Appear Here Monday In Concert Series The last attraction of the- 1951- 52 Community Concert Series will feature the renowned Loewenguth Quartet of Paris. Concert goers here will have the privilege of hearing this great new attraction i when the Loewenguth String En semble with Marisa Regules ap- i pears at the Clinton high school on Monday night, February 11, at 8:15 P. M. The Loewenguth Quartet, widely known as one of the world’s great I interpreters of chamber music, and Argentine pianist Marisa Regules, star of the screen and of the con cert stages of Europe, North and South America, join their outstand-, ing talents to bring a varied and richly rewarding program of piano ^solps, string-piano duos, complete string quartets and piano quintets chosen from the best-loved- master- works of musical literature. The outbreak- of World War II scattered the members of the Quar tet to all parts of the globe, but during the German occupation, the original members, with the excep tion of the violinist, reassembled in Paris and began their prepara tion of the Beethoven quartets. The Loewenguth Quartet con sists of Alfred Loewenguth, first violin; Maurice Ftieri, second vio lin; Roger Roche, viola; and Pierre | Basseux, cello. They are all French- born and their average age is only 38. All four instruments played by the Loewenguths were made*' by the famous seventeenth-century master, Nicolo Amati of Cremona. This is the only complete quartet of Amati instruments in existence. Lovely Marisa Regules is a na- ; live of the Argentine but as a mu- ' sician has achieved a reputation of [international standing. A prodigy who astounded Buenos Aires with her first recital at the age of five, she was withheld from further public appearance until she had studied extensively and had at tained a high degree of musical maturity.
