KIRB Y LOOKS FOR STRONG
BASEBALL CLUB AT JOANNA
Joanna's Hornets, idle in textile
baseball last year, are returning to
action this season as one of the
four teams comprising the Central
Carolina league.
• Dan Kirby, Joanna’s veteran
backstop and former manager, is
back as the team’s manager this
year and curing the week made
known his probable roster.
.Kirby, an experienced hand with
the mask and mitt, will likely do
most of his piloting from the bench,
^hnd will rely on the capable re
dwing of Wheez Farmer, another
hurler, *md Roy Peeler, veteran
southpaw and formerly of Watts
and Ware Shoals, give the Hornets
another pair of capable pitchers.
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

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.
