■ Thursday, February 10,1955 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Page Three To Feoure Mias Dorian, Vocalist One of the moot musically-daring aggravations in tho history of tho band bus inass is tha Sautcr-Finagan Orchasira. which will appaar at tho Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium on February 1C, with Anita Darian as vocalist. Already known through its RCA Victor recordings, this big now band is headed by two of tho coun try's top arrangers, Ed Sauter and Bill Flnegan. For over a decade Sauter and Flnegan have shaped the music played by more than a dosen topflight orchestras. Sauter. re sponsible for most of Bonny Goodman's arrangements, also wrote for Artie Shew. Woody Harman. Red Norvo. and Ray McKinley. Flnegan wrote countless musical scores for Tommy Dorsey, and was the musical genius behind the Glenn Miller orchestra. Now. Ed Sauter and Bill Flnegan have a band of their own. The distinc tive music can best be summed up in' two words color and mood. You would not look for pre-conceived stylistic notions in the prod ucts of the combined Sauter-Finegan talents, and indeed, there are none. Rather there is an inventive broadening and freshen ing of the musical horizon—and with it goes s strong beat, and un derlying excitement and gayety. Hand-picked by Sauter and Finegan, the musicians of the new band form a unit admirably suited to play Sauler-Finegan ar rangements. The lineup—unique for a dance band!—includes 3 trumpets. 3 trombones. 5 saxes, who doubts on flute, piccolo, oboe. English horn, bass clarinet and recorders, piano, bass drums, gui tar. harp, and tuba, and in addition, a special percussion section consisting of xylophone, marimba, chimes, triangle, clesta. tym- pani, glockenspiel, tambourines and thunder drums. Tickets for the combined concert and dance are $2.50 and $2.00; they may be obtained at the auditorium box office, by phone n vation, or by mail order to Box 1410, Spartanburg. S. C. Auto Man Sees New Sales Peak Harlow Curtice, president of General Motors, predicted this week the nation’s economy would reach a new peak in 1955 and automobile production would soar to 7,600,000 units, an in-j crease of 650,000 over 1954. In an address to 550 business and industrial leaders at a lunch in New York preceding the open ing of the annual General Motors Motorama, Crutice painted an optimistic picture for 1955, with the automobile industry, “the greatest single contributor to the strength of the economy,” lead ing the way. He forecast a 3 per cent nse in the gross national product—the total value of all goods and ser vices in the country—to a record of 375 billion dollars. This figure he predicted, will hit about 500 billion in the early 1960,’s, at which time, he said, personal in come after taxes will be up about 40 per cent. “I believe a high level of em ployment will be maintained in 1955,” he said. ‘The work week should be somewhat longer than in 1954. Personal incomes will rise, and consumer disposable in comes will be at, record levels. With confidence prevailing, con sumer spending will be substan tially higher than last year. “Capital expenditures by busi- State Music Group To Hold Auditions Laurens, Feb. 5—Auditions for the Helen Bateman scholarship to Transylvania Music Camp near Brevard, N.

Poultry Raising Becoming Leading Industry In South Atlanta —The stately hen, once a paragon of motherhood, has j been reduced to a second-class citizen in America’s barnyards. This became increasingly ap parent at the Southeastern Poul try and Egg Aoosciation’s eighth annual convention in Atlanta, where room after room of the latest aids in poultry raising were on display at Municipal Auditor ium. The lineup of machinery and devices would have caused any self-respecting hen tp cringe with shame Incubators — bigger and ( better than ever—had taken over the hatching problem, and im proved brooders supplied warmth for the chicks where once the hen’s body heat sufficed. ' These items, although stream lined in many instances, were slightly old hat in the face of one of the poultry industry’s more recent innovations: antibiotics. The drugs, which proved such a boon to mankind, are now blended into feed with an eye toward breeding healthier, hence meatier birds. Clyde Hendrix, vice president of Pillsbury Mills, Inc., Clinton, Iowa, is convinced American housewives will be pleased with the grade of poultry they find on the market during the coming year, and also the price. “Re search,” he said, “is enabling poultry raisers to produce a big ger and better bird at a minimum cost. “This,” he added, “has placed the industry in direct competition with cattle and hog raisers and has tightened the race for the food dollar.” Hendrix maintained this year’s market “would be just as good as we make it,” adding that he had no patience with persons who worry about surpluses. "In my opinion,” Hendrix said, “we have no surpluses . . . mere ly ‘reserves.’ ” He claimed that if the drought whidh has ranged throughout tne southwest for the past two years had reached into the com belt, the nation would have been left more vulnerable than if “we had lost our navy.” The “excess-worriers,” he said, then would have had an entirely different — and more serious— problem to deal with, since there undoubtedly would have been a shortage of feed. , As evidence of the strength of the industry, Hendrix pointed to the state of Georgia where chick en raising, in a relatively few years, has grown from a petty cash operation to $150-inillion a year business, outstripping King Cotton.

Holliday have made application through* the District for 5,U00 kudzu seed lings for planting on their farms this spring. Laurens county farmers with kudzu have certainly made good use of it during the droughts of the past three years. There are now approximately 1,000 acres of kudzu on farms of district coope rators. On grazing test at the Sand Hill Experiment Station from May 16 to October 2, 1946, cows grazing kudzu produced 433 gai Ions of 4 per cent milk per acre. This is 68 gallons more per acre than that produced during the same period from bermuda grass, white and red clover. All cows get one pound concentrate for every three pounds of milk pro duced. • • » F. O. Wyley, with a large de- patment store in Greenville, has secured the services of the Dis trict’s tree planter in planting 25.000 pine seedlings on the com pany’s land seven miles west of Laurens. The trees are being planted this week. He has also asked for assist ance in making an engineering survey for a large pond to be constructed on the property.

Use Of Rose Debated For National Flower (By JAMES SIBBISON) Washington, Feb. 5—Is the rose un-American? Some people seem to think so. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine) and Rep. Frances P. Bolton (R-Ohio) have been get ting some letters suggesting this. The ladies last month asked Congress to pass a law making the rose the national flower. , But though the large bulk of the mailed reaction has been fa vorable, some dissenters say the rose is a poor' choice, because: (1) It is the British national flower, and (2) it comes from the Orient. To a man in Greenbush, Miss., the proposal by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bolton is “fraught with dan ger” “For heaven’s sake," he wrote, “let us choose an indigenous flower.” He suggested the goldenrod. In another letter, a woman in New Castle, Pa., insisted the golden rod is already the national flow er. “How about the geranium?” in quired a woman in San Francis co. "Or, perhaps the clematis? Both represent the American home, are familiar to all, and loved by rich and poor alike.” This same woman also object ed that the American Beauty rose already is the emblem of the Dis trict of Columbia. The wild rose, she said, is the state flower of New York, North Dakota and Iowa. One of the strongest complaints came from a Massachusetts wom an. She called the rose “the worst posible choice.” She wrote: “The rose is a ten der hybrid that must be constant ly pampered if it is to make sat isfactory growth. That charac teristic u not typical of our na tion. “I would suggest the laurel. It is native to every state in the Union. There is a star-shape *o the blossoms, and two of our na tional colors are found in its blos soms—red and white Even so, most of the votes from the country are favoring the rose One man in Mount Vernon, N Y., sent Sen. Smith an unpublish- ' ed song called “A Rose is a Song to Me.” A woman in Fordyee, Ark , sent in a verse to tha flow er. It’s too early to tell whether a , law will be poosed. There have been previous bill* on national flower*—two on the j American laurel, three on the 1 dogwood, and one on the rose All have, died ip committee. /or - ^ . colo owcoa LOW BACK PAIN For the past 7 or « yean a roans man 2$ yean of age wtf- fered a severe pain and catch in the lower back area. These attacks occurred approximately every three months. For the last two yean he had worn a brace with little or no effect. His work necessitated quite a bit of driving. Seven months ago he had to give this np as the pain became constant The paint ex tended down into both legs and at times he was nnabte to walk. After 15 weeks of Chiropractic care in this office this dition completely cleared up. He has now returned to his former job without the slightest discomfort in the lower back, and once again he sleeps the night through.
