Bus Station Located In Hotel Bldg, Move Approved By Council And Chamber Group The Newberry bus terminal is now located in the Wiseman Ho tel Building, with entrance next door to Western Union, and pass engers for all points may purchase tickets and board buses at this location, according to J. E. Wise man, in an announcement made Wednesday. Mr. Wiseman had been request ed by Atlantic Greyhound Corpora tion, Carolina Scenic Stages and Eagle Bus line to operate the terminal after the local bus sta tion was closed. Mr. Wiseman stated that the matter was taken before City Council and the Cham ber of Commerce and that both bodies unanimously approved the new location of the station. In a letter sent to Mr. Wise man on behalf of the three com panies, C. W. Spratlin, supervisor of Atlantic Greyhound Corpora tion, stated “We understand that the biggest objection to you hand ling the agency Is the parking pro blem, and I personally believe that if the space in front of the hotel is marked off for the purpose of parking two or maybe three buses that at no time there will be more than this number of buses in front of your hotel. We can arrange to have all buses operating through Newberry to park on the hotel side picking up and dis charging passengers with the door of the coach opening onto the sidewalk.’’ Mr. Spratlin further stated: “We would certainly like to pre vail upon you to operate this sta tion until more suitable arrange ments for a more adequate station as the times require.” PMA Committee nbers Named James W.

Mercury Vapor Type Adopted City council met in special ses sion Wednesday night to hear pro posals for a new white way sys tem for Newberry’s business dist rict. Plans were heard from repre sentatives of four lighting com panies at a lengthy meeting which began at 7:30 p.m. and ended near midnight. A proposal by the Gen eral Electric company was approv ed by council, with certain changes to be made. All plans submitted were for installation of the mercury vapor type of lighting on Main street and certain sections of streets off Main, with the incandescent type to be used in the remainder of the business section. M. G. Hughes, Charlotte, N. C., a representative of the Line Ma terial company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, submitted a plan call ing for 34 mercury vapor type lights, along with incandescent lights for streets off Main at a cost of $10, 846.36. The proposal presented council by J. S. Hunter of General Electric company through a Greenville firm, was chosen by the city. This system calls of 34 20,000 lumin- mercury vapor lights to be install ed on Main street and on streets one block off Main. The luminairs will be mounted on one-piece steel posts. Other streets in the buctik ness section will be lighted with incandescent type fixtures. The bid from GE was $10,538.67. Al though this proposal was adopted by council, several changes will be made in the layout submitted, and the cost of the project when completed will probably run sev eral thousand dollars higher t&HX the system adopted. Work on the whiteway will probably start within three months. Others heard by the city fathers were E. W. Michael, representing Westinghouse, of Charlotte, and H. S. St. John, representative of Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply company of Birmingham, Ala. S. C. Violinist To Play For First Concert The beautiful and distinguished young American violinist, Carroll Glenn, will be the first artist to be heard on the 1952-63 Commun ity Concert series, playing on Wednesday evening, Nov. 5th, in the Newberry High School Audi torium. Memberships may be bought up to this concert, but none after it. Returning from her fourth tri umphant European tour in four consecutive years, she is current ly making her longest American tour, both as recitalist, and as soloist with the principal symphon ies. It is a tour that will begin October 29th in Cheyenne, Wyom- iag, and will not conclude until April 16th when she will be so loist with the new Symphony Orchestra In Birmingham, Ala bama. Between that time Miss Glenn will have twice traveled the United States. Carroll is an unusual feminine first name, and Carroll Glenn is a very unusual young artist indeed. South Carolina-born, she owes the name to the foremost Marylander of his time, Charles Carroll of Carol ton, signer of the Declara tion of Independence, the richest man in America, and one of the few of his class and kind who backed the War of the Revolution. The violinist is, of course, a direct descendant. She began her violin studies at the age of four, with her mother, Mrs. Ola Allison Glenn of Chester, S. C. as her first instructor, and at 11 became the youngest student ever accepted by the far-famed Juilliard School of Music in New York. She is the only winner of all four major music awards offered in open competition in the United States—by the Naumburg Founda tion, the Town Hall Endowment, the National Federation of Music Clubs and the Schubert Memorial. In her first season as a concert artist she substituted for Fritz Kreisler; in one season alone, she played five solo appearances with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Now entering her eighth season under the direction of Columbia Artists Management, Miss Glenn has be hind her an enviable record of six ever - widening national concert tours, and more than 160 ap pearances with major American and European Symphony Orches tras. It was at Juilliard the young .y-X;- ■f • ■X'.vvWv,,- -.v. CARROLL GLENN southern beauty met a young piano student from California who later, as Pto. Eugene List, USA, was to become her husband—not long before the accident of his presence in a Special Services en tertainment unit at Potsdam brought Generalissimo Stalin to his feet with a toast in vodka, and gracious request from the un* musical Winston Churchill to play “The Missouri Waltz” for Presi dent Truman. The marriage has been a brilliant success, personal ly and artistically. The summer of 1951, for example, marked the fifth consecutive season that they each played a concerto with the New York philharmonic-Symphony on the same Lewisohn Stadium Concerts program. In recital, the demand for this attractive young couple as a concert duo has been little short of terrific. “BUZZ” PURCELL RECEIVES PROMOTION “Buzz” Purcell, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Purcell has been pro moted from the rank of second lieutent to first, at Moffett Field, California, where he is stationed at the present receiving special jet carrier pilot training. MR.
