Season's Best Concert. Presented Last Night

0 By Marlene Morin By far the best concert of the 1958-59 series of the Adams county civic music association was presented by a group of polished musicians at ~the Decatur Youth and Community Center Monday night. A large crowd attended to' hear and applaud the fine program offered by the National Artists Symphonette. directed by William Haaker, and featuring as piano soloist Amparo Iturbi. sister of Jose Iturbi. The well-balanced program opened with a presentation of four movements from the well-known "Water Music” by Handel. The technical polish of each of the 13 members of the ensemble was immediately evident in the open-ing-number. Their musicianship was firmly announced in this pleasant Handel music. A powerful and exciting presentation of the Grieg ‘ Concerto in A Minor” was. given by Miss Iturbi as the next selection of thej evening. Miss Iturbi has a command of the keyboard to rival that of her more famous brother and her interpretation of the concerto was vigorous and thrilling throughout. - Following the intermission came the “Seigfried Idyll” by Richard Wagner, a tender composition written by Wagner for his wife and infant son. Musically speaking, this was probably the finest ■ played number on the program, i The balance and artistry "of the| ensemble was never more evident during the program than during the gentle strains of this most pleasant and entrancing composition. Haaker showed himself sentitive to his audience when he introduced the next number, a Woodwing Quintent by Jacques Ibert, by presenting solo passages. on each instrument so that younger membersof the audience might become familiar with the sound quality of the wind group. The Ibert quintet was well-played and a happy addition to the concert program. Younger members of the audience were, also treated to very fine presentations of the "March of the Little Lead Soldiers” by Gabriel Pierne and "The Dance of the Clowns,” from the Snow Maiden suite by Rimsky-Korsa-1 kov. Both selections were a list-' ening delight for all members of, the audience. Tremendoum response came ; from the audience at the conclu- ‘l sion of the final number on the' —— — < TOMORROW is TOT’S DAY AT Edward’s Studio

' program, "Rhapsody in Blue” by ’ George Gershwin. Miss Iturbi’s ’ presentation of this famous Am--1 erican composition was brilliant 1 and sensitive to the jazz idiom ’ which is the feature of rhapsody. A well-pleased audience called Miss Iturbi back for an encore. ■ In playing the second part of ’ “Fantasie” by Liszt, MisS Iturbi 1 displayed a clarity and feeling » that was lost in the power and f brilliance of her other solo presentations. In all of Miss Iturbi's works, the orchestral ensemble was able 1 to provide fine accompaniment. The group was well-integrated and ' i it is certain to win high acclaim during this tour, which is its first coast-to-coast trip. William Haaker , an -outstanding conductor, is to be complimented for his success in producing such a fine ensemble of musicians. A happy announcement to the members of the association was I the news that Stan Freeman, noj ted satirist and pianist whose program was cancelled a few weeks ago, will be able to appear in Decatur Sunday, May 3, at 2 p. m.! The next program on the series will be presented by Ferrante and ! Teicher, a piano duo, who are | playing a return engagement in Decatur Thursday. March 19, at the Community Center. Associai tion members will remember that they were featured during the ! initial year of the local series Cemetery Association Will Meet March 2 The annual meeting of the Pleasant Dale cemetery association will be held Monday, March 2, at 7:30 p.m.' in the Pleasant Dale church building. Members are urged to attend as special plans will be made for the coming ’year’s operation of the association. Heart Attack Fatal To Orchestra Leader* EVANSTON, 111.

Open Hearings On Financing y ; By Auto Firms WASHINGTON (UPD — Son 1 Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.i said today banks and independent monf ey-lenders would lose nqore than i 60 per cent of the nation’s new ? car financing business unless auto I manufacturers are barred from - the credit field. Kefauver, chairman of the Sen- , ate anti-trust and monopoly subj committee, made the statement in . opening hearings on bills to pro--1 hibit auto makers from financing ( sales of new cars. Initial testimonay was scheduled from witnesses representing the , Federal Trade Commission and [ financing groups from various . sections of the country. Cites GMAC Financing , Kefauver said that in 1954 the ! General Motors Acceptance Corporation i GMAC ( financed about 68 per cent of the time-payment sales of General Motors dealers. “If Ford and Chrvsler re-enter the finance business and are as successful as General Motors,” he ' said, “independent finance companies and the banks would be excluded from more than 60 per cent of the total. . .financing on new cars.” Kefauver’s bill, co-sponsored by Sen. Thomas C. Hennings (D-Mo.) would bar auto manufacturers from financing the retail purchase price of passenger cars for any purpose other than resale. The ban also would extend to insurance policies and would become effective Next Jan. 1. Sponsors Another Bill Another bill, sponsored by Sen. Joseph C. O’Mahoney <D-Wyo.l would go beyond Kefauver’s by applying to cars, trucks, buses, station wagons and tractors, at i wholesale or retail prices. At the I wholesale level, however, manuI facturers could extend ’’a reasonable time for payment. . .without additional charge.“ There would be no insurance provision. Kefauver said that the great majority of the 7,375 finance companies and banks financing new car sales are relatively small businesses. He said his bill and O'Mahoney’s “would open to these concerns a large segment of the automobile finance market which is now closed by GMAC.

To the right, all the area where the Youth and Community Center now is, and highway 224, are under water. Later these areas were filled tn. The picture shows that during the great flood, water was up to the top of the curved line about two feet over the arch of the bridge. This year the water barely reached the arch, about two feet lower. In the background on the left are the old buildings which stood on the corner for years until torn down to build the A & P and city parking lots.

The 1913 flood occurred during warm spring weather, and ice flows did not dam the river, nor did ice block drainage in fields and roadways as it did this year. Many ditches and roads were flooded worse this year than in 1913 because of this. This photograph was loaned to the Decatur Daily Democrat by David Pollack.

LiflFxile Order On Cypriot Leader LONDON (UPD — The British government today lifted its exile order on Archbishop Makarios and announced the Greek Cypriot leader was free to return to Cyprus. He is expected to become the first president of independent Cyprus. Makarios was banished from Cyprus in 1956 and deported to the Seychelles Islands. He later was allowed to go to Athens. - A spokesman for the colonial office said Sir Hugh Foot, governor of Cyprus, announced the revocation of Makarios' deportation order today in Nicosia. A spokesman for the archbishop said “The archbishop is very pleased that he is now able to go back but he has not yet made any plans for his date of return. He will not be going to Cyprus before Saturday.” The archbishop told United Press International Monday night that he would accept the presidency of Cyprus if it were of- 1 sered to him, although he had no ambitions to be president. He is expected to fly to Nicosia Sunday. Makarios is expected to nego- - -tiatr with FooT'Tor the release ol all EOKA pirsoners still in jail in Britain and Cyprus. STATE Continued from page one bills, regardless of length be read in total, before final passage, until the Senate Apportionment Committee ceases to bottle up 5829, Which would pave the way for constitutional reapportionment. Ibe Senate GOP chieftains announced they would split the reading of the measures among various senators who would stage another Tower of Babel by reading simultaneously. Reapportionment seems to be dead in this session but Grills has dramatized its demise more effectively than any other lawmaker in past, years. Late Monday, the Senate passed and sent to the House the Rogers joint resolution calling for a state uniform commercial code commission of seven members, the vote being 33 to 11. The Senate also jessed to third; reading 58349 to extend tavern hours by one hour on the night end of their business day, which at present closes at midnight c.s.t. - The House, 72-13, passed H 8566. the last measure received by the lower chamber. It calls for a twoyear study by the lawmakers of the operations and practices of not-for-profit corporations.,
