Mrs. Helen SeIfzer
Poplar 2-4Iq7

Avenue, Broadwood Manor, gave
a superb performance in a musi-
cal program last Friday morning
at Richard Montgomery High
school. The program included
the following outstanding Rock
vile musicians: Mrs. ]. Marshall
Mays and Mrs. C. D. Gull, as a
two-piano team, played their Sc
lections beautifully; and Mrs. G.
B. GelVin, celloist, accompanied
by Mrs. Kai DeVermond, charm
ed everyone.
The theme of Mr.. Byrd's pro-
gram was the history of the clas
sical guitar. He narrated the
story of the instrument, illustrat-
ing it by playing selections chos-
en- from the various historical
periods about which he spoke
The audience learned that the
guitar was brought into Europe
by the Arabs when they invaded
that continent in the 10th cent
ury. ct was then known as the
lute).
Mr.. Byrd's musical background
is fascinating. He was chosen to
represent this country at the Ac-
cademia Musicale Chigiana in
Sienna, Italy, last summer, where
he studied under Maestro Andre
Segovia, world-renowned guitar
ist. There are only Is students
chosen each year from among the
outstanding musicians all over
the world to study at the school,
under the foremost teachers of all
instruments. Mr.. Byrd was the
only musician so honored in the
United States. We salute our ac-
complished neighbor!
Gayle Rudd's fifth birthday,
Jan. 81, was celebrated by a love
ly party given in the Rudd's rec
reation room. The Mickey Mouse
theme was carried out in the dec
orations, and those lucky children
who attended were: John and
Robin Bayles, Johnnie Freeze,
Raymoul Keto, and of course,
Gordon, Jr., Gary, and Gloria
Jean Rudd.
The Broadwood Manor Home
makers Club met at the home of
Mrs. Walter P. Luthy on Jan. %.
The hostesses for the evening, the
Mesdames Jay H. Bolton, William
II. Phillips, Jr., and James E.
Stillwell, served edible valentines,
nuts, mints, and coffee.
A highlight of the evening was
the report on the first meeting
of the Fair Committee, given by
Mrs. Ray Keto. The members are
putting on their thinking caps.
They have a reputation to live up
to and strive to better, since our
BroadWood Club received second
prize for their booth last year.
The most important news of
the evening was the announce
ment of a series of bake. sales,
for the benefit of our Recreation
Area, which are being scheduled
at Food Town. The first of these
is to be held May 7, and your re-
porter will inform you of the
others in good time for you to
participate.
All residents of Broadwood
Manor, whether the family is rep
resented at Homemakers or not,
are requested to contribute baked
goods to these sales, since we will
all benefit from the recreation
area. The HomemakerS will man
the booth at all sales.
Last year the pre-school aged
children benefited. This year the
age group GIG must be taken
care of-and we are the ones who
must do it.
Put down the May 7 date, and
let's all get behind the Homemade
ers in this effort to help us all by
sponsoring "our" Recreation
Area. Mrs. Meredith Davidson,
Chairman, is the one to call, at
1886, for further information.

the period to 100 1892 bid.
Inventories of both corporate
and municipal new issues have
been backing up rather seriously
as the year draws to a close. The
market for new financing has
become sticky because of the
Governments strict credit curbs.
