A reception honoring the guest performer will be held following the concert in the Court room of the Old Court House Inn. Sandor, who has received wide acclaim both bv critics and audiences alike in this country and abroad, greatly enjoys individual recitals such as his upcoming performance at the Opera House. "It allows me to make my own musical selections, to present a nice variety of songs without having to adhere to a strictly struc tured program." Some of the musical selec tions he has chosen for the program include arias from Verdi's "Rigoletto", Bizet's ••Carmen" and \ "Don Giovanni" by Mozart, as well as popular songs such as the theme from "The Godfather", "Abraham, Martin and John", "Send in the Clowns", and a variety of hits written by John Denver. He was born and raised in West Virginia, where an early attraction to music had him singing in church and school choirs and playing the piano. He attended West Virginia university on musical scholarships, later graduating from Oberlin conservatory and receiving his Master's degree, Cum Laude, from the Juilliard School of Music. He made his New York City opera debut in 1975, singing later that year with Beverly Sills in "I Puritani." His credits also include performances with Anna Moffo at London's Royal Festival Hall and with Joan Sutherland, singing opposite her in "Lucia di Lam- mermoor" and Maria Stuar- da".

She says the twenty-ninth edition of the "Ball Blue Book of Home Canning" is up-to-date on these directions, and she is anxious to see that the information reaches the public at large. She also wishes to remind all home canners that meat products, because they are low-acid foods, must be processed in a steam pressure canner.
