"Abide With Me" on the carillon on a Sunday afternoon - it has to evoke a memory if you grew up in Mariemont or have lived here for any length of t im e That "Abide With Me" should be played at th e concerts was one of the reques ts of iss Isabella Hopkins wh en ,he gav e the bells with their tower and endowment fund t o the village and dedicated the m "to the glory of God an d the perpet ual service of th e c itiz e ns and people of Mari e mont" in memory of her sist er , Mrs. Mary M Emery. t>,
T he words in quo tes are from th e program for the day of the dc d ic:i ti on , November 16 , 1929. The enti re program and other interesting items will be included in a booklet on the carillon which will be mailed to all Mariemont residences this spri ng. This year, the bo ok let will be somethin to treasure. It
will also include a pen and ink drawing of the bell tower by Caroline Williams , pictures of th e tower in the process of being built, and a list of the selectio ns to be played at each concert. The selections will be sp e cial and in fact everything abo ut the carillon will be special this year, in commemoration of the golden anniversary of the "Bells of Mariemont."
There will also be a fascinating di sp lay at the library from May 16 t o June 24.
Some concerts will be hi ghli gh t To sta rt the seaso n , on S u nda ' , May 27, there will be
an outdoor ballet com bined
composition, ''Mariemont Nocturne" by Johan Franco of Virginia In case of rain, the performance w ill be given the next day , Memorial Day .
Another highlight will be the visit and guest recital of Jacques Lannoy on July l. M. La nno y is carilloneur in Douai, France , and he ha s pronounced our bells to be "light" and easy to play, and similar to Europ ean bell s. On August 5, Mr. Gegner will give a concert fo r childre n . (He h as sa id that the ages from four t o ten will be th e a ges he h as in mind )
On the day of the dedication wi th the car illon, perh a ps the ceremony in 1929, the guest fir st time this has e ver been performer wa s Percival Price, tried. The pupils of Anne liese then carilloneur of the Canadian Von Oe ttingen will perform, Hou ses of Parliament.

A fe w years ago he gave a crash t one-week course to Mr. Gegner, who had agreed to take over when Gene Crawford, mini ste r of Mariemont Community Church, was transferred. l\fr. Crawford had been playing the car ill on after the death of Boyd Jord an, Mariemon t's first mayor and also M C. C choi, director and carilloneu r. Mr. Gegn er and Mr. Meyer h;ive attended international conferences and were host s in 1974 to a conference of the Guild of Carillone urs of North A:nerica. That year we had a number of guest recitalists but it is doubtful that Mariemonters con sidered them mo re enjoyable than our own regula rs. Mr . Gegner t eaches mu sic at Bethel-Tate school and is the present M. C. C. organist and choi r director. Mr Meye r is an engineer for Baldwin c ompany and is orgaini s t for the Blue Ash Presb yterian Ch u rch.

playing does not al ways mean there is a carilloneur in attendance. Mr. Meyer and Mr. Gegner can program vesper hymns on an electronic "roll" similar to a player piano roll and ca n set it to play at certain times. Actual pla ying is done on a keyboard a little like an organ except that the keys are struck with the fist. Heavier bells are also sounded with the feet.

The Ga rden Club of Mar iemont has been an importan t part of t h e village sin e '. t was organized in 1940 by a small group of women who were interested in good gardening, in principles of landsc a ping , and in the beautification of Mariemont. Through the years the members have been called on to use their influence in such problems as widening of U.S. 50 and removal of the Beech Grove to install a parking lot. The daffodil s in the beech woods were planted every fall for ten years by members of the club. The organization has contributed funds and encouraged the beautification of the square, the gardens at the concourse, the upkeep of the park at the Family Statue , and encouraged the good grooming of Mariemont.

Gary's Hair Fashions
A familiar sight at 6006 We ; ter Pike is Gary 's Hair Fashion s. For the past 12 y ears , owner a nd stylist Gary Clark ha s managed hi s shop at this location in Fairfax Hair care is provided here for the whole famil y-wo men , men , and children His customers are certainly lo y al--Ga ry has st y led the hair of four gene ration s of one famil y.
Gary ha s been in the hair sty ling bu siness for over 20 years. He had friends who were stylists, but he had no personal experience when he decided to enter his field. His former occupation of drill in s tructor in the Service did little to prepare him for his civilian occupation Gary enjoys a challenge, however , and he learned quickly. Gary sees the role of t he styli st as more importan t an d creative than ever before. No longer do women want to point to a magazine picture and say , " Copy tha t sty le." Fashion has changed in the direction of co nvenien ce and practicality. People want a style that fits their hair type and compliments their feature s. It is a satis fying challenge fo r the sty li st to work with them an d crea te an individual style. Th ere is much more permanent waving and precision cutting required to achieve these natural st yles which can be cared for at home between salon visits Gre a t changes have occurred for men also. Men are not satisfied with just a haircut --they now want shapin g and styling to look their best.
As in other field s, hair stylists are constantly receiving a flood of information about new product s and preparations. Gary belongs t o the National .Hairdre ssers Association to

Among the training activities are phonics for reading readiness, number concepts, graduated colo rs, and listening to stories. Social maturity rises from daily living activitiesprocess of work, care of self, decision making.
Financially the school is self-sustaining. All the materials in the two rooms are the property of the church.
Though the rooms are maintained, sparingly , the staff needs help in painting walls, maintenance of rugs , and in improving bathroom facilities. The tile of the basement floor is peeling; the rugs mildew each summer. Sto r m windows have been installe d to he lp re d uce expenses Com p le t e carpeting wo uld help keep the little peop le healthier.
As th e school begins its second decade , they look forward to serving t he c om m un ity wit h the su ppo r t of t h e chu r ch .

At a recent meeting of t h e Board, the assistant Mult iServices Coordinator of the -Council on Aging in Cincinnati, Ms Pat Scheidler, talked abou t needs and goal s of Centers all over the country and ways to achieve them. She was vocally very impressed with the progr ess made in MariElders. Linda Sensel, Director, has applied to the Council on Aging for Title .ItI funds to furnish and equi p the new room . Because MariElders is growing steadily in its services an d outreach, a survey is being prepared to instigate a blockby -block contact with every house in the village to make sure all our older adults are informed about the on-going programs and invited to become a part of this new , vital activity in our midst.
