NELL RANKJN
Rankin Concert Will
Open Arts Festival
Nell Rankin will appear at
ASTC on April 29 to begin the
annual Arts Festival with a
concert.
The name Nell Rankin is
synonomous with great singing.
The Metropolitan Opera's lead
ing Mezzo-Soprano, she lowers
over the world of vocal art to
day like a veteran, although
she is only 32. Miss Rankin
mad* her public debut at the
age of 4 starring on her own
radio program. She startled her
parents at the age of 9 by an
nouncing that she intended to
become vne of the greatest
singers of her time. This seem
ed a remarkable forecast, when
in 1950 her appearance on the
European scene created a sen
sation. She became the first
American in history to win the
coveted first prize in Geneva's
famous International Concours
de Musique. From that moment
the world-wide acclaim accord
ed Nell Rankin could find few
parallels in the annuals of
music. She stars in virtually all
the world's gteat opera- tKHjsag:
The Metropolitan, Milan's^rifU
ous La Seals, Vienna
Opera, London's Convent Gar
den, the San Francisco and
Chicago Operas, Mexico City
Opera, Havana Opera, and many
more. At the Metropolitan, Miss
Rankin has scored success after
stunning success as Carmen,
Ameris, Azucena, and Ortrud.
The press of Europe and the
Americas have acclaimed her
"the greatest Carmen of our
time." Miss Rankin appears
constantly with the world's
leading symphony orchestras.
The New York Times hailed her
most recent Town Hall Recital
as "flawless tonal beauty." Her
formidable vocal technique, ex
traordinary interpretative pow
ers, and exciting stage pre
sence, have made Nell Rankin
a favorite of the world's con
cert halls and opera houses, and
the leading meoo-soprana be
fore the public today.
In private life, Miss Rankin
is the wife of a prominent New
York heart specialist. Between
world-wide appearances, she di
vides her time between a luxuri
ous Park Avenue apartment and
her beautiful homes on Long
Island Sound and the Gulf of
Mexico. Her celebrated pet,
j&ing Tut, a domesticated
Magyaiy^i often seen with Hiss
Bhnkin on her travels.
United States continues with
plans for polaris sub bases In
the Mediterranean in April.

JUDO PAYS OFF
Des Moines, la. ? A Drake
University senior, Carol Stark,
20, after attending a concert,
found the did not have enough
money for a cab fare back to
the college and began walking.
Along came a carload of
boys, one jumped out and grab
bed her, saying, "You're going
for a ride, honey." Seconds lat
1 er the youth landed with a thud
on the pavement.
The others sped away when
asked who was next. Carol is
taking judo lessons.
Congress split on Kennedy
Righti request dims chance for
enactment.
Nobody wonted to serve us with electricity
when there appeared to be little chance of
profit. So we borrowed REA money and built
our own rurpl electric system* ? the same money
v
available to profit power companies to build
rural lines.
JBH
Because service is what we wanted, w? or
ganlied as nonprofit cooperatives. When we pay
our electric bill, we pay all expenses of the
operation ? plus enough to repay our debt to
V'
REA.
At the end of 1961, members of our 33
system* operating in North Carolina hod paid
neprly $40 million on principal and nearly $17
million In Interest on our debt to REA. And we
had nearly $30 million of pur own invested in
these systems.
This looks pretty good to some power com
panies . . . and they're tryinfl to take oyer our
best arftat. It doesn't seem fair for us to' build o
system, suffer through the roughest years, and
then have to give up the best parts because
somebody else now sees c chance to make a
profit on them.

Quality Program Paying Off
For Tar Heel Egg Producers
Egg production U well on its
way to becoming a $100 million
business in North Carolina, says
C. F. Parrish, in charge of ex
tension poultry work at North
Carolina State College.
Recent figures show that Tar
Heel producers sold 182 million
down eggs in 1962 with a value
of <72 million. Parrish expects
another increase in 1963. Many
new poultry houses are being
built. Some old ones that have
been empty are being filled
again.
"With our proximity to mar
kets, and strong possibility of
having additional markets in the
near future, there is no reason
why North Carolina should not
expand production of both com
mercial and hatching eggs,"
Parrish says.
The poultry specialist believes
one of the chief reasons why
the Tar Heel egg Industry is
vigorous and growing is because
producers "have been willing
to tax themselves for two very
worthwhile programs."
One is an inspection program;
the other a consumer education
and promotion program. _ Each
complements the other, Parrish
says.
The inspection program as
sures the housewife that she is
getting eggs of the quality and
grade indicated. "The aggress
iveness with which this program
has been pushed has created re
spect for the North Carolina De
partment of Agriculture's Egg
Grading and Inspection Service,"

Parrish says.
The egg promotion program,)
on the other hand, has helped
acquaint people both in and out
of state with the high quality '
of North Carolina eggs. "North
Carolina eggs no longer have to
be disguised on Northern mar
kets," Parrish says. "They are
readily received and command
respect."
Know The Weather
By ?. H. SIMS
Is it true that clouds rise
higher at the equator than at
the poles? If so, what is the
reason for the difference?
Ys, it is true that the layer
at gas surrounding the earth
(in which we find all our
weather) rises higher at the
equator than at the poles. In
fact, there is a very great diff
erence.
Thunderheads in summer at
the equator may reach up to
w?rd 90,000 feet, while clouds
?t the pole* seldom rise half
that high, in any season. This
is important weather knowl
edge for pilots, who can count
on flying over clouds in the
most northerly regions at all
times.
The spinning of the earth
(much faster at the middle)
tends to "throw' 'at the layer
of gas further outward at the
widest point, least at the poles,
where the turning circle is so
much smaller.

TOTAL PERFORMANCE:
YOU'LL KNOW WHY SHE >A""0'
D0ESH7 FEEL THE RUMPS...WHEN YOU TEST-DRIVE FORD'S HEW '10,000,000 RIDE
The 1963 Fold give* you a rid* every bit at unooth a* can cod
ing hundreds more, and for two reasons: a revolutionary new
suspension system . . . and added road-hugging weight.
It took ten million dollars to develop the new Ford ride. We
designed a revolutionary new suspension system for the '63
Ford. Where ordinary suspensions move only up an<| down to
absorb road shock, the Fdrd suspension moves backward as
well. In this double-action suspension system, coil springs up
front and leaf springs in the rear combine to give you firmness
in cornering and a special smoothness over the road.
We added weight, strength and stability. The new Ford is
now actually hundreds of pounds more car than any other car
in its class. This remarkable weight advantage is in the suspen
sion, frame, and body. And, as you know, this added weight
means a more stable ride.
But a solid, road-?m?o thing ride is only past of ford's total
performance story lor 1963. Look how Ford swept the field this
year in the grueling Daytona, Riverside and Atlanta SCO's and in j
the demanding Pure Oil Performance Trials. Only a car with
total performance ? the best combination of strength, balance, ?
precision control, braking power and road-dinging suspension
? could roll up so many wins.
Before you buy any new car, test-drive a Super Torque Ford '
If you haven't driven one lately, you can't really know what a
new ford is like. Make this important discovery? if ifi built
by ford, it's built for performance . . . total performance.
