Speaking*" Of Golf B y JOE MAPLES The Boone Golf Course, hir ing passed it* fourtB ftn tut month, had the heaviest play for one day since opening this past Sunday, Judging from tfce number of plsyirs that rag- j Utered, and estimating the Dumber that pfiyed more than eighteen holes, around three hundred rounds were played. That's a lot of golf in one day! Plans are now in the final stages for the new golf course at- Lenoir that Estel Wagner's group is going to build, lty father, Ellis Maples of Pine hurst is doing the job and I got a look at the plans Satur day night. From what I saw, its going to be a very fine championship course of about 7,00b yards. Some very beauti ful real estate will be develop ed around the course, most of which will overlook it. Work will probably get underway within the next few weeks with plans to open sometime he*t year. LoCal players continue to turn in fine scores as the sea son progresses and games im prove. Charlie Elledge who plays the part of Preacher Sims in the "Horn" had one of his better toys FrMiy shooting ? flt? WW | Mff TO. Toufif Steve Masten got hot Wednesday and shot 79 and Paul WlnUer got his woods to working his way for a 41 on the front nine. An other eagle two was reported on the seventh hole but the players mime escapes me at tin moment. Bill Greene of the Oakwoods Club in Wilkes boro shot his second sub par round in ? row, a 69 on Friday after turning in a 97 the Week be fore. Bill Has evidently been wearing out his practice balls. His new nine at Wilkestero is coming along nicely. Some seeding has been done and most of it will be completed in the very near futnre. Clyde Cotfcran, Clint Bentley, Francis Garvin and Hal Church and their wives played the to tal course over the week end, their first visit in quite awhile. It was good to have them with as again. Other Wilkesboro players who have been up In clude Shoun Kerbough, Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Hodges and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Strader. They are all looking forward to having their new nine open at Oak woods sometime next year. Bowling Highlights Monday Night League Scoring ? High Four Game I Set ?

The new faculty member is a graduate of Florida State Un iversity with the B.S. and M.S. degrees. He is now working to ward the doctorate at the same institution.

Dr. Williams, who is tabbed ts America's moat authentic ballad singer, says mountaineers have preserved well folk songs, but do not necessarily hove an option on them. A native of the mountain section of Kentucky, the college professor has spent much of his colorful life collecting and sing ing ballads from Florida to New York. He has taught bal lads and songs for 11 years at Appalachian College. Bug On AH Levels "I've discovered during per sonal appearances that people think ballads are sung only by mountaineers," he declares "But It's not true. They're sang on all levels of society and in every section of the country." "la fact," he says, "I fonnd one of my favorites near the North Carolina coast. It was It Rained a Mist,' given to me ly Vivian Cherry, a teacher from Clinton." Bat It is true that most, other than the mountaineer, who sing ballads dont know what they're singing, says Williams. Chances are the lyrics and tunes were picked up during childhood from their parents who in re turn got them from their fore fathers. Balladler Williams, who sports a neat moustache and goatee, describes a ballad as a song that tells a story. It originates from the common people rather than from a professional song writer or the parlors of the aristocratic or educated. The process of ballad-making is centuries old. It takes place in any nation where a state of imaginative illiteracy / J Negroes gave America many good ones such aa "I've Been ?2rtsr- usai - ? an tMcr. tfcey lhred ?T year* in Ml I* America fcy Williami says today there are | V3 known In America and IB 1b Canada.

He'* collected and sung folk songs ever since he discovered ballads in his Louisia, Ky? High Sehool litera ture book differed from what his people sang. He then decided to slug the j ballad as it's actually song by natives. There'd be no Holly wood glamour or theatrical popularising in his renditions.
