They create a world in rtiich only accomplishments ire important. They imagine hemselves as nearly infallible md cannot tolerate criticism.** In such a situation the son «s three emotional choices, rle can become dogmatic like tis father, he can become pas sive and submissive like his mother or he can remain emo tionally like a rebellious child ind become a social misfit. What this boy needed was a family environment of warmth ind adult intimacy. He needed parents, expecially a father, who would discuss with him the many conflicting values being tai«ht to him. He should have felt free to disagree with his parents in social, political and moral causes without having them withdraw acceptance and love. “Young people must critic ally examine the values of their parents before they can know what they believe and what they want out of life,’* Hawkins notes. If parents do not afford this opportunity for critical ex amination of their values through intimate and intense discussion, then young people are likely to become indifferent to the values of society and unwilling to commit themselves to deep human relationships. To fill file’s emptiness, these young people may turn to pseudo adult sexual encounters or to teenage marriages that are not deep human relationships. Others may become temporary social misfits. Such actions are searching experiments by young people who are deprived of strong and meaningful relation ships with parents, especially with fathers. What tethers naturally feel for sons is compassion, Hawk ins observes. This compassion Is related to the basic human de sire for self-preservation and is therefore solid and enduring. However, too often this nat ural compassion is submerged and hidden in adult work and the absent tether. "Therefore,** Hawkins believes, “a man must find better ways to share this thinking and feeling with his sons.*’ of audience participation. “We will ask the audience to hiss, boo and throw peanuts when the vil lain makes his entrances,*’ she said. “And, of course, the audi ence will want to cheer when the hero comes in.** The title role of Nell will be played by Jane Van Boskirk, who plays Mary in the outdoor drama. Paul Gauntt, one erf the Horn’s dancers, will don the perennial black cape and handle-bar mus tache to play the show’s vil lain, Hilton Hays. The melodrama’s hero, Jack Logan, is to be played by Joe Kennard. Other members of the cast are Phyllis MacBryde as Vera; Glenn Causey as her father, Rebecca Dill as Nell’s old grandmother, Montez King as the town gossip. Robert Har ris will be the show’s com median-custodian. Admission for the evenings performances is 75; cents for adults and 50 cents for chil dren.

This Chamber has been request ed to furnish up-to-date infor mation on the area by Aug. 1, • * • * We are receiving inquiries asking information on the 1969 Gathering of the Scottish Clans on Grandfather Mountain. Among the inquiries was one from a native Scot now living in Kansas who wishes to be with us at the 1969 Games. Horn in the West interest con tinues to increase. The volume of mail asking for information on the drama is considerably above the same period last year. We have received some very favorable comments on our Wa tauga County Hospital. While spending some time at one of our local motels, a member of a family from Atlanta, Ga., became ill and spent sometime in Watauga Hospital. He had high praise for the Hospital staff. He was particularly im pressed by the efficient and courteous service he received while a patient. Some of our civic interested summer residents have called at the Chamber of Commerce and asked why we do not have a civic program for the 4th of July with flag displays etc. and ending with evening fire works. Mrs. A. E. Wrasse of Holiday Hills, Boone, and Winter Haven, Fla., has expressed par ticular interest.

Light’s Hopes Are Up Appalachian's basketball program, sliced by the grad uation of three starting per formers, has in recentdays re ceived a pair of most welcomed shots in the arm which should provide the ingredients for another successful ASU cage season in 1968-69. Mountaineer Coach Bob Light announced that Bill Ott, a six foot guard from Indianapolis, Ind., has signed a grant-in aid to attend Appalachian. And Allan Price, big 6-7 center who led the Apps in scoring and rebounding last winter, has decided to return for his fin al year of eligibility to alter his earlier plans to graduate this summer. Ott, playing during the past season at Indian River Junior College in Ft. Pierce, Fla., led his team in assists and averaged 20 points per game. He won All-Conference, All Tournament and All-State hon ors. “Bill is very quick, with the ability to apply pressure on de fense,” Light stated. “He is a very fine ball handler, and can score well on either drive plays or on the jump shot. We are happy that he has chosen Appalachian, and feel that he will make a fine addition to our program.” • Price, of Charlotte, hit 50 per cent erf his field goal at tempts while averaging 15 points per contest in 1967-68. His re bound average was 10.1 per game. The other returning starter will be guard Preston Wil liams. Lost by graduation will be Danny Beauchamp, Gary Ch enevey and Bill Sposato. —^ Are You A REPUBLICAN? Whether You Are Or Not, You’ll Be Interested In What Goes On At The Miami Beach Convention ...
