Big Tradb-m AHowanc^ tAsr TBBMS! Kennedy Chorus | A 90 Minute Lai^hl ‘lnipre8.ed With Comii^ Friday The Kennedy Home high school chorus is to sing at the First Baptist church Friday eve ning, July IS, This group of sing ers has won for themselves a un ique place in the hearts of the people over North Carolina, Three years ago, they, sang in the Mos que Theatre, Richmond, Virginia, also before the Southern Baptist Convention. They have broadcast over many of the rrdio stations of the State. One of the leading announcers recently said: “They are the fir't group I’ve heard that can- sing anything and consistent ly stay on pitch. La.t year, the Chorus gave a special concert at "The Lost Col ony” pageant, at Manteo, August 4. and were the special music fea ture at Ridgecrest for the South- ide B. T. f. Assembly, with twenty states represented. The full chorus numbering si.\- fy voices, ranging in ages from twelve years through seventeen, has a somewhat unique appe."l in their splendid lenditions and marvelous repertoire. The chorus is capable of singing a four-hour program of music from memory. Many of the arrangements are made by Mrs. Verna Blow .Alder m;-n, accompanist. Only thirty- two members of the chorus will be taken on tour as transporta ion facilitie.5 are limited. Included in the list of mimhers sung by the Chorus are: “Sanc- tus.’’ and “Send Out Thy Light,’’ by Gounod, “The Heavens Re. sound ’’ and “Judge Me O God.'' l)v Beethoven. ^'The Lord’s Pray er.’’ Forsyth-Cratt. “O Lord Most Holy.’’ French, “Largo,” and ‘Hallelujah Chorus” by Haudel. ‘Recessional.” Kipling-DeKoven, ’The Oratorio Redeemer.” Dick inson. "The Crucifixion.’’ Stainer, many numbers by Shelley and -•everal Bach Chorals. In addition each member of the Chorus mem orized several solos, sacred and secular each year, and can sing an acceptable solo. Recently Mr. .Alderman presented, in recital, each member of the high school chorus in a solo program. The trio and sextette are ad- litional features, avrilablc on the orogram. The sextette has been heard in many churches over the State. Roy Smith, baritone so- ’oist. has a pleasing vo* e that shows real possibilities. Pat -Al- lerman. Director of the Chorus, rranges the program so that here will be variety, depth, dig nity. and vivaeiousnes.?. These 'oys and girls work on a large 'arm in Eastern Carolina, learn- ng the practical side of living, tnd coloring that, with the de velopment of the beriity of learn- ng to live a life, along with earning to make a living.

Gentlemen: I have just returned from a grand vacation through your Oarolinas and also through the Smokies and must say the hos pitality and courtesy all along the route was of the finest. W’hile in your city, we stopped at the gas station on the corner acro,'S from you, to the left and had otir thermos jug filled with water, entered their rest room and came back to our car minus the jug.

The council made plans for the aluminum canvass In the rural areas of the county and Is making an appeal for school committee men, teachers, ministers, Sunday school superintendents, members of 4-H clubs and all others In terested to meet at the school buildings 1 n their respective communities on Saturday aft ernoon of this week at five o’ clock, and make definite plans for collection of aluminum In their time during jed- ^on of the army, the propoHd amp is planned to accommodate between 18,000 and 22,000 men. , 'Hie site selected occupies the triantrle between Durham, Oxford nnd Hendeiton. t is bounded on one side by the Seaboard Railroad aiid on the other by the Norfedji and Western, U. S. Highway 16 traverses the area and along the south boundary is the Nwse River. The site thus has desirable trans portation and water facilities read ily available. • The proximity to the three sizeable towns also will provide troops with recreational facilities. No funds are now available for the acquisition of the sites or for the construction of the camps, it was stressed. This and the 13 oth er locations merely have been chos en so that the quartermaster corp§ and other interested army agen cies could perfect plans for the camps if it is later necessary to increase the strength of the army. Representative Durham, a mem ber of the House military affairs committee, stated that ‘‘in all probability” consideraUe expan sion would take place at an early date and that some or all of the sites chosen today would be utiliz- communltles some the coming week.
