Miami Out? Try H.P. Van Hoy’s Farm
So you can't get enough money together for the pop festival in
Miami or Fort Lauderdale, and it seems as if there's nowhere to go?
Don't resign yourself to spending a dull Easter Vacation because there
is somewhere. It is more unique than all the pop festivals rolled into
one; it's the "Fiddler's Convention" on H. P. Van Hoy's Farm at Union
Grove, just off Highway 901.
If you love the flavor of blue grass, it's the place to be. Fiddles,
banjoes, and guitars. Lots of happy sounds!
There will be at least 150 bands present to entertain over the
three-day competition. Camping and dining facilities will be available at
the festival grounds.
Admission charges are as follows: Thursday, $1,00; Friday, $2.00;
Saturday, $3.00. Camping is $3.00 per vehicle for the entire event
A special attraction for UNCC students will be the "Mole Hill
Highlanders." One of its members is Mr. Charles Dunlop, a philosophy
teacher at the University. This band specializes in Scottish and Iris
tunes, which are mostly ballads. The "Mole Hill Highlanders", whose
style has been influenced by the Grand Old Opry, has participated in
numerous fiddler's conventions throughout the southern area.
This will be the 46th Annual World's Competition held at Union
Grove. It will feature old time as well as blue grass music. It remains the
only convention of its type.
Cor’s ^War Children’ Depicts
Horror Of Man’s Inhumanity
"War's ChildrenJ' a movie put out by the
^mmittee of Responsibility, was shown here
*^st Friday picturing not only what has
^’^ppened to children in Vietnam but what
^OR is doing to help some of them. The
^mmittee of Responsibility for War-Burned
and War-Injured Vietnamese Children was
“•■ganized in 1967 by medical professionals and
other private citizens horrified by the casualty
toll among Vietnamese citizens. COR doctors
tfaveled Vietnam studying the hospitals,
Villages, orphanages, etc. The situation was
^sessed and the committee's plea sent to the
People.
At first, Saigon and U.S. officials were
''oluctant to allow admittance of severly
''Var-damaged children into American
communities. After several months the first
children were evacuated in October of 1967.
Since that time, over 63 children have
arrived; 25 returned and 38 still being treated.
Considering the cost of maintaining field
representatives and medical consultants in
Vietnam and New York, the cost -per child
figure is $10,000.
The Durman-Chapel Hill Chapter of COR
was formed in Nov., 1968, to raise funds for
two children to be treated at Duke hospital Ngo
Long, a 10 year old boy and Pham Thi Huong,
a 6-year-old girl; arrived July 1969 and have been
moved into temporary foster homes in Durban
and Chapel Hill until they may be returned to
their families in Vietnam. COR hopes to return
them physically rehabilitated and believing in
something other than man's inhumanity.
The national Committee plans to continue
this type of program indefinitely, but they are
also planning for the cease-fire day when
resources can be shifted to Vietnam and there
multiplied in effectiveness.

violated.
