BRILLIANT CONCERT BY FACULTY MUSICIANS The concert at the school theatre auditorium last Thursday night by .Virginia G. Fisher, teacher of vio lin at Western Carolina Teachers college, and her accompanist, Her bert Livingston, of the teaching staff of the University of North Carolina, was presented before a very appreciative audience. The brilliant performance of the two coming stars, has been high ly praised by Prof. Rudolph Kra tina of the faculty of the Univer sity of Georgia, who comes from a long line of musicians, himself a noted cellist and member of the Dresden Opera company for 25 years. Mr. Kratina said the three essentials of a truly great artist are quality of tone', technique and an understanding of the compos ers. 1 The possession of these es sentials by Mrs. Fisher was appar ent from the first violin note, and the program was given Iwith an ease and grace that captivated her audience. Her rendition of Gusi koff's Scherzando from American Vialin Concerto was superb, and Schubert's' Ave Marie was played with feeling. Mr. Livingston was completely at home in the modern music and charmed . his "listeners with - his presentation, of Stevens' Rondo. His presentation of the Chopin Etude was one of his best numb ers. Mr. Livingston's adaptability as an accompanist showed real and well-trained talent to subordinate. The concert was given under the auspices of the P.-T. A. of High lands school. Music lovers coming up from Franklin for the concert were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sloan, Mrs. George Sloan, Miss Timoxena Sloan, Mrs. Gilmer Jones and Miss Virginia Slagle.

It was first presented in the United States in 1903, and was the play responsible for estab lishing George Bernard Shaw's popularity in this country. It is Katherine Cornell's favorite play, and crowds flock to see it when ever she revives it, either in New York or on ' the road. Last season, Cornelia Otis" Skinner, the great monologist, toured the country in Candida with tremendous success, "Candida", the central character around whom the play is built, is the warmest, most delightful of all Shaw's characters. She is the only one at whom he does not poke fun. He himself has said that he meant to raise his wicked' eye brows at her, as he does to his other characters, but he fell in love with her . himself and could do nothing about her, except to worship her. as all men do. Candida is the wife of a very liberal, social-minded minister, whose position and dignity, she has maintained throughout the years by her quiet charm and ef ficiency, though he does not know it. A young poet, extremely young, falls in love with her, and upsets the household with his devastating quick-wittedness. Shaw once Said that he is a comedian because people laugh at what he .says most seriously. That is also true of Can dida's poet, young Marchbanks. He has such a way of blurting out the truth that it embarrasses those he comes in contact with, and though everybody laughs at him -at first, in the end those who come in contact with him are forced to meet him on his own grounds. When he declares his love for Can dida, her husband, ,Rev. James Mavor Morell, is vastly amused. However, he soon finds himself jealous and suspicious, and the two men argue it out, without taking Candida into their confidence. In the end, of course, she straightens and her friends, Miss Margaret Bowen, of Tazwell, Va.spen't the weekend here with Miss Thomp son's mother, Mrs. H, P. P. Thomp son, and family. . Miss Bess Hines was the week end guest of her sister, Mrs. New man Ormond, at Nantahala Sta: tion . near Andrews.

To theatre hungry people, and to the younger generation which has had very little opportunity to see really good theatre, Candida is a special delight, for it offers not only stimulus to the eye and the spirit of .adventure, as. the movies do, but also appeals to the intellect and stirs the deep, human sense of humor in ail of us.

SHERRILL Home Demonttration Agent Emphasis is being pTaml all over the United . States for farm fami lies to adopt live-at-home programs in cooperating with national de-' fense. Richard Cobb and his wife of Highlands, the former a unit dem onstration farmer, agree that hard work, good management and co operation are necessary in order to have a comfortable living as well as extra income. The Cobbs live on a h -acre farm of which 35 is in Woodland, They have lived on this farm ' for 3D years during which-time ' they,, have not only made a good living ;"' they have bought farm tools and such oenveniences for', the. home as -the following :. A washing machine op erated by gasoline, an oil-burning refrigerator, running water .in .''the, house which is pumped by a hy draulic 'rami a 'windmill which gen erates enough power for a radio and two lights for the home, and a pressure cooker which was bought this last year. Tractor And Oxen It is interesting to know that Mr: Cobb owns two exen that he agrees are more economical to feed than other livestock. In addition he has a small walking tractor which he uses in cultivating his row crops. ' The story of the Cobb family's food supply is most interesting for a home agent and' county agents who, quite often visit this unit dem onstration farm. Mrs. Cobb always greets these agents with, "We. have just a farm dinner, today." It turns out to be a most delicious dinner and may include country ham or chicken, beans,' corn- which has been pre served by drying, bread made from soybean and rye flour, potato salad, honey, strawberry preserves food that is fit for a king all raised on this farm. . In the course of the conversation Mrs, Cobb will tell you that from two cows she sold 61 pounds of butter during the month of May which brought a total of, $18.30. She also sells buttermilk at 10 cents a quart. The interesting thing about the butter is that she packs down her surplus during the winter months when there is .no tourist trade. During the summer she uses this butter which has been packed, in brine for -her. cook-ring in order to sell her fresh butter. ; When there is a surplus of milk in : the winter, Mrs. Cobb makes American cheese w'hich is more ap petizing than commercial cheese; according to County Agents S. W. Mendenhall and T. H. Fagg. The egg supply; is treated in somewhat similar manner as the butter. Eggs, during the winter, are packed 'in water glass to be used in the home during the summer. Boris Art Exhibit. Attracted Many The exhibition of photographs by , Paul Boris of '.Cincinnati,' at the . .Museum attracted '. many visitors. This photography exhibit . wa.s uni-1 que . for Highlands, ami of such high artistic value that it .would '. be unusual in any conitnunit y. ' Mr. Jioris' specializes in portrait photography, hut lias an inherent flare for the artistic j and. creative, combined with techniques- that in crease his ability to reproduce beauty for the layman. All of Itfis spare-!', time is devoted .'to making. , this sort 'of . photograph, his inter est' being equally divided ibetween character studies and landscapes. This exhibit is attracting a great ., deal of 'attention' and merited en thusiasm'. .Miss Bragg, museum' di rector, is to be -congratulated in. bringing-, this .type of cultural and artistic attraction to Highlands. '- Mr. Boris vbi is a native of Greece, commented recently, "To think that year after year 1 have been returning to Greece and other parts of Europe, without ever knowing, or having had anyone telr'me, that the terrain -of West- em North Carolina is so inuch like that of my 'homeland', with .the added blessing of beauty of peace." A. large part of the exhibit is giv en 'over to 'Grecian;' scenes and studies, made oyer a period of -, seven months. A total of 328 dozens of eggs v.e.re sold laslt year, bringing a. total of $74.91. Small Fruit Raited .Small fruits: are raised isuqh as raspberries and grapes. Twenty dollars was obtained from the sale of raspberry jam last year. . Bees offer a means of increas ing the income. An extractor is used to remove the honey from the comb. The meat supply consists of two hogs from which the hams and side meat are cured. One ham was sold tor $10. The curing is done' at home,' using , hickory bark for smoking. The food preservation carried on by Mrs. Cobb shows how nothing is wasted. Before Mrs. Cobb- could get her pressure cooker, she sav ed her corn by drying. The Cobbs have built up their standard of living over these years. A standard of food products is a result. Tourists have truly "beaten a path to their door." demanding these foods. The only liberty I nicaii; is a ' liberty connected with order; that not only exists along with order and virtue, but which cannot exist at all without them. Edmund Burke.
