Judge Comments
Judges were three college musi
cal directors, James Cobb of Flora
Macdonald, Carl Hjortsvang of
Peace College and Daniel Smith
of Campbell College.
Professor Smith, making the an
nouncement of winners for the
judges complimented all the
groups for paying close attention
to the director, poise and' appear
ance. He said, “We would like to
encourage you to undertake more
a cappella singing, also more ‘soft
singing,’ to learn to listen to each
other, and to employ Ahe various
musical dynamics for greater ex
pressiveness.”
Thomas R. Howerton of the Ki
wanis Club was master of cere
monies, introduced each glee club
and presented C. W. Picquet of
Southern Pines, who originated
the contest as a Kiwanis luncheon
program, and has seen it grow to
become one of the most important
musical events of the year in
Mcore county.,Mr. Picquet led the
singing of “My Wild Irish Rose”
and “America,” in which the audi
ence joined. Mr. Howerton also
led the singing of old favorites,.
After prize winners were an
nounced and the trophy awarded,
the Aberdeen glee club, lined up
cn the stage to have their picture
made, burst forth with their
school song. Other groups then
broke into theirs, adding a few
cheers.
The suspense of waiting for an
nouncement of winners was in
creased when names of the win
ning glee clubs were announced
in reverse order, with name of
the first place winner held until
the last.

Mrs. Foster Is
Co-Author of New
Guide For Fathers
Mrs. Constance J. Foster of
Pinebluff, nationally known writ
er of books and articles about
children and family problems, is
co-author of the newly issued “A
^uide to Successful Fatherhood,”
one of the “Better Living Book
lets” published by Science Re
search Associates of Chicago.
The new booklet is written in
collaboration with O. Spurgeon
English, M.D., professor of psy
chiatry at Temple University
School of Medicine and Hospital,
Philadelphia. Dr. English and
Mrs. Foster collaborated on “Fath
ers Are Parents, Too,” a volume
that has attracted wide attention
since its publication in 1952 and
has recently come out in an En
glish edition.
Mrs. Foster is the author of a
series of three articles on person
ality development in ‘Why,” a
journal of popular psychology,
with the second article appearing
in the current issue. Another se
ries by her, on the problems of di
vorce, recently was published by
this magazine.
, Of special local interest, because
it relates a personal experience,
is a story by Mrs. Foster in the
May issue of “Parents” magazine
telling how a kindly old family
doctor explained death to a child.
The new “Guide to Successful
Fatherhood” stresses the impor
tance of a father’s role in all fam
ily relationships and points out
that most material written for pa
rents is directed to mothers. Live
ly illustrations and an interesting
“Quiz for Parents” add to the in
terest of the booklet.
Mrs. Foster has written “Devel
oping Responsibility In Children,”
and several other booklets in the
Better Living series. She is the
wife of Eugene H. Foster and the
daughter of the lath Dr. and Mrs.
C. L. Jackson. Her father was
pastor of the Pinebluff Baptist
Church.
