AF Commendation
Medal Awarded
Captain Gamer
Capt. Clyde H. Gamer, com
mander of A-Flight in the 355th
Technical Fighter Squadron based
at Myrtle Beach, S. C., recently
received the Air Force Commen
dation Medal. Deputy Wing Com
mander Col. Joseph J. Kruzel
pinned the medal on Captain Gar
ner at an award presentation
ceremony at the Myrtle Beach
AFB in late April.
The Air Force officer, ' who
lives on the post with his wife
and their two small daughters, is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley L.
Garner of Pinehurst.
Local 6lh Grader 5ih
In W-S Spelling Match
Betsy Edmonds, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jonah Edmonds and
a Pinehurst School sixth grader,
finished fifth at the spelling
match held in Wiinston-Salem on
Saturday.
When she was “spelled down,”
only four eighth grade students
were left in the contest, which
started with 42.
The program, sponsored by the
Winston-Salem Journal and Sen
tinel, was broadcast over two tel
evision stations.
Betsy made a remarkable show
ing and is hoping to be a partici
pant in next year’s contest. As a
finalist, she was presented a large
dictionary and a fountain pen.
Accelerated Interest
The 50 wire photos sent out
from Pinehurst and picked up by
papers from New York to Cali
fornia during the N-S Women’s
Golf tournament April 16-20 and
the N-S Men’s Amateur the fol
lowing week, evidence the accel
erated interest in this “World
Golf Capital” since it was picked
as the site of the National Ama
teur Championship.
Championship Course Closes
The Number Two Champion
ship Course closed Monday in
preparation for a general over
hauling, the re-working of cer
tain holes and tightening of oth
ers, for it is on this course that
the cream of U. S. Amateurs will
converge for the Championship
in September.
By late afternoon Monday, all
flags and tee markers were re
moved, cups filled in and spray
ers were turning vigorously on
tees and greens. Only sign of life
on the course was local artist. Dot
(Mrs. Albert) Sneed, peacefully
parked on the eighth tee only
yards from her back door, with
an easel propped up. in front of
her, transferring to the canvas
the broad vista of the tree-lined
fairway looking toward the green.
Nothing, we think, is peaceful-
ler than a golf course after hours
when the mad scramble for start
ing times has ended and four
somes have ceased shooting off
the tees at seven-minute inter
vals. And the springy turf under
foot provides the best possible ter
rain for a long hike, or for a short
stroll.

Week, May 6-13, sponsored for
K. Gernold Is

the 39th year by the National
Federation of Music Clubs, will
be the North Carolina Symphony
Ball May 11 at the Executive
Mansion, Raleigh.
Purpose of the Ball—to raise
funds for the Endowment Fund
of the N. C. Symphony, which is
assisted also by state government
subsidy.
Metropolitan Opera mezzo so
prano Rise Stevens in last week’s
New York Tribune strongly sug
gests government subsidies as a
means of promoting building and
and maintenance of opera houses
in cities throughout this country
where native-born singers might
have an opportunity to train,
gaining experience that they are
denied at big Houses like the Met
where the star system is, natural
ly, in order.
Oddly, the highest paid singer
at the Metropolitan, during its
“Golden Age” was basso Fyodr
Chaliapin, who “trained” for his
vocal career largely by towing
boats along the Volga shore with
a rope over his shoulder. Prob
ably fine for chest development.
'The blond, 6’8” giant from
Kazan also refused to learn any
language other than his native
Russian, so casts singing with
him were compelled to learn cues
in Russian also.
Possibly this was evidence of
the Russian’s pioneering instinct
—musicologists now are all for
opera sung in English by Ameri
can-born singers in their native
land.
