joyous musical production.
Major cast members who
deserve special credit for this
successful production include
Evelyn Moricle as Aunt

dowager; Larry Alford, who
does a great job with the star

his mastery of a considerable
reperatory of songs; and Fran
Adams as Laurey, who also

Crib Needed
A new baby needs Mother,
Milk, and also a little space
in the world all his own. That
means a crib.
Do you have a crib that
you could donate to the Health
Department? Or do you have
some nice smooth slats we
could make into crib sides,or
foam from packing material
that we could use to glue to
gether and make into a mat
tress. A crib does not have
to be elaborate to be baby's
own place.
We thank you for any crib
power you can give us. •. The
Yancey County Health Center.
