Applachian Folklore To Bo Recorded
The quaint folk ways of the
Appalachians are being lost in
the dust of the development
boom in the mountains, preser
vers of the Culture are saying.
That's the reason for a pro
ject by the Appalachian Con
sortium —of which Western Ca
rolina University is a member
—which will attempt to record
mountain folklore on tape and
film, and study the effect of
urbanization on 26 mountain
counties in North Carolina and
Eastern Tennessee.
The project also will try to
find ways to help in-migrants
(people who have moved ftom
cities to the mountains) work
alongside native mountaineers
for the common good of the
region.
$25,000 in funding for the
project has been granted to the
Consortium by the North Caro
lina Committee for Continuiqg
Education in the Humanities.
Gordon Mace, widely4nown
author and now a resident of
Europe, has been named direc
tor for the project.
The Consortium is made up
of three universities, two col
leges, and four service agencies
in the region which joined for
ces to salvage, preserve, and
continue the heritage of the
Appalachian mountain region.
Membeis of the consortium
are Appalachian State Univer
sity, Lees-Mcßae College,
Mars Hill College, Western
Carolina University, East Ten
nessee State University, the
U.S. Forest Service, the Blue

8-Cent Christmas Postage Stamps
A* the year-end holidays approach, we see again the de
lightful and colorful rrray of stamps to lend cheer and signi
ficance to the season. The usual stamps portray great reli
gious paintings, folklore and song characters, toys,children!
drawings, and thematic subjects.
In recent years, U. S. stamps have been issued in rather
complicated patterns, leading to many printing errors and
plate number block combinations. This year we will see
two stamps; one is a whimsical representation of Santa Class
and the much loved "Twa* the Night before Christmas”; the *
other is a beautiful painting, a detail from a National Gal
lery of Art painting, "Mary, Queen of Heaven", done in the
15th Century by an unknown Flemish artist who is identified
as the Master of the St. Lucy Legend, became of a painting
on that subject he executed for a church in Bruges.
