i A New Home For The,
N.C. Museum Of Art
A building with gardens,
fountains and other devices to
provide pleasure and delight is
the dream of the planners for
the new North Carolina
Museum of Art A; .
The new museum building is
several . years and several
1 millions of dollars away, but the
architect, Edward Durrell
: ' Stone, has been selected; the
: i General Assembly has voted
four -million dollars for the
v!j structure; and the staff has
made a preliminary study with
recommenaauons to iui
; museum needs.
" : The museum, which opened in
1956 in a renovated Highway
Department building, long ago
outgrew its original four floors.
Its :offices are housed on the
sixth floor of the adjoining
present Highway Building.
The museum collection now
consists of 3,215 items, in
cluding 741 paintings, 308
drawings, 185 sculptors, 568
.prints, 68 pieces of furniture, 203
textiles, more than 700 works
classified as "minor arts," and,
in a separate collection, more
man 400 pieces in the Mary
Duke Biddle Gallery for the
Blind.
5 ; Only a fraction of the
collection can be shown at one
time, and the collection is
growing constantly. A number
of private collectors already
have indicated their interest in
giving their collection to the
museum if space is made
available for it.
t : The staff study was submitted
'recently to Gordon Hanes of
Winston-Salem, chairman of the
program committee of the
Museum Building Commission.
V The report is not specific in
terms of total square footage
and no mention is made of cost
The site for the museum has not
been decided, a factor that will
determine certain features of
the building. The report does
allow for the expansion of the
collection and calls for flexible
exhibition areas to allow for
major and minor installation
changes.
Provision is made for the
preservation of works of art,
and for ' the research,
publication, and education
programs of the museum. The
education function is a vital
part of the museum's obligation
to encourage an ever-increasing
enjoyment and understanding
of art on the part of the people of
North Carolina. ! Assembly
areas, auditoriums, lecture
rooms and studios are needed.
; Space would be provided too
for the North Carolina Art
Society, along with offices for
the North Carolina Arts
Council, and offices, practice
(rooms and rehersal halls for the
North Carolina Symphony
which has long needed a per
manent home.
And for the Footsore, the
report recommends "relief"
areas, such as lounges and

Something New' in the East
If you haven't seen "The New East", it's
probably because you're not a tourist But
don't fret, because this brand-new promotion
' al publication wasn't designed for the specific
enjoyment of the natives ..." . .. .
Rather, the basic concept of "The New
East" is to illustrate the near-limitless advan
tages offered by Eastern North Carolina and,
perhaps, convert the tourists to more perma- -.
nent native types. . .
The area magazine is anticipated to be v.v
published on a quarterly basis. One of its most'
attractive features is its total lack of commer
cial advertising. . t ,

The N.C. drop I Reporting
Service said tiwf second largest
corn crop of record in the state
was indicated' by conditions
around August 1. Also in the
offing is a record size crop of
soybeans.
In the first forecast of the
season for corn, prospects were
placed at 103,180,000 bushels.
Such a crop would exceed all
others except the 104,958,000
bushels produced in 1967. Last
year's crop amounted to only
86,840,000 bushels. An average
yeild of 77 bushels per acre is
indicated this season, the
highest on record.
For soybeans, a 17 per cent
increase in acreage, and a 25
bushel yield have pushed,
production prospects to
27,375,000 bushels. This output
would exceed the previous
record of 27,366,000 bushels
produced in 1967.
Flue-cured : tobacco is
forecast at 651 million pounds
62 million short of last year's
outturn. Indicated production is
tiie second smallest since the
acreage-poundage program
started in 1965 and acreage for
harvest is the smallest since
1916. About 332,000 acres will be
harvested 2 per cent less than
in 1971. An average yield of 1960
pounds per acre is indicated,
well below last year's average
of 2,102 pounds.
All belts in the State show
declines in production prospects
compared with 1971: type n
dropping to 233 million from 260
million; type 12, to 330 from 355
million; type 13, to 88 from 98
million. Burley is forecast at
17,325,000 pounds compared
with 14,455,000 produced last
season.

SHARING THROUGH WITNESS
LESSON TEXT: Acta 4:13-21; 6:26-40. J I
Our Lesson today signifies the end of a series devoted to
the devotional life of the Christian. It therefore becomes
time of inner searching and of renewed commitment
The subject of our Lesson today emphasizes the fact that
the contribution of the good old-fashioned prayer meeting
.should not be overlooked in the devotional life of the
i Christian.
The prayer meeting dates back to the time of the for
mation of the early Church, and provides, even today, room
forbomdeteapdwitoesslng.Trusisaptiymustratedmour
Bible passages as they relate how the apostles, Peter and
John, healed a crippled beggarman on their way to the
Temple. :-h v-' " ,
"As a result of this miracTeT FcrowrquickTy suwourtfed
' the principals in this drama, and Peter quickly seized on the
opportunity to preach to the, assembled townspeople His
subject was the risen Savior - and one can only guess at the ,
number of converts Christianity obtained from this wit-,
iiessmg-fnwingasitdid-mehealmgmu-acle. ,
Members of the Sanhedrin promptly called the two
disciples to account, threatening them with purdsnment if
they did not immediately desist from mentioning Christ s
name in public. Peter, zealous witness thut he was defied that
august body, accusing inem oi raving ihi '
Chrisfs death, drawing attention to the fact that He had
f risen..,and that His miraculous Presence lived on.
Unable to refute Peter's charges, ana wun uw uuiw wan
(now healed) an obvious convert, the Sanhedrin retired from j
this exchange in abject defeat;.
, ' The point here is that people with this tremendous
amount of faith cannot (and will not) be silenced by threats,
or punishment! Christ realized - and did not hide the fact,
from them that His disciples would face punishment and
ridicule as they continued His earthly work...and He
provided for them accordingly. He called them from their
mourning in the Upper Room, and sent them about their
' business among the people, that they might win souls'nd
glorify the Lord. ' ', '" ', , n
5 Today, this also is our task. We must not keep the, good
news of the Gospel to ourselves. We are constrained to share
r it because of Christ's love for us and for all men. And lest,

ourselves on the basis thai; we are not good public speakers,!
