BOLICS?
Parents, Montreat-Anderson Is certainly
glad to see you. That's not to say your sons
and daughters aren't. Some of them are
running short of cash. Others, unaccustomed
to mounting hills, have lost weight. A few
may even be wiser. In summary, the composite
offspring is without money, thin, and fairly
bloated with ideas.
You may even find yourselves involved in
heated arguments with the children you raised.
But, mostly they'll be glad to see you, your
check book, and afterwards, find out what's
going on back home. They can't argue with
you too much. Who wants to lose a free ride?
And that's one of the best rewards for a
"Parents' Day". Without transportation, long
weekend won't be merely "long". Try grim.
Can you imagine.- Four days, or ninety-six
hours, or 5,760 minutes at Assembly Inn?
Yes, it's good to get away from Montreat.
Fathers and Mothers, who are now chaffeurs,
welcome to the world behind the gate.

APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL
ANDERSON AUDITORIUM SAT. OCT. 26
One problem in today's world lies in the
Inability of men to accentuate their common
bonds. This is a particular problem in the
South—a region long characterized by poverty
— and defeat. Because of this frustrating
environment, many young people leave the
South, refusing to Identify with it.
C. Van Woodward, the southern historian,
has written that the history of extreme poverty
and defeat which the Southerners share is a
common bond and a common experience which
the South has to contribute to the rest of the
country.
Many students, defining the South in terms
of its problems, see its culture as a natural
expression. The people of the South, of the
mountains and the lowlands, the black and the
white, through their folk music particularly.
have woven a poetic story of a people in
struggle against problems of life and death and
dignity. These expressions have defined not
only the South's but America's cultural heritage.
The Appalachian mountain tradition is a
proud and Important part of this heritage. From
the earliest unaccompanied ballads through the
blue grass and early string music of this century
to the modern country music we have an avenue
to the understanding of our present and our
past.
The Southern Folk Cultural Revival Projects,
inc. and the Youth Commission of the Council
of Southern Mountains presents the Appalachian
Mt. Festival. Performers are southern musicians
most of whom are known nationally but are
relatively unknown In their own region.
