BOONE, WATAUGA COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JUNE ?, 1M0 VOLUME LXXII? NO. SO PRICE: FIVE CENTS 75 Attend Horn Meet Monday Seventy-five enthusiastic sup porters of the Southern Appala chian Historical Association gather ed at the Daniel Boone Hotel Monday night, as the association held its ninth spring dinner meet ing, according to a report by Her man W. Wilcox, Executive Vice President of the Association. Highlights of the meeting con ducted by Dr. I. G. Greer, Presi dent of the Association, were re ports from various projects of the association, best known of which is the summer drama "Horn In The West." Reporting for the "Horn" were Dr. Lawrence H. Owsley, chairman of the Produc tion Committee and William Ross, director of the drama. Their re port pictured the 1960 "Horn" as being faster paced, with stronger characterizstions in many roles, Mr. Wilcox said. In a strong plea for additional membership in the association, Dr. D. J. Whitener pointed out that funds from membership fees fi nanced such projects of the as sociation as the restoration of the Tatum and Squire Boone Cabins, and helped to meet the cost of the Botanical Gardens, a relatively new enterprise of the association. He urged that all friends of the as sociation send in their ten dollar membership fees at once, in order that their names migfct be in cluded in this year's Official Pro gram for "Horn In The West," soon to go tQ press. G. C. Greene resigned as treas urer of the association, due to the press of personal business, and the group named 0. K. Richardson to succeed in that office, Mr. Wilcox reported. Further business of the Associa tion was to organize a system of volunteer workers to augment the staff in theatre operations during the summer. In response to his appeal for 40 volunteers, 48 people came fqrward, Mr. Wilcox said, and declared this meeting throughout to have been the most enthusiastic gathering of the association within his memory.
