Dave Brubeck On Campus
The Popular Programs Committee of ASTC brought to town
a most unusual and exciting treat Wednesday of last week
when the internationally-famous jazz, group, the Dave Brubeck
Quartet, came to Broome-Kirk Gymnasium to stage a two
hour program. As seen, the quartet turned out to be a trio
when alto-saxophonist Paul Desmond was unable to get trans
portation to Boone. Brubeck at the piano, Joe Morello on
drums, and Gene Wright on base still handed their full-house
audience a magnificent course in polyrhythm and polytonality
and gave the local crowd a brief preview of some broadway
tunes and a religious theme'Brubeck is now composing. Mor
ello turned on with a ten-minute drumming session, in which
at one time he had three different (maybe four) rhythms
going. Veteran concert followers of the Brubeck four were
generally agreed that the casual style of Wednesday’s presen
tation was a comfortable change from the regular high collar,
tough concentration stage method. Brubeck talked with the
audience throughout the program, answering the call of pro
grams committeeman Sonny Tigniere to explain to the people
what he was doing, musically. Here, Brubeck and Morello dis
carded their jackets to get about the rigorous business of
entertaining in a jazz vein. (Rivers photo)
Uncle Pinkney
(continued from page four)
He figgered maybe they’d put
us out on one of them perserv
es before long, like they done
the buffaloes.
Ed Doolittle allowed as how
we got confusion everwhere,
from population trends to a ar
guement over whether wimmen
wiggle or waggel when they
walk. And, as usual, Ed blamed
a heap of this confusion on the
Democrats. Fer instant, he re
collected when Lyndon sighed
the Civil Rights Bill he- called
all the reporters out to the Lin
coln Memorial fer the cere
mony. When he signed the new
immigrating bill he called ’em
out to the Statue of Libery,
and he went on television, to
sign the bill cutting excise tax
es on some items. But, said Ed,
when he signed the bill put
ting them excise taxes back, he
sneaked in his office and done
it in private.
Clem Webster was defending
the Democrats, said they wasn't
no appropriate place to sign a
tax bill on account of they ain’t
never been a stature erected in
this country to the taxpayer.
Zeke Grubb claimed this was
a serious oversight, that the
Guvernment had ought to erect
a monument to the taxpayer,
showing a man with his pockets
turned inside out, along side
the Washington Monument, on
ly make it a few feet higher.
The fellers at the store, Mis
ter Editor, all of them around
70 years old, was great on hind
sight. They can tell you what
was wrong with yesterday but
they ain’t got no cure fer to
morrow. It makes me recollect
the story in the paper where
this feller was in court trying
to git a divorce. He told the
Judge if he'd knowed about
electric blankets and store
boughten bread he never would
have got married in the first
place.
But I agree with Ed that
things was gitting mighty con
fused in life. It has got to the
place, fer instant, where it’s a
little embarrasing fer a feller
to pay his bills ever year and
have a little left over. His
neighbors call him a miser and
he ain’t got no status with his
banker on account of he ain’t
got his name in their “notes
receivable” files. Personal, I
ain’t got that trouble, either
with my neighbors or my bank
er.
Yours truly,.

May 13 Is Final Day
For Farmers To Sign
The final date for producers
to sign requests for 1966 under
the Cropland Adjustment Pro
gram is May 13. The rate per
acre for tobacco is 1 cents per
pound times the farm’s normal
yield. An example of a farm
with a .50 acre allotment and a
2,400 pound per acre yield
would pay $144 per acre for
five to 10 years, depending on
the agreement.
The diverted acreage under
the program would have to be
set aside and put in a soil con
serving crap. No grazing or har
vesting of the allotment or base
which is set aside is permitted
for the entire period of the
agreement.
A total of 78 acres of tobacco
could be signed up under the
program for 1968.
Farmers who have questions
on the long-term Cropland Ad
justment Program (also called
soil-bank) should contact the
Watauga ASCS Office by May
13, according to Roy W. Isley,
County Office Manager.
