For an hour - afte-r school, Sloan spoke to the junior and senior high teachers about the import ance of the humanities pro gram for our students. He stressed that “the humani ties is not an innovation but a renovation—more of a rescue for the students.” Humanities deal with an interrelation of afll learn ing. The key ingredients of a definition of the hu manities involve man; in terdisciplinary exploration —correlation of literature, history, arts, music and philosophy; concern for values, not facts alone; the search for order in chaos; and the identity with man his great potentiality. “Advances in science are so extreme,” he said, “un- District Court Trials Slated Judge W.

In our neon and asphalt world, teachers know there si a need to develop human be ings, to develop thinking people. When Sloan presented a brief program to the Lions Club on Monday evening, he lauded the humanities program in progress in our local schools and declared taht the designing program was an exemplary one in the nation. “Humanities will not solve every problem in the world,” the consultant as serted, “but educators of the nation are pleading for humanities and students are pleading for humani ties/] »- DAR To Hear State Chaplain Edenton Tea Party Chap ter, Daughters of the Am erican Revolution, will meet December 13 at Eden ton Restaurant.

WEST 1988 Cotton Quota Referendum A referendum on mar keting quota for the 1968 crop of upland cotton will be conducted by mail dur ing the period December 4 through 8, 1967. Marketing quotas cannot be continued in effect, however, without the ap proval of at least two thirds of the qotton grow ers voting in the referen dum. Those eligible to vote are all producers who shared in the 1967 cotton crop or its proceeds and the owners and operators of allotment farms. If quotas are approved for 1968 crop upland cot ton, the cotton program will provide loans and payments to growers who /oluntarily reduce their cotton plantings below the farm allotments. Market ing quota penalties will apply to any excess cotton produced on a farm. If quotas are not ap proved, there will be no quotas or penalties, no di version payments, and no price support payments. Ballots will be mailed to all producers who are list ed on the records as cot ton growers in the county ASCS office.

For the program the Ciompi Quartet formed a wide range of music from Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel to Walter Piston. The au dience could hardly have •been exposed to a more stirring example of small ensemble playing with its fabulous interplay of thought and feeling. Giorgio Ciomfi, violinist, for whom the Ciompi Quar tet is named, came to Am erica from Florence, Italy, in 1948, was invited by Toscanini to become a member of the NBC Sym phony Orchestra, toured internationally for 18 years and was appointed Artist-in-Residence at Duke University in 1964. Ginna Jones and Pat Reaves of John A. Holmes High School felt these were really great performers. Carroll Lassiter expressed the opinion of the majority of students when she stat ed that it was the first op portunity she had had to hear string music and she was glad she was exposed to it. Emily Peele of Chowan High School asserted, “It was an excellent opportun ity for the county students to hear chamber music, and we appreciate this program being made avail able to us. This concert, in addition to the perform ance given by the N. C. School of Fine Arts in Oc tober, makes us Chowan students more aware of the culture in our state.” For Quick Results, Try A herald Classify! BBIb THE HEALTH GAME is the im portant one to win.
