EIGHT PAGEij nEEK Membership Drive For Symphony Starts February 3 The annual membership drive of the North Carolina Symphony Society will begin in Cherokee county on February 3, it was an nounced today by Miss Addie Mae Cooke, chairman of the Symphony committee for this community. She stated that the committee believes the local membership goal of $750 can be attained easily, in view of the highly successful appearances of the Orchestra in Andrews and ether W. N. C. towns last season. The committee is confident that it will have the whole-hearted and enthusiastic support of civic or ganizations and individuals who see the "vision of excellence" and a better community. "The North Carolina Symphony is a creative project with human beings as source materials, and ^ those source materials can have greater potentialities than atomic energy, Chairman Cooke said. "The enthusiastic reactions of the children who attended the special program given for them last sea son indicate how much fine music can mean to them when they are given adequate opportunities to hear it and know it." Certainly I the State Legislature should give increased financial aid to an Or chestra that has already achieved national recognition under the leadership of Benjamin Swalin. "As a cultural 'advertisement,' the North Carolina Symphony has no I peer in the state. These are days, too, when music as an international language is more sorely needed than ever before."
