T.V.A. News Introduction of lake trout in several North Carolina reservoirs, the first known attempt to intro duce lake trout in the Tennessee Valley, is being tried on the recom mendation of TVA fisheries work ers. Lake trout eggs obtained from Illinois have been hatched in North Carolina hatcheries. The young fish will be liberated when they reach suitable size. Fisheries in vestigations conducted on the Lit tle Tennessee River last year by TVA biologists indicated condi tions favorable to trout. On 'lie basis of these findings, the Ten nessee Department of Conservation recently planted 46.800 rainbow trout fingerlings in the stream. * * ? * Safety record at phosphate plant ?

Baseon Lamar Lunsford, of Turkey Creek in Buncombe County, who run? the festivals, wants it that way s( he can separate the traditional authentic mountain minstrels fron those who try to introduce pro fessional tricks and outlandei m cSUve' stRA^ht t AHEAD FOKct*RT *lTH SATURN C ? 1 rJHijtUMM J BATHRItS j 1 ( \"P^ FOR THI N TIRES TUBES and SERVICE ?3 WL AT ALL Sinclair Stations I costumed. The story of Mr. Lunsford's I lifetime' of reviving and recording ! the folklore of the Blue Ridge and | the Big Smokies is told by Harold j If. Martin in "Minstrel Man of the Appalachians" in this week's <M?y 22nd) SATURDAY EVENING i POST. It, is illustrated with color j photographs showing, among oth ers, Sam Queen, the famous clog ' dancer of Soco Gap; Bug Robinson | and Mrs. Cole crossing the foot bridge over South Turkey Creek; fiddler Blaine Holler and his kin folks. and a hoedown dt Cataloo chee Ranch. As a folklore scholar, Bascom is offended by the synthetic hill billies w ho wear cowboy hats and go in for whooping, cowbell-rind ing music played on electric gui tars, Mr. Martin says. An accident probably prevented Mr. Lunsford from becoming a mountain troubadour in the man ner of Burl Ives and Roy Acoff, according to the POST article. He made ten recordings of his moun tain songs in a room in the George Vanderbilt Hotel in Ashe vi lie, shortly after the first World War. hut something was wrong with the machine, and Bascom's voice went (>n the wax as a faint, far-away quavering, Mr Martin says. "Sometimes when Bascom hears a highly popular folk singer on the radio, and compares what he knows the singer earns with the modest [ $1000 that is his share in the pro ceeds of tin festival, and the ter ;.nd twenty-five-dollar fees he gets for lecturing, he feels a twinge of 1 egret that the recording machine went bad that time when he might have had a chance to become on.e of the highly paid troubadours. "Then he thinks of the mountain music still alive in the hills, and of the school^ which have teams ol dancers now and of the many voungsters who are playing the liddle and picking the banjo \s their grandfathers did .... " 'Then." he says, rearing back tnd putting his thumbs in the arm holes of his vest, "I don't take niv hat off to any man. I feel as proud as any preac her of what I ve done.'
