This is not just the thinking of this newspaper editor or the cit izens of the community who dug clown in their pockets and gave S689 to pay the band’s expenses to the state finals last week end in Greensboro. But it was also the decision of the out-of-state judges at the fes tival in which 69 North Carolina bends competed. Brevard citizens can be justly proud of the 50-piece band here. The showing the local youth ful boys and girls made was far superior to that of the much lar ger bands which also performed on the beautiful campus of the Women’s college at Greensboro. And the judges thought so. too, because they gave a superior rat ing only to Brevard that morning, and other groups performing ' in cluded Hendersonville High Point Burlington, Charlotte.

Will Clean Grounds The town board of aldermen an nounces today that the municipal pool and Franklin park will be op en this summer. The opening date is tentatively set for the first week in June and' prior to that time, the various rec reational facilities will be repaired and the grounds will be cleaned. The board appreciated the fact that the Brevard Jaycees had offer ed to operate the park and pool this summer, but the aldermen were unable to enter into a long-range lease with projected expenditures. With the expense of building a four-lane highway from the city limits into the heart of Brevard in cooperation with the state and vyitb other increased costs staring them in the face, the aldermen reported that $1,500 was as much as they could allocate for this project at this time. In making the new budget, they had hoped to inelude the $2,000 the Jaycees had requested if money was available.
