The Brevard Little Theatre is
now making plans for the first
play of the 1958-’59 season. The
play will be selected by the theatre
board of directors at the monthly
meeting to be held Thursday even
ing. It is expected that the first
play will be in a humerous vein,
and the play selection committee
is headed by Cleaves Johnson.
After the play has been selec
ted, the playbooks will be ordered
and a casting date will be set. The
casting committee chairman this
year is Marian Sargeant. Soon af
ter casting is complete, rehearsals
will be called and production work
started. The first play will be pre
sented in the Brevard College aud
itorium the latter part of Novem
ber.
The committee chairmen that
will supervise staging this year are
Bob Bolt, Staging; Alex McFadden,
lighting and sound; Eva Burgin,
stage decoration; Jim Hicklin, hand
properties; and Pat Fuleihan,
make-up.
There are several other neces-j
sary committees that work behind
the scenes to make a successful
show season. The chairman of these

committees are: Don Stoneback,
house; Ray Burgin, transportation;
Herb Sargeant, publicity; Gloria
Sanders, social; Bill Norris, pro
gram; and Rae Stoneback, scrap
book.
The Brevard Little Theatre is a
non-profit organization run strict
ly for the pleasure of those Bre
vardites on both sides of the foot
lights. The expenditures estimated
in this year’s budget total about
$1,900. This includes the director’s
salary, rent paid for the auditor
ium and rehearsal hall, the costs
of decorating the stage, printing
tickets and programs, purchasing
playbooks and paying royalties.
There are many other minor ex
penses associated with a produc
tion. The admissions paid make up
the total income of the Little The
atre.
This year, as in the past, season
tickets for all three plays may be
purchased in advance, or single ad
mission tickets may be bought at
the door. Single admission prices
are $1.25 for adults, and 75 cents
for students; Brevard College stu
dents are included in the student
category'.
Season tickets, which are con
siderably less expensive than the
total of three single admissions,
are $2.50 each for adults, and $1.25
each for students. These season
tickets not only include the three
Little Theatre plays, but also are
good for a single admission to the
Flat Rock Playhouse next sum
mer. A small service fee is charg
ed with the Little Theatre ticket
at Flat Rock.
One other type of ticket com
bination is also available; this in
( hides two season tickets with the
Flat Rock punches. This is the Lit
tle Theatre sponsorship. The spon
sorship ticket combination is for
families, shops and stores in the
Brevard area who are friends of
the Little Theatre and want to in
sure that Brevard continues to have
a financially sound amateur thea
tre group in years to come. These
sponsorships are $10.00 each.
Those who purchase season tick
ets and sponsorships become mem
bers of the Little Theatre group,
and arc entitled to all the advan
tages of the organization. These ad
vantages include membership on
the production committees, eligi
bility for the board of directors,
and participation in the member
ship^denies and parties.
This year’s membership commit
tee chairman is Don Wilson, and
with other members of the Little
Theatre board, he will be contact
ing Brcvardites soon to give them
the opportunity to buy season
tickets to the “three greatest little
shows that will be given in Brevard
this next winter.“
It is hoped that many persons in
Brevard will not only buy season
tickets to the shows and come to
see them, but that also they will
come down and help with a show
or two this season.
“Remember that everyone is
strictly an amateur, but with the
help of many people on the
stage, and behind the stage, a show
can be made that is fun for those
v ho work in the show and for
those friends and neighbors in the
audience,” the president states.

Safer Driving Urged On Highways
Brevard, N. C.
Sept. 16, 1958
Mr. John I. Anderson
Editor, The Transylvania Times,
Brevard, N. C.
Dear “John”:
Due to the fact that many of us,
not intentionally, but for lack of
serious thinking, get careless when
driving our automobile, and since
so many of our fine boys and girls
are exposed to the danger intro
duced by such carelessness during
the school term, I thought that the
following, “A Driver’s Prayer”
carried in your paper might help
all of us to be careful, and make
the boys and girls’ lives safer.
A Driver’s Prayer
Dear Lord, before I take my
place today behind the wheel
please let me come with humble
heart before Thy throne to kneel;
And pray, that I am fit to drive
each busy thoroughfare, arid that I
keep a watchful eye, Lest some
child be there. And keep me think
ing constantly about the Golden
Rule when driving past the play
ground zone, or by some busy
school; Then when I stop to give
someone his right to cross the
street, Let me, my brother’s keep
er be and spare a life that’s sweet.
Please make me feel this car I
drive you gave me to enjoy, And
that its purpose is to serve man
kind, but not to destroy.
Sincerely,
F. Brown Carr

Our youngsters are learning the ABC’s
of peace for the future: How to get
along with each other. How to give and
take. How to respect each other’s rights
as individuals.
But right now it’s our job to keep
the peace in a troubled world. And
peace costs money. Money for strength
to keep the peace. Money for science
and education to help make peace last
ing. Money saved by individuals.
Your Savings Bonds, as a direct in

The chart at right shows how the
Bonds you buy will earn money for

they earn is peace.
Think it over. Are you buying as
many Bonds as you might?
