Gubernatorial c a n d i date
Robert L. Gavin spoke before
Brevard Republicans last Sat
urday night emphasizing in
dustry and job development.
Speaking before just under 20C
people at the fund-raising din
ner, Mr. Gavin proposed that a
job development commission be
established for North Carolina.
The duties of this commis
sion, he said, would be to co
ordinate the activities of the
state’s many administrative
departments which are con

Mr. Gavin pointed out that in

Pfohl Writes
Community Thanked By
Director, Music Center
Sept. 8, 1964
At the end of the Brevard
Music Center’s 28th season, it
is more than just appropriate
that I thank the citizens of
Brevard for the help which
made this the most successful
summer we have known. It is
a pleasure to be able to do so.
The paradox which makes
things most dear to us often
most neglected or forgotten
was resolved in Brevard this
summer, as more and more of
our citizens began to share the
rewards—and not just the bur
dens— of the “Summer Music
Capital of the South.” Students
from 44 states and Puerto Rico
came to study and to play at
Transylvania Music Camp; and
the finest performances and
the greatest musical artists en
riched our community. Thou
sands of tourists attended the
Center’s concerts, in addition
to the increased local follow
ing.
Especially the news media—
