Brevard Music Center To Open 35th Season July 2 Hrevara music Center be gins its 35th season here July 2nd with 40 different performances scheduled for this summer. The season ends Aug. 15th. Most area music lovers know the Brevard Music Center as a mecca for the performing arts. At Brevard Festival weekends during July and August they see and hear polished perform ances by renowned guest solo ists, stunning opera produc tions, lilting musical comedies plus a potpourri of art exhibi tions, dance recitals and re lated arts activities. But as professional as all BMC performances are, pro fessionalism is not arrived at easily. Long years of study and practice are required, and be hind every memorable sym phonic performance or opera staging there are innumerable hours of study and practice, practice, practice. First and foremost, the Music Center is an educa tional institution. Each sum mer, 300 of the best of the na tion’s student musicians come here to study and learn under some of the best pro fessional musicians anywhere. For every three students there is one teacher, and this unique ratio provides the in spiration and guidance that stimulate the student toward professionalism. All day long at the Music Center students study and prac tice; sometimes in groups, sometimes along with their in struments. In their dormitories, in private practice huts and sometimes just under a seclud ed tree in the woods or by a woodland stream, they work to make beautiful music for the performance coming up soon. The Brevard Spirit also mani fests itself on alumni weekend. On one weekend each year ex students, campers and faculty members get together on the well-loved grounds and remi nisce about the “old days” at the Music Center. This year they’ll gather July 16-18 and, frftn the more than 10,000 alumni scattered all over the country, many will return to the green woods of Transyl vania to recapture those happy and valuable days of the past. This season’s schedule in cludes presentations of op eras such as “Pagliacci” and “Lucia Di Lammermoor”; an operatta, “H. H. S. Pinafore”; a musical comedy, “The Music Man”; a chamber music series on Monday nights by the Center faculty; free student recitals at 4:30 p.m. os Thursday afternoons, beginning J'-'ty 15th; “Pops” concerts; and the Sunday afternoon concerts at 3:30 p.m., featuring guest artists Jerome Hines, Lee Luvisi, Vito and others.

Harrington Let us go where the hills are Singing And the mountains are echoing back, Where lakes that are tranquil and hidden Lure us on up the winding track; Where the joys of the summer await us On the trail that is rugged and high, As we strive for the height of a mountain, For the uppermost blue of the sky! —Burgess It is the glad summertime! Days of flowers, sunshine and blue skies. A time of beautiful blossoms in garden, along road sides, lakes and on majectic mountains. It is a time of free dom and joyousness. The world glows with a beauty that breathes of peace. Summertime brings the blooms of Exotic Japanese Irises. Yes, the unfolding pagen try of the most magnificent of all iris. Their blooms are huge in the doubles, sometimes measuring ten to twelve inches. Their colors seem to be all manner of blues, purples, or chid, pinks, lovely whites, and a great variety of mottlings, speeklings and stripplings. The singles are also a joy in the garden. Some call them Japanese iris. Some say Oriental, while others call them Kaempferi or Higo. All the names are correct, but you can’t go wrong saying Japanese, for they are truly from Japan. Plant them in late August or early September here .in the mountains so that plenty of root growth will occur before Gaither s Restaurant Downtown Brevard Open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. BREAKFAST SERVED ANYTIME Buff et Luncheon 11:45 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Snacks — 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. Dinner— 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. FEATURING ft CHARCO BROILED STEAKS ft ROAST PRIME RIB OF BEEF ft MOUNTAIN TROUT ft CAROLINA COUNTRY HAM PECIAL EVERY NIGHT $|39 ! I YOU CAN EAT ■ | winter. Mulch with well rotted oak leaves. As for their culture: They require abundant moisture dur ing their spring growing sea son. They need an acid soil. (And avoid any soil that has lime). They cannot tolerate lime at all. They are readily grown from seed, and this is really a de light, for what you get is such a pleasant surprise. db^itay Softie plants to start with. Gorgeous named ones are on the market such as Gold Bound, a pure white with gold bands . . . Kagari Bi is a de lightful rose pink . . . Delft Blue is the darling of the lot. There- are many other nice ones. Summer brings many chores in the garden. There’s the ever present weeds to cope with. Mulch as much as possible to keep them down, and in some areas a weed killer might be used—very carefully. Azaleas and Rhododendrons are making buds now for next year’s bloom—so keep watered or the bloom buds will die. July is time to take cuttings of Azaleas, etc., for rooting. Take cuttings after a soaking rain, and early in the morning when they’re really crispy fresh.. Have the sprouting medium are ready before tak ing the cuttings. Place orders for the German (Bearded) Irises now. Also for the Dwarfs; the Spuria; the Sibirica, and especially the Dwarfs or Pumila. Most of these flower both in spring and fall. Flower Focus on Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Tinsley’s magnifi cent collection of Japanese iris at 67 Carolina avenue. On the Emmett K. McLarty Remembrance garden at Bre vard College with a beautiful arral of flowers. On the lovely flower boxes along the streets in Brevard planted by The Transylvania Council of Garden Clpbs. On the riot of colorful flow ers grown by Mrs. Walker Millner at 402 E. French Broad street. On the mammoth Jack-in the pulpit at Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Waldrop’s, Rosman. It is truly spectacular.
