8.18 Inches In July
The Wea;
Story, Rain And More Rain
“Rain, rain go away!”
This has been one of those
summers!
Take the month of July for
instance. Some 8.18 inches of
rain fell here in the Brevard
area. That’s about twice as
much as a normal month.
And the weather forecast
... Cloudy skies and thunder
showers.
Crops are suffering. The
farmers can’t get. heavy equip
ment in the fields, and the
situation appears that it will
get. worse before it gets bet
ter.
So far during the month of
August, the rainfall has
measured 1.66 Inches here in
Brevard.
Upper Transylvania has
suffered more rain than the
lower part of the connty, and
the Trench Broad river has
been out of its banks in sev
eral places. However, very
little' flooding has been re
ported.
The showers have caused
slick highways in Brevard
and Transylvania county, and
last weekend there was a
rash of minor accidents.
No serious injuries were
reported by the Highway Pa
trol.

the BREVARD MUSIC CENTER production
of “The Music Man’’ was probably the most lavish
of all time. Literally hundreds of people took part,
whether in the play itself or in the large marching
band, it seemed. There were about 65 principals
in one reviewer’s opinion who deserved praise for
their parts on the stage. Here are four of them.
David Rae Smith and Janice Janiec are shown at
the rear, with Jim Ryan and Barbara Janiec in
front. “The Music Man” was the best attended and
probably the most thrilling musical event ever per
formed at the Center. All seats for the regular
performance were sold in advance, and most of the
seats were sold for the dress rehearsal.
Multi-Million Project
Work Begins On Olin9s New
Paper - Coating Facility
The Ecustia Paper Division
of Olin Corporation has be
gun construction of a multi
mlllion-dollar paper - coating
facility at Pisgah Forest. This
will enable the company to
supplement its line of fine
uncoated lightweight printing
papers with quality coated
lightweight papers for pub
lishing and commercial print
ing.
Coated stock generally is used
for four-color printing because
the coating makes possible ac
curate, sharp and brilliant color
reproduction.
For the past year Olin has
successfully test marked its
Gler,-Cote coated lightweight
printing paper for applica
tions where bulk and weight
reduction are significant,
especially in view of recently
raised postal rates.
The increased use of four
color printing has been a con
tributing factor in heightening
demand for this type of paper.
The use of coated paper by the
publishing industry has grown
approximately 9 per cent an
nually during recent years. Di
rect mail advertising, in which
color plays a major part, has
been expanding by 2 to 3 per
cent for the past few years.

Duke Endowment Makes Three
Grants Of $125,000 Locally
Trustees of The Duke En
dowment have made an ap
propriation of $125,000 t.o the

$3,217,000 cost Of building
II Opposes The
ntrol Program
County has opposed the project.
Mayor Campbell said, “I am
thinking Of all the, citizens of
this community, of your chil
dren and those that come after
us.” He said he has “prayed ov
er this thing many times” and
discussed it with the people
concerned in the valleys.
Mayor Campbell said there
was a need for flood control in
Bosnian, but that he would
prefer flood control programs
less destructive to the area s
“many scenic farming valleys”
than the Upper French Broad
project, estimated at a cost of
more than $118 million over a
period of years.
Work is ready to begin on
the first link at the dam
complex at Mills River, 20
and equipping a proposed
new hospital for the Tran
sylvania region.
Jn a letter announcing the
action, James R. Felts, Jr., a
Duke Endowment Trustee and
the Executive Director of The
Endowment’s Hospital and
Child Care Sections, stated that
the board and staff of The En
dowment were confident that
the new hospital with 64 gen
eral acute beds and 40 long
term care beds will be of great
importance to the hospital in
providing better health care for.
the citizens of Transylvania
County.
Mr. Felts also stated that,
subject to the availability of
funds, two more appropri
ations of $125,000 for each of
two additional years will be
made by the Trustees of The
Duke Endowment. He added
that, although the Trustees
anticipated no difficulty in
meeting the total $375,000
commitment, The Duke En
dowment is now subject to a
four per cent excise tax on
income as a result of the pro
visions of the 1909 federal
Tax Reform Act which re
duces the funds available for
distribution to beneficiary
institutions such as Transyl
vania Community Hospital.
Contributions of approxi
mately $1,100,000 from local
and other sources, according to
Felts, is an important endorse
ment by the community itself
of the need for the new hospital
which is scheduled to be under
construction during September.
In responding to the action
by The Duke Endowment
Trustees, Jack C. Dense,
chairman of the board of
trustees of Transylvania Com

appreciation and stated that

Metropolitan
Star To Sing
This Sunday
The Brevard debut of the
Metropolitan Opera’s sensa
tional soprano Marilyn Horne,
a Pops Concert centered
around the music of Lerner
and Loewe, and a production
of Verdi’s “II Trovatore” with
four imported professionals
in leading roles add up to the
strongest Festival program of
the season this weekend
(August 6-8) at the Brevard
Music Center.
Already a star at La Scala in
Italy and Covent Garden in
London, Pennsplvania - born
Marilyn Horne made her long
awaited debut at the Metropoli
tan Opera in March of 1970, as
Adalgisa in a new production
of “Norma.” Her Act III solo
curtain call resulted in a stand
ing ovation and ten minutes of
pandemonium. It was one of the
most historic debuts in the long
history of the venerable ope
ratic institution.
Endowed with a voice of
unique range “that goes from
true contralto to soprano
without a break” (Sargeant
Ncw Yorker) Miss Horne is
possessed of a unique versa
tility. Wagner. Berg. .Stravin
sky. Bach, MaUer. and Monte,
verdi are some of the ex
tremes in her amazing diver
sified repertoire. As well
known for her appearances
with orchestras as with opera
romuanies, Miss Horne was
invited bv Leonard Bernstein
to annear in a performance it
Verdi’s “Requiem” in com
memoration of ToscanninL’S
100th hirthdav. She is one Of
a rare handfnl of singer* who
ran fill Carnegie Hall to
standing room only.
To be accompanied by Henry
Janice and the BMC Orchestra,
Miss Horne is featured in selec
tions from Rossini. Gounod,
Meyerbeer, and Saint-Saens.
The program aLo includes the
orchestral pieces “Til Eulen
sniegel” bv Strauss and Weber’s
“Fresichutz Overture.” Concert
time for this Sunday matinee is
3:30 p.m.
Verdi’s “II Torvatore” is
the Music Center’s Fridfp
night (August 6) program,
and promises to be the beat,
opera production of the sea-,
son. It will certainly be the
most professional since it
provides a clutch of strong
roles which the Brevard
Music Center has gone to con
siderable lengths tb fill with
superior guest talents, gill
are young, already widely
successful, and any one Of
them could burst into the
highest reaches of operatic
acclaim.
Marisa Galvany, one of the
four guest professionals, needs
no introduction to Brevard
audiences. Last year they gave,
her a standing ovation when she
sang "Aida.” On- the strength of
that performance she was quick
ly booked for “Trovatore.” Also
