FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER
EDITOR JOttN ANDERSON
We Just have to commend
dm folks at Brevard Music
Center for the outstanding
Job that they did last week in
their production of Meredith
Willson’s “The Music Man’’.
A packed house was on
hand for the Friday night
performance, and the 1,500
seat auditorium was almost
full for Thursday night’s
dress rehearsal. Many of
these were from camps in the
immediate vicinity, and the
youngsters proved to be a
most enthusiastic audience.
We overheard several com
ments about the fine “Enka
High School Band” that was
used in the play’s grand fi
nale. Many local folks won
dered why our own excellent
band wasn’t used, and there is
a very simple explanation.
That was not the Enka
band that performed so well!
Only their uniforms were
used, while the “band” itself
was composed entirely of
young music student camp
ers at the BMC.
Actually, Music Center of
ficials had tried first to bor
row Brevard High's band uni
forms, but they were not
available since they were to
the process of being cleaned.
Enka’s uniforms, however,
were available, so BMC bor
rowed 110 of them for their
own campers to ufce to “Hie
Music Man”.
It’s certainly a credit to
BMC that their caibpers could
fool so many people, perform
ing like a well-drilled unit
with relatively little time to
rehearse together for their
performance.
.At any rate, “The Music
Man” was a great Droduction,
and local, people T —
great detfLof ]
fact that perfbrs
as these are being produced
right here in our own back
yard.
We’re anxious to see our
newspaper friend, W. C: “Mutt”
Burton star in the play this
week at the Flat Rock Play
house.
“Mutt” should have been on
Broadway many years ago, but
he choose to write for the
Greensboro Daily instead.
He does his acting during his
vacations in the summer time.
If you miss him at Flat Rock,
you can probably see him in
action in the Burnsville theatre.
Since we are natives of Reids
ville, we have known each other
over the years, and we have
great respect both for his acting
ability and his excellent writ
ings.
Incidentally, the play in
which he stars this week at
Flat Rock is “Spofford”. you’ll
enjoy it!
We don’t usually talk poli
tics in this column, but every
where we go, the topic of con
versation often gets around to
who is going to be in the Gov
ernor’s race next year.
Maybe we should say the
question is asked “Who is
leading in the Governor’s
race at this time?”
Of course, it’s common
knowledge that there are four
candidates:
Lieutenant Governor Pat
Taylor
Senator “Skipper” Bowles
Attorney Governor Robert
Morgan, and
Hugh Morton.
We heir by the grapevine
that Morion will be here on
Friday, the 13th, and you re
member that Lt. Gov. Taylor
Ultohe af'SHie College gradu
ation. ' ; yr;iv
Taylor seems to be very
popular in the Piedmont, the
East and the West Most of
the strength, apparently at
this time, for Bowles and
Morgan is in the Piedmont
and the East Morton says he
is still just checking and is
not an announced candidate.
We like the one about the
hippie who was oh a TV man-on
the-street interview program in
Indianapolis. When asked what
he thought about the Indian
apolis 500, he replied: “I think
they’re innocent.”
Borrowed . . .
One thing that’s hard to
keep under your hat is a big
head.
—☆—
A good thing about silence
is that, it can’t be repeated.
Joke of the week . .'.
Beggar: “Will you let me
have a dime, sir?”
Man, after fumbling in his
pocket: “I’m sorry, but I haven’t
any change with me; I’ll give it
to you when I come by again.”
Beggar: “Well—all right, but
you’d be surprised at the money
I lose giving credit this way.”
And we also like . . .

book - seller who inserted it:
