Awarded Waynesville
Foxhunters Here Victory Medals
Awarded State Show
At Meeting of Officials Will Be Given
Last Week Ex-Servicemen
Following a conference between
officials of the North Carolina
Foxhunters Association and repre
sentatives of the Haywood-Jackson
Association here last week, it was
announced that the Stale twnch

show; J. W. Killian, president;
Jack West, vice president of the
Haywoodr-Jackson group; and Tom
Davis of Hazelwood, member of
the state bench committee.
This will be the first time the
North Carolina association, one of
the largest in the country, lwis
held one of its annual shows in
this part of the state. A promise
to bring the show to the west was
made to a local delegation attend
ing the field trials at Haleigh last
fall. Several other locations were
taken into consideration, and the
deciding factor in selecting Way
nesville as the site for the 1948
show was the great success of the
local hound show last summer.
Around 300 entries are expected
in the July 5 event, from all over
the South, and several thousand
spectators are expected.
H. P. Richards of Bluff City.
Tenn., will judge the show, and
Robert C. Collins of Asheville was
chosen as master of ceremonies.
A business meeting of all mem
bers of the N. C. Foxhunters will
be held here following the show.
Hounds that are entered in Ihis
show must be owned by members
of the association, and a campaiKn
is being conducted in this area to (
encourage all local foxhunters to
become members. Anyone who is
interested in joining may contact
J. W. Killian, Tom Davis or Jack
West, who have a supply of mem
bership blanks.

The first conceit will be a tree,

Since its rcnrgnnizal ion in lilH!)
when only two concerts were giv
en, the Stale Symphony has been
acclaimed by several hundred
thousand North Carolina citizens.
Last season the orchestra gave 115
concerts in f9 orlh Carolina
towns and the attendance was 100.
000 children and 50.000 adults.
The enthusiastic response of
the children who attended the free
concerts indicates how much line
music can mean to them when they
jure given (lie opportunity lo hear
i it. As a cultural force the sym
phony is one of the state's greatest
i assets.
The 23 members of the Little
Symphony will travel to HO com
munities from February 0 until
! April 1, at which lime it joins the
full symphony lour which con
j tinues through May 20.
I There are several reasons why
the North Carolina Symphony di
vides itsell into the "Little'' and
"Full" symphonies. TJioiv are so
, many demands for the orchestra
'from smaller communities that it
is necessary to travel two monins
with only one busload of players
before assembling1 three times that
number for the full orchestra.
As in the case of the full orches-
t ,he , ju,e Symphony presents
I nn.,ine nrBrams centered
around such winks as Haydn's
"Surprise" Symphony and his
Symphony No. 97 perfectly tailored
