By Paul Barwiek
Since she was a little b-iby Miss
Carolynn Howard, of Kiastcn. has
been singing.
In fact, it was her jumping around
and singing as a young baby in her
crid, that caused her father consid
erable concern. "Keep her from
jumping and singing like that," her
father advised Mrs. Howard, "She'll
be bowlegged."
One thing for sure, and that is
Carolyn is not gowiegged. She has
recently won the Miss Kinston title
and will compete for the Miss North
Carolina ti.!e in Charlotte July 19
23. But the early singing paid off.
Carolyn nreaily noes have music in
her bones. Not only is she a well
trained Lyric Soprano, but she has
the life and expression about her
singing and personality which some
how lifts the burdens of those who
listen to her.
She is a graduate of the New En
gland Conservatory of Music, Bos
ton, Mass., and has performed as
soloist at Cape Cod, Mass., for
three summers at summer resorts,
recorded on RCA with the Boston
Symphony and appeared with the
Boston Pops Orchestra and made
television appearances as a soloist.
Now that she has returned to
Kinston and Lenoir County and ' is
a well-trained soprano, Carolyn has
consented to give a concert benefit
for the Business "and Profession!
Women of Kinston. Money raised
thorough this concert will go into
the Scholarship Fund of the organi
zation.
This Scholarship Fund concert is
scheduled for Tesoher's Memorial
Auditorium, July l. at 8 15 p. m.
in Kinston .
'There's never b-;-a any doubt
that I would study music," Caro
lynn said. "I will have something
of a career but I do not want to be
a life-long career woman. I hope
to be married, but no any time
soon."
The 22-year-old blonde who was
born in Rocky Mount has studied
under some of the finest teachers in
the Unked States and her future
plans of study are under one of the
world's greatest instructors.
At Grainger high school, she per
formed with the Grainger Hi Sin
gers, directed by James HaK. who
is leaving Kinston to enter the
Greensboro School System this fall
as a music instructor.
She attended Meredith College, in
Raleigh, for two years and majored
in voice. At Meredith she studied
under Miss Beatrice Donnelly. She
also attended East Carolina College
Greenville, for two summers.
At The New Fngland Conserva
tory, her teacher was Madam Uta
Graf. Boris Goldsovsky was Caro
lyim's opera coach. Goldovsky is
seen on national television with the
Saturday after Met Broadcasts. He
also director of the New England
Opera Company.
She plans to enroll in the Guise-
ppe Verdi School of Music, Milan,
Italy, this fall, unless, ol course,
she is selected as tho Miss North
Carolina. Her teacher in Italy will
be the World Renowned Carman
Melis, who has instructed some of
the World's most outstanding opera
performers.
Since Carolynn started studying
voice at 14 in Asheville, under the
instruction of Mrs. W. D. Kemps,
she has reecived high acclaim for
her voice and ability to sing. Ad
ded to this her love for singing.
She is a member of tne First
Baptist Church of Kinston. where

'Quick Test" Is
Developed To
Detect MH-30
Farmers who are still undecided
on whether to use MH-3H for sucker
control on tobacco this year are re
minded that all of the tobacco com
panies have stated they will not
knowingly purchase any tobacco
which has been treated with MH-30.
In the past, it has always been
difficult for buyers to tell MH-30
treated tobacco on tne warehouse
floor. However, one company has
already developed a chemical which
will give to the buyers a 'quick test'
on the warehouse floor as to wheth
er the tobacco has Been treated or
not.
Farmers are being advised by
Stabilization Corporation not to use
MH-30 on their tooacco until the
chemical has been proven or dis-
proven through research. That is
the same position Being tatwn oy
th Federal Government and such
research has been ordered.

Camping has become one of the
biggest points of interest for people
all across the United States. With
the growth of many State and Na
tional Parks, tourists can camp out
and never have to spend a single
night in a commercial dwelling and
travel across the United States.
Cliffs of the Neuse State Park,
near Seven Springs, is one of the
most popular camping sites in Nor
th Carolina, despite the fact tnat it
is not near any big tourist attrac
tion. Some families will spend and en
ire week in tents and, under the
stars at the Cltffs. Tune has been
whoa only the men waufd dare ven
ture out for a week in the wild. But
now, it's men, women and children,
and all love it.
An example of a family outing
was evident last week at the Cliffs.
Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Taylor, and
Mr .and Mrs. Frank Harriett and
two children, Louise and Jimmy,
spent the week end at the Clifls,
and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The Taylor, from New Bern, and
the Harrietts, from Pollocksvillc,
were making a trial run. They are
planinng a trip to North Carolina's
mountains and plan to spnd the
entire trip in State and National
Park camping sites.
It was the first outing for the
wives, but the men havs done it
before. They're Boy Scout adult
leaders in their respective comm
unities.
"Oh. we're enjoying it,' -Mrs. Har
riett said. "It's a lot of fun to be
out here, "Mrs. Taylor said.
One of the main reasons the lad
ies were enjoylfig it was (friat the
men-were actually helping with -''e
cooking. It has often been sa:d if
the wife wants her husband to do
the cooking, just bay him an out
door grill and a bag of charcoal. It
worked in this case.

and Harrietts slept were large, the

"As optometry has growT in gen

the hope of conquering tne nuge
multitude of vision disorders which
plague a complex society. Because
one discovery leads to another in
research, optometry's contributions
to health of the nation have mount
ed rapidly." j
The Wallace eye doctor, installed
last month as vice president in
charge of legislation for. the North

added.:
"At the core optometry s growth

good vision care to every town and
village across the country.
"A society in which vision dis
orders deprive us of our greatest
capacity for knowledge, productivi
ty and progress cannot survive the
competition in the gigantic strug
gle among world powers. This rea
son, coupled with the fact that keen
minds are needed to replace doctors
who are removed from practice by
death and retirement, points up the
tremendous need for a vigorous
career guidance program.." Dr.
Robinson concluded.
As secretary-treasurer of tne sou
thern Conference on Optometric
Education, Dr. Robinson is the se
cond North Carolinian ever to serve
the regional group. Dr. G. L. Lang

"I like to think 1 am a positive

That's what Judge Henry I..
Stevens Jr. said, as he completed
his tour of duty with the New
Hanover Superior Court and pre
pared to "ride the circuit" to his
next post in the Sixth Judical Dis
trict. Elaborating on the concept of the
"positive judge," Judge Stevens de
clared: "1 believe in the certainly of pun
ishment, rather than severity." '
A Superior Court jtid.ue lor 22 ,

three years. Stevens has acquired
the reputation with courthouse offi
cials throughout the state as "a
judge who really runs his court.
No solicitor or defense attorney
ever succeeded in challengin .-; Slev
en's control of the judicial process.
Questioned on this point. Judge
Stevens laughed and said:
"A judge is supposed to run his
court. If he doesn't, you can bet
that somebody else will run it for
him."
Judge Stevens came up in nr.
election fight against a solicitor
who had his eye on the same judgeship.
"I never had an appointment.
and never lost an election." Judge
Stevens recalled. "No governor ever
gave me anything."
One of Judge Stevens special at
tributes as a judge is his ability to
clear up" a crowded docket, and
