Cecelia Ropp Kathy Lakoski Ken Koonce Lester Southern Easter Song 'Calvary' Featured Palm Sunday The Chancel Choir of the Rae ford Presbyterian Church will pre sent the Easter message. "Cal vary", by Henry Wessel on Palm Sunday at 5 P.M. in the newly renovated sanctuary. The 40 member choir will be directed by Chris C. Watkins. director of music at the church. Guest soloists for the presenta tion will include Kathy Lakoski, soprano, who is a senior music major at Greensboro College in Greensboro; Cecelia Ropp, alto; Kenneth Koonce, tenor; and Lester Southern, baritone. Ropp, Koonce, and Southern are all soloists for the Raeford Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir whose voices are well known in the area. From the opening scenes to the last chords of this cantata we are told of a Man who was brought to trial before a mock court, sen tenced to die a death reserved for the worst criminals, beaten and whipped and mocked, and then nailed to a cross only to die after nine hours of pain, thirst, aban donment, and loneliness for the sins of those who had tortured Him. Henry Wessel makes the most of this sense of tragedy and composes a cantata using the last seven words of Christ, sung by the baritone soloist, against the sorrow ing songs of Mary, the mother of Christ, as sung by the soprano. Mary Magdelene. sung by the alto, Joseph, as sung by the tenor, and the raging mob and chorus. "1 believe that this is one of the most beautiful and effective Easter cantatas that 1 have ever worked with in church music," says Wat kins. "1 hope that those people that come to hear this presentation will be moved by the sheer beauty and artistry of the choir and soloists and will sense the deep feeling of emotion that this act of love that surrounded one of the most beauti ful love stories that the world has ever Jcnown."

The Dublic is invited to attend 'Public Hearing Apr. 22 ?On Land Use Proposal On April 22 citizens from Cumberland and surrounding counties will get their first op portunity in a public hearing to comment on a proposed land classification system that will guide the future use of land in our state. One or more Hoke commissioners will attend the meeting. The land classification system is only one recommendation of the N.C. Land Policy Council up for discussion April 22 at 2 p.m. at the Cumberland County Office Build ing in Fayetteville and also during April in Raleigh, Greenville, Le noir, Kernersville, Bryson City. Asheville, and Charlotte. According to the proposed classi fication system, local governments would make the decisions on categorizing lands for future use. The system would promote wise land use and guide federal, state, and local investments and policies affecting land use. The Council also recommends that three or four local citizens commissions, similar to the Coastal Plains Commission, be appointed to guide the classifi cation process and later, to coordi nate regional growth policy. Other recommendations of the Land Policy Council include a policy on valuing property for tax purposes, an automated land use information system, and policies to coordinate land use programs among all levels of government. The recommendations evolved from two years of work, including over 20 local workshops, by the Council and a 24 ? member citizens advisory committee representing agribusiness, tourism, land de velopment. and environmental sci ences throughout the state. The Council was established by the legislature in 1974 to recommend to the governor and General Assembly a land policy and classification system for the state. A variety of local interests represented at the workshops and the composition of the Council and advisory committee have already assured that local interests are represented in the recommenda tions. After the hearings, the recom mendations and public comments will be reviewed by the governor and local planning agencies before submission to the legislature in 1977. College Joins History List Congressman Charles G. Rose announced Tuesday that Flora MacDonald College in Red Springs has been accepted and entered in the National Register of Historic Places. A ceremony will be scheduled at a later date. CB Club Hosts Sale The Hoke County CB Club will hold a 'coffee break' and rummage sale on the 9th and 10th of April.
