Moving Ahead Western North Carolina has awakened to its resources — historical, dramatic, cultural, scenic and climatic —and is gradually placing harness on them. a * i To Burnsville and adjacent communities, the Burnsville Schoohof Fine Arts, with its near professional dramatic departments, is one of the leading attractions. However, along with the school, we have the Burnsville Painting Clas ses, Inc. which enrolls students from many states; we have Camp Mt. Mitchell for Girls, with 75 campers from many states; Mt. Mitchell itself, on ly a few miles away and still in Yancey County, with the Roan and Grandfather moun tains a short automobile drive away, which are gaining pub licity. Other Western North Caro lina towns have summer thea tres, but the Cherokee drama, “Unto These Hills”, opening its third season on Saturday night, June 28, has brought thousands of visitors to this part of the State. Classed as the nation’s most successful outdoor drama, “Unto These Hills” played to 151,774 per sons for a record attendance last year. Opening this summer for their first season are two his toric dramas —on either side of Burnsville—within easy driving distance of this area. At Boone, “Horn In The West”, a play on the life of Daniel Boone and written by Kermit Hunter, author of “Unto These Hills’,’ has its opening Friday night. “Thunderland”, another Daniel Boone Drama, written by Hubert Hayes, begins in Asheville on the night of July 4 and continues into Septem ber.

Edwards It was political campaign year, one of the first I can re member. The Civil War had been over a quarter of a cen tury, but there was still strong sectional prejudices among mountain people. Most of our fathers had fought on one side or the other, and many ot us had grandfathers, who, being on opposite sides, had fought against each other. Our teacher, Prof. Markus, had been too young for the war, but his father was neut ral. He had been a deserter and had passed the war years in the woods dodging the state militia. Both Prof. Mar cus and his brother Tim took some interest Tn modern poli tics. One day there wag a politi cal meeting at the store in sight of our school. Teacher said, “Mr. Bak, it is now 11:00 and I am due to be in the caucus over at the store. Cap tain Bill Pore is to speak, brother Timotheus with his banjo and cousin Mack Bryan with his fiddle are to make music for us, and I am to make a talk and the eats and drinks will soon be on the ground. I’ll return by 2:30. Until then you will have full charge.” Soon Tim and Mack, with their music, and another man carrying a large stone jug, and about a dozen other men the go.” All that is needed now to make this section a “gar den spot” for summer* guests, as well as for permanent resi dents, is the continued coop eration of all individuals who have enough foresight and willingness t o sacrifice a moment of today to be able to reap all of tomorrow. came down the road* Prof. Mark joined them. Over at the store everything was black with people. After the men with the music and the jug reached the store the noi9e in* creased steadily. At noon the crowd seemed to be going wild* Mally Crobar and myself slipped away and crept down the creek bank through some high corn until we were with in 50 yards of the store; there we hid and took in the show. I could hear Tim’s bahjo going turn,'Mum, plunkety plunk and the fiddle was - screaming. “Ain’t that fiddle a talking lively,” said Mai. I stretched up and looked over a pumpkin vine and said, “Talkin', what’s it a saying?” Mai said, “Why, boy, it’s saying, Susie, Susie Ann.” And sure enough it was, I could understand every word plainly now. Some old tunes were played, ‘ Sally Goodin”, “Run, Boys, Run,” and “Fire On The Mountain.” There were young men and women dancing on the platform and we could see that old stone jug going round and round every few minutes. At 2:00 Prof. Mark was back in the school room. I thought he walked and talked a little different. In about 30 minutes he san down on a bench, be came very quiet, after telling cousin Bak to call up the spell ing class. When the lesson was xiver, I could see that Prof. Mark was sound asleep. We had a good time while he slept. Paper wads were flying, pup ils were running in and out of. the room, one boy had a squirt' gun and squirted all the water out of the water bucket over the room. At last he dropped the bucket and the crash woke the teacher. Prof. Mark sat up and took in the situation quickly before any of us could take cut seats. He said, “Lookee here you den of wild cats, I guess I fooled you that time. You all thought I was asleep; I’m not asleep every time I close my eyes. I’ve been lying here wide awake watching you, and I’m going to whip the blood out ot about a dozen of you ring leaders.” He did. I went home with the blood ozing out ot my iegn.
