The festival program has notj yet been published, but it is gen erally known that there will be, as usual, some prominent speakers from both North Carolina nad Tennessee; and at least one national figure, Vice President Nixon. It is said there will be an actual wedding, election of beauty queens, fine music and other gala doings, as well as a picnic.
