voluntary conlflbulions, chief
of which Was the Burnsville
Woman’s Club, sponsor of the
Girl Scouts in Burnsville.
Classrooms in Burnsville Ele
mentary School engaged in fri
endly competition to see which
would have the largest repre
sentation present. To add zest
to the contest, Mr. Hunter pro
mised an outing (to be specified
later) as a reward to the win
ning room. Although several
classes boasted they ha d the
best representation, Mrs. Ben
Banks’ fourth grade class, with
29 children present, was con
ceded the winner.
Members of the orchestra ap
peared to enjoy the occasion as
much as the audience, commen
ting upon the beauty of the sur
roundings, the attentiveness of
the audience, and the gratifying
size of the crowd.
Following the concert a hot
lunch was served to about 40
members of the orchestra and
special guests in the sdhool caf
eteria. The lunch was served by
mothers of the Girl Scouts,
chairmaned by Mrs. O. W.
Deyton. Cadette Scouts in uni
form were on hand to usher,
- act as messengers, and help in
serving lunch. They had also
distributed posters throughout
the county.
The orchestra had traveled

by chartered bus, leaving the
Thomas Wolfe Playhouse at
eight a. m. Another vehicle Was
necessary to transport the ket
tle drums, cellos and other
large instruments. *
While credit should go to a
great many people for providing
Burnsville with music of such
high caliber, a special thanka
should go to the Girl Scouts who
were responsible for bringing
the orchestra to Burnsville; also
high praise to Mrs. Don Burhoe,
Neighborhood Chairman for the
Scouts, who headed up the
whole thing.
A Mother’s
Prayer
By: Clara Cassida
Please Lord, take care of my
boy and help me to keep calm.
He’s far away in a land where
there is dying and war, they
call it Vietnam. He’s a good boy
Lord, and I love him so. I think
a part of my heart went with
him when I had to see him go.
I’m not sure Lord, that you and
he have met. If I knew the two
of you were acquainted there
would be no need to fret. He’s
in your hands Lord,and would
you send my prayer just like a
guided missile to him over
there.
