When a Yancey County Boy
“makes good”, we all feel a
glow of pride and a feeling of
accomplishment.
Arr.cng the many boys and
girls from Yancey County who
have made their- mark in the
world is Rev. Lloyd R. Bailey,
son of Glen Bailey of Bailey
Branch.
Llcyd was one of four recipi
ents of the degree Doctor of
Philosophy at the 83rd Ordina
tion and Graduation Exercises
of the Hebrew Union College-
Jewish Institute of Religion
held June 3, at the Isaac M.
Wise Temple, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Dr. Bailey, who received the
degree in the area of Hebrew
and Cognate Studies, had been
the Dr. David Lefkowitz Inter
faith Fellow for the duration of
the five year degree program,
with a year of study under a
National Defense Foreign Lan
guage Fellowship, in the field of
Arabic, at the Hebrew Union
College Biblical and Archaeolo
gical School in Jerusalem, Is
rael. Prior to the present de
gree program, he had received
the degree B. A. from Duke
University, and B. D. from Duke
Divinity School.
For the coming academic
year, Dr. Bailey will be Visiting
Instructor of Old Testament at
U Union Theological Seminary,
New York City.
In a letter to Mrs. W. P. Hon
eycutt, expressing appreciation
to the WSCS of Boring Chapel
for a gift, Lloyd states, “We
will be heme for a few days in
July, following which we will
leave for my teaching aopoint
ment in New York City. We will
be at Union Theological Semi
nary, Broadway at 12th, New
York (right in the middle of
Manhattan). That’s quite a ways
from Bailey Branch (distance
and otherwise), I can tell you.
Despite the smog and violence,
it will be a great opportunity,

With the announcement that
season tickets are on sale for
the 1967 summer season at the
Burnsville theatre, Parkway
Playhouse activity picks up
speed and heads for the July
18th arrival of students and
staff.
The Men’s Club of Burnsville
will again be in charge of tick
et sales. Tickets may be secur
ed from club members and will
also be available at the Cham
ber of Commerce, the Nu-Wray
Inn, and at Pollard’s Drug store.
The season ticket is actually a
bargain ticket and may be bou
ght at a 30% discount from the
regular admission price. It gives
the owner five admissions on
one ticket, to be used all in one
evening, if desired, or any num
ber of admissions at any one
performance. There is also a bar
gain ticket for young people of
high school age and under, at
half the adult price.
All seats for Playhouse pro
ductions are on a reserved
basis. Owners of the bargain
tickets present their tickets at
the box office window f ~r tb«'r
reserved seats, when they will
be punched for the correct num
ber of admissions.
Last year 265 season tickets
were sold. It is hoped to surpass
this number this year, with a
goal of 300 tickets set, in order
to make a successful year and
ccme out in the black. Pre-sea
son sales always help to reas
sure a theatre group, indicating
that the public is behind the
group and that the season is on
the way to success before it
begins.
Ralph Kerns, Managing Direc
tor of Parkway, has been occu
pied since his arrival on June
17th with pre-season planning
and other business activity. He
spoke briefly at Monday’s Men’s
Club meeting about the program
this summer and passed out
schedule cards which are also
available now.
Parkway’s first play will be
POOLS PARADISE, by Philip
King, author of last year’s op
ener, SEE HOW THEY RUN.
Many of the same characters
are in this successor to last
year’s hilarious farce. Kerns
will direct, and announces that
four of last year’rl cast will be
returning to play the same roles.
A special, invited audience will
see this comedy on July 27. It
will also play to the general
public on July 28, 29, 31 and
August 1.
Second play of the series is
ANGEL STREET, the myste-y
which became the successful
movie, GASLIGHT with Charles
Boyer and Ingrid Bergman.
Lauren K. Woods of Monmouth
College, N. J., returning for his
fifth year with Parkway, will
direct this thriller, to be given
Aug. 4. 5. 7, 8.
Then comes a delightful, hu
man comedy, EVERYBODY
LOVES OPAL, and you'll love
her too. Her friendliness, kind
ness and affection overcome
