Dance and Folk Festival, which

According to ■ Johnnie Crooke,
the man in charge of the smooth
dancers and the high kicking
doggers, an exceptional array
of dancing talent will be on hand.
Ten teams will be dancing in
competition for the giant Luns
ford and Pless Cups which stand
as impressive evidence for twel
ve months that their holders are
“best in the mountains.”
Crooke also announced that
festival audiences will be treat

ing exhibition groups.
Taking aim at the smooth
dancing crown, which the Katy-

Hominy Valley, the Kenilworth
Square Dancers from Asheville,

the defending champions and
two-time title holders, the Still
House Creek Cloggers from
Henderson County.
Among these will be James
Hyatt’s Waynesville Mountain
eers from Haywood County, col
‘ rful exponents of the tradition
al shuffling mountain clog first
developed by dancers from that
section of the highlands.
Competition in the clogging
category will be exceptionally
keen this year, Crooke indicat
ed with the added presence of
the t arolina Sweethearts from
Murphy and the Robertson “Y”
(.'loggers from Canton.

THE YANCEY RECORD
Washington, D. C.
At Bascom Lamar Lunsford’s
40th festival, visitors will see
square dancing with a unique
quality. Unlike Western stvle
square dancing, where the caller
works separately from the dan
cers, the mountain caller directs
his team members by singing
out his calls as he dances; while
the dancers themselves form
their figures from swift moving
graceful circles.
It is the clog style square dan
cing which is unique to the Sou
thern Highlands. The clog of old
England is in it, as is a touch of
the stomp of the Cherokee na
tion. The result is a highly co
ordinated and intricate team
dancing that tests the rhythm
and agility a of the young, while
it sends the excitement level of
the audience climbing.
Sportsmen Most
File Request
For Hont
RALEIGH, N. C. The North
Carolina Wildlife Resources
C mmission today announced
that landowners and sportsmen
wishing to recommend either
sex deer hunts in their localities
must fi’e requests with the Com
mission before August 1. Such
hunts will again be allowed in
areas of high deer population on
the basis of local requests.
Frank B. Barick, Chief of the
Wildlife Commission’s Division
of Game said that “upon receipt
cf requests the Commission will
investigate local stations to de
termine whether deer populations
warrant the taking of anterdess
deer.” If this is found to be the
case a public hearing will be
held near the area being propos
ed to determine local sentiment
in regard to the proposal. Such
hearings will be held during the
week of August 28. Results of
the hearings and other Findings
will then be considered by the
Commission and approved areas
and dates will be announced dur
ing the week of September 25.
Either sex deer hunts for gun
hunters will be scheduled during
the month of December. As in
the past, bow and arrow hunters
mav take anterless deer on such
areas during the last six days of
their pre-gun season.
Taylor Calls
For Rador
Installation
WASHINGTON - U. S. Rep.
Roy A. Taylor has called for the
installation of radar at Asheville
Airport.
"Radar would have prevented
the recent tragic air collision
near Hendersonville,” Taylor
said in a statement presented
Tuesday on the floor of the
House of Representatives.
Os 5547 U. S. airports served
by scheduled, commerda 1 air-
Fnes, only 113 have radar. Ashe
ville and 433 other medium or
small airports do not have it.
To install radar at each of
them would cost an
5900 million, he said.
J The people of this nation are
entitled to have airline flights
made as safe as possible,” ha
declared.
“Immediate consideration
should be given by the Federal
Aviation Agency by Congress to
the installation of surveillance
radar at Asheville Airport and at
similar airports in our country,”
Rep. Taydor said.
“The threat of mid-air collis
ion is increasing each day. More
and more commercial and pri
vate aircraft are crowding air
lines, often causing them to be
as hazardous as crowded high
ways,” he said.
Taylor acknowledged that in
stallation of radar systems would
be costly, bur observed, “tragic
accidents such as the one at
cost more than
money.” .
