MM Begins Third Season
Music in the Mountains opens
its third festival season with a
concert on Sunday, June 25
in the Presbyterian Church,
Burnsville.
The festival began just two
years ago as a dream of Eve
Lynne Reeve and a few house
concerts given by herself and
friends. This has grown into
a popular Sunday series of five
summer concerts in Burnsville,
and for the first time this year,
a Thursday evening series of
four concerts in the Mars Hill
College Amphitheatre. The
performers now are a group of
thirteen artists who have ga
thered here from all over the
United States.
The featured artist for the
first concert is Ruth Geiger. A
native of Vienna, she received
her* early training in Europe.
At the age of fifteen she came
to the United States and con -
tinued her studies in New York.
Since that time she has distin
guished herself both here and
abroad.
She is a winner of the Naum
berg Award, a finalist in the
Rachmaninoff contest and has
won the hearts of audiences
everywhere for her sensitive
and dazzling performances.

that environment always has the

those forms best fitted to endure.
But what if nothing can endure
in bur modem man-made con

fessor Paul B. Sears, of Yale
University, discusses this prob
lem, and many more, in his
book entitled The Living Land
scape.
The author declares that man
kind is faced today with two
grave problems—overpopulation
and the consequent demand for
space. In the past the increase
of human numbers was relieved
by the three dread horsemens
hunger, disease, and war. These
ancient controls were effective
for a while, but since the dis

population has multiplied five-v
fold, thanks to improvements in
modem medicine, agriculture,
and transportation. Even grant
ing that starvation and disease
can be averted, the rcaß-TSSuc
is not how many can survive,but
what kind of existence will be
possible if they do. T ,
Man has fouled his nest, Pro
fessor Sears states, by breaking
the rules of the game. Much of
Western thought to the contra
ry, man is inseparably a part
of the living landscape, its des
tiny bound up with his. For too
long he lias looked upon ecology
as a passing fad. It is only
when disaster strikes that he is
reminded of the inevitable fact
that he is still a part of the na
tural
So, the author concludes that
if man is to survive, he would
do well to follow nature's spen
did example. Throughout the
ages she has been both construc
tive and self-repairing, living
within her current budgets of
energy from the sun, of mater
ials from earth and air, using
and re-using them through the
generations. Moreover, man
must come to terms with his en
vironment— or face the conse -
quences.

This group of patterns
have two to six main
pieces, plus facings, the
specialist observes.
A few of the fast sew
ing techniques you’ 11 find
in these special patterns
are: elastic casing
waistlines, rather than
zipper and straight
waistband, and edge
finishes made by simply
turning under seam
allowance and top
stitching.
