Mt. Mitchell Crafts Fair Draws Crowd On Saturday In Spite Os Downpour
Crafts Fair Has Successful
W eekend Despite Rbiii Storni
Rain showers came on
Friday and there were torrents
of rain on Saturday, but the Mt.
Mitchell Crafts Fair continued
as craftsmen sheltered their
wares and onlookers walked
through the rain to help make
the Fair successful in spite of
the disagreeable weather.
On Friday, craft sales got off
to a lively start. Among the craft
attractions was the making of
apple butter by Bertha and
Charlie Byrd of Green Moun
tain. The hot dogs, buttered
corn-on-the-cob and the smoked
trout all attracted the fair-goers
and satisfied their hunger on
Friday. As usual, the prepara
tions were made for the chicken
barbecue early Saturday morn
ing, and the first chickens began
to sell before noon to people
who patiently waited in line in
the rain to get this special fare.
The rain continued on
through Saturday afternoon, but
there was always quite a
number of people on the Town
Square looking and buying.
When the Fair closed, even
though people were wet and
more than ready to go home, it
was felt that the event had been
worthwhile and successful.
The Yancey Youth Jamboree
was staged on Thursday and
Friday nights at East Yancey
High School. During both
nights, a number of young
people performed in competi
tion and exhibition. Attendance
was good and interest was keen
as the folk music, singing, and
dancing was presented by the
talented youth. Added attrac
tions this year were the
appearance of Tina t anks, 1974
Junior Rhododendron Queen;
Luanne Banks, 1973 Miss
Mayland; and the Toe River
Valley Cloggers, directed by
Mrs. Jane Brown and Mrs.
Barbara Ford from Mitchell
County.
At the end of the program on
Friday night, trophies were

NW Bank
Robbed
The Spruce Pine
Branch of The North
western Bank was robbed
by two armed bandits on
Tuesday morning at 9:15.
The men, who wore
stockings as masks for the
holdup, apparently aban
doned a 1968 or ’69
Mustang following their
escape. A roadblock was
immediately set up to
prevent the bank robbers'
escape, but by press time
it had met with no
success. However, ail law
enforcement agencies
were cooperating in an
intensive effort to appre
hend the criminals.

Hit Phones
Some of our customers have
experienced extended telephone
service interruptions due to
what is believed to be intention
al and willful destruction of
Western Carolina Telephone
Company service facilities, it
was reported today by Turner
Rogers, Company Vice Presi
dent.
The frequency of cable cuts
or damage by firearms is of such
magnitude that the Company
has found it necessary to initiate
sm!.*x security measures. Mr.
Rogers said that as an example,
the Weaverville Business Office
building was entered illegally
through the basement during
early evening hours on August 1
and all communications were
knocked out for an extended
period of time. The long
distance facilities serving the
Burnsville and Micaville area
were out of service from
approximately 10:30 p.m. on
August 1 and service was not
restored until late afternoon on
August 2. Cause, Rogers said,
was due to gun shots into the
cable.
We are very concerned since
the persons involved do not
seem to realize that such willful
acts endanger the very life and
property of telephone customers
who rely on communications
due to illness or accidents. We
fear the consequences to a

Final Playhouse Production
By Cary Easley
For the final production of
Parkway Playhouse’s 28th sea
son they have picked a real
winner, the beloved My Fair
Lady. Rounding out what has
been a marvelous season with
the hilarious Tom Jones, the
poignant Picnic, the thrilling
Night Watch, the charming Ah,
Wilderness!, and the zany
Arsenic And Old Lace, My Fair
Lady is a tuneful, intelligent,
witty, and beautiful musical.
Generally considered one of the
best musicals ever written, My
Fair Lady gets the first-class,
first-team treatment by the
Parkway troupers.
Veteran Parkway director
Lauren K. Woods is at the helm
and brings his usual expertise to
the production. What he deli
vers is a fine package of
entertainment for the entire
family. He has also cat My Fab-
Lady flawlessly out of what is a
very talented company. Jo Anne
Aceto plays Eliza Doolittle, the
guttersnipe who is turned into a
lady. Miss Aceto sings, dances,
and acts with great style in what
is one of the most engaging
performances seen at the
Playhouse this season. She is
especially charming in the
numbers “Wouldn’t It Be
Loverly?” and “Show Me” and
in several scenes where she is
taught to speak the proper
English. As the cold-hearted
speech professor Henry Hig
gins, Doug Preis is excellent.
He and Miss Aceto work well
together and he gives an
especially effective rendition of
“I’ve Grown Accustomed To
Her Face” and is charming
performing “I’m An Ordinary
Man” and “A Hymn To Him”.
Scene-stealing his way
through the evening is David
Hart as Eliza’s father Alfred P.
Doolittle who is hilarious sing
ing “With a Little Bit of Luck”
and “Get Me to the Chqrch”.
Jonathan Jones plays '< Col.
Pickering, Higgins’ friend and
sings “You Did It” and joins in
the merriment of “The Rain in
Spain”, one of the show
stopping numbers. Jones is fine

as are several supporting
performers, most notably Sher
ry Akselrod as Mrs. Pearce,
Mary Ellen Roberts who is
lovely as Mrs. Higgins, Jerry
Longe and Pete McMahon as
Doolittle’s buddies, Jim Fisher
as the slimey Zoltan Karpathy
and one of the best singing and
dancing ensembles seen at the
Playhouse in years. Also, a
particular standout is John
Fahnestock as Freddy Eynsford-
Hill singing the glorious “On
the Street Where You Live”.
The ensemble numbers like
“Get Me to the Church on
Time”, “The Ascot Gavotte”,
and “The Embassy Waltz” are
marvelous and much of the
credit for goes to Sue
Atherton, Parkway’s choreo
In their hometown, but at the many churches where they have
appeared. In addition to their witness at home where they sing each §
Sunday night, they often appear in guest performances at various
churches, sing at campground areas, beaches, etc. Mrs. David
Lauen, an accomplished pianist, is accompanying the choir this year
on tour. The public Is Invited to attend this special choral worship
hour this Sunday, August 11 at the 11:00 a.m. worship service.

grapher. The dances do much to
convey the spirit of the
production and help to make My
Fair Lady the joyous production
that it is. Also aiding the polish
of the production are musical
directors Charlie Boone and Sue
Hensley who conduct the
orchestra and coach the singers
with great skill.
The high points In My Fak
Lady mount up with the lovely
settings by Stephen Edelstein,
the very attractive lighting by
Michael Castania, and the
beautiful costumes by D. R.
Edwards, Larry Alford and
Ellen Woods.
All in all, My Fair Lady is a
complete joy and a perfect finish
to an exciting season at Parkway
Playhouse.
