Joe Young Ford, Inc Burnsville. N.C. “The Fantasticks” is a musical comedy that will delight and entertain the entire family. It is filled with beautiful dialogue, memor able songs and music, fan tasy, and even slapstick comedy. This highly acclaim ed play, written by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, opened in New York in 1960, and is still playing there, • making it the longest running .musical in the world!

Before becoming head of Antioch College in 1920, Morgan was chief enginer of the Miami (Ohio) conserva tory district. There, he crea ted a network of dams to prevent another occurrence of the 1913 flood which claimed several hundred lives and destroyed some $100,000,000 in property in the Dayton, Ohio area. Morgan was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, June 30, 1878. He grew up in northern Minnesota. He left home at 19 and with only $1.50 he started a trip down the Mississippi River on a log raft. He spent three years at odd jobs in lowa, Nebraska and Colorado. He began his engineering career as a land surveyor with his father; and on his own, he studied hydraulic and water control engineering. In 1905, tricked into a romance by their parents who pretend a feud to make their children curious about each other. Realizing they have been tricked by their parents, the _ romance falls apart and the two set out in separate directions to see something of life. Their experiences make them wiser and the story takes another interesting turn at this point. Many of the songs from “The Fantasticks" will be familiar-“ Try To Remem ber.” “Much More*’, “Soon the Minnesota legislature adopted a drainage code drafted by the young en gineer. Morgan was supervising engineer in drainage investi gations for the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture from 1907 to !9io, when he formed the Morgan Engineering Co. He reclaimed more than 1,000,000 acres of land in the Mississippi Valley and after the Miami River flood in Ohio in 1913, took on the $30,000, 000 job of flood control there. His engineering work took him to many other states. For several years, Morgan maintained a residence in Yancey County, where his son, Ernest, now lives. 133 t Memorial Service will be held Tuesday, November 25 at 8 p.m. at Arthur Morgan School in Celo.

This is Burnsville Little Theatre’s first musicaj and it promisesTTo be one 'of their brightest and most entertain ing productions yet. Much credit goes to director Bill Wilson, artist in residence at Mayland Tech, who recently directed “Godspell” there. Superb casting, along with the excellent job done by music director Sue Koch and choreographers Carmela Mandala and Kim Robertson, guarantee a fine production. Musicians will bb Billy Gouge, pianist and Joel Robertson, strings and per cussion. The cast includes Maria Mandala, a student at East Yancey as Luisa; Chris Baucom, a student at Harris High as Matt; John David Stewart, pastor of the Presb terian Church in Micaville as Bellamy; Martha Westall, a student at East Yancey as Ms. Hucklebee; Michael McAu liffe, a Yancey County resi dent and Vice-President of Burnsville Little THeatre as El Gallo-the narrator; Patrick Hardy, pastor of the Presby terian Church in Burnsville plays Henry, an aging and comical actor; and Tommy Carr, a student at East Yancey plays his assistant. Kim Robertson performs a mime ballet in the production. A casting problem gave an interesting twist to this particular presentation of The Fantasticks. The script called for two fathers, but when one of the actors cast as Huckle bee had to leave the play and another male actor could not be found for the part, director Bill Wilson changed the role to “Ms.” Hucklebee and cast Martha Westall as the young boy’s mother. The result has been most pleasing and the casting change hints at a second romantic story line involving the parents.

In fact, it’s a widely known fact that much memory loss and confusion can be caused by depression, illness or environmental stress. When treated, the patient usually perks up mental ly.

Os the 60 research and education projects at North Carolina State University that farmers are aiding through their Nickels for Know-How program many are designed to lower farm production cost. Glenn Presnell, chairman of the Yancey Nickels fqr Know-How Referendum, said that past experience shovris that lower farm production costs are usually passed on lb consumers. An example of cost-cutting research is the feeding studies being done with begs cattle. The goal is to use mode low-cost forages and rough ages and less high-cost grain in feeding cattle. Among the pests being studied are mosquitos, alfalfa weevils, viruses on ladifta clover, tobacco horntforms, spider mites, soybean steii borers, grape root borers, sicklepod in soybeans, and the fungi that cause Southern Com Blight, black rot in peanuts and root rot in apples. Collectively, these pests cost farmers millions oi dollars annually, which drives up the price of food. Presnell reported that the Nickels for Know-How pro gram in contributing about $170,000 annually to these research projects at NCSU, The money is collected through a nickel per to: assessment on feed an< fertilizer sold in the state. The program is voluntary and every six years the user: of feed and fertilizer are givet an opportunity to vote oi whether they wish to continut the assessment.
