Slated For Sunday: ’Singing On The Mountain’ i r There has never been a “singing on the Mountain” like the one slated for next Sunday, June 27. The moun tain gospel singing conven tion, which had its beginnings in’austere simplicity 52 years agb, will in this Bicentennial yettr experience the most elaborate staging that Holly wood and show business can produce, and with a glittering array of stars headed by the internationally famous evan gelist Oral Roberts. ’ The Reverent Mr. Roberts prfeached at the 44th annual sing in 1968, and he will preach again in June 1976. This time, however, he will be video-taping one of his hour long television specials which will be shown in prime time in every television viewing area in' the ; United States. The sltbw is tentatively scheduled to 1 be aired the first week in September. Fred Luff, a member of the Society of Motion Picture f| ¥ouths At Boys State; Study State Government 4 Bill Fender, son of Mr. ahd Mrs. J.B. "Fender of ' Swiss, and Michael Moore, ' son of Mr. and Mrs. Scott 1 Moore of Burnsville, recently 1 attended Boys’ State at Wake 1 Forest University in Winston- ' Salem for a week of intensive study and hard work in governmental study. Boys’ Staters were spon sored by the American Legion Post of Yancey County and the American Legion also paid one-half the cost of tuition. Boy’s Staters were chosen from their school because of their good grades, interest, and leadership. They were chosen from several that had been nominated and were considered to be the best candidates. Bill and Michael left Burnsville on Sunday, June 13 and returned on Saturday, June 19. During this week they were subjected to many crammed-in hours of work and campaigning. Many days started at seven a.m. and ended at 10:30 p.m. with breaks only for meals and sports. Sometimes the meet ings carried on for many hours without a break. This was evident when party nominations were held one night. The meeting started at 7:00 p.m. and ended at 2:00 a.m. the next morning. But all in all it was much fun. ’ There were many speakers throughout the week but two of the most prominent were Secretary of State Thad Eure and Governor Jim Holshous- e f r. Mr. Eure invited all Boys’ Staters to attend with him at his next speech at Girls’ State, but none were allowed tb go. The Boys’ State program was a mock set up of North Carolina government with the boys filling all positions. Boys were not chosen for their offices but had to campaign ahd then get elected to their positions. • The week ended with a Banquet in Reynolds Hall with certificates, pins and special honors being given, lipys’ States Governor and Lt. Governor were sent to Boys’ Nation in Washington, D.C. for 3 more weeks of study. All MUFFLER SHOP lifetime Guarantee .

The big boulder is still the principal singing and preach ing rostrum, but Luff’s new stages will permit thousands more people to enjoy the program in person by being closer to where the action is. Oral Roberts will bring with him one of the nation’s best known country and western musical performers, who will appear at “Singing on the Mountain” for the purpose of being on the television show. Officials of tK sing have been requested not to mention the name of the star except in strictly local publicity, in order not to interfere with personal ap pearance contracts he has in boys were honored for attend ing and for their cooperation while on Wake Forest Cam pus. All boys were eager to return but sad to leave the many friends they had made hwile at Boys’ State. ■ Bill Fender and Michael HI Wm Michael Moore, Bill Fender I Certain-teed Fiber Glass Insulation for Your Attic!
