sented by Cynthia Etter, a
student of Jesus Silva at the
School of the Arts.
While the trombone is
associated by many of us with
band music and jazz, it will be
interesting to hear this
instrument in recital. Derived
from an ancient instrument,
the sackbut, it has survived'
since the Renaissance in its
present form, virtually with
out change.
The opportunity to hear
trombone, piano, and guitar
in concert on March 22nd is
expected to draw a good
audience of students as well
as the growing corps of
chamber music enthusiasts.

Escort of the elderly for health
needs, and Special Safety
Measures within homes of
older persons who may need
ramps, rails, or other precau
tionery arrangements. In ad
dition, some isolated older
persons will have telephones
installed in their homes so
that they can call out for help
when needed and can chat
with friends or relatives
within the County. Such a
life-line will prevent loneli
ness for persons who have few
chances to visit.
The new Project Director
for these services is Susannah
Jones. Her work with Music
in the Mountains and with the
Yancey County Health De
partment has acquainted her
with a broad range of both the
resources and the needs
within Yancey County. Hired
as Coordinator of the Project
is Jeannette Van ’Patten,
whose concern for the elderly
has been evidenced in hours
Some of the topics on which
he has spoken are: “Sacred
MRdendar of Israel.” “The
Crisis in the Middle East and
the Prophetic Word,” “Israel
Reborn,” "The Peace of
Jerusalem,” and “The Prince
of Peace.”
We invite our many
friends and neighbors to come
on Friday and Saturday night
and to both services on
Sunday.
