Music to benefit
Baker Falls fund
A nine-hour benefit featuring
cight top bands from the area, plus
bake sales, concessions and display
booths from several agencies in the
county will be held Saturday at
Barnes Auditorium.
Proceeds will be used to help de-
fray increasing medical costs for
15-year-old Baker Falls, diagnosed
with Aplastic Anemia and also for

Sarah Falls and grandson of David
and Lillian Smith and Vada Falls.
A patient at Duke Medical Center,
he is presently undergoing experi-
mental treatments for the disease
and must receive several blood
transfusions weekly. The National
Bone Marrow Registry is presently
searching for a compatible donor
for a transplant for Baker which
would be performed in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
Saturday's event will kick off at
1:30 p.m. with gospel, rock and
roll, beach music, country, oldies
and top 40 music. Mark Blanton,
manager of "Mink," says the pro-
gram will include a variety of tal-
ent and entertainment for the whole
family plus lots of good food and
special amusement for the kids.
Blanton said other groups on the
program will be "Sweet
Ambitions," "No Regrets," "Iron
City Band," "White Trash,"
"Sounds of Praise," "New
Direction," and "Three Speed."

vidual or group wishing to con-
tribute time, items or money

workshops to study with people she had met through
books and liked their style of work. These included
Abbe Rose Cox, Zoltan Szabo, Ruth Ogle, Mary
Goslen Carole Barnes, Edgar Whitney, Katherine Liu
and several others through the years since that initial
meeting with a paint brush.
When the Snows returned to the homeplace where
she grew up, they opened a gallery and frame shop
there. They still go out several times a year to art
shows in many parts of the United States, especially
in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area, and through the
years she has had customers from many parts of the
world. Her pieces are included in the collections of
many companies and private collections and she had
held 10 one woman shows and won several first and
second place awards for her work.
The Snows were instrumental in founding
Southern Art Society in 1984 and that organization
gives $4,250 worth of college scholarships annually.
The Snows interview the applicants, along with a se-
lection committee from the organization. An art cal-
endar is painted by 13 members of the society and
each page is printed and handscreened in the base-
ment of the Snow home, a tedious project when you
compute 13 pages of the calendar, one for each
month plus the front cover times 450 which is the to-
tal amount of calendars they distribute and use the
funds for the scholarships. at ol

called. "I really can't draw but I splash on color and
find that using too much detail isn't good."
Color is very important to the artist and she tries
many combinations, painting in whatever medium
she needs to get the results, mixing them in the same
painting and using watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, ca-
sein, gouache, silk screenings, collage and any of the
products she likes. Her works are also as varied as
the different media she used, because to her, each day
is a new challenge and new thoughts require different
approaches. :
Artist of the Month for July at Eden Public
Library, Snow's works will be exhibited July 2-July
30 in a program funded by Grassroots Grant from the
N. C. Arts Council, a state agency.
The Snows are parents of three children, Linda
Hofacker of Lexington, Ky., Dick Snow of Efland
and Jerre Snow of Kings Mountain.
Saturday the Snows attended the reunion of the
Classes of 1940-41 of KM High School at Holiday
Inn. Mrs. Snow graduated from the Class of 1940,
the last 11th grade to graduate at KMHS, and re-
turned to school to graduate with the 12th grade in
the Class of 1941. "I was not 16 and too young to get
in Woman's College so that was one reason I went
back to school another year, said Snow, who said she
was pleased to see members of both classes at the re-
union.
The family is also active in First Presbyterian
Church and A. B. sings in the choir. She is also a
member of the Thursday Afternoon Book Club,
