Mountain Ballads,
Folk Songs Heard
Greers Interpret Music In
Rotarian Program

Hendcrsonville Rotarians, their
wives, and number of guests
heard an Interpretation of noun
tain folk songs and ballads by |,
c. Greer, superintendent of the
Baptist orphanagc, at Thomas
vile, at the meeting Of the club
yesterday. Mr.. Greer was assist
ed by Mrs. Greer, who accompan-
led him on the piano and dulcima.
Mr.. Greer was formerly an in
structor at Appalachian State
Teachers college, at Boone, and
has devoted much time to the
study of mountain songs. He has
collected over 800 folk songs and
ballads of the mountains. He sang
number of these songs.
Mr.. Greer pointed out that DR.,
c. Alfonzo Smith once predicted
that ballads and folk music of the
mountains would be studied as
literature. A ballad. he said, Is
a story set to music, and must
tell the entire story with simple
musical air. Most ballads are
tragic. In contrast to the third
person of the ballad, the folk
song is in the first person and Is
usually humorous.
Miss Kate Dotson, club pianist,
had as a special guest of the CLUB
Mrs. George Metcalf, formerly
Miss Virginia Stoddard, daughter
of w. L. Stoddard, well-known
New York hotel architect and 10

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 2l.-
(UP)-A lengthy opinion handed
down here yesterday by special
thrce-judge tribunal on motor
truck hearing a month ago held
that a South Carolina law limit
ing sizes and weights of motor
trucks in interstate commerce is
"an unreasonable burden" on in
tcrstate commerce on certain
state highways, the hard-surfaced
ones.
The motor truck operators were
granted a permanent injunction
by the court enjoining the state
from enforcing its law on stand
ard concrete and asphalt paved
roads. Thus, trucks exceeding
10000 pounds in weight and 80
inches in width, can operate on
certain roads.
The action was begun by Barn
well Brothers, of Charlotte, n. O.,
and other trucking companies,
with the state highway depart
ment named the defendant.
The outcome was considered a
victory for the truckers.
1t required almost an hour 1or
