Mcmillan Says Symphony To Pay
Big Dividends In Welfare OF State

Inc expansion program of the
Nortn Carolina Symphony orches-
tra is sound and cont -ibutions to
IT will be returned tenfold as an
investment in the welfare of the
state says R. L. Mcmillan of
halelgh, p r ointment attorney and
FORMER state commander of the
American Legion. who is serving
as state chairman of the expansion
campaign for the symphony now
under way.
when I heard the orchestra
play in Raleigh last April, l felt
very proud that we have a must
cal organization like this in our
state, Chairman Mcmillan said.
The symphony has made plans
to expand its services over the
state in a 20-week season of con.
certs to train children to under
stand and love symphony music,
to broadcast frequently over the
radio, and to train North Carolina
musical talent. I have studied
these plans as 1ayman and a
lawyer, and I am convinced that
these plans are practical in every
way.
$50 I was glad to accept the
state Craftsmanship of committee,
appointed by Governor Cherry, to
seek public support and public do
nations to Symphony fund in all
parts of the state'.
Chairman Mcmillan pointed out
that through this committee, in
each of the IL districts into which
the state has been divided, the
Symphony Society is seeking sup
port of two kinds - an adequate
amount of money and member
ships in the Society.
Each person who contributes to
the Symphony Society enrolls as a
member, he explained. He re-
ceives membership card which
not only entities him to attend
any concert by the orchestra, but
also invites him to attend meet
ings of the society, vote, help elect
the governing board, and in other
ways participate in making the
society what he would like it to
be.
ct should like to think that most
people who are now contributing
and who will contribute as our
campaign and it's purposes become
we'll known are doing more than
purchasing tickets to fine concerts.
/ should like to think that they
are contributing to an important
part of the life Of North Carolina.
1.-THE plan is sound. Whatever is
contributed will come back dou'
bled, tripled., or tenfold, in the well
fare of the state. The development
of North Carolina musicians, the
spread of the understanding and
love of good music, will help give
our children, ourselves, our homes,
and our communities vitality and
continued inspiration that money
alone cannot buy"

'FoxhoIe in the ParIor

There is no use bilking the ques'

that comes over the radio, you will
be tempted to hire Dale Carnegie

no one gave better advice than
General Eisenhower:
Press: With tens OF thousands
of your men going across the coun-
try to the Pacific in the next few
months, have you any tip you would
like to give the home folks about
what we can give them?
General Eisenhower: THE only
thing is, for goodness sake, don't
psychoanalyze them. They are per-
fectly normal human beings. They
have been through a lot and very
naturally they want pat on the
back and they want to be told they
are pretty good fellows and they
are. But they want to be treated
Just like they were treated when
they went away"
And to that | want to add the
play, "Foxhole in the Parlor" which
deals with the problem Of a soldier

went through hell a number OF
times and returned a different and
frightening human being. But,
and that is the point, perfectly

wish every parent and wife and
sweetheart OF a returning soldier
would go to see that play, because
they must realize that this soldier
is normal as their kin will be
normal. Different. OF course. For
who could go through the clanor

and even years without being a

sense that values are different.
