is six or eight feet apart. For
field culture, the plants are placed
about ten feet apart on trellis rows

to revive carol singing at Christ
mas-time, to Undue this and all
communities with the true spirit
OF Christmas.
Most of these groups were or
ganized especially to sing here
this year. In each community
the choir directors not only have
trained their singers, but
they've also had to 90 about the
countryside and recruit singers
from all walks of life. There are
few trained voices in the groups
but those who've heard the pre-
liminary sings have acclaimed
them all.
The Warsaw Baptist Church
choir, under the leadership of
Mrs. Clarence J. Brown, NAV
be said to be the only trained
group which is participating in
the carol series.
At Long Creek, Mrs. B. J.
Brady as director, is using some
members of the school glee club
to sing with adult members of
the community. This is also true
at Franklin school, where Mrs.
Rob Murphy is director, at Chin
quapin, with Miss Eugenia
Quinn directing, and at Burgaw

sic for the First Presbyterian
church, Wilmington, and direc-
tor of the mems and women's

Will be assisted by Mrs. Laura

ing, all carol groups will COM
blne and, under the directorship
of Mr.. Clark, lead all those
present at the sing in one huge
medley of Christmas numbers.
Each of the choirs named
already has appeared on the
pine straw strewn stage under
Wallace's Christmas Tree
These have been preliminary
sings to accustom the groups to
singing outdoors.
AT least, that's the technical
reason for those preliminary
sings. Actually, the choirs got
together here in a grand effort
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-12-21

In Wallace, where Mrs. w. H.
Farrior, Mrs. Clifton Knowles
and Miss Iris Herring are choir
leaders, the group was recruit
ed from several singing sources.
Charity, directed by Mrs.
Dixon Wood, is a community
choir composed mostly of adults
from the several church denom-
nations.
Calypso, with Mrs. George AL
britton in the lead, is made up
of townspeople. And Magnolia,
led by Mrs. I. F. Pope, is
sort of town project.
Tomorrow night is the finale
so far as this Christmas season
is concerned, but the sings have
attracted so much favorable
notice here, and the group lead
ers have said they derived so
much pleasure from their ef-
forts, the carol singing very
likely will become an annual
part of Wallace's yearly Christ
mas Festival.
Next year, it is hoped, other
communities will join in the
sings so that every section in
Southeastern North Carolina
will be represented under
Wallace's Living Christmas
Tree, their communal voices
raising in the familiar, and
glorious, songs of old.
