Brevard Festival Musicians
Play in Natural Setting
VIRGINIA MacWATTERS,
By Alice Eversman

The Brevard Music Festival staged
its annual performance last week
end in the outdoor auditorium OF
the Pennsylvania Music School
Camp in Brevard. N. c. The fes-
tival this year consisted of three
concerts on Friday. Saturday and
Sunday of last week and the same
number of major programs this
week end. The 68-piece orchestra, di-
rected by James Christian Pfohl,
had a splendid array of soloists and
for the special concert for young
people yesterday afternoon. fea-
tured the 14-year-old violinist, Ray
mond Page, and the youthful harp
ist of the orchestra. Mary Masters.
Aside from its musical value, the
Brevard Festival is a monument to
the cooperative spirit OF music low
ers of North Carolina. The festival
is the first step in the planned estab-
lishment of summer music center
in the South and is the natural out
come of the success of the Music
Camp already Furnishing some years
in its mountain surrounded site. The
business world of Brevard and
neighboring cities have supported
the undertaking Fundamentally.
Expenses have way of being tact
fully taken care of as when the
elaborate booklets and programs for
the festival were printed free of
charge.
Expert Teachers on Staff.
Mr.. Pfohl, known locally through
his guest conducting of the Ma
tional Symphony at the Water Gate
last year, has stated the camp of
which he is director. with expert
teachers, many of whom form the
nucleus OF the festival orchestra.
While favoring the artist-musicians
of the South, it is his hope to gather
together the best talent available to
create an orchestra of first rank so
that the yearly festival will become
a mecca for music enthusiasts from
all over the country.
The three programs heard last
week showed an amazing finish and
artistry in their presentation. Mr..
Pfohl had his orchestra as q unit
only one week for the rehearsing of
such works as the Beethoven num-
bers forming the first concert on
Friday. August Is; the Dvorak New
World" symphony, Powell's hatcher
on-the- Hill and Bergsma's Paul
Bunyan Suite" on Saturday, August
is, and LISTS Les Preludes. !"
Brahms Variations on a Theme by
Haydn" and the Frescobaldi-K Kinder
"Toccata" for Sunday afternoon.
With this little time at his disposal,
he achieved polished results richly
embellished with colorful nuances
and remarkably diversified in style.
Use Converted Gymnasium.
The orchestra plays in the con-
verted gymnasium of the camp. The
roof of pine rises to a point and
spreads out few sloping feet on
each side to allow for drainage in
wet weather. The sides are open
and the stimulating breezes from
Mount Pisgah sweep refreshingly
over the audience. A raised stage
for the orchestra is at one end and
a slight elevation on three sides of
the hall might be named balcony.
The shed seats about 800, a modest
number with which to begin an am
bilious festival, but not one of those
seats was vacant. Near the concert
hour, cars converge on the single

governor, candidates would be

club from which colored people
would be excluded
If this plan Of Acknowledgement
succeeds in South Carolina, the first
southern state to resort to it, and
Georgia, other southern states are
bound to follow it. Certainly it is
more subtle than the use of violence
advocated by Theodore G. Bilbo in
Mississippi.
The Constitution provides that
no person shall be deprived of his
right to vote because of his race,
creed or color. If southern states
are not to be permitted to nullify
this constitutional provision, the
Congress should enact law pro-
yiding for federal supervision of
elections which concerns the choice
of Representatives, Senators. Presi-
dent and Vice President of the
United States.
Such a law need only provide
that the United States shall watch
over every stage of a federal cleo
ton to insure that every qualified
citizen shall have the right to
register, to vote and have that vote
counted.
Has the Congress the power to
enact such legislation? The neces-
sary power is found in Section 4,
Article l, of the Constitution, which
provides: The Times, Places and
Manner of holding elections for
Senators and Representatives shall
be prescribed in each State by the
Legislature thereof; but the Con-
gress may at any time by law make
or alter such regulations, except
as to the places of choosing Sena-
tors"
As to the interpretations of this
language, one need only look to the
Constitutional Convention itself.
James Madison, in the convention
on August s, 1887, said: The neces-
sity of a general government sup
noses that the state legislature will
certainly fail or refuse to consult
the common interest at the expense
of their local cOnveniences or
prejudices. The policy of referring
the appointment of the House of
Representatives to the people and
not to the legislatures Of the States
supposes that the results will be
somewhat influenced by the mode.
This view of the question seems to
decide that the legislatures Of the
States ought not to have the con-
trolling right of regulating the
times, places and manner Of holding
elections"
The United States Supreme
Court however, has not been silent
on this question. In the case Of
Ex parte Siebold, 100 L. S. 37l.
Justice Joseph P. Bradley, deliver
ing the opinion of the court, said

Scout Leader DeplOres
Bad Manners and
Glowing of "Hep- Cats

Editor: | happened to be a spec
tatOr at the First Aid Meet, which
was held by the Scouts of this Dis
trict in the gymnasium of the Hal
lie Q. Brown Community Center on
Tuesday evening, Feb. %. What /
saw there inspired me with the feel
ing that here were boys, who want
ed to amount to something, who
wanted to be of service to their
communities. That's why they were
there at this contest.
On the other hand as | sat there,
watching these Scouts go through
their demonstrations, | saw some
thing which was truly depIOrable.
| saw a large group Of our so
called Hep Cats" who consider
themselves definitely on the Hep"
side, making general nuisances of
themselves during the entire affair
They were crude individuals, who,
when asked to cease their noise, of
which there was plenty, to stop
running around and sit down,
ignored the requests, and continued
to clown and act as though no one
had even spoken to them.
If they had been Small" boys,
well. it wouldn't have been so bad.
but when they were a group of
considerably Older" boys, ranging
in ages from Is to 10 years, there
was absolutely no excuse for it.
As | said before, these fellows
considered themselves very Hep"
but to me and others present, they
appeared to be definitely Squares"
who ought to improve their boorish
manners, and stop embarrassing the
people of the community by their
actions.

Mr.. Cecil +. Newman,

Dear Mr.. Newman:
want TO compliment you on your
article in Publishers Corner in this
Fridays issue Of the paper, about
the newspaper carriers. 1t recalled
the days when | had a newspaper
route while ! was taking my pre-
paratory course, and also for a
while when I was in college before
and just after the turn Of the CEN
fury. | had some of the experiences
you mentioned.
While this is a great opportunity
for many thrifty boys and girls,
believe it is our duty to encourage
them in this thrift, and one way
to encourage them is to always
have the money ready when they
call for their pay, and to be pleas
ant with them.
have only admiration for the
young carrier who gets up in the
bitter coldness Of the morning and
delivers my paper that | can read
at the breakfast table. As you state,
it is a great training ground for
them, but it has its hardships, and
If we make things a little more
pleasant for them we will also get
satisfaction to ourselves.
Sincerely yours,

out of fire. Only those who choose
to go through the fiery furnace
have what it takes to give him the
gold-like quality which is accepted
in the courts Of those who live to

On all fronts we need a new lead

New Negro Wanted
COlumnist Durr Thinks
BY ROBERT DURR
THE Southern Viewpoint"

In certain city in the deep South
it is reported that during the past
four years colored physicians, for
the most part, made barrels Of
money. In that same city, white
physicians are said to have made
croaker sacks Of filthy lucre.
In this town, as in many others
Of the South, hundreds of mothers
lost their lives while in the valley
Of the shadow because they did not
have the proper prenatal care due
to their poverty stricken conditions.
So many white doctors were i'm
PEELED to deliver charity cases with
out a fee, in the local charity hos
pital, while colored doctors were aC-
cepting fees for delivery Of prob
lem cases at the maternity clinic
sustained by the United States
Public Health Service as a demon
stration project.
In every instance where profes-
sional whites move in to do service
without charge, there should be
colored professionals who are public
spirited and socially enlightened
enough to top that contribution
even at sacrifice. The degree to
which a man contributes Of his
means, himself, and skill without
regard to self-remuneTation de-
termines whether he is the equal Of
other men who make such contribu-
tons. In the area Of adventurous
free public service we need a whole
generation Of new colOred indi-
viduuls if we are to give birth to n
race Of people or segment Of one
world citizenship.
A soldier friend of mine return
ing from Europe tells of a young
colored soldier from the deep South
spying another colored soldier from
some part Of the British Empire as
he walked along with three white
British comrades. To the colored
Yank from Dixie the sight Of the
colored British-born soldier was a
sight for his sore eyes. He yells
to him, Hey Man" but the colored
Britisher refuses to recognize the
Dixie Yank.
He and his buddies enter a saloon
for a drink Of beer. Soon 1t is
discovered that the boy from down
behind where the sun goes down
in the deep South has followed the
group into the saloon and is butting
in on their conversation with
What do you say man-where are
you FRONT"
By this time the cOlored Brit
isher realized that he had better
take the situation in hand. He
turned to the pitiful boy, who was
so wOefulIy penaliEed by being
born black and in Dixie, and said
to him. Il am your color, but not
your kind" For the first time,
that cOlOred soldier realized that
he not only lived in a world Of
people Of varied eOlOrs but Of
