Matthews, was pastor of the Smyrna Pres byterian church for several years.) By Fred McGee Chapel Hill, N. C.—Students at the University of North Carolina laid aside their assort ed political and extra-curricular worries here recently to ac claim a young composer who wrote words and music for all 27 songs in the musical come dy, “Merrily We Love.” Frank (Jack) Matthews, grad uating music major from Hem ingway, S. C., took the campus by storm with his love songs, ballads and take-offs on opera. So great was his work acclaim ed that the first night of the musical paid all expenses on the show, the second night cancelled the debt of “Sound and Fury” (sponsoring theatri cal group), and the hird (hold over performance) netted enough to produce another musical. Not only that. The students applauded the performers at a downtown restaurant after the second night until they were forced to give encore after en core. Then the students took the songs into the streets sing ing the catchy words of “I Wanted to Sing at the Opera,” a comedy score written for the all girl chorus; “I wanted to sing at the opera, Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, tra-la-la. . . I could be charmin’ as Carmin; I could be gay with Bizet; I put my soul in a role nice and juicy—by Debussy; I’d put my heart in a part nice and wordy—by Verdi.” Based on a book by Forrest Covington, a junior from Wash ington, D. C., “Merrily We Love,” included songs written by Matthews when he was in grammar school. Although the 23-year-old composer has writ ten many original scores for various shows and radio pro ductions at the university, none was quite as important as this, his first full-length musical, since it brought his mother, Mrs. Curtis J. Matthews, and his sister June, a freshman at Queens College, Charlotte, to Chapel Hill. His father, a Presbyterian minister at Hemingway, was unable to attend due to illness in his congregation. Matthews has been credited by university writers as having written a song a week for ten years. “According to that,” he said, “I would have been work ed to death . . . However I have thrown away at least nine tenths of what I have written.” His sister June told Chapel Hill friends a different version: “Frank thinks he threw the songs away,” she said. “Mo ther rescues most of his work from the trash where he care lessly discards them.” Matthews, “I was reared the son of a Presbyterian minister,” was born in Columbus, Ga., and later moved to Newberry, S. C. where he was graduated from high school as valedictorian of his class. His first piano com position for public consump tion was written in Newberry for services in his father’s church. He studied for one quarter in 1943 at Presbyterian college in Clinton, S. C. and then joined the Marine Corps. Before serving as a corporal and a “plain ole rifleman” dur ing the invasion of Iwo Jima, he wrote music and produced shows for his unit. A quartet of bakers from his company afforded the composer one of his most unusual exper iences. He said that the bakers performed very well until a “batch of raisin jack got ripe” and the quartet had to crawl on the stage. He added “I never did know whch suffered the more—my music or the quartet.” Finally the Marines gave way to book learning, and Mat thews entertained the Univers ity of North Carolina. It was not long before th e composer took an active interest in cam pus affairs. He joined the Men’s Glee club, and “Sound and Fury” for which he wrote original music for “Weep No More” and “Gin Lane.” He performed in “The Bartered Bride,” and opera, was rehears al pianist for “The Mikado,” and for the University Dance Group. His music was used by the Carolina Playmakers’ pro duction, “Fashion,” by the Un iversity Hour radio show, and by various broadcasts originat ing in Chapel Hill. Besides his theatrical work, he aided in the success of the famous card stunts at Caro lina’s football gamesi, played intramural basketball, and ex changed piano lessons with Steve Osborne, Carolina swim ming star, for aquatic instruc tion. Matthews also finds time to win membership in Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Eta Sigma, highest scholastic societies at th e University. He was recent ly commended by the Order of the Grail for his work with SEEN ALONG THE ROADSIDE By J. M. Eleazer Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist Things I’d like to do: Furnish a large thirsty crowd all of the cold lemonade it could drink on a hot dry day. Get to the point with my fin ances that I could spend a dol lar occasionally without flinch ing. Find some others who would join me in going to church without a coat on when it’s hot. Have “mixed-bread” from the Dutch Fork to eat all the time, liver nips once a week, and chitterlings at least a few times a year. Have more time at home, since we built our new house. There is still so much to do there, and we all get such a kick out of it. If you were through a peach orchard section the past spring you likely noticed a lot of those funny looking trees that put out leaves so sparingly. They looked lik e a picked goose the card stunts. WIith graduation completed Matthews plans to work this summer in a Manteo, N. C. night club which will pay his expenses while he writes an other musical comedy and ex periments with opera, his chos en field. He plans to have the lyrics written for a new uni versity pep song by next fall; he composed the music a month ago. In the ball h e will return to the university where he will write his master’s thesis on “Choral Technique in Opera.” When asked how he manages all his curricular and extra cur ricular activities, the composer was emphatic, “I budget my time . . . but the budget never works.” —The State, June 19th. or old hen after the molt. Our orchard man, Roy Ferree, tells me that they didn’t get their winter rest. That’s the trouble. Rest is awful good. But I didn’t know that trees have it too. Roy tells me that they will often die if they don’t get enough cold weather to throw them into a proper dor mancy or rest period. And the past winter we didn’t have enough cold to take care of the needs of some varieties. And, if they don’t get that rest they won’t bear much either. Roy and those watch winter temperatures and they knew we were near the danger point for some varieties. Yes, some varieties require more rest than others, and the scientists have worked out just how many hours of rest are re quired by each. Gracious, that’s like folks! Some require little rest, while others need a lot. I’m in the latter class. Fifty cans and buckets of all sorts were in the hall at County Agent Lloyd’s office in Edgefield when I stopped by there the other day. Farm folks had brought them in to meet the truck from the New berry creamery. Checks ran as high as $15 each for the little surpluses of cream that came from the family cow or two. That has been going on for three years, Lloyd told me. Several other counties in that vicinity have similar arrange ments. They have had a pretty good season with truck cropps in the Low Country this year. Both prices and yields have been rather good. Those two things don’t usually come to gether. And the truckers need ed that bad, for last year was hard on them. Both yields and prices were rather disastrous then. But that’s the way with trucking, up and down. The wise trucker gets pretty adept at figuring things out so his ups will outweigh his downs. Otherwise he folds up. “Destroy confidence in farm ing and you put dynamite un der your cities. “You should all get agricul tural religion. If you don’t, you will go to agricultural hell pretty quickly. “Publicity is a great thing for the farmers..” Thus spoke Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, the daddy of Coopera tive Extxension Work, at Mem phis in 1910. And at the same time, you recall, the boll weevil was a rather far away threat to us. And he said at Memphis, “You can grow cotton in the South, boll weevil or no boll weevil.” “The progress of the world is the enslavement of machin ery. The man who is success ful will use more machinery and less men.” Now that was queer talk and rare vision to be spoken back there in 1910.. And about the same time, when the textile center of the nation was up East, he predic ted that the foothills of the Carolinas would grow into that position and do it rapidly. Quite a man was that Dr. Knapp. His eye dipped farther into the future than average eyes can see. And the better ment of agriculture through the demonstration method of teach ing has enriched this country, helped feed the world, and has been extended to a number of other countries who send their experts here to study it. The Guernsey center of the Southeast, Chester, is planning its third annual Guernsey Fes tival on Sept. 5-7, with their sale on the last day. For a long time Chester’s cattle were, ahead of its feed and grazing. But in recent years that has been on the mend. When Ralph Coursey was county agent there about 20 years ago, he started it with lespedeza. Then came Mtonroe Crane, who rode a grazing program to a fare-ye- well. And now Tom Stallworth their present agent, is a wheel- horse in their Guernsey festival and is adding great impetus to their year-around grazing program. I saw much fine grazing there in January, and milk production had not drop ped off during that season, as it had in the past. I have the pleasure of seeing you often now. On Saturdays I have a chat with you on the state network, “Voice of Clemson,” radio pro gram from 12:36 to 12:42 p.m. On Sundays I see you through the column “Seen Along The Roadside” in all of the morn ing dailies. And then on Thursdays we have another chat through “Farms and Folks” that appears in about three fourths of the afternoon weekly papeprs. And quite a few papers publish both columns. And about the most pleasure I get is in seeing so many of you as I prowl around over the state with the county agents and talk with groups here and there. Our agriculture is in the midst of great change. Change has always been under way. But now it is faster, far fast er, than usual. We talk about it here and on the radio, as we see it in our rounds. Machinery, and grass, and ir rigation, and clover, and trees, and grain sorghum, and soy beans, and livestock are words that carry new meaning in what’s happening on the farms now.. Experiment station, field demonstration, and farm ex perience are attuned to the task of change, and we are not groping.. We are one our way. We don’t have all. the answers yet, but the new things are finding their feet and helping make the old thnigs like cot ton and tobacco more secure. In all of this field of change I am permitted by Clemson to walk, observe, and then talk (Continued on page 8' Notice For Bids 'Office of Newberry County Board of Commissioners, Newberry, S. C.
