If you need t"
put you in a (’hristma- in -hI.
you should have been a’ the
hip'h school Monday nip'ht when
the band, directed by Mis- I.oi'
rairio Paris, gave its Christ
mas firogram. When the how
was over, I heard someone re
mark, " I didn't know there was
so much talent in the band!
They weren’t speak mo of tin
instrument playing they al
ready knew about that—they
were talking about the acting,
the narration, the singing by
individuals and groups of mem
hers of the band, the piano
playing of the accompanists,
and the dancing. Aside from
their excellence in playing and
marching, this band contain^
all the talent necc-sary for a
little theatre production.

calls it quits
The hoard of directors of the

organization plagued with con
troversary and conflicts since
its beginning in FJCM. has ask
ed that the program 'he abolish

The hoard announced Monday
that it voted FJ toll at a meet-

The anti-poverty program,
operated under the Federal Of
fice of Feoiiomic Opportunity,
has h- eii involved in internal
difficulties and heated rontro-

The minutes of the Thur.-day
meeting renoi t that the reason
for the act mn r< ipie -t ing the

that the project has not been
able to alleviate the problems
and needs of the noor in the

lack of cooperation from the
federal regional office at At

The Board' action included
a request that the component
agencies of Community Action,
Inc,, transferred to other spon

sponsoring agency for the
Neighborhood Youth Corps,
which has operated in Newberry
county two years.

funding ended Nov. 30. The
executive director of the pro
