Aug. 6. Folk Festivals Are Encouraged The Folk Lore Committee of the West Virginia Centennial in 1963 plans to sponsor folk festivals now established, including the one being held in Beckley, and to, in addition, plan new festivals in other parts of the state including Glenvilie, Logan Fairmont, Cedar Lakes, and Richwood. In an effort to tell the story of West Virginia's development through tracing the traditional culture of its people, the committee also offered its assistance in 1963 to other festivals and activities already established, naming the Strawberry Festival, Black Walnut Festival, Forest Festival, Buckwheat Festival and Cornstock's "Past 80" party.

IN TRAINING Howard N. Lilly, son of Mrs. released at p.m. 'We all know that the richness of the folk lore of the people of any region is one index to their culture and character. Folk lore traces their spiritual history.

Indeed, as we look back through a century of the life of our State, we discover that the best way to reveal the character of a vast number of our people is through their folk lore. "It seems to me that our task is to use every possible means to make people aware of our traditions, through festivals of various kinds, exhibits, and through television, radio, and the press to the end that we may establish a respected image- of the people of West Virginia." Dr. Gainer, at a recent meeting of the committee, appointed a sub-committee to look into the possibility of publishing a small songbook of West Virginia songs. The next meeting of the committee will be held in Beckley Saturday at the El Chico Restaurant.

These are among the findings of the New York Stock Exchange's recently released 1962 Census of Shareowners, which determined that U. S. shareownership reached a new high of 17 million this year. Statistics for West Virginia announced by Exchange President Keith Junston, show that: Wheeling and the bi-state metropolitan area comprised of Ohio and Marshall Counties (W. Va.) and Belmont County (Ohio) have some 2,500 shareowners.

The incidence of shareownership for the Wheeling area is one in 9. Charleston and the metropolitan area comprised of Kanawha County have some 16,500 share- owners, or 16 per cent of the state's total. Charleston accounts for 10,500 of these, or 15 per cent of the state total. The incidence of shareownership for Charleston is one in 8, and for the metropolitan area, one in 15. The Huntington-Ashland tri-state area comprised of Cabell and Wayne Counties (W.

Va.) Boyd County (Ky.) and Lawrence County (Ohio) have some 13,500 share- owners. Huntington accounts for 9.000 of these, or 9 per cent of the West Virginia total The incidence of shareownership for Huntington is one in 9, and for the metropolitan area, one in 19. Dividends received by West Virginia shareowners in 1961 totaled 562,000,000. Of this total, $11,000,000 was received in the Charleston area and $5,000,000 in. the Huntington area.

One out of every 18 persons in West Virginia is a shareowner, compared with one out of 20 in 1959 and one out of 33 in 1956. West Virginia's 102,000 share- owners comprise 0.6 per cent of the national total. The state total represents an increase of 2.000. per cent, over the 1959 total: this in turn was an increase of 42.000, or 72 per cent, over 1956.

fee Webb and Neal Funeral Home'and Harvey Griffin What is described by Farm Agent H. B. Thomas as being one of the best, if noi: the best" crop years in Raleigh County's history stands in danger of being severely curtailed by a blight hazard for potatoes and tomatoes. Thomas urged all commercial growers and gardeners to get blight spray or dust on their vines I "immediately." 5 Applications of fungicides such as Copper or Zineb should be made every seven to 10 days, he said. Thomas cautioned that once this fungus disease infects plants in the gardens it can spread rapidly if cool wet conditions prevail.

Nothing can be done for the plants once they become diseased, but a regular program of spraying ff or dusting will prevent the blight from becoming established and save the owners from serious losses, Thomas said. He gave these instructions: t' Mix three level tablespponsful of the fungicide you prefer in each gallon of water; or use a prepared dust. The addition of two insecti: fp cides such as Malathion and ijf: Methoxychlor will provide insect control at the same time you pro- tect your plants from blight. Thomas said beans also stand in danger of the blight. Smith Death Mrs.
