They men-, tioned their children's interest in the programs provided especially for youngsters, and several indicated many of the courses offered were of benefit to them in understanding such things as modern math, enabling the mothers to be of more help in homework. A Crittenden County mother, wanting to help her children but also fascinated by the new world opening to her, writes, V. school can be the most wonderful thing for this one dumb parent that can not afford to go to school." FRANKFORT "In my 75 years of hearing and seeing, I'm sure this is the greatest hour," writes a retired Pulaski County minister in a letter of appreciation to Kentucky Educational Television headquarters in Lexington. He enjoys all of the programs in his "second childhood," he says, and thinks "many of the retired can, if they will, enjoy all of them." Among a sampling of letters received recently by KET, several were from senior citizens.

Two courses they enjoyed, as did many other viewers, were Folk Guitar and French Chef. A woman from Louisville wrote, "I'm of the older generation (several grandchildren) but I used to really swing a Uke and still play the piano, but not very much" and asked to be "put down" for the second instruction book in Folk Guitar, although she is still struggling with the first course, determined to learn the "whole first book" before her son gets back from Vietnam to surprise him. The "lively and interesting Julia Child cooking sessions" drew praise from both young and old women viewers. A retired Berea woman who "has time to look and enjoy" wishes the French Chef program could be on twice each week with different lessons on each program. Many viewers wrote requesting the recipe sheets which are avail-able upon request.

This year the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company at Wickliffe purchased nearly one million seedlings for distribution to landowners under their matching seedling program. The company donates the number of seedlings a landowner buys himself. In addition, seedlings are given to schools to start a forest. The first seed orchard stock grafted by the Division of Forestry using cuttings from selected superior trees in the state was completed in the fall of 1968 and planted in the spring of 1969. Species grafted were 400 white, 300 shortleaf.

and 300 loblolly pines. The Division of Forestry now has 33 acres of pine seed orchards. A Pennyrile State Forest a three acre test planting was made this spring. Seedlings were grown from seed taken from the loblolly pine seed orchard at the Kentucky Dam Nursery. FRANKFORT With the end of the year's spring tree planting season, the Division of Forestry's three nurseries are hard at work preparing to seed for next year's crop.

In 1970, the Division will make a special effort to increase the number of tree seedlings planted in Kentucky to 150 million. Ten million tree seedlings were shipped from the Division to Kentucky landowners this spring. These seedlings were used to reforest approximately ten thousand acres of idle and eroding land. During the past 10 years over 150 million seedlings have been distributed. With the expected increase in mind for 1970, the Division's nurseries are seeding extra quantities of loblolly, shortleaf, white and Virginia Pine.

Black Locust will be seeded early in July. Last fall, hardwood species including black walnut, white oak, red oak. yellow poplar.

Last year, the Met did French operas, in concert version, the singers in evening dress and not acting, but with full chorus and orchestra. The year before, the first in city parks, three Puccini operas were done. This year it's three by Verdi "La Traviata," "Aida" and "Rigoletto," with Moffo as Violetta, Gabriella Tucci and Lucine Amara alternating as Aida, and Cornell MacNeil singing Rigoletto. "If you approach artists in time," Jaretzki says, "they'll usually sing in the parks. They've got to give their time to somebody.

We pay what we pay during the season. "You do everything you can to persuade them to sing. Even though we rely on contributions and don't have a box office on this, we want the bigger names. "As long as we're doing this, we want as big an audience as we can get." HIGH HIGHWAY ESTES PARK. Colo.

(AP) -The Trail Ridge Road, which reaches an altitude of 12,183 feet from Estes Park to Grand Lake, is the nation's highest continuous highway. It is closed by heavv snows in the winter. Kentucky's first fair was in 1816 in Fayette County. It was the first livestock exhibition west of the Allegheny Mountains. By MARY CAMPBELL AP Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK (AP) The Met ropolitan Opera, presenting gratis operas in the parks of all five boroughs June 10-28, has an easier job of recruiting singers than one might expect.

"I know of only two singers who refused because it was outdoors." says Paul Jaretzki, Met assistant artistic administrator, who is in charge of assembling the artist roster. "Some singers won't sing outdoors; some won't go outside on the day of a performance, but others go shopping on the day of a performance to keep occupied. "Richard Tucker had never sung in the parks before. But things have been successful we've gotten a very big audienceand I think artists like a good public." This year Tucker will sing Alfredo in "La Traviata" and the Duke in "Rigoletto." Jaretzki says, "We negotiated with Robert Merrill's kids. He had a commitment in Israel and I was trying to get him to stay through the three weeks of the parks.

But the kids wanted to take the trip. However, he's to be with us the first week. "Sherrill Milnes is going to be recording in Europe, but he was anxious to get one performance in, to sort of be with it. "If you do Anna Moffo is one of the most popular stars. If we couldn't have gotten Horn eral times.

There's real depth to Presley's voice, and feeling. In "It Keeps Right on a-Hurtin'" his voice has a light, smooth top with a throb underneath, the best of oldtime-new-time country delivery combined. "Gentle on My Mind" is sung country too. It adopts easily to folk or pop treatment and it's very good. "Wild and Wonderful" on MGM presents 14-year-old Julie Budd.

These songs are mostly oldies, well chosen for a young person with an extensive vocal range. She sings "Wild and Wonderful Me" earnestly. "Where Is Love?" in a childlike, tender way, part of the time putting a less-desirable brass edge on her voice. She also sings "Who Will Buy This Wonderful "When I Fall in Love," "My Favorite Things." She overdoes "Johnny One Note." but the young can be excused for showing off once in a while.

Bar-bra Streisand's younger half-sister. Now we're hearing from Aretha Franklin's younger sister and Dionne Warwick's. Miss Kind is making an effort to sing in the rock-oriented field, entirely different from her sister's dirges and ballads. The younger Misses Franklin and Warwick aren't making such a big switch in material, so they sound more like their older sisters. Carolyn Franklin's debut album is "Baby Dynamite!" on RCA.

A belter, she sounds a good deal like Aretha whon she's singing soul. "It's True I'm Gonna Miss You" Carolyn does wailing high. She sounds younger than Aretha, and doesn't lose herself in the lyric as much. "What Now My Love" is impassioned, as it should be. and often isn't.

"There I Go." which is sad, shows a very good voice. Even though Carolyn Franklin sings loud, the accompaniment is too loud on this album, sometimes covering her voice. Carolyn, 25, majored in music at the University of Southern California, sang in the Baptist Church choir with her sisters Aretha and Erma and has traveled as leader of Aretha's background singers. Dee Dee Warwick has recorded before. "Foolish Fool" on Mercury is her new LP.

She and Dionne Warwick also started singing in church choirs and paid dues in backup groups. On this album, she sings "Al-fie," which was a hit for Dionne; Dee Dee sounds a lot like her singing it. The title song and two more are by Ed Townsend. one-time rhythm 'n' blues singer. Maybe he'll be for Dee Dee what Bert Bacharach and Hal David are for Dionne: his songs are good ones.

On "Foolish Fool." Dee Dee Warwick shouts, but in a somewhat thin voice, still sounding marvelously all woman. Some tunes like "When Love Slips Away." are nonshouted ballads. "Thank God" by Townsend sounds something like "I Believe" but comes across as honest. On this album, accompaniment is used to feature the singer's voice. Elvis Presley has a new album out and it's quality country.

"From Elvis in Memphis." on RCA. Who would have thought 14 years ago that Presley would still be around, or that we'd be raving about his singing? The best songs on the album which is all very listenable are the ones most country. "I'll Hold You in My Arms" is so remarkable we listened to it sev- The two animals recorded in the Bible as speaking like human beings are the serpent in the Book of Genesis and Balaam's ass in the Book of Numbers. whatever In the BRANCH July 1st fv 7 i 1 5 Savings Certificate Accounts with a minimum balance of $5,000 will earn 5V yearly, the highest rate permitted by federal regulation on insured savings. 5 Savings Certificates earn from date of deposit.
