I hat was the rather auslere beginning of a talent that is now considered lo In- one of ihe fines! in \ppalachian folk music. From her home in Marietta, Ga., Betty Smith is now it much demand as a folk singer and siring musician. she has recorded several albums, authored publications on traditional music, and performed at scores of Festivals, concerts, universities, and in public school sv stems.

Her schedule on Ihe 20th includes a program for WCU's dav care training project from ') until I 1:30 a.m. and a concert for Ihe general public at 8 p.m. All of Mrs. .Smith's performances will be in the Music Recital Hall of WCU's Music -English Building. The public is invited to attend any of the performances w ithout charge. Mrs. Smith is no stranger in Western North Carolina folk music circles. She has performed in Ashevillc's Mountain Dance and Folk Festival and Byard Ray Festival manv limes, beginning in 1963. She credits having learned the importance of oral tradition from Bascom Lunsford after be told her to commit to memory anything she wanted to preserve. she is now considered to have an extensive repertoire of Appalachian, English, Scottish, and Southern ballads, folk songs, hymns, and play-party songs and games. One of the highlights of a concert by Betty Smith is her performance on the psaltry. The psaltry is a table-like instrument that sits on legs and in some ways resembles a small piano. It has an open top wherein lie sels of steel strings that are plucked by hand like a harp, lis origins are losl in antiquity, Mrs. Smith has been playing the psaltry since 1973 as a "do il yourself" project. "There some things you should learn lo do in your own way." she explains, "lhc psaltry is not an instrument for people who have lo have a book and a teacher." Mrs. Smith was born in Salisbury and grew up in High I'ioni. She was graduated from the University of North Carolina al Greensboro with a degree in sociology and holds the master's degree in early childhood education from Georgia State University. Her performance al WCU is in conjunction with Mountain Heritage Day, the university's annual celebration of mountain tradition and culture scheduled for Sept. 29. Cat contest at MHD %Thc organizers of Mountain Heritage Day at WCU have said all along that their event is the cat's meow, but this year they plan to make their point by including a full-scale cat show among the day's activities. The Mountain Heritage Day Cat Show will be held at 9 a.m. September 29 at WCU's Whitmire Stadium. It replaces a dog show held on previous Mountain Heritage days. Mountain Heritage Day Committee Chairman Doug Davis and the event, included because of the "caterwauling" of area cat lovers, would have a pronounced effect. "I can't state categorically," he said, "that this show will serve as a catalyst for other activities, catapult'ng cat-owners into the spotlight. Barring any catastrophe, of course." A trophy will be presented to the eat winning the "best of show" competition, and blue ribbons will be presented to first-place winners in 11 other categories—best looking cat, best behaved cat, longest coat, shortest coat, ugliest cat. funniest cat. smallest cat. largest cat. longest tail, crookedest tail, and largest-footed cat. Each entrant will receive an entry ribbon. All cats entering must be at least six months old. Davis said.
