Folk Singing Trio Schedules Utah Appearances July 8 Peter, Paul and Mary, the most talented and widest acclaimed folk trio today, will perform at Lagoon's Patio Gardens this Saturday, July 8. On a warm evening in May, 1961, Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers - - met in Mary's Greenwich Village apartment. They were there because a persuasive fellow named Albert B. Grossman, who had guided the careers of several brilliant folk artists, believed that together they could make "a lot of music." For seven months after the meeting Peter, Paul and Mary wrote arrangements, harmonized, rehearsed, argued, tore up arrangements, and reharsed again. Finally, the trio was ready for thbig move from rehearsal studio to stage. They opened at a Green-wcih Village night club called the Bitter End. The Bitter End was mobbed by discoverers of the new trio, as was the Gate of Horn in Chicago, the Hungry in San Francisco and the Blue Angel, back in New York. The word soon spread that Peter, Paul and Mary had something to say, something new that was moving and exciting. Within three months after their first album, titled simply "Peter, Paul and Mary" was issued in the Spring of 1962, it zoomed to the top of the charts.

They performed six concerts a week for six consecutive months. A little more than a year after singing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" in a cramped New York apartment, Peter, Paul and Mary found themselves the most acclaimed folk singers in the land. It was not long before these three vital and unique personalities were fused in the public eye. Their second album "Moving", brought them another gold record as did "In the Wind" and "Peter, Paul and Mary in Concert." At last report, their three most recent L. P.'s were simultaneously on the best seller charts. Meanwhile, more singles achieved equal success, including "Puff, the Magic Dragon," "Blow-in' in the Wind", and "Don't Think Twice.

In 1901, following the Spanish-American War, American soldiers in the Philippines were asked to stay on to teach English and many of them did so. Later the same year the Philippines teaching program was transferred to a civilian authority, and a volunteer program was organized in the United States to further young English teachers. Twelve thousand young American men and women volunteered for the program, of whom about six hundred were chosen to go in the first contingent. They arrived in the Philippines on the Army transport "U.S.S. Thomas" and as a result acquired a lasting name--the Thomasites. They were all college graduates, but most of them had little if any teaching experience. Perhaps the first government programs that can be traced directly to William James' proposals are the youth organizations launched in the administrations of 1 DEE BARBER Excellent Haircuts & the finest in service 2417 Harrison Blvd. 393-8214 fb p PROGRAM I Pres. Franklin Roosevelt. There was, of course, no conscription involved. However, the main purpose was to channel the energies of young people into constructive work--one of James' principal concerns. The work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, established in 1933, is probably the best remembered. The CCC resembled James' peace army in one important respect: paramilitary discipline. Its members wore uniforms and lived in the field in camps containing, on the average, about two hundred young men. It was administered jointly by the Departments of War, Interior and Agriculture. Pres. Harry Truman was also interested in a peace army of the sort recommended by James. The congressmen who drafted the Universal Military Training bill, which was shelved after much acrimoni6us debate in 1951, were instructed by Pres. Truman to study the possibility of conscripting young American men and women for both military and civilian! service. The idea of conscription for Golf City STUDENT RATES: 65c Open 9 a.m. - 5600 So.

The Chicago "Tribune" was not alone in suggesting that "this device" was actually a method of subjecting youth to the political discipline of the state. If "William James first publicly formulated the idea of an official, government-sponsored program of youth service, the precedents of almost a century and a half of work by American missionaries is probably even more important as a source of plans and methods for the present Peace Corps. Since 1809 American religious organizations that have been sending missions abroad to work in underdeveloped areas and missionaries have traditionally done many things other than build churches and preach the Gospel. They have built schools and taught trades, built hospitals and educated doctors and nurses. They have trained local leaders in administration, developed social welfare programs and shown farmers how to increase the yeild of their crops. (Next week: Final installment of the series.
