For more than 20 years, Drake broadcast his homespun philosophy and observations, aimed mainly at homemakers. He began to be a household name in the mid-1940s with ABC, moving to CBS and then WOR. In 1957, he switched to ABC television with the "This Is Galen Drake" show but two years later was back at WOR. Hatcher sent back to N.C. to face trial RALEIGH (AP) Indian activ- whisked away in an unmarked car after arriving at Raleigh-Durham International Airport on an American Airlines flight shortly before 10 p.m.
He was accompanied by a N.C. Department of Correction officer. Hatcher Hatcher shook his head, saying only, North Carolina Saturday night after losing an extradition battle in California courts. Hatcher, handcuffed, was Hatcher "Back in the belly of the beast." David Guth, a spokesman for the Department of Correction, said plans called for Hatcher to be returned to Robeson County. Hatcher was taken off the plane and led down steps to the tarmac, where he was whisked into a waiting unmarked car for the trip to Lumberton.
Hatcher is charged with kidnapping 14 people during a 10-hour takeover of The Robesonian newspaper in Lumberton Feb. 1, 1988. He had been free on a $25,000 bond posted by the National Council of Churches when he fled late last year to the Onondaga Indian Nation reservation in New York. Hatcher later surfaced on an Idaho reservation before disappearing again. He was arrested in San Francisco March 10 after the Soviet consulate turned down his request for asylum.
Hatcher, 31, has said his life would be in danger if he is returned to face trial in North Carolina. In the takeover, Hatcher and fellow Tuscarora tribesman Timothy Jacobs said they were trying to draw attention to local law enforcement's alleged involvement in drug dealing. A state task force reported that it found no evidence of corruption after investigating the charges. Hatcher and Jacobs were tried and acquitted on federal kidnap charges. But last December, after the acquittals, a grand jury in Robeson County indicted the pair on state charges.
Jacobs is in custody after pleading guilty to charges in connection with the takeover. Hatcher was ordered extradited Friday morning by San Francisco Municipal Court Judge Timothy Reardon, who denied a defense motion to block the extradition. Hatcher's attorneys appealed, but the 1st District Court denied the request to block extradition.

2 in Major, dating from only the second year of the 19th century; and concluded with a violin concerto firmly rooted in the 20th century Bartok's second Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, completed in 1938. John Ferritto was guest conductor for the concert, and Gerard Poulet was soloist for the concerto. The whole evening was alive with excitement. Ferritto is Music Director and Conductor of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra, the Congress of Strings, and the Blossom Festival School.

has 'vibrant' weekend Music Review The Dvorak Carnival Overture, with which he began the concert, is the central work in a triptych of programmatic overtures. The piece opens brilliantly, and this performance delineated a rich palette of colorful detail. The conclusion was played with a kind of precipitous whirlwind of activity which got the whole evening off to an electrifying start. The reading of the Beethoven Symphony was sure and uncluttered. Ferritto conducted both the overture and the symphony without score, the orchestra seemed at ease and responsive in all of their music making.
Each time one of these less-frequently-played, even-numbered symphonies of Beethoven is performed, it is a reminder of what a whole world of experience and expression is available in these terrific pieces. This performance was robust and confident in each of its four movements, and intermission found many in the enthusiastic audience commenting about the quality: and spirit of the performances. The greatest treat of the evening came, however, when the brilliant French violinist, Gerard Poulet, YOUR GOLDEN RULE FUNERAL HOME Hanes.

Poulet showed off his impressive, technical prowess and stylistic sensitivity on Tuesday evening's Chamber Music Concert as he played Debussy and Ravel. With the Bartok concerto, he further impressed.
It would be difficult to imagine this piece being played with greater skill or understanding. as it does, at the beginning of Bartok's last period, in which his works took on an even greater eloquence and ability to communicate directly, this piece has it all. It is full of melodic fervor and harmonic passion. It provides the soloist with virtuoso opportunities aplenty, and an abundance of poetic grace. Saturday's performance realized all of these opportunities and more.
There was an elegant rapport between Poulet and Ferritto. Theirs was a relationship of poised professionalism and mutual respect which played itself out many times with eye contact to insure comfort of ensemble. Poulet played with a passionate conviction and daring which is rare. Summer in Greensboro is wonderful for many reasons. Not the least of these is EMF.
