Rural Children Tour Big City in Charlotte
Twenty seven youngsters from the Carolina Virginia and Tennessee hills visited Charlotte for the first time. The Appalachia youths aged 6 to 14 toured the city and spent nine days at Camp Joy Hickory run by Rev Charles Keyes. St Giles Presbyterian Church funded the trip with help from donors. At South Park Mall they rode an escalator and each chose a pair of shoes and clothing to take home. Many had never been in a department store or seen a cash register.

Unions Lift Ban on Sinatra in Australia
Australian unions halted bans on Frank Sinatra after a three hour meeting with his lawyer and tour promoters. Hawke assisted in reaching an agreement that no apology would be demanded. Sinatra would appear in concerts in Melbourne and Sydney at $135,000 each, with a threatened hotel boycott and union opposition resolved. The singer expressed regret for incidents but denied culpability, and planned a free TV performance to make up for a canceled show while addressing earlier press clashes.
