Helping kids Country music stars working against abuse By ERIC NEWHOUSE Associated Press Writer CLEVELAND, Tenn. (AP) - “I feel like I’m starting a whole new career,” says Grand Ole Opry star Hank Snow. “And I’m excited about it,” he adds. “If I can save just one child from a life of torture, my efforts will have been successful.” Snow, 6, has commit’ed himself to a campaign to eliminate child abuse. He recently brought half a dozen country music headliners here for a concert that raised >7,000 for the Melisha Gibson Memorial Fund, named for a 4-year-old girl beaten to death in October. “A cause like this is a natural for people in our in dustry,” says Snow. “We’re always ready to help someone. “Most of us are just good country people who have had a hard way to go and who remember what we faced along the way.” Snow was bom in Canada and says he still bears the scars of the beatings he received as a child. When he was 12 and his sister was 8, they were turned out of the house into a blizzard and left to fend for themselves. Snow went to sea and survived two shipwrecks. After a series of jobs, he returned to Canada, formed a small band and began a tour. “I toured Canada for 12 years, growing steadily in pop ularity,” he says. “But America was always on my mind so in 1948, I made the biggest mistake of my life. “I had a beautiful horse, a silver saddle and a Cadillac, but I went to Hollywood, got a string of bad managers and lost everything I had.” Finally Snow fled to Texas to make a comeback and arrived there with assets totalling sll. In 1950, Snow joined the Grand Ole Opry. He wrote and recorded “I’m Moving On,” a song which topped the record charts for 49 consecutive weeks. To date, he has released nearly 100 albums for RCA. “I’m cutting back on my touring now,” Snow says. “I was looking for something to devote my efforts to and this came along at just the right time. All the pieces fell together like a crossword puzzle. I’m devoted to this cause.” Friends and co-workers quickly noticed that Snow seemed deeply affected by the cause. “Hank is one of the real giants in this business and I was honored when he asked me to appear tonight,” said fellow Grand Ole Opry star Skeeter Davis in a backstage in terview the night of the benefit concert. #r< JW^WTOf > Ms Ak - 9 sh i V V ■ ' ’ B ®srti?»w< ** * ' ft-. ’'■\JBik I*. 7> ' i 1K v Hh< <y»SCeCi f ™c 9 *A —Attlß '"'OwXHHi mO®* 9f i- rRM^vF/t'- - 9 F I iHStf ’ I Ml Wi ™»■ W Hello.
