Thursday. May 19. 1983 j' —1 Drama Club To Present "Carousel” “Carousel,” the first musical play written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammers tein, 2nd., following the great success they scored with “Oklahoma!”, is being presented by Holmes Drama Club at John A. Holmes Auditorium beginning tonight, (Thursday,) May 19. Telling the story of an ill fated though devoted love of a gentle, shy New England mill girl for a braggart, wastrel carnival barker, “Carousel” has grown in such stature since it was first presented in 1945 that it is generally regarded as one of the most tender, eloquent and melodious musical plays of the American theatre. It scored a great triumph in New York in 1945 and has won even greater plaudits in subsequent revivals, when its status as a part of American folklore could be more sharp ly defined. Steve Lane will be in the leading role of Billy Bigelow, the barker for a carousel, who attracts all women and treats them all badly, even the modest little mill-girl, who wins him from his hardened, jealous employer and marries him. Marie Perry has the role of the “queer one,” Julie Jor dan, with a. valiant spirit under a gentle exterior. Belatedly spurred to achieve security and position for his wife and unborn child, Billy tries to commit a rob bery, fumbles and is trapped by the police, and, then, he commits suicide rather than bequeath the shame of his im prisonment on the child he has not seen. Years later, he is given a chance to make good his failures by returning to Earth for a single day. He sees his adolescent daughter as a lonely girl, snubbed by the other children who throw up to her the shame of her father’s crime and shiftlessness. In his heart break for her, and for his devoted wife, he almost fumbles even this second chance . i In addition to Marie Perry and Steve Lane as the barker and his wife, other leading members of the cast will be Kathrine Ansink, Pat Bond, Jay Gibson, Steve Schroder, and many other students and adults from Edenton and Chowan County. Performances for “Carousel” are scheduled for Thursday, Friday, and Satur day, May 19,20, and 21, at 8:00 P.M. at John A. Holmes Auditorium. Admission is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for Children.

Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Occasionally unfortunate happenings give us just cause to step back and take a long look at situations which we are faced with from time to time. We tend to accept these situations; work around them for now; and quite frequently, complain about them; but we never put forth an honest effort to eliminate them. In a recent issue of your newspaper, I came across a letter from a concerned citizen, and as the following may or may not have been the case in this particular instance, I feel justified in writing this letter. It may be that we can do something about these tragic in stances, if we all work at it together. Our rescue squad is made up of dedicated volunteers, supported by the county government and the citizens of this county. We (the squad) are required by the State of North Carolina to take exactly the same training as are the highest paid emergency medical technicians in the state. This amounts to a total of thousands of training man hours just to achieve and maintain our squad’s cer tification, not to mention the extra hours spent at various state supported seminars, and so forth. The three units in our county provide total standby coverage from 7 P.M. to 7 A.M. Monday through Friday, and from 7 P.M. on Saturday through 7 A M. on Monday. This means there are at least two qualified squad members from each of the three units on duty between these hours in case they may be needed. During the daytime hours our volunteer members are on continuous standby, should they be needed. There have been very few times in the life of our squad when there was a great difficulty in finding a member to respond to a distress call. Never can I recall a time where there was a call totally unan swered. Our volunteers leave their jobs, fields, hired help and other matters unattended for whatever time is demanded of them, and without question or regret, so they may better serve their community and fellow citizens. The Edenton-Chowan Rescue Squad has the reputation of being a well run, well-equipped, well trained, dedicated Continued On Page 10-A 4-H Talent Show Held By Murray L. ‘ .luAtwin, * Jackson, Denise Moye, Taiida Agricultural Extension Agent Tyner and Lynn Jordan A dance routine performed by four senior 4-H members of Westside 4-H Club was selected as top number in the 1983 4-H Talent Show held at Chowan Junior High School last Thursday.
