"Skies Down Under,” will be show’n for the last time at 8:30 p.m. next Mon day. It will be replaced by the Planetarium's annual Easter pro gram, “Easter, the Awakening.” which opens Tuesday evening For the average person, who thinks only of the sky as being blue during the day and starry at night, “Skies Down Under” is, an opportunity to see the night skies which are strange to North Carolinians, but which are con sidered commonplace to people elsewhere on the globe. At the North Pole, for instance, where the program begins, the sky seems overcrowded with stars, and unlike North Carolina’s skies, the patterns of the stars at the North Pole never change. 9 *.v.• Vj.'■&'!%*/*/ Wi -,9P , Louise Lament ‘Chalk Garden’ Opens Tonight By GORDON CLARK It’s sort of ironic that Louise Lamont is acting in “The Chalk Garden,” which opens tonight at the Playmakers Theatre. It isn’t that she isn't one of The Carolina Playmakers' linest actresses, but merely that noth ing fails to grow in the talented actress - homemaker - gardener’s own garden—unlike the demented garden in the play. Mrs. Lamont plays Madrigal, the recently imprisoned govern ess, in Enid Bagnold’s witty, poet ic play. She has difficulty re straining herself when she dis cusses the play, “it’s so very beautiful!” A student in the UNC drama department back in the days of Proff Koch, Mrs. Lamont ' then Louise McGuire) went on to do professional radio and stage act ing in New York, Chicago. Toron to and stock companies through out the Northeast. She acted with her cousin, Tallulah Bankhead, in "Her Cardboard Lover,” and with Gregory Peck, Glenda Fat* rell, Ed Begley, Cameron Mitch ell and Fred Stone in numerous other productions. She played op posite Mitchell in “Criminal at Large,” in "one of my few in genue roles.” Talking enthusiastically about her reasons for being so fond of “The Chalk Garden,” she said: “It’s the language. Things like ‘a garden is a good lesson: so much dies in it so often’ and ‘the soil cannot give what it has not got’ have so much meaning!” Mrs. Lamont, who keeps busy the year-round in her garden at Mercury Lighting Can Affect Plants By M. E. GARDNER A lady writes from Burlington and makes this request: "Please advise if it has been proven that mercury lamps used for yard lighting could affect plants. We haven't had the usual luck in our greenhouse since the lamp was put up.” The yard light she mentions can very definitely affect plants growing in her greenhouse. All plants are sensitive to light, some being more sensitive tnan others. We refer to this as photo period of day length. The additional light from the yard lamp has increased the day length, or number of light hours, and most likely has kept the plants too vegetative thus pre venting proper flowering. By regulating the light and temperature in our greenhouses, we are able to time the bloom ing dates of such crops as poin settias, chysanthemums, azaleas and others. We anticipated this problem when lights were installed on out campus near our greenhouses. We solved the problem by plac ing metal shades around the rim of the lights so that our houses are protected. Several weeks ago 1 gave you a list 'of small fruited tomato va rieties that you might wish to try in your garden this summer for paste, salads, and pickles Red Cherry (large and small). Red Pear, Yellow Pear and Yel low Plum. This week 1 ran across another variety which is unusual —San Marzano. San Marzano is rectangular shaped, about 3' 2 inches long and about I*2 inches across. It is re ported to be productive and to have ■ a very intense red color, making it especially suitable for puree and tomato paste. The weather has been a choice conversation piece all winter. TTTR CHAPEL TTTLL WtY the Lamont home on Laurel Hill Rd., is one of the gardeners on the Chapel Hill garden tour in April. A day dosn’t go by in which she doesn’t explore and enjoy the sloping, beautiful gar den. After Louise met John Lamont in Hartford. Conn., where she was doing radio work, they came to Chapel Hill to marry and make their home. Never idle. Mrs., Lamont found ed the Lamont School of Drama for children here. Also, she an nually serves as a judge for the Carolina Drama Festival and teaches acting each summer to the Junior Carolina Playmakers. Among her favorite roles with the Playmakers are leads in “Rain,” “T-he Matchmaker,” “The Little Foxes.” “I Remember Mama” and Gertrude in “Hamlet.” “Foster Fitz-Simons (director of The Chalk Garden’) and I first acted together ‘Rain,’ when I played Sadie Thompson. This is the fourth play in which he’s directed me. “This is undoubtedly one of the finest casts I’ve ever worked with. Marion Fitz-Simons is su perb, and Mary Spearman—whom I taught this summer—is a fine, budding young actress,” Mrs. Lamont has no intention of slowing down any time soon. She is now writing an outdoor drama, "which I’m keeping mum’ about right now.” "The Chalk Garden will run through Sunday at The Playmak ers Theatre. Curtain time is 8:30 each evening, with an ad ditional matinee performance Sunday at 2:30 p.m. In the vernacular, “we have had it.” The iil tanker has spent a good portion of time in my drive way not to mention a couple of cords of wood in the fireplace. 1 have just read an interesting article on “The Weather Pat tern". by a noted meteorologist in which he predicted, last tall, that, “due to high altitude nu clear blast; in space, cold air masses would penetrate farther south throughout the Northern Hemisphere this winter.” This pre diction, as we know, came true. Mr. Kirch’s explanation of the cold air disturbances is not. how ever. in agreement with the thinking of the U. S. Weather Bureau meteorologists. They say that they need more proof. Be that as it may, it would probably be wise for us to spend more time thinking and planning for health and happiness at the lower altitudes where we live. There is lots of unconquered space down here. Cadmus On Nursing School Committee Dr. Rot>ert Cadmus, chairman of the University School of Medi cine’s Department of Hospital Ad ministration, lias been named to an eleven-member committee to develop guidelines for construct -1 ing acutely needed nursing schools throughout the nation.

Well remembered for h<s painting “Bootie at Table." which won a Purchase Award at the 1‘,53 North Carolina Artists’ An nual in Raleigh, his new work will be honored by a premiere ex hibit opening at the Paintings Upstairs Gallery here March 17. Mr. Gordon had a string of winners during the late 1950’5, at which time lie was on the art staff at East Carolina College in Greenville. Among them were a purchase award in the Irene L-eache Memorial Competition at Norfolk: a third place in the Southeastern in Atlanta; and an honorable mention in the Paint ing of the Year exhibit —a re gional show held annually in At lanta. His philosophy then was: "Al ways tile painting becomes w'hat it is in and through the act of painting. Sometimes one is able to say ‘Yes, that painting is what 1 should have hoped for.’ Paint ing is found, not made.”, In 1960 he moved his family to San Miguel de Allend. Mexico, '.where he expected to live and paint for a year. Soon disenchant ed with that situation, however, ader four months they moved back to his hometown, Danville. Ky. There he painted portraits for two years in order to support his family and indulge a fling at abstract painting, lie abandoned abstraction in April of last year, he said, to return to figuration. Why? “Abstraction no longer seemed adequate," he said. "After pur suing it for three years, it did not seem to be enough. So I turned flat-footedly around and began to pick up the pieces f abandoned in 1958. Since then I have been thrashing around with no particular style." Although his approach to paint ing has vacillated between ab straction and figuration, his goal has remained constant: Total ex pression effectiveness. "One has to fight for the kind of freedom that will permit this, and one’s chief opponent is oneself,” he said. John, himself, has changed lit tle during his absence from North Carolina. His crewcut is longer and his hazel eyes perhaps a bit more penetrating. His grins, hard to come by, are rewarding. He is a very serious painter with family responsibilities; five of them, to be exact his wife, the former Martha Pilkington of UZZLE’S m.mm SPECIALS SPRING is just around the corner, I Prepare your ear for carefree sum mer driving note.
