SHEARWOOD TO SPEAK AND SHOW COLOR PICTURES OF AFRICAN ANIMALS The Southern Pines Civic Club will be entertained at its meeting on Monday, March 11, with mo tion and still pictures in color of the wild life of east and central Africa, to be presented by Captain George F. Shearwood of Pine- hurst. The pictures and talk will cover a •journey njade by Captain and Mrs. Shearwood, and Mrs. Henry A. Page of Aberdeen late last summer, and will show the primi tive pygmies and the giant Wa- tussi people of the Belgian Congo and lions, elephants, giraffe, rhino and thousands of other wild ani mals photographed in what is the world’s greatest big game coun try. Captain Shearwood, who oper ates the Shearwood Travel Serv ice, in Pinehurst, speaks with 40 years of experience in the Dark Continent. He first went into central Africa in 1916 as a British Army officer and commanded a column of native African soldiers in the World War 1 campaign against the Germans in what was then German East Africa, now Tanganyika Territory, a United ’ Nations trusteeship administered by Britain. During his wartime service there Capt. Shearwood was in the field from Uganda to the Portu guese territory of Mozambique and into Northwest Rhodesia. When the Armistice came, he and his African troops took over the remnants of the native German force when they were interned until they could be repatriated. After the war he was sent into the Karamoja district of northern UgandEi, a wUd, remote area just south of Ethiopia and the Sudan, where he was in charge for couple of years before rejoining his British regiment, the Gordon Highlanders, in Scotland. Even today, more than 30 yeeurs later, Karamoja is stUl so remote that a special government permit is needed to visit the game-rich country. While there Capt. Shear- wood ruled some 60,000 primitive tribesmen. Alter retiring from the army, Capt. Shearwood came to the United States and was for many yeeu-s manager of African travel for the international travel firm of Thos. Cook & Son. In this ca pacity he developed the overland journey from Capetown to Cairo, the full length of the African con tinent, and made the journey by various routes several times be fore World War 2. The trip, is now the classic tourist adventure tour of Africa. Though Capt. Shearwood! settled in Pinehurst alter the last war, his interest in Africa has remained, and he and Mrs. Shearwood have made two trips there in recent years, in 1952 when they visited South Africa as well as East Africa, and the trip made last summer which will be the colorful subject of the Civic Club meeting March 11. Guests, friends and members of the Civic Club are cordially in vited to enjoy this program. There will be no admission charge. Tea will be served. The I club meets at 3 p.m. Mrs. Frank St. Clair Is One of Class Honored At University Mrs. Frank D. St. Clair of Southern Pines is among 326 members of the University of Wisconsin’s Class of 1910 who were honored at the rededication FebruEuy 15 of the University’s famed “sifting and winnowing” plaque. The graduates of 1910 were the original donors of the bronze tablet which has been a campus landmark for more than four decades. It was stolen last fall from its place of honor on the front of Bascom Hall but later was recovered. As part of the rededication and remounting ceremonies, a com plete roster of the Class of 1910 was placed in a copper chest by the class president, F. Ryan Duffy, Milwaukee, chief judge of the U. S. Court of Appeals, Sev enth Circuit. The chest, contain ing other historic University doc uments, was sealed in the wall behind the plaque. Some 1,000 persons attended the function, at which Judge Duffy spoke on the colorful his tory of the plaque and its part in Wisconsin’s tradition of freedom. Other speakers included Gov. Vernon 'Thomson, UW Pres. E. B. Fred, and Prof. Helen C. White, chairman of the UW English department and president of the American Association of Univer sity Professors. The Class of 1910 originally presented the plaque to the Uni versity as a class memorial dur ing a period of controversy over freedom of teaching and learning on the campus early in the cen tury. Cast in bronze on the plaque are these words from a resolution passed by the UW Board of Regents in 1894: “Whatever may be the limita tions which trammel inquiry elsewhere, we believe that the great state University of Wiscon sin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.” Mrs. St. Clair has been a resi dent of Southern'Pines for about 10 years. She missed her UW class reunion in 1955, but is look ing forward to attending the next one, in 1960.

LENTEN OBSERVANCE -in the CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF WroE FELLOWSHIP Bennett Street at New Hampshire Avenue THIS MESSAGE is both an announcement and an invitation. It is even more! It is an earnest plea to everyone into -whose hands it might come, to turn in humble response to the blessed call of the Christian Gos pel. Our indifference may be dangerously near the habit of denial; but this Lenten season, beginning with Ash Wednesday, March 6th, calls all truly thoughtful people to repentance and renewal. It is imthinkable that any disciple of Jesus could pass through these anniversary days immindful of all they mean, or unresponsive to the appeal they make. Surely there is some church nearby—its name or denomination is unimportant—^where our little cups of blessing may be refilled! The real need of every life is right here: The deep ening of spiritual channels through which a greater in flow of the life of Christ into the life of our world may be possible. This Lenten time may mean just that to us, if we will have it so! Will you heed this call?
