AT CIVIC CLUB MONDAY
CAPT. 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?
