many wgb like Mr. Sam Myers who remember the tomboy
days 4 efijftbing trees, shooting air rifles, and riding motor
bikes, an fphy attempt «t writing a column in the local paper
requires i wbole lot of nerve, plus a trace of a sense of humor.

SALISBURY Casting has
been completed for the Cataw
ba College drama department's
next production, "Animal
Farm," slated for a March 9-12
run in the College-Community
Centre.
The cast includes seven peo
ple each of whom plays one
major role plus an additional
minor part in a play that di
rector Gerald Honaker (eels is
pertain to arouse comment.
The actors include Danny
Schweitzer, Bridgeton, N.J.;
George Rose, National Park,
N. J.; Jim Graham Warren ton,
Va.; Chris Wiley, Ellicott City,
Mr.; Bill Tatum, Medford
Lakes, N. J.; Sherwood Spry,
Lexington; and Suzanne Grace,
Salisbury. Suzanne is the wife
of Holt B. Grace, Jr. of Salis
bury, also a student at Cataw
ba. Both the Graces are juniors.
"Animal Farm" is the stage
adaptation of novelist George
Orwell's 1946 pungent satire
on totalitarian government,
with the character list includ
ing animals as well as people.
The barnyard with its "peck
ing order of authority" among
the animals is the scene for
this amusing and all-too-true
play. Instead of using human
beings, a mythical country,
and describing the participants
in the action as having charac
teristics usually associated with
certain animals, novelist Or
well just started off with the
animals as they lived in a
totalitarian barnyard.
What he came up with has
been termed "a devastating
and continually funny attack
on the pig-headed, gluttonous,
ind avaricious rulers in an
imaginary totalitarian state
. . . (and) "is a wise, com
passionate and illuminating
fable for our time . . The
steadiness f«nd luciditv of Or
well's wit are reminiscent of
Anatole France and even at
Swift." New York Times.
Long a book that is required
reading in many historv and
literature courses. "Animal
Farm" holds a special place
among works of a satiric na
ture
Orwell, also author of thfc
"Big Brother" novel "1948".
has said that "every line of
serious work that I have writ
ten since 1936 has been writ
ten, directly or indirectly,
against totalitarism ... Animal
Farm was the first book in
which I tried, with full con
sciousness of what I was doing,
to fuse political purpose and
artistic purpose into one
whole."

about it that we asked her
to tell you, too. These are her
words:
"I want to thank the Library
Board and planning board for
making the library accessible
to people in wheel dwin or
crutches, and to anyone un
able to climb stairs.
"This makes the library
truly a public building Im,
everyone, not just the able
bodied. This was a very
thoughtful thing to do and a
great many of us appreciate it.
"It was a real thrill to be
able to go in the beautiful
library without any help and
select the books that I wanted.
"There is a water fountain
low enough for people in
wheel chairs to use.
"I am so very proud of Da
vie County and the Library
and everyone that works there.
They have helped to make a
lot of people live happier and
richer lives."
