Papa is All to be Staged Wednesday
Papa ia All, the Carteret Community Theatre's first pro
duction of the current season, will emerge before the foot
lights Wednesday night at the Morehead City recreation
building (the former USO).
Due to insurance adjusters' occu- <
pying the auditorium to clear up
Helene claims, the production has
been delayed several weeks.
Miss Ruth Peeling, theatre presi
dent, announced yesterday that
with the kind cooperation of the
General Adjustment Bureau, the
play will be staged. While the ad
justers will be in the building three
more weeks, they have agreed to
let the auditorium, which they have
rented, be used by the theatre for
one night.
Papa Is All is a humorous Penn
sylvania Dutch play, shot through
with notes of tragedy, in that Papa,
played by Leonard Lewis of More
head City, rules his family like a
tyrant.
This makes it difficult for his
daughter, Emma, played by Patsy
Holt of Morchead City, to "keep
company" with a young man.
Papa's domination also frustrates
his son, Jake, who likes machinery
and wants to be an engineer. Jake
is portrayed by Jimmy Whcatlcy,
Beaufort.
Picture shows and wheels are
"dewices" of the devil, as far as
Papa is concerned, yet ? strange
as it seems ? he willingly lets his
son, Jake, drive the family "Ford
car".
Since Papa is Mcnnonite, his re
ligion prohibits him from engaging
in worldly pursuits, such as driving
cars. But his children are still
"worldly" and can thus enjoy mod
ern conveniences since they haven't
yet joined the church.
Mama, played by Joyce Lewis of
Marshallberg, is the sweet, long
suffering rock of refuge in the
house dominated by Papa. To her
the children turn for sympathy.
Mrs. Yoder. a gossipy neighbor,
is portrayed by Julia Holt of Radio
Jsland, and the Pennsylvania state
trooper who plays an important .
part in finally trimming Papa
down to size, is played by Glenn
Adair of Beaufort.
The setting is a kitchen of a farm
house in the Pennsylvania Dutch
country north of Lancaster.
Admission is a dollar for adults
and SO cents for children. Curtain
time is 8:15 p.m.
Lillian Frances Giddens and
Tressa Vickers have designed the
stage. Work on the sets has been
done by John Lashley, Bob Rich
and Frank Carlson.
In charge of wardrobe is Rosalie
Dowdy; properties, Julia llerndon;
and prompter, Thelma Barnette.
Director is Miss Vivian May.

Morehead City Schools Wi II
Observe Education Week
The Morehead City Schools will
join in the nation-wide observance
of American Education Week Nov.
9-15, according to an announce
ment by T. L. Lee, principal of
the Morehead City Graded Schools.
American Education Week has
a very interesting and significant
history. It originated shortly after
the close of World War I when the
nation was alarmed to find that a
shocking percentage of its young
men were unfit for military ser
vice because of poor health and
illiteracy.
The National Education Associa
tion and the newly-formed Amer
ican Legion joined forces to work
on the problem and in 1921. thej
sponsored the first observance of
this Week. Later the US Office of
Education joined in the movement,
and in 1938 the National Congress
of Parents and Teachers became
the fourth official sponsor.
In addition to these official spon
sors, practically all civic, religious
and general cultural groups help
to plan and finance American Edu
cation Week activities.
Commenting on this year's ob
servance of AEW, Mr. Lee has
this to say, "The basic purpose of
American Education Week is to
make the citizens of America more
keenly aware of the vital role
which education plays in a demo
cracy, and to help them realize
that good schools are their per
sonal responsibility.
"More specifically it seeks to
increase understanding and appre
ciation of education by both the
general public and the students
who are in school; to bring out
school needs and problems, and
most of all to strengthen the bonds
of cooperation between the school
and the community.
"We need to realize that educa
tion is the joint responsibility of
the school and the community,

tucky Department of Fish and
Wildlife Resources said the only
legal way to catch fish in Kentucky
was by hook and line? or bow and
arrow.
and is no better and no worse than
the community wants it to be.
This being the case, now is a good
time for everybody to take a long
and careful look at his schools to
see where they are going and
how."
Plans for observing American
Education Week are being drawn
up by a committee composed of
Ralph Wade, chairman, Mrs. Lois
Venters, Mrs. Doris Scott, Mrs.
Florence Cordova, Miss Hortense

Man Risks Neck
For Wrong Plate
Hollywood (AP)? John Broberg,
tv station employe, lost his license
plate while driving on a freeway.
He heard it fall, but couldn't stop
in the rush of traffic. So he drove
sadly home.
Next day at the same spot, lo
. . . license plate on the freeway.
Traffic was lighter so he turned
off, circled, and parked at free
ways edge. Dashing daringly be
tween cars he grabbed the plate,
crushed it to his breast, and like
a halfback threaded his way back
to his car.
Glancing down, he saw the plate
wasn't his.
