HOME TRAINING A gentleman visiting a home asked a small boy how old he was. The child was embarrassed, and in a moment he turned to his mother and said, “Is he a conductor?” When informed that he was not a conductor he said boldly, “I am 6 years old, sir.” It was mother’s turn now to be embarrassed, for she had taught him to say 5 years old when traveling in trains. The fact is that the money she had saved by not paying half fare was a great price to pay in not training her child to be absolutely honest. For it is not what we say and teach but as we live it do we train them, furnishes the teachings of a child. Andrew Murray said, “Not as we think an ideal for our children but os we live it do we train them. It is by living a thing that we prove that we love it, that we have it, and that we influtence the young mind to love and to have it, too.” READ THE ADS TOO!

Asheville Theatre Group Producing Famous Comedy 0 The Asheville Community Theatre, Inc., is producing “THE DAMASK CHEEK,” famous com edy of manners by John Van Dru ten and Lloyd Morris, at David Millard Junior High school, Nov ember 19 thru the 21st. Altho the play is totally unlike Van Druten’s last two hits, “VOICE OF THE TURTLE” and “I RE MEMBER MAMMA,” his genius is as much in evidence with the delightful tale of an English girl who visits her American cousins in New York during the winter of 1909 and proceeds to shock them by such unheard of breaches of the moral code as smoking cig arettes and riding thru Central Park with a gentleman, unchaper oned. The production is being staged by Keinert Wolff, recently seen on Broadway as the Dean in song of Bernadette and as Katherine Cornell’s brother in the revival “Barretts of Wimpole Street.” Over 3000 people thrilled to the Community Theatre’s initial pro duction, “Dark Os The Moon,” and much interest is being shown in this second offering of the sea son.
