Planks to Palisades: Story
Of 'High Tor 7 Back-Stage
To one long plank add half a dozen
splintery laths, an armful of old chick
en wire, two dozen rusty nails, a shirt
tail length of unbleached cloth, a
bucket of gooey plaster, and gobs of
myriad colored paint. Throw in a hand
ful of hammered fingers, a wash-tub
full of lie-splattered clothes, and a
back-full of aches and creaks. The re
sult is a passable palisade.

"High Tor" will doubtless lie impressed
with the unusualness of the set. They
will, however, be blissfully unaware of
the evolutionary development of the
scraggl.v cliffs and the life-size steam
shovel which will constitute the bulk
of the stage scenery for the action
along the lower banks of the Hudson
river.
The palisades through which the
sailor ghosts troop down to the river
have taken form—laboriously and
slowly—for two weeks back-stage.

College Is Beneficiary
In California Man's Will
Guilford college was recently
n;imt'l a beneficiary for one-four
teenth of the estate of Mr. ami
Mrs. Joseph Cole of California.
It is to be held in trust by the
California Trust company for 20
years. During this period the col
lege will receive one-fourteenth of
the earned income, and at the end
of the 20 year period it is to re
ceive one-fourteenth of the total
amount.
The estate at present is largely
in real property in California and,
therefore, there is now no accurate
estimate of its value.
College officials could not ex
plain the inclusion of Guilford
among the beneficiaries.
