JENNIE WALTON NEW SECRETARY MERCHANTS GROUP Sfc Miss Jennie Walton has accept ed the job as full time secretary to the Roanoke Rapids Merchants Association, according to an an nouncement from C. C. Shell, president of the organization, to day. Miss Walton will take over her duties after school closes early in June. Miss Walton will replace Mrs. Lillian Bell Thorne, who has serv ed as secretary of the association since its organization in 1934. She went to work in March of that year and has been employed full time since. Mrs. Thorne’s resignation was to become effective on April 1, but she has agreed to work until Miss Walton is able to assume the du ties in June, it was learned today. Miss Walton has been employed by the Roanoke Rapids Schools for the past several years as an instructor in commercial subjects. She received her training at Bowling Green College, Kentucky. Her home is in Hopkinsville, Ky. MINSTREL (Continued from Page 1) ed in the “Follies" when the “bathing beauties" are presented for the approval of the audiences. The most daring suits available were secured for the “beauties” in this number. The large minstrel scene will offer georgeous patriotic costumes and patriotic songs. The grand finale climaxes the show with a burst of patriotism that is design ed to lift the heart of every Amer ican who is privileged to hear and see it All in all it is a spectacular show, filled from beginning to end with unsurpassed beauty, re markable rhythm, and time-tested tunes. HUTCHINGS DIRECTS John (Slim) Hutchings, familiar here to every minstrel fan, is back again from the John B. Rogers Producing Company to direct the show. With so many good shows here behind him, “Slim” is always careful to select the best for Ro anoke Rapids. The “Follies”, be ing presented here this year, has been ironed out down in Little Rock, Arkansas, and is now ready for the finished presentation for Roanoke Rapids audiences. A cast of about 150 persons, in cluding talent from the high school and all parts of the city, have been at work on the show since Monday night of this week. Mr. Hutchings said today that he had been well pleased with much of the new talent that Kiwanians have unearthed since last year. Especially improved will be the voices to carry on the burden of the singing, he says. In addition to the new talent, many of those versed in the ways of minstrel lore have returned to offer their cervices to the Kiwan ians in this very commendable venture. FOR DENTAL CLINIC Proceeds from the show will go toward maintaining a city-wide dental clinic for underprivileged children. For the past several years, the clinic has examined thousands of children and given aid to hundreds. General admission to the show is 75 cents for adults and 35 cents for children. A reserved section is sold at $1 per seat The policy of reserving a section each year is followed in order to give those who cannot get to the show early the assurance of a good seat. The reserved section is said to be as good as other sections but not necessarily a great deal better. About 15 per cent of the seats are reserved.
