NEW YORK, May 23. — (Wide World.'—With the battles of the At lantic and Pacific crashing closer to our home shores, the new Broad way drama, “The Strings, My Lord, Are False,” seems as much a journalistic enterprise as it is a courageous and poetic play. It is both a warning and a heart warm ing picture that Paul Vincent Car roll has written here about what happens to the civilian population of a large city when the enemy bombers bring the war past the front line trenches and smash it down on the doorsteps of helpless noncombatants. The scene is in a steel town in the west of Scotland and the time is the spring of 1941. Powerful Nazi bombers roar over with de vastating loads of bombs every night that the weather is good for their deadly work and amidst this death and destruction the towns people begin to get acquainted with one another, begin to realize hid den faults and virtues in their neighbors as they flee from bomb shelter to refugee room. There really isn’t any plot; there is just the picture, such a one as Elmer Rice wrote in his Pulitzer prize “Street Scene,” of how peo ple’s characters, personalities and lives can change completely when confronted with extraordinary crisis. The strong and central figure of this group is Canon Courtenay, a good and wise man who feeds his flock Scotch whiskey when worldly problems become too overwhelm ing and who also fights back at his church superiors when they become too dull and dogmatic. Canon Courtenay’s home is prac tically a Grand Central station for the whole populace of the country side and they come there for heip when the bombing starts no matter whether they be Catholic or any other religion. The one time the Canon speaks religion to them is when the bomb ing becomes so heavy they are forced to flee from the house and he merely says as they move oui, to run through the rain of fire and steel outside: “Say a prayer in whatever is your religion.” -■Into his refuge comes a talkative Irish writer who is a conscientious MANOR SSSKY George Murphy in "A Girl, A Guy, and A Gob" With Lucielle Ball Feature Sunday: 2:05 - 3:53 5:51 - 7:49 - 9:47 Monday — Tuesday DOROTHY LAMOUR in "TYPHOON" In Technicolor_ INow that America is at war, it is more important than ever that every boy be trained' to defend his country.

Also comes Sadie, a girl of the streets who is fleeing from the police, and she takes on a heartening responsibility by be coming an emergency nurse both for the wounded and for an ex pectant mother whose child is born in the bomb shelter. As the Canon remarks after a terrific bombing when many are injured, but none killed: “Well, we are all all right. That is, we are if only the children won’t re member.” A villian of the picture is the wealthy man of the countryside who is caught “black trading,” that is hoarding rich food stores in his country home when the people around him are living on rations and1 scaring what little food sup plies they can get with hungry neighbors and strangers. He of fers money bribes, but money can’t be eaten irj this war-struck tow* and money, now being worthless in comparison to a potato or bowl of soup, strips him of the awesome power he once had over his poorer neighbors. There is also a slight love story of Iris, a girl canteen worker, who had become so desperate by the constant bombing that she had given herself to one man and then discovered she loved another. There are also various other char acters who might wander into a bomb shelter in any large city, in cluding a soap box communist, a drunk, an idealistic Jew, a few an cient people wondering when they could win the peace of eternal sleep, a few furloughing sailors who found battle in the civilian ranks much more disturbing than the ac tual combat they had faced on the S63S. But, in that inferno of war they found no matter what their sta tions in peacetime life, that they were all equal. When Sarah, the Canon’s cook, referred to them as “bums,” he smiled and answered: “We’re all bums, Sarah, in the eyes of God.” Carroll, who wrote “Shadow and Substance” and other hit plays, has written here one of his most mov ing dramas with the poetic elo quence that might be expected from an Irish schoolmaster who moved to Scotland and absorbed the lyrical qualities of the two countries. And he has been provided a high ly eloquent cast with Walter Hamp cen, Ruth Gordon, Colin Keith Johnston and Margot Grahame in the leading roles. -V--— Home Agent Announces Schedule For Week Miss Ann Mason, county home demonstration agent, Saturday an nounced her schedule of activities for the week of May 25-30.

The ex plosions tore a hole in the hull and the forepart of the ship burned out. in the WORLD RCLIGIOn vUI.UI.REIO BY W. W. REID The Friends (Quakers) War Vic tims Relief committee has enlisted more than 500 men and women in England to render first aid and social services for their countrymen who have been driven from thpir homes by the war. Large-scale serv ices are rendered in air raid shelters, rest centers for the homeless, and in rural hostels for evacuated chil dren. American Friends provide $10,000 per month for this service program—churches of other denomi nations assisting throughout the American Friends Service Commit tee. A number of young Americans are now being trained for service in England. They are needed to help build houses and remodel properties so that normal life can be resumed by some families that have been “bombed out.” While their husbands are in de tention camps, and they themselves are facing eventual evacuation to other areas. Christian Japanese women of Pasadena, Cal., have spent more than 2,000 hours and taken millions of careful stitches in work ing for the American Red Cross, ac cording to Miss Katherine F. Fan ning, formerly a Congregational missionary at Tottori, Japan, now working with the Japanese at Union Church, Pasadena. “Some of these women have to support several children, and all face evacuation,” says Miss Fanning. “But they rec ognize the evacuation as a measure consistent with the war pattern, and they do not complain. They are expressing eagerness to get settled in their new homes and to start working again for the American Red Cross.” “No one with a knowledge of church history, with a deep percep tion of the World’s need, and with a realizing sense in his own life of the living resources in the Christian heritage and-faith, believes that mis sions are ‘done for’,” says Dr. Charles H. Fahs, curator of the Missionary Research Library, New York city, in a recent -study of the effect of the war on Christian mis sions. “Missions may be radically changed in methods to be used, in type and training of personnel de manded, and in geographical range of effort. As the expanding edge oi the Christian church their future is as assured as is the future of Chris tianity itself . . . College, theological and other students are sensing the international situation as a work revolution. For many of these stud ents, missions, as a w'orld-w'ide out reach of Christian motives and min istry, have come to have a new re levance to the vast panorama ol human tragedy.” When Christian missionaries re turn to Malaya and the Netherlands East Indies after - e war, they will find that some churches have been bombed, that some schools have been closed, and they will hear stories of tragedy and of heroism; but they will also find the Christian community intact and the gospel message being preached, according to Bishop Edwin F. Lee, of the Methodist church, who was recently forced with his missionaries from Singapore. Before leaving, Bishop Lee appointed Chinese, Malay and Indian superintendents to have churge of the churches and schools in Malaya and vicinity, and he be lieves that "we will find (after the war) that the church we have been building through fifty-six years -has been carried on by these God-fearing and God-serving men and the pas tors under them. We will find a Christian deposit not in buildings but in Christian personality and in the acts of modern apostles.’’ According to the Society for the Propogation of the Faith, the work of training young Chine for the Catholic priesthood is continuing despite the war in China. In 1940, 103 Chinese priests were ordained. In the same year 594 major semi naries were studying theology, and boys in the minor seminaries num COUNTY HEALTH CHAMPS CHOSEN Jean Bostian, Of Audubon, And Norwood Bender, Of Myrtle Grove, Selected Jean Bostian, 14-year-old Audu bon girl, and Norwood Bender, 14, of Myrtle Grove, were Saturday selected as 1942 County Health Queen and King by Dr. A. H. Elliot from among 18 contestants. The Audubon girl won first place among the Senior 4.H club girls with a score of 97. Young Bender won among the Senior boys with the score of 98. The final judging of the New Hanover 4-H Health contest was held in the County Health office Saturday morning. Those receiving the highest scores in the Junior group were Eleanor Sneeden of Bradley’s Creek, first place, and Ann Jordan! of East Wilmington, second place. More than 200 4-H boys and girls kept their health records during the year, 18 of which were entered in the final county contest. The 4-H Health contest is open to every 4-H club boy and girl in the county. Each member is given an opportunity to check on his health habits and to develop his or her body so that he or she will be the best exhibit. Food hab its, health habits and personal ap pearance are checked each week. The following Health Creed is adopted by each 4-H member en tering the Health contest: “My body is the temple of my soul, therefore, I will keep my body clean within and without; I will breathe pure air and I will live in the sunlight; I will do no act that might endanger the health | of others; I will try to learn and practice the rules of healthy liv ing; I will work and rest and play at the right times and in the right way, so that my mind will be strong and my body healthy, and so that I will lead a useful life and be an honor to my par ents, to my friends, and to my country.” Miss Ann Mason, county home demonstration agent, and the county 4-H club members said they appreciated the time and in terest Dr. EUiot and Miss Rae Kaufer, of the JJ. S. Health De partment, devoted to the contest. 2 -v C. D.

J. Lynn Fredenburgh, managing editor, said that curtailment of advertisements and increased costs of operation brought on by the war made it impossible to continue to publish. bered 5,356. These numbers indi cates an increasing number of ordi nations each year. The Chinese hierarchy now administers sixteen vicariates and nine apostolic perfec tures, while the number of Chinese priests is 2,091. The executive board of the United Lutheran church in America recent ly adopted resolutions of admiration for the stand of the Lutheran bishop: and clergy of Norway against Nazi efforts to control their utterances. “We deplore the fact,” said the rs clutions, “that any government should exhibit bitter hostility to those whose high duty it is to bring spiritual comfort and strength to the souls of men. Any land which closes its churches and stifles its prophets is inviting inevitable doom. We record with warmest admiration the stand taken by our Lutheran brethren in Norway who refused to permit themselves to be used as un worthy tools of a ruthless dictator ship, preferring any penalty rather than betrayal of the high trust com mitted to them in their ordination vows.” Federated Women’s Clubs To Compete For Prizes (Continued from Page Eleven) they study conditions in their own communities and help to create a public opinion that will encourage fair adjustments of differences be tween producer and labor and se cure harmonious cooperation — as one way to keep the production lines moving. That North Carolina clubwomen are aware of the importance of hemisphere solidarity is revealed by a casual glance at the report of Mrs. Hilton West of Greensboro, the chairman of International Rela tions for last year. Hundreds of clubwomen studied the South American countries and learned not only of their geography and culture but of their economic rela tionship to North American coun tries. Mrs. J. H. B. Moore of Greenville, the new chairman of International Relations, while work ing in headquarters last week, stated that her program for the year will stress a continuance of this study. Another important subject she is emphasizing in her suggested pro gram is that of the'various propos ed peace plans. “It would be hard to find a clubwoman who does not recognize the necessity for some sort of world organization for law and order,” she said, “and we must study the details of proposed plans and try to determine which one we should support.” From the office of the Federa tion’s president, Mrs. P. R. Rankin, in Mount Gilead, comes announce ment of the dates of four import ant events. The annual June meet ing of the executive board will take place in Mount Gilead on June 11 12. The Council-Institute held an nually in Raleigh is scheduled for September 29-30. The 1943 conven tion will be held in High Point i April 27-29, and the next General Federation convention will take j place in Indianapolis May 10-14. Mrs. Rankin continues to be in ’ demand for speaking engagements. ■ She spoke to the Woman’s club at ! Peachland on Tu'esday, and is to address the Yadkinville Woman's club ^n May 28. Mrs. J. C. Layton, chairman of ' the public welfare department of the Sorosis in Wilmington, made a report the other day which proves : that statistics are sometimes news, interesting news. Her depart ment’s clinic had in one year serv ed 680 persons. It had provided 2,232 cans of milk, 581 cans of vegetables, 368 boxes of cereal, spent $447 for fresh milk, bought medical supplies, and spent a to tal in all of $649. A “well baby” clinic had been conducted every Wednesday, with a pediatrician and a trained nurse. The mother was advised as to care and treatment of the child and when she could not provide proper diet, the clinic sup plied it. After investigation, 107 mothers to be had been supplied a quart of fresh milk dairy. Trans portation was furnished to take babies, mothers and pre-natal cases to and from the clinic. -V Brick Work Completed On Addition To Power Plant At Southport SOUTHPORT, May 23.—All brick work on the $91,142 addition to the power plant here, which will provide electricity for the Na val Inshore patrol base at Fort Caswell and other war activities in this area, has been substantially completed and workmen are now laying foundations for the genera tors, C. L. Vickers of Richmond, regional engineer for the Federal Works agency, said Saturday. The cost of construction and equipment for the addition, spon sored by the city of Southport, is financed through a Federal Works agency grant of $46,142 and a loan of $45,000. Work on the project was started on March 9 by S. W. Spencer, the general contractor, and is sched uled to be completed by August 15. 2 -V The bureau of medicine and sur gery of the Navy Department was organized in 1842.
