Campbell Speaker For DAR The Edenton Tea Party of the Daughters of the American Revo lution held its regular meeting Wednesday of last week in the Iredell house. After the business meeting a provocative talk cen tering around National Library Week was given by Mrs. J. Rob ert Campbell of Plymouth. Mrs. Campbell is chairman of the reg ional board of the Pettigrew Regional Library; chairman of the Washington County board of trustees and Washington County chairman for National Library Week, which is being celebrated April 12-18. According to the speaker, many national leaders in various fields such as religion, medicine, busi ness, sociology, political science, guidance and education are con cerned over the # general restless ness and nervous tension of many Americans as well as their un concern over being informed on current affairs and the conse quences of present economic con ditions. Mrs. Campbell gave some in teresting statistics: 45,000,000 aspirin tablets arc consumed dai ly; 20,000,000 sleeping tablets and 20,000,000 more get-awake pills are taken each day: and 40,000,r 000 tranquilizers are gulped each day by Americans. She stated that even though we are -the wealthiest nation in history, these figures do not sound as though we were the happiest. The speaker went on to say that we should be the best read and best informed country in the *take 'em away. .on your two weeks with pay Your vacation fun begins the minute you come in to see and select from our large group of play-perfect sportswear... 3jß.

She stated that the British read three times as much as-we do. Mr. Campbell asked pertinent questions of those present at the DAR meeting such as “Do you know where the money comes from that finances your local li brary program?” “Do you know that there is a strong Negro li brary in Edenton and do you know where it is?” Do you un derstand the service that the two . bookmobiles give in Chowan, Tyrrell and Washington coun ties?” She requested that those who did not know the answers make it their business to find out. After a delightful social hour with Mrs. Ralph Parrish and Mrs. John Bond as hostesses, the meeting adjourned. Leigh Dobson In Play At Greenville “Kiss Me, Kate,” popular op eretta by Cole Porter, will be presented at East Carolina Col lege April 21, 22, and 23. as the annual spring musical sponsored by the Student Government As sociation. Performances at 8 P. M., in the McGinnis auditor ium are expected to attract ca pacity audiences from Greenville and other localities in Eastern North Carolina. A cast of fourteen students, playing major roles, a 35-piece , orchestra, a chorus of men and women, and a corps of dancers will appear in the production. Miss Leigh Dobson of Edenton will play one of the important : roles in the play. ‘Springtime’ Will Be Presented At School April 24th What happens when an Ameri can girl impersonates a Euro pean baroness? What happens when the real baroness arrives and the American is revealed as an imposter? It is around these questions that the plot of “Springtime,” Edenton Junior- Senior High School’s operetta for 1959, revolves. “Springtime” is a modern adaptation of “Das Fruhlings madel,” a well known German operetta by Franz Steiner. Af ter World War 11, one of the American music publishing | houses assumed the copyrights of a number of well known Ger [ man operettas, modernized them in translation, adapted piano Fcores from the original orches trations and made them avail able for American production for the first time. “Spring time”-is one of these operettas, and musicians in the audience will find the score definitely reminiscent of Lehar and Strauss in parts. “Springtime” tells the love story of Phoebe Rand, a care taker’s daughter, and Lee Coop er, nephew of the wealthy own er of an estate on Long Island. It is Lee who persuades Phoebe to join the week-end party there by impersonating the missing baroness, choruses of guests, servants and Lee’s college friends provide a tuneful back ground and “Springtime” should provide an enjoyable evening’s entertainment. The performance will be giv en in the auditorium of the Junior-Senior High School on the night of Friday, April 24, at 8 o’clock. A small admission will be charged.
