'Skidding'To Be Newest Vehicle Of Local Group Every person who enjoyed "Applesauce", recently given by the Murphy Community Players, will be delighted with "Skidding", the next production to ho wivon hv thic ?? ??" benefit of the Murphy Carneg'e Library on Tuesday even in*, Oct. 5. I **SKi<lclinsr** is a genuine American comedy full of clever lines and lov-( able characters. For three acts the I audience laughs at the 15-year old brother, "Andy Hardy" (played by George Dyer); Mrs. O. K. Madden, as Ma Hardy, who is too dumb to understand party machinery in polit.es. but who can cook and run a house; ?:i Kstelle Hardy Campbell, Mrs. Hardy's oldest married daughter, (portrayed by Mrs. Tom Case) who has run home to mother because her husband, George. is neglecting her. The audience will sympathize with the Judge (acted by William Walker) ] in his fight for renomination; with I Aunt Milly, (Mrs. W. Arthur Barber) Mrs. Hardy's school teacher-sister and her efforts to keep peace in the family; and they will be delighted with Marion Hardy, the young sister who has just returned from college (performed by Leuna Tatham) troubled over the choice between a career, and following her heart's desire. They will admire Wayne Trenton . Ill, Marion's boy-friend. (Bill Stans1 jry); and quaint old Grandpa (as no by Kenneth Hayes); and they j will probably agree with Ma Hardy that Myra Hardy Wilcox (Gladys , Hrinklcy) had no busincs- running off and leaving her husband. Everyone who enjoys a pood evening's entertainment will look forward to seeing "Skidding'" Tuesday. Oct. 5. at th'- Strand Tbeatt r. \ loyalty play, the performance will be repealed Ft Kay. Oct.

In this display you ' very ably showed how the church makes possible the business enterprises of the community; gives real estate its value; produced the public schools; built hospitals; laid the country's foundations; and holds the answer to men's personal problems. This kind of publicity for the j church cannot fail of having the ' effect of building up the church and giving it add* d prestige in the 1 community. ' The Scout ha? long been a leader in community building. and is a great a?set to Murphy and Chero- ^ kee County. Success to von W.
