SHUFORD, (left), state labor commissioner, dis cussed strengthening North Carolina labor laws with Representative Carleton Faler of the CIO Paperworkers union who was in Washing ton last Thursday and Friday for the 20th national conference on labor legislation.

District Nurses To Hear President Of State Association Miss Josephine Kerr, president of the North Carolina State Nurses’ association, will be the speaker at the district No. 1 meeting, Wednes day, March 10, at 4 p. m. at the Buncombe county court house, Asheville. Miss Kerr is administrative assis tant at the Charlotte Memorial hos pital. In 1952 she became presi dent of the association and was re elected unanimously at the Char lotte convention last fall, an indi cation of the appreciation which the more than 3,600 members have for her leadership. In 1930 she was named to the board of nurse examiners, made its president in 1935, and served in this office for the next ten years. Registered nurses in Transylva nia, whether they are members of the association or not, are invited to attend the meeting. Inactive and retired registered nurses are also invited. District officials point out that Miss Kerr, truly a dedicated mem ber of her profession, considers it full of opportunities for young women who are smart and are look ing for work that is rewarding in every way. She advocates better training for nurses, which means better care for the patient, the ul timate aim of all nurses.

From A Reporter’s Notebook By FRANCES WALKER March wasn’t exactly ushered in with a warm, caressing wind or the singing of spring songs. The sprinkling of snow was cheered by the youngsters whose only regret was that the white stuff wasn’t sufficient for sled ding or getting out of school. It got no cheers from this corner which has been crying for snow for months now. It’s a little late in the season to be wishing for a snow and remember what a woman’s privilege is. So happen ed the snow came on Monday, the very day the Asheville morn ing paper had reprinted my last week’s squib about winter bow ing out with February. Not very good timing, was it? I stick to my guns, though. Spring is knock ing on the back door. I doubt that very many persons in the county subscribe to the trade publication, Manufacturer’s Rec ord. However, when they do a bang up job like the one on North Caro lina recently, it is regrettable they don’t have wider circulation. The Advertising Division of the Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment has remedied this and made it possible for everyone to secure a coyp of the lengthy article which covers the state from A to Z and back again. The magazine made it possible to have these reprints done and they will be mailed free for the asking from the department in Raleigh. The publicity folks have made it into an attractive booklet with a cover which contains four perfectly beautiful color prints — two inside and two outside on the front and back. This booklet should certainly be in every library and kept on file for future reference concerning Greater North Carolina. With the coming of the Lenten season our hearts and minds turn to Easter. It is indeed ap propriate that the annual World Day of Prayer service is held the first Friday during Lent. Women in 118 countries gather together and in their own native tongues pray to the Father who knows and understands them all, ask ing for that one fervent desire, a lasting peace on earth. This year the World Day of Prayer service was written by an Indian woman, whose work in Christian education has done much for the betterment of her sex in that poverty stricken country. World Day of Prayer will be observed in the Presbyterian church here this Friday, and women of all faiths and creeds are invited. Lillian Kallir, the young pianist who was soloist during one of the Transylvania Music camp concerts last summer, is headed for the top. Just before playing here she had been on a tour of France in one of the National Music League’s ex change deals, where young artists of this country and others are ex changed much like the world stu dent program. Last Monday night Miss Kallir and Blanche Tarjus, the French woman who toured Ameri ca on the same exchange, joined to gether in a momentous concert. They played, Lilian the piano, and her French counterpart the violin, to a wonderful audience in Carne gie Hall. This concert included the world premiere of Alan Hovhaness’ Concerto No. 5 for Piano and Strings. Quite a feather in the cap cf this young lady, who endeared herseff to all who met her here last summer. Now that we are looking to ward Easter, some young fry might be interested in knowing how the bunny came to be asso ciated with this holiday. The rabbit, or hare, is a symbol of the moon, and the date of Easter is governed by the moon. The bun ny came into the Easter picture because of the fact that rabbits are born with their eyes open. According to an old superstition the rabbit always has its eyes open. Hence it became identified with the full moon. Too, the Egyp tian word for hare was “un” which also means “to open” or “the opener.” As opener of the new year at Easter time—spring being the time when most vege tation is young or new — the hare became associated with the egg, symbol of resurrection, as Easter symbols. Asheville Community Theatre could certainly sit back and rest ^n their laurels, if they had a mind "o, after last week’s production of “Idiot’s Delight.” This serious com edy by Robert Sherwood has a cast if 25 and is an extremely difficult play to give, especially in the pro fessional manner it was executed by ACT. “Idiot’s Delight” is an odd story about a rather sordid inter national group which is caught on the Swiss-Austrian border on the eve of World War II. It contains in the story a great deal of humor, also drama, pathos, suspense and even has music and dancing. One elderly lady who was coming out of the auditorium behind us Friday night was heard to remark, “The most delightful evening I’ve spent in a long time.” “Night Must Fall,” as local Little Theatre patrons will re call, was the last play given dur ing the group’s first and very ambitious season. It was very well done here, too, taking into con sideration the many problems which beset the Little Theatre its first year. That was three sea sons ago, and it seems “Night Must Fall” is now coming into its own as a popular Little The atre selection. Asheville is giv ing it for their next play, and Charlotte Little Theatre is giv ing it either this week or next. Looks as if we were first, again! When Ira Armfield was working on his talk for the Western Caroli na Press group last Saturday he asked me if I knew any jokes he could include in it. Immediately I dug into a file where I keep some items on reserve — there are slim weeks, column wise as the readers so well know. Anyway, Ira selected this as being his favorite joke in the group: A little American girl and a lit tle Polish boy, living in the same neighborhood, had become very good friends. They played together constantly and jabbered and laugh ed merrily through many games and childish antics. As her aunt paused to give the usual hand-out of cookies to them one day she re SERVICES SET BY LUTHERANS Special Series To Last Until Easter. Public Is Invited To Attend The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd will begin a spe cial series of Sunday evening ves per services on this Sunday, March 7th, 7 p. m., to extend until Easter the Rev. D. F. Cooper announces. Special messages will be brought at both the morning and evening services during this period with themes relating to the Christian season of Lent, leading up to a week of services during Holy Week, Ap marked: “How is it that you two play together so well — you are an American and speak English — while he is Polish and cannot speak your language, yet you jabber to gether constantly.” “That’s easy,” the little girl said, “we both laugh in the same lan guage.” ril 12-16, the announcement stated. All services will he open to the public. Theme for the messages to be brought by Pastor Cooper at the 11 a. m. services during this period will be “That One Should Die/’ with the following weekly subjects: “On God’s Side;” “The Lord’s Look;” “The Supreme Question;” “Let Him Be Crucified;” “Weep for Yourselves;” and “Looking To Je sus.” Theme for the Sunday evening vesper programs will be “Faith Foundations,” with the following subjects to be considered: “The Claim of God;” “The Way of For giveness;” “The Rending of the Veil;” “The Cross As Man’s De sign;” “The Cross as God’s De sign;” and “From The Wounds of Christ.” The morning services during March will be broadcast over the local station, WPNF.
