RIGGAN HENDERSON VISITOR 94-Year-Old Citizen of Vaughan Much More Active Than Many People Younger A viitor to Henderson today was Charles S. Riggan, 94-year-old citizen of Vaughan, in Warren county, a gentleman of many years on this earth, but whose activity and interest in things and people are more be coming to those forty years his junior. Mr. Riggan is a Confederate vetean, one of the last survivors of the Civil War. He has recently been written about generously in State publications and his remarkable pep and vim, de spite his years, have been a marvel to his acquaintances. He was a guest here today of W. R. Vaughan, Sea board agent here, who is a native of the Vaughan community, and has| known Mr. Riggan for the last half a century and more. Mr. Riggan attended the June ger man at Rocky Mount last year, and danced with the others most of the night, and got back home after sun rise next morning, seemingly none the worse for his experience. Mr. Riggan was jmffing away at his cigar when seen today, and has never lost his taste for a good smoke, nor his great interest in people and n things going on aikout him. He is known and loved by all those who en joy his acquaintance. shakesperepTay OFFEREDFEB’Y 26 Avon Players Signed for Performance in High School Auditorium Prof. W. D. Payne, principal of Henderson high school, announced to day that the Avon Players, one of the last remaining professional theatrical companies touring America, will pre sent “The Merchant of Venice,” one of the most famous of the plays of the immortal William Shakespere, in the high school auditorium on Friday evening of next week, February 26. The Avon players come here the same week they appear at Duke Uni versity, Meredith College and Wake Forest College, offering an opportun ity to see one of Shakespeare’s great productions done by what i s charao terized as “the very finest talent now touring our country.” The Avon Players are headed by Joseph Selman a dean of the Ameri rican stage. Mr. Selman’s background includes long association with such renowned stars of the stage as Mrs. Fiske, with whom he repeatedly tour ed America, and in leading Broadway v oles in such modern plays as "The Bat,” “Three Faces East” and in sev eral productions of the inimitable George M. Cohan. Through his long association with the modern stage, Mr. Selman has long realized that Shakespeare runs the gamut of all dramas, and there fore if an actor can play Shakespere he will, in the end, be more adept in modern plays. In bringing "The Merchant of Ven ice” to Henderson, Mr. Selman has in jected into the play the technique of the theatre today, thus adding to the cultural and educational influences of the words of the immortal bard, a highly entertaining and gripping in terest, appealing to those who are en tirely unfamiliar with Shakespeare, and to those who love the works of Shakespeare he brings new delights. In the Avon company, which is re- Jplenctent with i lovely costuming, scenery and lighting effects, are an aggregation of young and talented players of th e legitimate stage.

The clinic was under auspices of the Vance County Health Department, and was one of the periodic clinics being conducted in the county, in which free examinations and advice are given by those in charge. Dr. Gregg said the same service had been attempted for white women, but very few had ever attended these. Ef forts are being made to have the clinics for white women monthly, the same as for the colored, but with nothing like so large an attendance. When held, they are conducted at Maria Parham hospital, with some local physician in charge.

Use it with judgment. The 5740 individual records now in our files give you a guide to whiskey-kindness. A world-famous psychologist conducted a 41-day whiskey research with average every-day men. Daily observation and ex amination proved that normal use of Crowns did not interfere with their sleep. Appetites were apparently unaffected. Physical condition good all next day. "Morning-after” effects negligible. So, use Crowns moderately, and they should be equally kind to you.
