Chapel Hill Native Honored
For Work With Retired Men
A Chapel Hill native has been
cited by the Philadelphia Inquir
er as a man who is making ex
cellent use of his retirement, a
noteworthy accomplishment in
this day and time when retire
ment is often a problem to the
still mentally alert. He is 72-
year-old Charles S. Venable of
Wallingford, Pa., brother of Mrs.
W. C. Coker and Mrs. Nelson
Wescoat of Chapel Hill and son
of the late Francis Preston Ven
able, president of the University
here from 1900 to 1914.
Since his retirement in 1956 as
director of chemical research at
the American Viscose Corporation
at Marcus Hook, Pa., Dr. Ven
able has helped to organize and
direct TEAM, which stands for
Technically Experienced Associ
ates, Mobilized, and which is
made up of 21 retired research
administrators, chemists, engin
eers, and other scientists whose
services are offered free to non
profit organizations and govern
ment agencies.
“We think TEAM is one way
to overcome the deplorable waste
of technical experience and the
tragic erosion of healthy human
beings who have retired but wish
to remain professionally useful,’’
Dr. Venable said in a recent talk
to the American Chemical So
ciety in New York.
“Most retired scientists who
want to keep on making money
can usually do so, as consultants,
for example. TEAM is for those
who prefer to work at an easier
pace and to restrict their work to
projects of public interest. Mem
bers may decline requests for
their services and are free to ac

The organization’s compara
tively small list of members in
cludes eminent scientists and en
gineers. Its chairman is Dr.
Henry L. Cox of Clearwater, Fla.,
former vice president of the Com
Products Refining Co. and a
1914 graduate of UNC. He hopes
to come to Chapel Hill next
spring for the 50th anniversary
reunion of his class.
Other officers are Dr. Venable,
vice chairman; John W. Bodman,
former research director of Lev
er Brothers; Dr. Norman A.
Shepard, former chemical direc
tor of the American Cyanamid
Co., and Dr. Magnus Tigerschi
okl, former vice president of re
search and development for the
Swedish mining firm, Granges
berbolaget.
Dr. Venable outlined the TEAM
program at the 145th national
meeting of the American Chem
ical Society in a panel discus
sion of the utilization of retired
chemists.
“TEAM has two objectives, one
of them unselfish and the other
selfish,” he said. “Our unsel
fish and chief objective is to
avoid the waste of our scientific
competence and to make it avail
able in this time of need lor
guidance in technical matters.
“Our selfish objective is to
avoid human erosion. We have
hobbies and take part in church
and civic affairs like other re
tired people, but that doesn’t
satisfy us. We want to keep afc
tive in the scientific world and
to pursue the interests that have
engaged us in all of our profes
sional lives.”
Dr. Venable said TEAM has
been forced to decline many re
quests for services. Profit-mak
ing companies have clamored for
its help, but its charter prevents
such work. There has also been
a heavy demand from foreign na
tions, but the age of most mem
bers, and the two-to-three-year
jobs involved, rule out most over
seas assignments.
TEAM’S office is at 541 Hunt
ing Ridge Rd., Stamford, Conn.
Membership is open to any re
tired scientist, engineer, or other
qualified person who is prepared
to donate part of his time to the
government and other public and
social agencies acting in the pub
lic welfare. Members pay an
nual dues of $25.
Dr. Venable was bom in Chap
el Hill in 1891 and was graduated
from UNC in 1910. He took an
M.A. degree here in 1911 and a
Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1917. In
his 34 - year association with
American Viscose he earned a
national reputation. One of his
recent awards was a citation
from Philadelphia’s Franklin In
stitute for his contribution in the
establishment of the Hall of
Chemistry in the institute’s sci
ence museum.

Playmakers Are Rehearsing
For ‘Little Mary Sunshine’
Anyone passing by the Play
makers Theatre on the UNC cam
pus for the next two weeks might
think the Playmakers were reviv
ing old movie musicals. Or a
more romantic soul might think
perhaps, that he had been wafted
away on a magic carpet to the
never-never land of chocolate sol
diers and Viennese pastries, com
plete with background music
furnished by Victor Herbert or
Sigmund Romberg.
It is not so, but it is twice as
much fun to hear the Carolina
Playmakers rehearsing for their
first major production of the cur
rent season, “Little Mary Sun
shiny,” a delightful musical spoof
of the aforementioned genre of
operettas.
Casting was completed this
week, and rehearsals are under
way for the Wednesday, October
23, opening. Directed by Foster
Fitz-Simons, with Charles Hor
ton as musical director, the pro
duction will run for six perform
ances, through Sunday, October
27.
Peggy Jones of Durham has
landed the title role of Mary
Potts (alias Little Mary Sun
shine), “our heroine." Miss
Jones has appeared with the Dur-
No Pleasure From
People’s Troubles
“A good newspaperman gets no
pleasure out of reporting the
troubles of others even though
he must often do so,” a Uni
versity journalism professor said
in Brevard last week.
“A reporter who enjoys see
ing people in trouble,” said
Prof. Ken Byerly, a long-time
newspaper publisher, "lias a
tendency to-be unfair. This will
reflect in his writing, and against
himself and his newspaper.”
Mr. Byerly spoke to journal
ism students at 'Brevard College,
and also at Rosman and Brevard
High Schools.

Summer Theatre, and the Grass
Roots Opera Company. A medic
al secretary at Duke Hospital,
this is her first appearance in a
Playmakers production.
The role of Captain Jim War
rington, a Forest Ranger brave
and bold, will be played by Ran
dolph Umberger of Burlington.
He has appeared in numerous
productions on the Playmakers
stage, and will be remembered
for his portrayal of Sky Master
son in last year’s musical, "Guys
and Dolls.”
Muriel Wilson of Durham plays
Madame Ernestine, a glamour
ously dilapidated opera star, and
Robert Ivey, also of Durham,
portrays the comic role of Billy
Jester, one of the Forest Ran
gers.
Others in the cast are: Graham
Pollock, Gatesville; Jan i c e
