Final Play To Be Presented Here On August 27th Dr. Anderson Scientist, Compiles New Reader Highlands Little Theatre Building Fund Growing At a recent ' meeting called by the board of directors of The Highlands Little Theatre for con triDutor.s to the building fund a financial statement was given and an outline of plans made, which have been made public, with the result that a building fund cam paign is now underway. Through the trustees of the base ball grounds, the Community The atre will be able to lease the plot of ground at the northwest corner of the ball park for their prospec tive building, which will also be a community building available for entertainments of all sort lec tures, concerts and conventions. The Theatre feels that it has been especially fortunate hThaving the cooperation of the trustees in so- curing this delightful site. To date the Theatre building fund totals slightly over $1,100. Local contractors estimate that the proposed buildings, the plans for which have been donated by Her bert C. Millkey, will cost $3,000, exclusive of interior finishing and equipment.

Anderson, of Red.Win'g, Minn., at one time a resident of High lands. This book is dedicated to the author's wife, . "Lydia, My Sweetheart of the Valley", and carries her photograph in color as well as many other full-colored illustrations throughout its . 625 pages. . The quiet charm and variety of literary selections in the McGuffey Readers, which ended with the Sixth, have been moulding factors in many American lives, and Dr. Anderson's Seventh Reader will no doubt strike a responsive chord in the hearts of many whose early education was acquired through the McGuffey Readers, and who, like Dr. Anderson, deplored the - fact that there was no Seventh. Keen ly disappointed in the lack of a Seventh Reader, Dr. Anderson has been able in his late years to real ize a lifelong ideal by adding to the. series a volume, of his own short stories, collected over a period of 50 years. In the Seventh Reader will be found the life of early Minnesota in the days the McGuf fey Readers were being used in its country schools, and the book is a sort of continuation of these Readers which have been termed by Dr. Anderson a "Primer of Life" series. Dr. Anderson was bonn in Red Wing, Minn., in 1862. After gradu ating from the University of Min nesota with both his Bachelor and Master , of Science degrees, he studied in Munich, Germany, and in 1895 received his Doctor's de greei His discovery of the method of exploding starch granules, which led to the commercial prod ucts of puffed rice and puffed wheat, often termed -the "Eighth Wonder of the World", made Dr. Anderson world famous. He built and for a number of years occu pied the home on Fifth street here which is now the summer home of the Sullivan .family of Anderson, S. C. Dr. Anderson's daughter and son -in-iaw, Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Sar gent and their two children own a summer homp here. The' Highlands Community. The atre will close this season with a production of "Escape Me Never" on Wednesday, August 27, at a matinee performance only. This play, made famous by Elizabeth Benjner on stage and in the mo iei is abqut a gamin girl .and her ben efactor who get involved with an English family of the greatest re spectability. From a technical stand point - this play will be the most ambitious attempt of the Theatre to date and promises I to be a tremendous success. .

The ovation given her at the final cur tain' was an indication of the ap preciation the audience felt. The cast expressed its own apprecia tion, not only for her polished acting, but for her capable coopera tion in stepping into the role at a late date. . ' .

Potts advises that letters and cards not properly stamped often miss a mail. Post cards going to Canada mailed with a one cent stamp seem to be the chief offenders at this time, since cards mailed by those, having 'no postoffice box have to be held until the party mailing them can be located, or mailed with postage due. However, short paid foreign mail is subject to double postage collected from the addressee. So if a postcard is mailed to Canada with a one cent stamp, there will be four cents collected from the addressee. Another thing that, often holds up mail in the postoffice is the incorrect placing of stamps on let ters as well as not using stomps of the correct denomination. . For instance; Mr. Potts said air mail stamps and stickers should always be used on air mail letters; spe cial delivery stamps on special de livery letters, and three cent stamps on letters instead of three one cent stamps. If the one cent stamps just must be used, then Postmaster Potts said it would greatly facilitate matters if the stamps are placed side by side the long way of the envelope and not lengthwise across the end of the envelope. Why not give -the overworked postal employees a' break by plac ing stamps of the correct dernoni- nation on all of our mail? SclmMa Change " Mail via Dillard, Ga., is now leav ing at 920 in the mornings and at 3:15 in the afternoons. Postmaster Potts said all mail for this route must be posted by 9 and 3 o'clock. Mail arrivals from Dillard are 10 a. m. and 4:55 p. m. There is no Sunday mail on this route, and the hours quoted are daylight sa ing time.
