THE FRANKUN PEE3S AND Our Great America 6y7hoH WV EVPEKTS FOUND THAT H ONE ACRE OF "TREES may drop as many as 6.qoo.ooq seeds for VkfA NEW TREES IN A SINGLE WstsA-r SEASON IiDsHsMEsBsIHsBL A A- taJ Gold In The At Community Theatre Three Performances For Highlands Museum To Be Given The Highlands Community the atre will give three evening per formances of "Gold in the Hills," od "The Dead Sister's Secret," for the benefit of the Highlands Mu seum on Tuesday, Wednesday amd Thursday, August 25, 26 and 27. Due to the various restrictions of the war, the theatre group has been forced to curtail its activi ties for the duration, and these performances under the direction of Thomas K. Fitzpatrick, will be the only offerings of the Com munity theatre for . the season. However, according to a state ment from the Board of Direc tors, the theatre will continue to function to the limit of its abil ity, amd is anxious to be of ser vice and entertainment to the community. "Gold in the Hills" is being given as benefit performances for the museum as a gesture of co operation between the two ma jor cultural units of the summer season, with the expectation from both groups that in the future the two activities wil be evers further coordinated. In the absence of Arthur Little, who has been president - director of the theatre for the pas two years, the theatre is fortunate to have Mr. Thomas K. Fitzpatrick as director. Mr. Fitzpatrick di rected "Dulcy," the first presen tation of the Community theatre after the group was organized three years ago. He has had act ing and directing experience in the East and at Clemson college, where he was for several years before accepting his present po sition as professor of architec ture at -. Rice Institute, Houston, Tex. lr addition to his theatre duties, he is director of the . Mu seum this year. Proving Worth In a statement to the press, Mr. Fitzpatrick said: "Once again the Highlands Little Theatre is proving its worth as an important Dart of the community- life of the town of Highlands. The officers of the Little Theatre have recently offered to sponsor benefit per formances to promote the work of the Highlands Museum. The total proceeds of the performances are to be given to the museum. The performances will be given ir the Museum building, and the outdoor theatre of . the Museum will be used for all rehearsals. It is, in deed gratifying to find such close cooperation between these two groups, each unselfishly supple menting the work of the other, and it is also a great pleasure to see the Museum building be ing used for a typical commun ity venture. It is hoped that still more uses will be found for this building, si) that it will eventu ally develop as a true cultural center for Highlands. As director of the Museum, I hope this ture will develop a strong bond between the Highlands Little Theatre and the Museum, so that they may both progress to the position of importance which they both deserve. And it is hoped that the people of High lands will continue to support both of these civic units as they have so generously in the past." Tickets to the three perform ances of "Gold in the Hills" will be on sale through Monday. Aug ust 17, from Museum members and patrons. After that date they will be on sale at a ticket booth in front of the postoffice. Es ther Cunningham, Mary Pugh, Marguerite Hodgson and A nr. Black is the committee in charge of ticket sales.

French Poodle Helps Her Mistress Solve Transportation Problem Highlands summer people have many ways of meeting the gaso line and rubber shortage, but one of the most unique is the French poodle and cart outfit owned by Miss Becky White of Thomas ville, Ga. The first appearance of the dog and cart on the village streets created quite a sensation ; the poodle with its heavy coat of coal-black curly hair and the dark green cart presenting a striking color combination. Through the daily use of the dog and cart for transportating various and sundry parcels, Miss White is provingvthat the French poodle is an all-around useful dog. Miss White said, "most people seem to have the mistaken idea that French poodle i are lapdogs, forgetting the fact that they were bred to be retrievers and cart dogs and were used as circus performers much later on." Miss White also said "for the benefit of 'the ladies who sigh 'poor lit tle thing', may I say that Tatter isn't little, weighing a good fifty pounds, and doesn't consider her self poor. She loves the feeling of responsibility the cart gives her. I am reviving an old custom, not starting a new one, and for the first time in her life my pooch is earning her keep! And saving gas and tires! Miss White is spending the sum mer here with her mother, Mrs. Plecidia White, at their cottage 'Topside'' on Martha's Lane. She is a niece of Miss Rebecca Bridg er of Tarboro, who also owns a summer home here. Miss White is the author of a children's story book, which contains her own original illustrations. Kyle By MRS.

Poet's Corner The day had been a rainy one, The clouds enclosed the shining sun, Far and near the battle cry Had swept the land, the seta, the sky ; It seemed that God bad left us here To bear our burdens and conquer fear, But then as day began to die, A scene of beauty met my eye; For lo! the dripping rain did cease And on the earth there fell a peace Tliat only God could ever give To those of us who with Him live. To the West a sea of blue Added lustre with' it's hue, Emerald green enwrapped the world A glorious banner now unfurled. 1 drank and drank the cup of love That He had given from .above "Oh, God,'" 1 then began to pray "Doubt has lured nie on this day; But now I know that through pain, Sunshine will always follow rain, And if we seek amid the dark, We're apt to find a singing lark; The world's bright lights may soon grow dim, But the sun will shine if we love Him ! Mildred K. Roper. REVIVAL AT SUGAR FORK Beginning Sunday, August 9, there will be a revival at the Sugarfork Baptist Church. The Rev.

MAMA'S LITTLE BOY You say he can't stand the army, "The life is loo rough" how sad ! Do you think that he's any better Than some other mother's lad ? You .brought him up like a baby, He doesn't smoke or drink, is your brag ; If all the others were like him Well, what would become of our Flag? You say, let the roughnecks do the fighting; They are used to beans aJid stew ; But 1 am glad I'm classed with the roughnecks, Who "fight for the Red, White and Blue! You say his- girl couldn't bear to send Her sweetheart out with the rest ; Do you think that she'll be proud of him When she feels the Japs' breath on her breast They go to drill in bad weather, Come in with a grin on their face, While your Darling sits down in the parlor And lets a man .fight in his place. You're right, we do smoke amd gamble, But we fight as our forefathers did; So go warm the milk for his God that we don't need your kid! KEEr'EM FLYING! LAND EXCHANGE NOTICE Mrs. M attic. H.
