THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
With only one redeeming
feature—fewer deaths—the
1950 highway-street accident
record is going from bad to
worse in this county. There
have been fifty more acci
dents this year than last,
twenty-five more persons in
jured and the property loss
is greater by more than
810,000.
The following tabulation;,
offer a comparison of the ac
cident trend: first, by corres
ponding weeks in this year
and last and for each year to
the present time.

(Continued frorr page one)
On tin matter of status, he said,
it is important that both parents
and teachers make the child feel
In has a place in society. After
a child leaches me adolescent
age, Mr Fuller said, it would help
to have them in on decisions, es
pecially those concerning large
purchases ll would help to give
i the. m a feeling of belonging.
Anothei thing he warned both
: parents and teachers against, was
j the urge to trap a child and put
i him in a position where he would
j be tempted or even forced to tell
a lie.

ed to his home for several years,
has been quite ill for about two
weeks.

on the Broadway theatre and a handful of its topmost personalities
arriving soon at the Watts Theatre Sunday for three days. Bette
Davis, reigning queen of the New York theatre, meets up with a
fledgling' artress with more talent than scruples. She’s Anne Baxter,
bent for the top of her profession, no matter what it costs whom. In
the Darryl E. Zamick production, too. are George Sanders, Celeste
Holm, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Gregory Katoff, Thelma Ritter
Marilyn Monroe, Barbara Bates and Walter Hampden. Joseph L
Mankiewicz wrote and directed for Twentieth Century-Fox.

Prosont Ploy Friday I\ifslit
"He Couldn't Marry Five" is
the amusing title of the three
act comedy to lie produced by
the Junior Class of Bear Grass
High School. It will take place in
the Auditorium on the evening of
December first. The title de
scribes the major plot of the play
which is all about a young man
who goes to visit a family with
five eligible daughters and falls
in love with each and every one
nl them! To make things worse,
the sisters all fall in love with
the young man—or think they
do. If this isn't a complicated sit
uation fur any young man to find
I himself in, we'd like to know
j what is. It Seems hopeless, but
| after many laughable situations,
I everything finally straightens out
to everybody's satisfaction
through the common sense advice
of the girls' grandmother. Those
taking part in the play are Joyce
Harris, the mother, James Aus
bon, the father, April, the eldest
daughter. May, the next daughter,
June, the next in line, Taris, the
! next, and last but not least comes
Little Leona, the little cowgirl
of the family. The Grandmother
is portrayed by Louise Bowen,
and the fellow doing all the
[courting is Jimmy Terry, as Don
ald Regan. The most peculiar one
is Aunt Etta, the old maid.
The curtain rises promptly a*
eight o’clock. The tickets are 35
cents for adults and 20 cents for
elementary students. Remember
the date, and don't let anything
1 else interfere with vour coming
to see “He Couldn't Marry Five."
Elbert Shannon Griffin, son of
Mr Elbert Griffin, is receiving
treatment in Shriners Hospital in
Greenville, South Carolina. He
is expected to undergo treatment
there for at least four months.
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Olmstead of
I Portsmouth visited Mrs. Olm
! stead’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bob
Taylor, here over the week-end.
