THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER
THURSDAY,
Two Waynesville
Girls Have Roles
In College Play
Grace Leatherwood, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Leatherwood,
of Waynesville, and a graduate of
the Waynesville High School, and
Alma Jackson,, daughter of Mrs.
R. W, Jackson, of Waynesville, and
also a graduate of the Waynesville
High School, both have important
parts in Owen Davis's Pulitzer
prize play, Iceland, which the Dra
matic Club of Western Carolina
Teachers College is presenting at
the college auditorium at Cuilo
whee, Friday evening, May 24, at
eight o'clock.
Iceland, the second play to be
sponsored by the Dramatic Club
this year, was considered a land
mark in American drama when it
was first produced at a New York
theater a few years ago. It is a
play of characterization. Stern
tight-tipped, morose New England
characters play their parts against
the drab, cheerless background of
a New England farm-house isolat
ed in its snowbound loneliness.
Miss Leatherwood and Miss
Jackson are both sophomores in
college and both are active in cam
pus activities. Miss Leatherwood
was assistant director of the Dra
matic Club play. The Whole
Town's Talking, produced in April.
The play is being directed by
Miss Mabel Tyree, instructor of
English and German in the college
and sponsor of the club.
The public is invited to attend.
An Idaho flying instructor's
glasses fell off as he leaned over
the cockpit but he watched them
fall and was able to find them af
ter he landed .What we can't figure
out is why a fellow who can see
that well needs glasses.
Did you notice for the past season,
nearly every man't hat had a cute
little feather in it? First thing
you know the boys will be wearing
humming birds.
FFA Boys Buy
Purebred Hogs
Plan Underway To Place
Many Purebreds In County
By New Method
The Smoky Mountains National
Park chapter, Future Farmers of
America, recently brought into the
community ten purebred Poland
China and Duroc Jersey gilts. The
hogs were bought from the Uni
versity of Tennessee and the object
I is to increase the number of high
i producing purebred hogs in the sec
tion. All the gilts were from high
producing sows owned by the uni
versity. The Durocs were from
record of merit sows, which means
that the sows average eight pigs
per litter and the pigs must weigh
forty pounds or above when six
weeks old. The dam of one of the
pigs is one of 340 sows in the
United States making the "Regis-
'ter of Merit" herd book.
The gilts Were bought by the
chapter and re-sold to members on
a time plan, financed by the local
bank. The plan is that when the
original gilts farrow he owner is
to let another member of the chap
ter have a gilt who will replace the
hog when his gilt farrows. By
such a method the number of pure
bred high-producing hogs in the
county will be increased at a rapid
rate. All participants in the plan
agree, of course, to breed their
gilts only to purebreds. The
chapter is buying a purebred boar
of high-ranking stock and this
stock hog will be available to the
members of the chapter as well
as to any other person who wishes
to use him.
Those buying the gilts were:
Keith Ketner, Edgar Norman,
Linden Turpin, Raymond Coward,
Elmer Hendrix, Robert Hosoflook,
Ralph Hendrix, Ernest Sutton,
Neal Leatherwood and Bob Jordan.

Jr., floor plan chairman, has drawn
up a plan by which Visitors to the

walk leading to the main portion
of the auditorium in which these
sections will be displayed.
Of special interest to the grow-
ing number who experiment with
flower arrangements, will be a class
displayed in shadow boxes, indi
vidually lighted, in which flowers
of analgous, that is related colors
will be arranged. Each contest
ant will be given a range of the
color spectrum on which to base
her exhibit. Reproductions of the
spectrum will be posted by this
class so that visitors can
judge for themselves the success
and interest of the arrangement.
