And Kermit Hunter has polished up some of the scenes, including a new end.ng. Only a few veterail? of lat year's cast are back, but Director Davis has filled the vacancies with experienced actors. Two of the weak spots in last year's cast havt been strengthened by more ma ture and experienced actors.

S -- w 100 Million Voters To Go To The Poles In 1952 It's Fun To Retire If The Plan Is Good By CYNTHIA LOW IVY AP Newsfeatures Writer NEWARK, N. J The clays of retirement should be a time for fun. Handled sensibly, this period ol life is the time to do things you've always wanted to try but never had the time. So says Ray Giles. In "Begin Now to Enjoy Tomorrow," being published lor the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., he cites numer ous men and women in Uje .40-plus croup who have- lurned retirt ment into the happiest, busiest years of their lives. Bernard Barueh is one. says Giles. As a young man, his goal was to retii and become an unpaid servant of the public. This second career has kept him mentally and physically vigorous. A retired accountant, Frederick Wolcott Dearing, became an Episcopal minister at the age of 72. He did it, not by luck or accident but by careful planning through his business life. Dr. John F. Russell, a general practitioner, retired in 1910 at the age of 54. He immediately turned to a new career in his attic labora tory investigating the relationship between diet and tuberculosis. This research occupied him until he was past 90. ' Through his years of medical practice, Dr. Addison Baird wished he had time to help patients with their non-medical problems. When lie retired after 30 years, he picked up a big job of counselling men and women with personal troubles without charge. Advertising Will Wurster was interested in butterflies all his life. When he retired he opened a small office and from there bought, sold and swapped rare specimens from all over the world. Stanford University psychologist Lillien J. Martin retired when she was 65. She opened a pre-school children's clinic, began coun selling men and women over 50. She started to write on the adjust ment problems of the middle-aed, learned to drive a car at 78, learned Spanish at 81. Heinrich Schliemann, a Dutch businessman interested In archae ology, retired a wealthy man when he was 50, He immediately took up a career for which he had long studied and prepared himself. It was Schliemann who located and dug up remains of Hellenic Troy. ,A retired Pittsburgh man and his wife have a hobby of making Christmas toys for the city's underprivileged children. A New Rochelle, Y-,. couple have taken up photography as a hobby and win prizes all over the lot. A New Hampshire husband-and-wife team made so many articles as a hobby they've started a successful gift shop. A New Jersey pair started out by making a backyard sundial, became Inter ested in time-pieces and began making replicas of horological curiosl ties. Their collection has been exhibited in fairs. A western couple became intrested in i.unting dinosaur bones, made a xylophone with some of their ancient bones and wound up with a stage show which began appropriately with "Rock of Ages", H. R. Caldwell, Jr., received his Bachelor of Science degree in Ani mal Industry from North Carolina State earlier this month. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hardy Cald well of the Iron Duff section.

By JANE EADS AP Newsfeatures WASHINGTON The potential 1952 voting population of the Uni ted States has been estimated at 100.000,000. How many of these will actually g6 to the polls on election day is a question concerning both political parties and organizations trying to better the 1950 record, when only 43 per cent of the potential vot ing population cast ballots. The League of Women Voters a non-partisan organization formed In 1920 to encourage citizen par ticipation in government believes an informed electorate will insure a bigger turn-out. In order to help with this job its voters' service branch has gotten out a pamphlet called "Give the Voter a Hand". A compilation of all things done by voters service groups every- , impressing each citizen that u.iless , ' he is registered he loses his right : fo vote. 1 It also calls upon members I stimulate interest and enthusiasm i in th crop of new voters eacn il year he 21-year-olds. n.,!v,miinitis Annual 111.
