Wf had our' doubts about 'Joan of Lorraine.' It's a play not easy to produce its setting in another country and in another age is a challenge to professional thespians and seemed to us au almost 'insurmountable barrier to amateurs. So with tongue in cheek we Went to see the Little Theatre's production Saturday night. Our tongue was loosened to bestow nothing but compliments as, the findl curtain fell. The whole troupe did an admirable job. And a large share of the credit goes to Mis? Doris Leach, director. Difficulty after difficulty arose. The play was cast. Then this character dropped out and then another. If a member of the cast didn't tell the director he was no longer interested, he just failed to show up at rehearsal, so the director had to ask him to give up his part then search for someone else to fill it. The boys at Morehead City Technical institute jumped in and filled many a gap. "We couldn't have given the play without them," Miss Leach declared. One date Wag set for the play. This was announced and then it was found that certain characters would be out of towh that night. A second date was set, and then it was found that the re f creation center was not available that night. This was enough to discourage even the stoutest heart. But maybe the courage and faith of Joan of Lorraine had Imbued our modern-day Thespians. Nothing seemed to deter them. Although a large bouquet of red carnations was presented to Mrs. Lois Chapin, who splendidly played the part of Joan, each One who had a part in producing the play deserves a bou quet too. Partially Besnrrect the Inspection Law! The inspection law got the ax . . . and all the while it was in death throes, motorists flocked to the inspection lanes as never before, Arthur Moore, director of the North Carolina Department Of Motor Vehicles, reports. If there was such violent objection to the program, this Objection must have conic from a voluble few or else the con tinual crowds at the lanes up to the last minute indicates that people believe a vehicle inspection is necessary, but they object to the manner of obtaining one. We have contended ever since the inspection law became an issue in the legislature that the mobile lane system was a poor method. In our opinion, a permanent inspection station or in spection stations (depending on the number of cars) should be established in each county, state-operated If it is felt that this would eliminate graft on the part of garage owners should a system be Set up where private businessmen are given a franchise for an inspection station. It has been proved conclusively in states where there are ' , inspection laws that highway accidents diminish considerably after .A the law becomes effective. k ' ' - For the sake of every highway traveler, pedestrian or mo torist, a modified inspection law should be enacted. Failure to do so is tantamount to signing the death certificate of hundreds of residents of our state. Thoughts for an open mind... All momenta count. No act can be insignificant, no attitude or attribute inconsequential. Gfeat acts demand greatness for the doing. Great truths are comprehended only by those who stretch of vision is broad enough to see not fragments but entirety. Be watchful as the days go by. Each moment is a part of life's mosaic. It matters not if you ait or stand, or walk; if you lean or lift; If you strengthen or weaken. That which you . dp fa placed in life's great pattern. We must not despise any sort of talent; they all have their se parate uses and duties; all have the happines of man for their object; they all Improve, exalt and gladden life.

Letter To The Editor A fire alarm is sounded on the alarm system, trucks, men, equip ment are dispatched to the scene of the fire. The faces of men are ex pressionless, eyes are grave, in their minds they are wondering what they will find at the end of the run. WHO OO OO, WHO OO 00 goes the siren: CLANG CLANG CLANG sounds the bell as the Mer cy Wagons go by. Some of the by standers will say to themselves "Thank God In Heaven they are not going to my house". They (the Fire Department) ar rive on the scene of the fire. A home, a habitation of children, bun dles of Joy from Heaven, future presidents, doctors, teachers, law yers, useful citizens, firemen, etc. is a light blaze from the top to the bottom. Before orders can be given by the Fire Chief, a person comes run ning with tears in his or her eyes wringing of the hands and with a nervous prostration of the voice so badley that they cannot convey the words fast enough. The most dreaded sentence ever recorded in the English lanauaee'Tireman save My Child." Someone will quietly put a fri endly arm around your shoulder and try to quiet your nerves. While experts go to work trying to undo, irt a matter of hours if need be. what perhaps could have been pre vented with a little common sense. The Fire Department had rather spend hours upon hours giving you plenty of free advice, all tried and tested on how "You" not them (Firemen) could save your child by not having the fire in the first place. Look around where you work, where you live, ia good housekeep ing always carried out? If not take a little time to fix things from a safety standpoint. A clean place or shop is a much better place to work and live.
