Often the bill for this amounts to ten or fifteen dollars for just one patient, and in many cases the patient cannot afford this. In other cases, the orthopedic surgeon may prescribe one of the new drugs which may be too expen sive for the patient to buy. This is where we make use of your contributions to our Or thopedic Fund, to make it pos sible for such patients to have the same examination and tseatment as more fortunate persons. Last year there were 571 : patient visits to our orthopedic clinic, a monthly average ot nearly 48. We sincerely appre-I ciate your help in making this good work possible, and we ask your continued support. ROBINSON, TV A OFFICIAL MOVES HERE Mr. and Mrs. Denver D.

S-A ROBBINS SERVING IN KOREAN WATERS Mine Squadron 3, Korea — Serving here aboard the hSS landing ship, tank, No. 799 is Douglas E. Robbins, seaman apprentice, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hezzie B- Robbins, Burnsville, Rt. 1. The 799 was recommissioned In Jap an in Aug. 1950, and is operating near Wonsan. She serves as a base for a helicop ter used for operational sup port. The 'copter of the 79y has rescued 24 downed UN pilots. During the opening months of the Korean conflict the am phibious craft destroyed 41 en emy mines in sweeping opera tions. pasture, bushes and tree bran ches are being cut for cattle feed. This area and North Caro lina in general is reaching the emergency condition stage. Some southern states have been declared as emergency areas. Tobaccoo, the most import ant cash crop in this county, has already been cut to below fifty per cent because of the heat and dry period, according to farm experts. And the crop is in such condition that a normal amount of rain from this date on out would fail to< improve it to any great extent. The different agricultural agencies here are trying to draft plans to aid farmers who have cash crop and feed losses. Dairy farmers are being hit a strong blow because the condi tion not only works a hardship at the present time, but causes a greater amount of winter feed buying necessary. Some suggestion has been made that farmers who see a feed shortage on their farms shouid begin now to buy win ter feed before prices begin to soar. The head of one departfent here estimated that feed nec essary to keep dairy and beef cattle through the winter will run into hundreds of carloads. Tennessee farmers are now having to import feed from the Mid-West. ' • * ~ Outdoor Theatre At Playhouse In Use This Week Rows ond rows if benches have been hamered into place to complete North Carolina’s newest outdoor theatre adjoin ing the Parkway Playhouse here, ready for the presenta tion of “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” tonight, Friday and Saturday. This production of one of the favorite Shakespearean comedies will be a highspot of the 1952 season at the Play house, a pai't of the School of Fine Arts, conducted here by the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina: In Hollywood’s terms, the production will be “lavish,” and in anybody’s terms it pro mises to be good theatre. Michael Casey, Parkway Playhorse faculty director, will “break in” the new out door theatre. He is well quali fied for the job, since he only recently returned from Eng-, land, where he spent two years as an assistant director at the Old Vic, London’s most famous theatre. There he worked with Britain’s best, including Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. He won a Fullbright scholarship to study in Eng land after he received his Master’s degree from the Uni versity of North Carolina, and the next year the award was extended because of his out standing work during his first year. In September he will join the faculty of Notre Dame University. The outdoor theatre is locat ed on a wooded slope beside the . picturesque .Playhouse. The stage is of native moun tain stone; the benches, which will seat approximately 300, are of rustic timber. For the set of “Midsummer Night’s Dream” the stage crew has built a cave of papier mache and has transplanted a small-sized forest, with a beau tiful natural setting as the result. Costuming called for 30 dif ferent outfits, all of which had to be made in one week’s time, the full allotment on the rig orous schedule demanded for a five weeks program of a play a week. Ruth Young of Salis bury, who has spent several seasons at the school, designed the costumes and is in charge of making them. Two unusual features of the XIMtMnW) ) rttrptol 1' /bn Mti Stitts V ( ptfmtßuis J NUMBER FORTY-EIGHT Shakespearean play are the roles of Puck and the Will-o the Wisp. Puck will be played by a nine year old boy, Barry Kelly of Miami, Fla., the son of John Barry Kelly, one of.the Playhouse’s most competent actresses. The Will-o-the Wisp will be danced by Jo Anne Melser of New York City, who did the choreography for he:* number and other dances incidental to the story. She is using Bartok’s “Sonata for Violin and Piano”, probably the first time Bartok has ever been combined with Shakespeare.
