THURSDAY, AUG. 4, 196® NUMBER FORTY-NINE , I SUBSCIU/' ION RATES RN PER YEAR Scene From Top 0’ The Hill By: Jack Kelly This ‘ ecumenical” broth erhood is spreading like wild fire. Last week I mentioned about the Catholic Diocese of Pi sburgh hiring a Met hodist to run the Catholic Charities. This week, I see that the National Council of Churches has hired itself a Jesuit priest. This is another first in our great Country’s history. Seems like LBJ pulled a “Harry Truman” last week end when he made nine speeches in four States all in one day. According to the papers, he really pul ed them in! A1 of the pictures print ed show the folks with b’g smiles and their hands out stretched to shake hands or touch him This has to prove something. Wonder what the poll-taking peop e think about it? Personally, I am more inter ested in what happens with a bride and groom when three extra men (Secret Serv es Agents! accompany them on a Honeymoon. Looks Ike they wi 1 always have a “fourth” for Bridge. The impending White House marriage proves the va uo of the family. Re member the fine feelings you had when you saw a picture of the late JFK with his Ptt'e ones? A similar fee ing now C'-mes when you see LBJ and the daughter to be married. Makes every thing wor hwhile My pappy e’a’med that a son s*o d you right at one hundred dol'ars a D iund on h : s 21st birthday and a daughter cost the same on hnr 18th birthday. I checked it out on mv own sons and it is remarkable how c ose to the mark he came. This column is from Wash irg‘ou but the Heavens only k"ow where the next onfi w ,- l emanate from.

Un h°re It is hot and sultry, pro mises of rain. If you want to win two bius, just make a bet that we wiL have a man on tne moon before Novemoer of ’6B. The best two bucks you can spend wih. get you a copy of the latest U. S. Government Organisation Manual- It is pub.ishM by the oifice of the Federal Re gister, National Archives and Records Service, General Services Administration. Or der it from the Government Printing Office . It covers everything you can think of, urtd a whole lot more. This book shows how and where your Government is, which is everywhere. Most of which is all for the good, despite what some critics say. Too many peop e, when some particular piece of leg.sla tion disagrees with their notion on the matter, are prone to cry “Wolf!” and talk about what happens when “a camel gets his nose in the tent” (an old Arabian desert legend which claims the camel’s backsides follow his nose and makes the tent rather crowded) but, when you leaf through this book, you will find that our Gov ernment does not do the camel trick. 7 Special for the Ladies Luci’s wedding cake will be a summer-fruit, seven-lay ered, white-frin~ed one with sugar-swans and arches all over it. Up in this area. “Abe” Lincoln, the husband of Eve’yn Lincon who was Pre sident Kennedy’s private sec retary for twelve years. Is running for Congress in Maryland. “Abe” brought a new wrirk'e to campaigning. He has an “office on wheels” consisting of a fu ly'equipoed Volkswagen-b’ne of thing and he vows “You won’t have to come to Washington to see your Congressman* He wil’ be at (name of town) every (day of the week) from (names the timet”. Quite an Idea. New In this area.

Raymond Taylor, who found ed the Playhouse here twenty seasons ago and who direct ed a production of “Our Town” that first season of 1047.. Several of the original cast returned to work with Mr. Taylor in this season’s pro duction. including W. C JTMutt” Burton, (referred to f; a's the “Reidsville Editor” of j ‘ the Greensboro Daily News) who played the role of the “stage manager” with his usual aponib, distinction, and expert power of insight into the character of any role he undertakes. Hardy Root, of Greens-. boro, another veteran of the 1947 production, gave an in genuous performance as E li ter Webb of The Grover's Corners Sentlnal; and Exum Lewis and Bill Banks both of Burnsville, returned to give their good, simple-hearted characterizations of Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs. The Parkway Plavhouse production of this Pulitzer Prize winning plav opened with only one garlng s‘age lamn creating an eerie effect on the otherwise bare stage Mr. Burton made his en trance and si en f ]y directed 'he “assistant stage mana gers” as they casually placed a few chairs, tabes, step ladders; and, as the _“stage manager” said a few mom e"‘s later “a coupe of trellises for those who feel they have to have scenery." Mr. Wilder requires no other scenerv for his p'av, yet It Is remarkably realistic. Mr. Burton, after a'l was In p’ace, lcisurey strnl'ed to the side of the sta e, leaned against the proscen ium pil ar lazily smnking a p De as he began his narra tion of the nay. IT NEVER FAILS As the lights came un the audience soon lost a i aware ness of the a'mos» hare stave and easi’y vi Halved the it tie town of Grover'.- Comers New Hampshire' at about the turn of the c°nturv and surrendered to the soe’i of Mr. Burton’s sonorous voice as he described the town and the people living there. John Mason Brown said of. this play, “ . . an excep tional y personal play. More than most plays, (7 since by its sweet simplicity it seeks to get in contact with the inmost nerves of our living, it is the kind of drama which depends upon what we bring to it- . . Though laid in a New Hampshire village, it has the human heart as its real setting." Among the many members of the Playhouse company who appeared In this infini te' y tender play were Bill Cwikowski as a pleasfngl timid and gent’.e George Gibbs, who fals in love with Emi'y Webb, payed with de licacy and charm by Becky Reeder; Maynard French, a member of the UNC-G thea tre department, who gave an extreme y credible portrayal of the infamous choir direc tor, Simon Stimson; Jo Car son as a delightful y juvenile Rebecca Gibbs; and Arman do Contardi, who p ayed the role of the milkman with a perfect New England accent, acquired especial'y for this roe. O'her performers from the Burnsville area, who contri buted outstanding perform ances in th's oMgnant pro duction, were E lzabeth Ben nett Phvi'.is D' > w r 'l r *g, Chris Kotch. Randv Ba-ks, Fuvke Downing and Murcia Ba^ks. Since Mr. Wilder’s “Our Tow- 1 " reauires Mtt'e scenery, lighting and costum'ng be come even more significant than In most D*avs. Costume Assistant Ro®emarv Sil's de serves the highest oraise for the ear’”-l t >ou costumes, as does Technician Sephen Edes l e<n. who created the • exce lent, effects, all of wh'eh added to the magical Il'u.Hion of reality SO, with EXACTLY $I so left for HOTEL EXPENSES... SORRY..BUT ALLTHE $1.50 ROOMS ARE OCCUPIED... CHEAPEST WE HAVE LEFT/^ ftOMSSWOTS fji, OPINION LAKE WALES, FLA., NEWS: “There is a lot of hazy thinking over the country to education. The mere fact that a boy ur girl managt to get a c »|c te diploma doc.s not necessary test.fy conclusive j that their 'education has been a success It takes more than dates, facts, formulae and figures to make an educated human being There are men and women who have never been inside a college, but who, nevertheless, are better educated than some of the young graduates When you know what we mean by this, you are be ginning to show signs of education yourself.” • • 0 MUNSING, MICH., NEWS: “Government hasdouts to a selfish, lazy pubic are mak ing our governmental costs go up up, and up, as much as anything and it is hard to see when and where it’s going t 0 stop.” •• • • TOWER CITY, PA., HER ALD: “Inflation means to ‘blow up’. It can be conjuga ated thus: ‘lnflate, inflated, busted.* Those who believe Inflation can be controlled at any desired point may also be-ueve that an aftym bomb can be exploded just a little.” •• • • JEFFERSON, OHIO, GA ZETTE: “There are the ‘free’ lunches for schoos, the ‘free’ milk— not that some of the indigent child ren do not need (of course they do) but when do they start learning that they must pay for all this free loading, and pay dearlv? . . . erywhere you turn, the peo ple of this once proud, once free country, are looking for a handout from the federal government." •• • • FREDONIA, KAN., CITI ZEN: “The Agriculture De partment is now trying to encourage the growing of more wheat. Our memory is pretty short, but It doesn’t seem too long ago, that wheat was the nastiest word in the Department’s vocabu lary and farmers were skunks for contributing to the surplus How time chan ges things.”
