NEfp HEALTH \kICCU irvaal Play Given By Group The Carolina Repertory Company delighted students and staff of Cane River and East Yancey High Schools with their production of THE WON DERFUL O at Cane River High School last Wednesday, April 26. This newly-formed pro - fessional theater organization is cuirentiy touring the area, having recently presented THE WONDERFUL O at The Univer sity of North Carolina at Ashe ville, N.C. This musical fantasy, based on THE iyONDERFUL O by James Thurber, carries the audience along on a search by some shady characters for a hidden treasure—no less than perfect jewels. The conteirpt of the leader of the group for the letter "O" (due to the fact that his mother was once stick in the O- shaped porthole of a ship—he couldn.'t pull hear in so he had to push her out!) drives him to ban the letter "O" from use in any way by the people of the tiny island to which he and his men have come to find the treasure. Thi% of course, presents interesting and amusing problems in speech song, and even names. When, at lasc, the search is over and the treasure is discovered, the perfact jewel is the word "Free dom" which may certainly be considered a perfect jewel in fantasy or in fact, Western North Carolina is well represented in this produc tion. Ann Sternberg, who wrote both music and lyrics for THE WONDERFUL O, is a native of Asheville. The prin- 1 ciple male role, Mr. Black, is portrayed by Roger Howell of Weaverville, and Amelia Pen land of Burnsville plays the boatwrightk wife. The production was most enjoyable, and our students Were fortunate to have the op portunity to experience excel lent acting, delightful music, and contemporary staging pre sented by a professional thea ter organization.

"\ 4 , cP-v *HL ' / ' Evangelist Speaks By Rick Huskins Friday, April 28th, the well-known evangelist and world traveler, Rev. 800 Write spoke to Mrs. Zuver and Mr. Bailey's fifth period social studies classes on communism. We were very fortunate to hear his speech. Rev. White has establish ed underground missions in communist countries. He spent many years in China as miss ionary until that country was taken over by the Communist Party. Since that time he has smuggled Bibles into Com munist countries.'' ' He gave some of the his - tory of communism, and in formation on such men as Karl Marx and Lenin. Rev. White lectured mostly on the relation ship between how communian took over Soviet Union and what is happening in the Uni ted States today, in which the relationship is very close. There are 20,000 communist front groups operating in the United States. Most of which operate on college campuses, or through high schools. Com munist propaganda is received on most college campuses. There seems to be no anti - communist material in these campuses. The organization of Radio- Free Europe will have to go off the air because of lack of funds. Rev. White asked peo ple to write their representa - tive to try and save this organ ization. He also asked us to write our Senators to try to gpt them to introduce a bill to get the United States Loyalty Act for government officials reinstated. This Loyalty Act required government officials to remain loyal to the U. S. and not to introduce* any Com munist propaganda to the pub lic. The Supreme Court rul - ed the Act unconstitutional. We, who heard Rev. White feel that the United States needs more men like him to tell us the truth about commu nism.
