The drama presents the encounter between an official interro gator of a Europeon state and a priest. The interrogator ap plies the insidious methods of a trained phychologist instead of the usual method of physi cal torture in an attempt to break the will and spirit of the priest. The interrogator’s purpose is to make the priest make a confession that will dispel the power of the churchman’s public image, which has opposed the state. ‘The Prisoner” is based on the life of Cardinal Mindzenty and was played by Sir Alec Guiness on the London stage.

Farrior Briefs Club On Chinese Stale Rev. S. C. Farrior, many i^ears a Presbyterian mission iry in China, was guest speak ?r before the local Kiwanis , dub at their luncheon meet ing at noon on July 2 at the Monte Vista hotel. Rev. Farrior gave an en lightening review of Chinese history before, during, and after the Communist take over. Before the Communists. China was in a state of de°tv depression and humiliation, due largely to foreign aggres sion and also the corruption of the Manchu reign. The country was therefore re ceptive to the promises of better living by the Commun ists who were under the di rection of the Russians, who worked mostly with receptive student groups. The takeover really began after the Japanese surrender and was completed by 1950. Land was taken over and former landlords executed. Where land was redistribut ed it was then taxed so highly the new owners could not hold it. There are few Christian diurches, as such, left, al :hough there are many taunch Christians in the r aackground who have had to v 10 underground with their re- £ jgion. Education is a func- £ lion of the government and c so parents are not allowed £ ;o even teach religion to their > children. E The program was furnished 1 Dy member George Ensminger.

Progress Cited In Getting Lot : For Library I In a meeting of the Friends ' of the Library, the question ; of a new building for the [ library was raised. M. E t Head, acting chairman of the r long range planning commit . tee, reported that there had • been an untiring effort dur ing the past 12 months to secure a lot, beginning with E consideration of one generous . ly offered as a gift by Dr. - and Mrs. F. H. Richardson but which proved inadequate in size. The committee, how ever, said Mr. Head, remains undaunted, indeed encouraged, in its efforts. Added to the moral support of the library board, there is now an active effort, on the part of the town council to secure a lot and it is believed this effort will soon bear fruit. Involved in the operation of the library is also the prob lem of insufficient funds, sup port now comes partly from the county and partly from a library tax voted a number of years ago by the citizens of Black Mountain. The Friends in their meeting urgently recommended, by vote, that the town council consider the extension of the corporate limits, with a view to securing in that way a larger income for the library. Dr. Richardson, speaking from another point of view, said this is not a one-sided matter, as a citizen whose home is now within city limits, he said the values of living with in the town far outweigh those of living outside.
