The Pittsburg Prees, New York Sun, New York Times, - Philadelphia Public Ledger and other national ly known newspapers have pro claimed "Death Takes A Hoil-i day" as one of the finest plays ever presented on the American stage. The play, first presented in 1929 on the New York Stage, Is coming to Gardner-Webb Wed nesday, Dec. 17. The college Dramatics* Club presents this three- act comedy on the -stage of the E. B. Hamrick Auditorium Dec. 17 at 8: 15. Here's what the New York Times had to say about the play, first given under the direction of Lee Shu bert, "An exotic tale which tra vels an unfamiliar land and touches the imagination royally". The Philadelphia Inquirer adds, "A brave, audacious, and proco cative play". The play, which has a cast of 13, stars Betty Wise as Alda, a slender, beautiful girl of 28 and Andy Saris as Duke Lambert, a fair man of 45 with an air of good health and breeding. The play, which takes plac? In Duke Lambert's grand castle in Italy, is based upon a poetic conception of death suspendendlng all activi ties for three days during which Death or the Shadow, as a hu man, falls In love with a beauti ful girl and through her rvallzes why mortals fear him.

Breeding Attention Hikes Egg Profits "A hen that lays just two eggs more than another hen is worth JLO cents more as a baby chick. ' T. B. Morris, poultry specialist for the State College Extension Service, uses this mathematical fact to emphasize the importance of buying good breeding stock, stock that has been bred for egg production, even if it means pay ing a bit more for the. chicks. Morris points out that poultry raisers should place chick* orders now io insure getting the kind of chicks they want. "Breeding is the most impor tant factor in buying chicks." the specialist asserts. "The best man agement, the best care and 'he best feeding will not make good layers out of poor breeding stock. On the other hand, the very best layers will not show a profit un der poor management. "The market egg producer should always buy chicks that have been bred for egg produc tion." Under present condition, a hen must lay about 150 eggs to pay the feed bill, housing cost, equip ment and other expenses. It takes at least 100 eggs just to pay the feed bill for the average laying hen: "5ood labor returns can be ex pected from flocks that lay 200 or more eggs per bird," accord ing to Morris. Civic clubs and local business men spent $24,327 on District Junior Dairy Cattle Shows held for white and Negro youths this fall.
