T h e operetta promises to be one of the most colorful ever produced by this high school. The scene is laid in a Chinese tea garden, decorated with bright flowers and Chinese lanterns. Business is dull at the Tea House of Sing Lo. due to the con servatism of the owner, who de tests modern advertising methods. J, Mortim er Maxwell (played by Bob Grewell), proprietor of “Sho- Glo" Electric Signs, arrives to capture the China market, accom panied by his Wife ( Marjorie E a rl); his daughter June (Pat Baldwin- and his salesman, Bert McKee ( B i l l W orkman) who aspires to win June's hand.

Monday the Mountain States Power company lowered the pow er lines at the north end of the L«x-al officers w e r e puzzling Monday over a way to handle an aged transient, who was living in a [»per house on the south high way near the steel bridge. Myron Perry, chief of police, who. with James Mercer, state patrolman, visited the man Monday. The man is a hospital case, but there is no funds with which to hospitalize him. according to Perry. Perry said the man, aged 68. who gave his name as Orin Bea ber. was living in a small paper house without fuel or food and was confined to an improvised bed. He could not walk and his hands were drawn. He landed here six weeks ago hunting work and except for provisions given by Merle Porter has had no care. He has a daughter in Bellingham, Washington, but the daughter has recently undergone a serious op eration. making financial assist ance impossible at this time, Beaber told officers. Perry said unless some church or organization would care for the man he probably would arrest him on a charge of vagrancy and let the county take him over. The of ficer said the logical place for the man would probably be in an old folks home.

Will Manage Safeways New Store B U D A PE ST--Tw elve thousand fk-rman troops have rolled into Bulgaria from Rumania in the last 24 hours, reports filtering through frequently interrupted communi cations with Sofia said last night. These troops form the vanguard ot 120,000 nazis soon to stream across the Danube to confront Greece, the reports asserted. (Authorized quarters in Berlin continued to deny that German troops have invaded Bulgaria, or that even an infiltration move ment is under way. German au thorities asserted, however, that a number of English agents have been arrested in Sofia, and this was taken as an indication that British representatives are trying to sabotage Bulgar-German rela tions.) The initial 12,000 German in vaders. according to word from Sofia, poured into Bulgaria from Rumanian Dobrudja across the Danube bridge near Chernavoda. Most of them were motorized de tachments. In addition, the Sofia reports said, three German troop« trains left Vidin in the direction of Sofia. Vidan is near the Yugoslavian frontier. W. J.
