of pneumonia in December, 1943.
His second wife, Ellen, 30
years his junior, was with him
when he died. He also was sur
vived by their son, Hillary, 21,
Washington newspaper man,
and two children by his former
marriage.
The couple came here three
years ago. Mrs. Masters is head
of the English department at
Ogontz Junior College for Girls
in nearby Rydal, Pa.
"He had not really been well
for several years but he always
looked forward to when he
could resume his writing," Mrs.
Masters said. "Then he con
tracted virus pneumonia. He
died in only a few short days."
Masters was a successful Chi
cago lawyer when he turned to
poetry at the age of 45. He pub
lished "Spoon River Anthology'
in 1914 and six years later retir
ed from his law practice to de
vote himself to literature.
Although Mrs. Masters said
she had believed her husband
was 81 years old, "Who's Who in
America" lists his birth date as
August 23, 1869, in Garnett,
Kansas.
An artist friend found the
poet alone in a New York hotel
in 1U4J suffering from pneu
monia and malnutrition. Since
tie had no financial resources
he was placed in a charity ward
in a city hospital. He was tem
porarily separated from Mrs.
Masters at the time.
When Masters' condition was
called to the attention of the
"Authors' League," that organ
ization provided funds for him to
be moved to a private hospital
In 1946 he received a $5,000
fellowship from the Academy
of American Poets.

Fair and Warmer Proves
To Be Hilarious Comedy
By EILEEN SCOTT ROSS ,
Cast members of ' "Fair and Warmer," second of the three
plays brought to Salem by the 20-30 club, played to a half full
house at the high school Bunaay nignt. .
In the three-act comedy By Avery Mopwood, Kooert Faquin
took the lead of the well-meaning but dull husband who resorts
to "wine, women and song to
arouse his wife's jealousy, thus
regaining her love. Joining him
in this endeavor is a naive
neighbor, played by Kathleen
Claypool, and the adventure re
sults in misunderstanding tem
pered with slapstick.
Peggy Deane took the role of
the bored wife, and Irving Kar
esli played the former suitor
wo Hold-up
Men Killed
Portland, March 6 W)t-Two
armed hold-up men were shot to
death here last night after a
quick-thinking woman camou
flaged a call for help with an innocent-sounding
request.
Using a gun he'd never fired
before, Eugene Archibald, 60,
killed two intruders in the little
suburban grocery store that he,
his daughter, and his son-in-law
operated.
Police identified the dead rob
bers as Henry Douglas Smith, 36,
Portland, and Jay W. Harris, 25,
West Linn, Ore.
Archibald and his family told
the following account:
Mrs. Lauriel Behrens, 25, was
taking her turn waiting on trade
while her father, Archibald, and
her husband, Marvin, played
cribbage in the apartment back
of the store.
She had just taken down a can
of sardines for two customers
when the customers suddenly
drew guns and said, "Okey, ba
by, let s nave tne money ... is
there anyone else here?"
Mrs. Behrens raised her voice
enough to carry into the back
room. "Yes, my father and hus
band are in the kitchen. Leave
enough money so we can open
in the morning."
The men at their cribbage
game heard her, and realized
what was happening.
Archibald walked Into the
store and fired at the man near
est him.
The other man was standing at
the cash register, one hand in the
till and the other on his gun. He
fired at' Archibald.
Archibald ducked, getting the
bullet in his wrist. Simultane
ously he fired, shooting the
bandit through the head.
The elderly grocer was taken
to a hospital.
"I always figure," he said
"that when anyone comes around
with a gun they ought to be
taken care of."
He had bougnt his gun as a
precautionary measure, but had
never tired it before.
who returns to court her again
and prompts the stuffy hus
band to hilarious action. Fur
ther complicating the jealousy
motive are Frederic Meyer as
Miss Claypool's husband, and
an overly friendly maid played
by Ruth Elliot.
The audience, generally quite
responsive, was especially amus
ed by a routine in the second
act in which Paquin attempted
to drink champagne from Miss
Claypool's open-toed slipper.
The various conflicts are re
solved with reconciliation on
all counts and a newspaper item
promising that tomorrow will
be "Fair and Warmer."
"Peg o' My Heart," last of
the group of plays, is scheduled
for April 25. The series is prer
sented by the Civic Drama Guild
of New York and sponsored lo
cally by the 20-30 club with
proceeds planned lor the pur
chase of playground equipment.
