Large Crowd Views
Night Acquacade
At Topsides
Over two hundred valley resi
dents were present last evening
at the Moonlight Acquacade
sponsored by the Jackson County
League of Women Voters at the
beautiful estate of the Alfred
S. V. Carpenters.
A dozen or more lovely girls,
all competent swimmers, per
formed in the acquacade, the
climax of which was a patriotic
scene with streamers of red,
white and blue being floated the
length of the lighted pool to re
cording tunes of "God Bless
America." Completing the pic
ture were large stars held at the
far end of the pool by several
of the mermaids.
The affair was cleverly open
ed by Miss Calista Farrell's spec
tacular dive through a large
paper hoop.
An interesting feature of the
evening was the Gay Nineties
review in which the bevy of
young ladies modeled gowns
and other wearing apparel of
an early vintage. Particularly
noticeable was the contrast in a
bathing suit of a generation ago
modeled by Miss Calista Farrell
and the one in which she ap
peared in the acquacade.
Between scenes of the acqua
cade were other swimming fea
tures. Dick Sleeter's exhibition
of a variety of difficult dives
brought loud applause from the
audience. Later Mr. Slecter and
Miss Marjorie Kelly formed a
team to display feats of rhyth
mic swimming, as did the Misses
Peggy Scherer and Julie Car
penter.
No water show is complete
without a bit of comedy and
this was amply supplied by
Harry Thurman, Wilson Church
and Harlow Carpenter whose
funny antics were appreciated
especially by the slightly damp
spectators whose ringside seats
were vulnerable places for water
sprays when the comedians suc
cessfully executed a number of
pile dives from the board Into
mid-pool.
Following the entire program,
guests mingled in the gardens
and yard of Topsides. Many
tables for bridge were set up in
rooms both upstairs and down
stairs of the attractive home and
refreshments were served.
The following acqua belles
and models appeared in the
highly successful entertainment;
The Misses Helene and Jeanne
Salade, Peggy, Gardner, Jean
Schuler, Susan Vilas, Nina Tut-
tle, Patricia and Calista Farrell,
Lois Pringle, Nan Tengwald,
Deborah Tumy, Julie Carpenter,
Peggy Scherer of San Francisco,
Cal., Ruddy Hale of Lake Forest.
111., Carol Tengwald, Ann and
Phoebe Dean, Patricia Thomp
son, Mary Lou Lyman, Alicia
Ruhl and Charity Hart.
Miss Helene Salade was or
ganizer, director and trainer of
the unique acquacade and Leon
ard Carpenter acted as master
of ceremonies.
Festival Plans for
Next Year Will
Be Formed Tonight
Plans for the 1941 Shakes
pearean Festival will be dis
cussed in a meeting of the exe
cutive committee of the Festival
Association in Ashland tonight
at 7:30 p m., according to word
received here today.
While business heads are
winding up the last of the pres
ent season, definite moves will
be mapped for the continuation
of this unique venture through
another year. Details are not ex
pected to be worked out tonignt,
but major phases of production
continuation will be taken un
der consideration.
Financial returns for the sea
son which closed last Saturday
in Ashland's outdoor civic Eliza
bethan theatre have not been
tabulated. It is expected that the
box office and sponsoring mem
bership receipts will be lowered
as a result of the disasterous
blaze which last Thursday
night swept through the dress
ing rooms and storage rooms
back sta;;e and consumed nearly
60 per cent' of all the costumes.
Total extent of the damage is
not known although production
heads estimate the loss at nearly
$2,000.
Virtually all the remaining
costumes, along with stage
props, office equipment and
other belongings of the Festival
were being classified and stored
this week. Both Director Wil
liam David Cottrell and Art Di
rector Lois M. Bowmer have
been busy cataloging the prop
erties and storing equipment.
Participants in the plays have
been returning to their homes
the fore part of this week leav
ing a barren and forlorn appear
ance at the once-busy theatre.
A few of the out-of-town play
ers are still in Ashland but plan
to leave by the end of the week.
Results of tonight's meeting
will decide what courses will
be followed in line with plans
for another year. Festival heads
believe thit some form of pro
gress should be carried on
throughout the entire year, in
stead of launching all phases of
the productions less than three
months before presentation
dates.

Tranquility and freedom from
fear was something Trotsky had
never known. Born Le Davido
vich Bronstein in the village of
Yanovka on Nov. 7, 1879. Trot
sky was enpaged In revolution
ary activity at an aise when
most youths are still playing
games.
At 17 he was leader of a rev
olutionary organization called
the union of south Russian
workingmen. As such he was
arrested In January, 1B98, and
sent to Siberia for four years.
He escaped, wandered about
over Europe and finally, in Lon
don, met Lenin. He returned to
Russia, never ceasing to plot
against the czar, and was again
exiled to Siberia from whence
he again escaped.
During the war Trotsky was
expelled from France lind in
1917 went to the United States
from where he was recalled to
aid in establishment of the com
munist regime.
The quarrel with Stalin after
Lenin s death was a long one
and Stalin, preferring consolida'
tion of Russia's strength to at
tempts at world revolution, won
a complete victory.
From Mexico, denouncing So
viet "bureaucracy," Trotsky
urged the Russian masses to re
bel against Stalin's "deformed
and degenerated workers' state
He summoned the proletariat
of the world to revolution.
'If there is a revolution of the
proletariat in France," he said,
there will be one in Germany,
even In time of war.
"I am sure that the only way
to have success for the Soviet
union is to have revolutions in
Germany and Japan.
If we admit the Idea of a
world war without a social rev
olution outside the Soviet, the
defeat of the Soviet is inevit
able." But world revolution must
come, Trotsky felt.
"For every 10 workers who
stand firm (for revolution)", he
said, "there will arise 1U0 more
at their sides."
