CaXT MZSrOKS (ORE COW) New Play To End Acting Holiday For famous Couple New YorkdJ.B Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne will end their year's holiday from acting this June when they start re hearsals in a new play by their old friend and co-worker, Noel Coward. The famous acting couple, who spend their summers on their farm at Genesee Depot, Wis., have been passing this winter in New York, taking it easy most of the time and seeing the new shows. r Lunt, of course, did direct "Cosi Fan Tutte" for the Metro politan Opera Company this sea son and gained wonderful no tices for an outstanding produc tion. On opening night he even appeared in the cast as a foot man lighting tapers af the be ginning of the opera. The new Coward play which the Lunts will do is "Quadrille," described as a romantic comedy set in Britain and the south of France in 1875. Coward, passing through New York en route to a vacation in Jamaica, read his play to the Lunts and got their " approval. The Lunts will go to London in May to begin rehearsals for an opening in the provinces in July and a London premiere in September. If successful, the production will be brought to the United States whenever the London run ends. This will be the third time the Lunts have been in a Coward play. They appeared with the author in his "Design for Liv ing" and later without him in "Point Valaine." Coward probably will be rep resented here by another play before "Quadrille" arrives. This one is "Relative Values," in which Gladys Cooper is now starring in London. John C. Wil son, who will be associated in production of "Quadrille," said Miss Cooper definitely will come to New York with "Relative Values." The Grange Griffin Creek Grange Griffin Creek Grange met March 13, Master Wesley Christ lieb presiding. We had a surprise on Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mathern who celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in March. Mrs. Iva Harper made up a story of their life which she read. During the grand march all who could locate a bell rang it. Then a gift was presented. Miss Lucille Beach, color styl ist for Shermin Williams Paint Co, and Clifford Smart from Hubbard Bros., lectured on color in the home. Mrs. Mabel Penland of Phos nix Grange was a visitor.

(U.R) A 67-year-old Greenville man still has a spotless record. Police Chief J. H. Jennings said the elderly man walked in to headquarters and informed the desk sergeant he wanted to pay a parking ticket. The sergeant wrote out a re ceipt and the man gave him a dollar, explaining that it was his first "brush with the law." Then the man handed the officer his "parking ticket." It was a stub that had been placed on the man's windshield at a parking lot. The dollar was refunded.

While the folks at home are doing everything they can to boost the morale of soldiers over seas, the soldiers sometimes go out of their way to do the same thing. So says Mrs. A. C. Allen, who thinks she can prove this with a letter from her grand son, Warren Hoss, serving in Korea. In one letter the soldier hu morously referred to himself as "your little ice cube" and in an other he joked about eating canned rations. "Ah, a good good morning to you from the beautiful and scenic, yet treach erous hills of Central Korea," the soldier wrote. "As we look in on our little 'ice cube' this morning he is huddled in the corner of his poorly ventilated, poorly lit, poorly heated and poorly furnished fox hole. "But first a word from our sponsor, 'Eat it in the can.' Through timeless and strenuous days of research, at it in the can' is able to bring to you for the first time in history food fit to eat right out of the beau tiful stainless steel container. Look for it at your corner fox hole or any friendly army sur plus store. "Remember, 'Eat it in the can' comes equipped with a stainless plastic spoon conveniently tucked away on the bottom. Buy it, eat it and then may we sug gest our company physician at a reasonable fee." Mrs. Allen thinks it is some how comforting to know that even in a foxhole American boys don't lose their sense of humor. As a never-failing source of income for charitable projects, the style show can't be surpas sed. As usual, Medford Junior Service league had capacity audiences both Thursday and Friday for the annual spring show, and a fat sum can be tucked away in the league stock ing to apply on the group's hos pital charities. Potpourri always has as much fun seeing what the guests wear as looking at the models. Mrs. Scott V. Davis looked smart in a grey suit with brown furs, and Mrs. Lila Thomas also was in grey with a tiny straw hat on the waves of her pretty hair-do. Spring hats are always fas cinating, particularly the be flowered ones. Mrs. Earl Leever had on a little spring straw with a brim pertly turned up in the back to hold a rose. "My hus band says I better watch out, or the humming-birds will fol low me around," said Mrs. Leever. Miss Mable Nye, whose col lection of hats is the talk and envy of those women of the city who love chic headgear, wore the tiniest of tiny hats, gold colored, with long, narrow feathers curving out and up from the front. It was certainly one of those hats which makes husbands turn pale and women wish they had one like it. Sunday, Muck li. ItSI Mrs. George Flanagan breezed in several days ago just to chat a few moments and talk about one of her favorite subjects the doings of First Presbyterian church. Mrs. F. is all wound up in plans for the dedication of the new addition to the church building, and had just come from a luncheon where some of the plans had been discussed. "That Mr. West," she grum bled good-naturedly. "He thinks I can do anything!" She spread out a paper on which she had outlined the various tasks for the members' of this particular com mittee, and to each paragraph was attached the name of the person who was to be responsi ble. "I always write everything down," she explained. "Then I know just what everyone is sup posed to do." Before she left Mrs. F. related what she thought was a bit of a joke on her husband. The Flanagans like to swim, and had been sighing over the fact that the swimming pool couldn't be used all year around. So Mr. Flanagan installed a heater to warm the water and the de lighted Flanagans were rejoicing over the luxury of swimming in February. That is, until the bill came and the head of the house hold sat down with paper and pencil and discovered it had cost him almost $5 a day to heat the water in the pool. Sadly he dis connected the heater and at last recital, was waiting until the weather warmed up just a little. At the civic music concert Friday night we stopped in the corridor to chat with President Elmo Stevenson of Southern Oregon college. President Ste venson is always eager to talk about the college, and said the new wing for Susanne Homes hall would hold 60 girls. The girls in the new wing will be supervised by a student from the Netherlands who will be enrolled at the college under a teach ing fellowship. "She speaks sev eral languages, is just learning English, and I know is going to be popular with the girls," the president concluded. This interesting-sounding stu dent plans to join a group which will take a bicycle and walking tour in Africa this summer, start ing from Cape Town in South Africa and continuing north to Cairo, Egypt. The National Male Quartet brought the concert season to a rousing close for civic music association. The group's tenor, Attilio Baggiore, is an exuber ant friendly soul and did some thing Friday night which isn't often seen on the concert stage. As usual, a few patrons were a little late, stood at the back of the auditorium while the first number was finished and then started to slip quietly down to find seats. Tenor Baggiore spoke up like the minister in the coun try church and said, beckoning across the footlights, "Come right down and find seats, folks. This is going to be a long group."

U.R) -University of Oklahoma students threw pies at their professors and the university president, George L. Cross, washed dishes in a sorority house here but all in good cause. The events took place as part of an OU carnival to raise money for the March of Dimes. It was a $913 success. Cross and several other uni versity officials and educators auctioned their services to stu dents at a public sale. The digni fied doctor brought a high bid of $103.10 for some brief service in the sorority kitchen. The most popular part of the program was a pie-throwing booth at which students could use Paul MacMinn, dean of stu dents, and a lot of professors as targets. We now present a group of Russia Communism Spreads Liko Flood, Prelate Says Singapore (UJ0 Russian Communism Is like a flood. Sometimes.it bursts its banks and flows over the country with catastrophic violence. Sometimes it gradually trick lea. through. . , That observation was made by the Archbishop of York, Dr. Cyril Garbett, who toured the Federa tion of Malaya and Singapore for 10 days before going on to Aus tralia. In Malaya, the archbishop said, Communism is adopting the "trickling" method, which means gradual infiltration and a series of acta of violence. By unscrupu lous propaganda, it seeks to weaken and intimidate the resist ance of the people. "If the flood breaks in here (Malaya)," Dr. 'Garbett warned "it would soon spread over the rest of southeast Asia. He told listeners over Radio Malaya that the people of the country were defending the cause of civiliza tion and thus were doing a ser vice to the rest of the world. Asks Cooperation The people of Great Britain and those of Malaya are together in this fight to the end, the arch' bishop assured his listeners. He warned, again, however, that the date of "inevitable victory" will depend largely on the whole hearted cooperation of all the nationalities within Malaya. By their refusal to give any help to the terrorists or be intimidated by them they will hasten the day of victory, he said. Dr. Garbett paid tribute to those who are fighting the Com munist campaign of murder and violence in Malaya. Dr. Garbett said he felt sure that as those in England began to learn of their (Malayans') cour age and of the dangers, Britons would feel for them the greatest sympathy. Jusi One Section 'This is only one section. though a vital one, of the long front against which the aggres sive Communism is throwing its forces, he said. "Korea, Indo China, Burma and Malaya are all in the same battle lines." The troops and police are fighting a foe who is hidden by dense Jungle and can take refuge in remote mountains. Dr. Garbett observed, and he can move rap Idly from place to place. Although the enemy is not banded in any army, the arch- No More Humbug, Aborigines Pledge Alice Springs, Australia (U.R; 'You tellum true fella all the time no humbug.

"No quick and dramatic vic tory is possible," Dr. Garbett said "but I go away firmly con vinced that this unscrupulous foe will be defeated and outwitted."
