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."

Parking Lot Stub
No Traffic Violation
Greenville, S. C. (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.

Potpourri;..
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."

Students Throw Pies
At School Professors
Norman, Okla. 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.

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-

acts under directions issued from

quarters and he is elusive, well
