Youth Reverses
Usual Loyalty
01 Dog to Master
Jackson, Miss. (U.R) Stories
are lesion about the loyalty of
a seein(!-eye dog to his master.
In the case of six-year-old
A. B. Albritton, Jr., and his col
lie pup, King, the case is re
versed. The boy can see and the
dog can't.
The dog needs help from some
one to find his way around.
King's blindness was discovered
a few weeks, after the Albrit
tons got him and began noticing
he bumped into things and
seemed unable at times to tell
where he was.
Albritton took the pup to a
veterinarian who confirmed the
suspicion that King was blind.
The veterinarian told Albritton
that the dog -had just a little
sight left. However, he said King
has an excellent nose and that
with the use of it, could get
around well in familiar environ
ment. Other Cases Cited
The animal doctor said he
knew of several cases in Jack
son where blind dogs made good
pets and added that some dogs
learn so well that their masters
don't know they are blind.
Albritton confessed he doesn't
have the heart to destroy King,
even if he could unwind his
son's arms from the animal's
neck. King is an affectionate and
friendly puppy and gives signs
of being alert and intelligent.
Albritton added that he
doesn't know what to do about i
the dog, since King never will be
able to Rive his son full com
panionship. "I guess I just want advice,"
he said. ' i ,
The Albrittons said they
would welcome suggestions
from anyone who knows any
thing about playing turnabout .
and being a seeing-cye man for
a blind dog.

Vining Repertory
Company Settles
Into 'Smooth Unit'
The Vining Repertory com
pany, with its production of "The
Importance of Being Earnest
last night in Ashland's Lithia
theatre, recovered from first
night jitters and settled into the
smooth working unit which it
was for the earlier winter sea
son plays.
Those in the audience last
night who had seen the first two
plays said "Earnest" had more
polish and suavity than either of
tne plays given Monday and
Tuesday nights. Of course: Oscar
Wilde's delightful comedy has
been a prime favorite for years
and the wit of his jibes at his
fellow men are just as telling
now as they were when Wilde
penned them.
"Intsjgraied Tm"
Every character In the play
has his share of bright lines, and
as produced by the Vining com
pany, there are no stars only
an integrated team which throws
the ball of repartee back and
forth at a lively pace. Philip
Hanson and H. Paul Kliss are
cast as John (or Earnest) Wor
thing and Algernon Moncrieff,
and give just the right touch to
the characterization of these two
light-minded young men-about-town.
Clara Margaret Daniels domi
nates her scenes as the strong
minded Lady Bracknell and Su
zanne LaMarre Hanson turns in
a fine performance as the twit
tery Miss Prism. Barbara Curtis
is the beautiful Gwendolen Fair
fax and Elmarie Wendel plays
Cecily Cardew, the young ward
who lived a quiet life in the
country.
Compleltly Charming
Mrs. Curtis is completely
charming, both in appearance
and characterization, but Miss
Wendel's husky and intriguing
voice seems too sophisticated to
be convincing as Miss Cardew.
Eddy Barron and Franklin
Reed complete the cast as the
two English butlers.
Richard Graham directs "Ear
nest" and the period costumes
are the work of Eleanor Williams
of Ashland.
Tonight's production ' of the
Vining company will be "Death
of a Salesman," a powerful mod
ern play with Richard Graham
in the leading role. O.S.

Noah Flood Story Best
Known Among Children
Columbus, O. (U.R) The
story of Noah and the flood is
probably the best known biblical
story among children of pre
school age, Dr. Ralph D. Heim
of the Lutheran Theological Sem
inary believes.
He added that Sunday School
children are more famiiiar with
the Book of Matthew than any
book In the Bible and that the
Book of Exodus is used more
by Sunday School teachers than
any other book in the Old Testa
ment. Dr. Heim, who teaches Chris
tian education and the English
Bible in the Gettysburg, Pa
seminary, made his comments
during a conference here in
which he urged that teachers
"find more suitable lesson ma
terials for particular age
groups."
