District Court, after plead ing guilty, observers noted she was minus one thing her knitting bag. ALUMNI OUT IN FORCE Quincy, Mich.

Bowmer, pointing out the aesthetic and material values of the festival, held annually at Ashland, outlined to Kiwanians why they should be interested in the festival and Shakespeare. The speaker said that Shakes peare, next to the King James version of the Bible, has had the greatest influence on Amer ican culture. Drama, Bowmer explained, shows man in action. People can see the causes and results of 'action and see what makes man do the thing he does. However, Bowmer brought out that the enjoyment gained from the productions is reason enough for the festival. The festival, owned by residents- of the valley, has shown financial advancement each year and a large increase this year is foreseen, Bowmer reported. He said that last year 51 per cent of the audience was from outside the valley and that hotel and motel owners estimated that vis itors spent $255,000 here. . Ticket sale percentages this year are running 75 per cent from outside the vallev and ac cording to Bowmer. .He said that money from admissions to the festival goes into expansion of the project. Kiwanians and families will picnic next Wednesday after noon and evening at Table Rock estates. There will be a lunch eon at the country club but it will not be a regular meet ing.
