BLIND SHOP MAKES PROGRESS

The Blind Shop in Wilmington has
made an encouraging progress during
the past three months. Mr.. James
Wyatt (blind) has taken charge Of the
broom shop and introduced two new
blind men to this vocation and has pro-
duced as many as twenty-five dozen
brooms per week. The looms have been
busy and kept our two weavers fully
occupied. The chaircaining fell off in
the early months of the quarter but
through the courtesy of the newspapers
and some soliciting the hand Gamers
have been kept busy. In the woven
seats set by glued spline, we have intro
duced q new worker and are much en-
couraged that this case may be put on
self.supporting basis through his
progress in this branch of chair work.
Our supervisor has been sent to all
our factories and merchants. and
through the good will of these kind
friends of the blind the business OF
several departments have been aug.
mented and all our workers given full
time and Christmas happiness.
The concert of the blind and for thu
blind will be given this year on the thir
teenth of February at the Playhouse
Our effort is to make this concert thu

1.-THE BAT" AT PLAYHOUSE

Coming direct to The Playhouse,
Wilmington, on Monday, February 9th
from record breaking run of nineteen
consecutive weeks at The Adelphi
Theatre, Philadelphia, will be the
famons dramatic sensation, ''The Bat"
new mystery play by Mary Roberts
Rhinehart and Avery Hopwood.
The story is one of mysterious
criminal who has .bsffled the police by
series of crimes As sort of trade-
mark the criminal leaves behind him
the name 1.-The Bat".
An elderly maiden lady and her niece
rent country home. They are immedi.
ately made the objects of unwelcome
attentions from an intruder. Suspicion
finally points to 1.-The Bat" as perpe-
traitor of the outragea.
The eventual trapping OF the criminal
and the disclosure Of h identity form
the basis of the truly mystifying story
Mrs. Rinehart and Mr.. Hopwood have
woven together. Just how we'll they
have done their work is perhaps best
attested by the lavishness of the praise
heaped on them by the out-of-towr
critics and public. The sole criticism-ii
| it can be called such-that the author,
have been forced to acknowledge is thai
they have done their work too well.
Certain it is that no plsy seen in year!
is quite so tightly packed with thrills
quite so filed with unexpected twists
and quite SO breath-taking in the rapid
| ty and intensity of its action. One OBJ
servant person intimated that future
audiences might well be asked to sub
nit to blood test before being admit
| ted to the theatre.
Wagenhals and Kemper Company
have assembled cast which stand
| forth for it's all-round excellence.

ROTARY LUNCHEON

o @ @ o @ @ o q, @ o O. @ o o o o
On Tuesday the Rotarians will
have as their guests the senior class
of Newberry college as is their annual
custom. There will be thirty-nine of
the collegians in addition to the club
membership of twenty-four which
makes right jolly party and just the
size to have rousing good time.
The program for this luncheon has
not been announced but the clubs
president and secretary, in conjunc-
ton with other members, are working
on something out of the ordinary to
present and doubtless there will be
an excellent hour and quarter pro-
vided for the guests of honor. One
thing which has been decided is that
since the students see so much of Sid
Derrick over at the college that he
will have very little part on the pro-
gram, for the seniors will get some
thing different from what they have
each and every day of the college
season.
At this luncheon Hask Kibler will
make his permier appearance as club
president and no doubt he will get a
royal welcome, perhaps he will be
"kidded" some but Hask can we'll
take care of himself and the members
are looking to him for a year Of bril-
liant presiding and year of good
things done by the club, at his direc-
tion. 60
The different committees for the
coming Rotary year have not been
appointed but the officers and direc-
tors are:
President, Hask .Kibler.
Vice president, Sid Derrick
Secretary and treasurer, Hal kohn.

Tb. Death of Mrs. Amos Berley

Mrs. Maryann Louvania . Berley
died Friday morning, April 18th, at
IL o'clock, at her home near st.
Johns, age 6S years, 10 months, 21
days. She leaves a devoted husband
and seven children, and nineteen
grandchildren, and host of relatives
and friends. She was member of
st. Johns Lutheran church. She was
a kind and affectirnate wife and mo-
ther. She calmly passed away as II
falling asleep in the Masters arms.
God called her home,
He thought it best;
To our mother he said,
Come, III give thee rest"
A face we loved to see is hidden,
A voice we loved to hear is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
Empty is her chair,
Dark is her room,
For the angel has come
And carried her home.
All is dark within our home,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed AVA.
Yet again we hope to meet you
When the day Of life has fed,
And in heaven with JOY to greet you
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Written by her daughter Louvania.
