PUPILS PRESENT
 DADDY LONG LEGS
Miss Cornell And Ken. meth Perrine Star In
 Play At High School

Miss Elizabeth Cornell. as Judy Ab- bolt, and Kenneth Perrine, as Jervis Pendleton, supported by one of the best amateur casts ever seen in Bir- mingham, made the presentation of Jean Webster's Daddy Long Legs" at the Phillips High school auditorium Fri day night one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season.
 Much of the credit for the play enthusiastic reception by a represent ative Birmingham audience that prac- tically filled the large auditorium is due to Miss. Leila Mae Smith, the di- rector, whose task it was to train the youthful actors and assure a touch of art to the production as a whole.
 The play itself was not new to a Birmingham audience, having been pre- sented by professional companies sew eral times, But there was a novelty to the manner of it's production Friday night that distinctly set it apart.
 Indeed everyone who took part in the performance deserves special praise for it's success. Not the least of these is the Phillips High school orchestra, directed by Miss Helen Warner, which rendered several selections between the acts and as an overture. '"The Song of India" and the Marriage of Figaro" were especially enjoyed.

 Rigid economy and a conservative business administration are other things I stand for. I believe board members should give their full time to the coun- ty's business. It would be my policy to make frequent trips over the county to familiari2e myself with the needs and viewpoints of the people.
 We need business. men on the board. I have been in business 15 years and have been successful, and if elected, would handle the peoples business in the same conservative manner l have tried to handle my own affairs."

Both practical and theoret- ical instruction will be afforded, it has been announced.
 In commenting on the donation, Colo nel R. A. Mitchell, vice president of the Alabama Power company; said,

 Take the cabinet. As such, it is un- known either to the constitution or the statutes, although heads of depart, ments are provided for by law, writes Albert J. Beveridge, in the Saturday Evening Post.
 But the cabinet, as such, is exclu. sively the creation and creature of the President. By custom it meets twice a week; yet the President need not call it together. at all. He can, should and does consult his cabinet and in- dividual members of it, but he is not obliged to do so.
 In short, these men are, in legal ef- feet, merely agents of the President Their acts are his acts. The secretary of state is no more than the represent. ative of the President in charge of for eign affairs, and the President can dis miss this head of his cabinet or any member of it without cause

A powerful cabinet can go far to make up for the deficiencies of weak President, and afford add strength to a strong one.
 Excepting only justices of the su- preme court of the United States and other federal judges, the President can dismiss any official he appoints. He appoints by and with the advice and consent of the Senate in most cases, but he can dismiss without the advice and consent of the Senate.
 This exclusive power of dismissal was sharply disputed in the Senate dur ing the first Congress. and denied by law to President Johnson. But the consensus of opinion now is that re- moval is an exclusively executive func- finu
