rector Stresses Local
Responsibility

The regular quarterly board meet

Cecil county was held on Oct, 20, at
the NJ E. Church House in Mkton.
Miss Beardsell, the director, stress
sed in her report what the RESPONSE
bility of the local community has in
reference to those in need.
Through the Federal Emergency
Relief administration, Cecil county is
receiving financial assistance IN aid

crippled children, widows left with
small children, the aged are normal
ly the responsibility of the local
communities. The depression and
the widespread unemployment is in
no way responsible for their depends
ency. Therefore these unfortunates
must be assisted through loca, funds,
public or private. Miss Beardsell
suggested that an effort be made at
this time to have members of form
er- years renew their membership by
contributing their financial assists
ance at this time.
Because the unemployment work
became too heavy for one person to
handle, Miss Eloise Howard, of Chess
apeake City, has been taken on as a
relief aide to assist with unemploy-
ment work in connection with the
Cecil County Welfare Board. Miss
Marion Sibbett, of Cambridge. who is
in the employ of the Maryland Child-
ren's Aid Society has come to the
county to help in service to children.
She was formerly on the staff of the
Childrens Aid Society of Baltimore
county, and has studied at the New
York School of Social Work. The
State Society has contributed her
services to Cecil county. Miss
Beardsell is connected with both the
Cecil County Welfare Board and the
Children's Aid Society and is acting
in a supervisory capacity.

AT a loss as to what To do, was
on the verge of returning to the
stage when a most welcome sum-

ment wanted me to stage and super

This. Of course, brought me to
California.

By JEAN HERSHOLT

To BE technically correct, Sc
4 ries of conditions and events
brought about my advent into the
movies. First, and probably most
important was the fact that was
born-well. almost-in the theater.
My parents were well-known the
atrical folks and were appearing
in Copenhagen, Denmark. SO from
such an suspicious beginning l was
reared in the atmosphere of painted
canvas, paint and foOtlights,
My early youth was very similar
to most other young folks and after
a high school and college training
| set out to be an artist. A number
of my paintings won prizes and a
bright career doomed up before me
but theatrical blood coursed
through my veins in no uncertain
manner-so tried the stage.
May | say with all due modesty
that / soon became widely known
for my portrayals of characters
from the plays of Ibsen, Strindberg,
Bjornsen and Tolstoy?
The theatrical career, as anyone
may know. Is replete with travel,
and thus | toured all Of Scandi
navia. Here a motion picture. com
pany came into my life, and for
