The name Babbas was foreign

Chapel Hill, Feb. 26-Prof. Frede-
rick H. Koch, Regional Advisor of the
Federal Theatre Projects, reports that
work will begin February u on the
Goldsboro unit.

mont under the direction of Miss Mil
dred Ellis. Miss Ellis has been asso-
ciated with the Wayne p. Sewell Pro-
ducing Company of Atlanta Georgia,
and has had practical experience in
community recreation. Activities
will later be extended to include Mt.
Olive and other centers of interest in
the county.
Charles Stapleton, director of the
Wayne County Community Building,
is volunteering his services to insure
proper local supervision of the pro-
ject.
Members on the payroll of this
project shall assist the Wayne Com
munity Players in carrying out it's ex-
cellent program and in making the
benefits of the organization available
to more people," says Miss Mary

rlner". Nellie and Jane had settled
it between themselves that Miss
Wilma's "fella" was a member Of the
nobility and were f1uttering about in
state Of agitation.
Thora shared their trepidation
somewhat when she saw the recep-
ton cavalcade leave the house.
Marsh, forbiddng but neat, occupied
a seat in the limousine beside his
daughter. with Pat Donahue at the
wheel Ted brought up the rear with
the light truck.
"They must figure his Workshops

That from Katie who had stolen
in from the kitchen to peer over
Thora's shoulder.
The housekeeper nodded absently.
A new problem had assailed her.
What was she supposed to do when
the family and it's guest returned?
Keep out Of sight until dinner time?
Or should she be on hand to usher
the newcomer to his room, see that
his baggage followed him? A hazy
recollection of Little Lord Faunt-
leroy came to mind She seemed to
remember that the houSekeeper and
all the retainers stood in line at the
front door as a committee OF well
come. But that was in England.
She decided that she would open
the front door. allow events to take
their own course.
When the moment came, Wilma
entered-followed by a man so en-
tirely unlike Thora's mental picture
that she caught her breath. A small
man, thin. Thora had a confused
vision of a gray flannel suit. Shin
ing brown hair combed back from a
high white forehead. Two alert gray
eyes, one of them peering through
A monocle!
Wilma bestowed a friendly smile
and nod upon the girl standing mo-
tionless near the foot o. the stairway.
She turned to her guest with an

Thousands Of people subscribe to
these services. When you bring up the
old, and after all rather pertinent,
question-if the prophets know so
much why aren't they making all the
money they want in the market, with
out bothering to solicit petty fees for
their wisdom-you get a blank stare.

NEW YORK, May 20 G.N.S).
Curb stocks staged a minor re-
covery in later dealings. after
opening at moderately lower
levels. Prices were still irregular
however. Trading was again ex-
tremely light.
A few of the active power
shares began a moderate rally
after recent liquidation. Electric
Bond and Share, United Gas and
United Light preferred advanced
fractionally. Puget Sound SIS
preferred met with profit taking,
sagging almost 2 points. The
rest of the list was little changed.
Metals were steady and slightly
higher. New Jersey Zinc climbed
~ points and Consolidated Cop
per worked back to unchanged
levels after reaching new low
for the year. Lake Shore and
Sunshine were up fractionally.
Uncertainty as to crude oil and
gasoline prices due to accumulat-

slightly lower levels again today,

better than at the opening. Cos
