 George and Margaret is the comedy by Gerald Savory which enjoyed such Q successful run in London in 1887 that it was brought to New York, with the English cast practically intact, where it ran for several months during the early part of this year. New York critics were more than generous in their praise of the hilarious pro- duction, and only by special ar rangement was the Waterbury Civic Theater able to obtain per- formance rights.

SOUTHWARK HO!

Remember the cry that was rails
ed against the trailer when it first
came into popular being? They con-
tinued to grow in numbers until q
trailer no longer existed as q nov
city but became an established
modern convenience and means
of sensible transportation for tour
lists and short-term pleasure seek
ers. There isn't village today the
size of Kennewick or even smaller,
where someone living there hasn't
trailer, who has been in one or is
well-acquainted with a man who
owns one. In other words, trailers
are accepted in good society. Nc
longer is the trailer a menace to
the people but a boon to the man
with the wherewitha1 to seek his
climate. At this time of year the
southern highways are alive with
trailers of northern citizens who mi
CRATE to the sunnyland to cut out
coal and cough-syrup. There are
towns all over the country where
residents are getting things ir
shape to leave for the south. Othel
folks have already arrived in the
warm zone and, no doubt, started ir
to acquire tan.
The man who tried to keep out
the horseless buggy and the mar
who would pass a law against thu
invasion are living in the SAME
world, apart from a changing uni
verse. There are fewer commune
ties barring the trailer than las
year and as time goes on those VIII
have placed regulations agains
them will realize, as have tn
states, that the trailer home is her
to stay. s...-. .--.. -.

WHY GUNS?

WHY IUNS!
A woman told us she had read, in
a magazine for parents, the sound
advice of watchful and careful buy
ing in regard to toys for children's
Christmas gifts. The move to for
ward instructive toys rather than
destructive ones goes on each year
by various groups interested in the
moral welfare of the nations youth.
And each year the counters and
windows display war toys, guns
big guns and little guns-but guns!
You have seen children of sensible
parents engaged in a battle OF
gangster. Wise heads have already
warned us in Kennewick and every
other American community Of the
dangerous result of playing at
crime. In New York state Grand
Jury advocated a law prohibiting
the manufacture of toy pistols. This
body also deals with the parents,
who permit their children to flour
ish guns. This latter has not the
meaning without the success Of the
former idea. With all the modern
games on the market today, the
wood burning sets, carpenter out
fits, printing sets, chemistry out
fits, erection sets, modelling clays
puzzles, books, and on and on
why guns?
