Authorities Work Together

In the Utopian School things
are all different-there is coor-
dination between the principal.
the doctor, the nurse and the
teacher. The pupils are treated
like reasonable human beings. The
parents are constantly consulted.
Pupils, parents and teachers get
some respect for the value of
long-range health record. Physi-
cal defects are treated by search
ing for the cause, instead of
smoothing them down with
placebo.
THE educative value Of the
health service program depends
partly on the personality Of the
school personnel, and partly on
the development OF the art side
Of medicine, in contrast to the
science side"

RED CROSS HEADS CHANGED
Lewes Branch Has First Change
of Officers i'm Nearly 25 Years

The Lewes Branch of the Amer
lean Red Cross, Delaware Chapter,
has undergone a complete reorgan-
ization with a change of officers
from the group that has served for
nearly 25 years. The Rev. Nelson
Waite Rightmyer, rector of st.
Peters Church at Lewes and other
Episcopal parishes of that vicinity,
was elected chairman at meeting
Tuesday night of last week at the
residence of Mrs. Roman Tam
many on Second Street. Mrs.
Margaret McVaughn of Whining
ton, director of state branches, was
In charge of the reorganization.

year. Wiseacres said it couldn't be
done; that Hamlet, always the
simultaneous ambition and despair
of dramatic actors, would never hold
American audiences for five hours.
Mr.. Evans thought differently, box
office receipts, most potent of argu-
ments, proved that he was right.
To the average American, the
character of Hamlet presents hazy
picture of an unpleasant man who
wanders around talking to himself
and doing fantastic remorse scenes.
Margaret Case Hartman, who has
story about Evans in
Cosmopolitan, quotes the actor as
saying:
Little by little, actors have been
so carried away by 'Hamlet's' elo-
cutional possibilities that they have
forgotten to give the audience an
interesting show. With my produc-
ton, the play is indeed the thing.
Incidentally, in the restored (origi-
nall version, Hamlet himself does
not hog the stage as much as he
does in the cut versions"
All of which seems to pretty we'll
shoot full of holes the old Broadway
theory that American audiences
want hokum. If they can get good
plays with good actors they will sup
port the productions, length or no
length, subject or no subject.

Radiant Living
THE UNBURDENED
BY Rev. @. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

You are often reminded of the
words of that homely philosopher
who said: Il have had many troub-
les in my life, many of which new
er happened"
Like him, many of our troubles
are anticipated ones. We see them
in the future waiting for us.
If there is to be trouble for us
tomorrow, why not wait until to-
morrow before we become anxious
about it? Why let tomorrow's
troubles spill over into and spoil
today's happiness?
Do not take me to mean, how
ever, that like the proverbial asst
rich, you are to thrust your head
into the sand of indifference. An
ticipated trouble should be met in
advance by thoughtful but unwor-
ried planning either to avoid that
trouble or to overcome it.
Although it is impossible for us
to avoid meeting conditions and
facing anticipated trouble which
are serious enough to arouse the
greatest anxiety, yet it is possible
by the grace of God to protect one
self in such situations from the
deadly assaults of worry.
Why not regard worry as chal-
lenge to ones faith in God? Should
we not try to get to that place in
spiritual culture where we shall be
able to transform every worry into
a living vital throbbing trust in
God?
Many have not as yet attained
the ability to live daily life filed
with joy unmarried by anticipat-
ed trouble, yet there is such a vic
torious life awaiting you.
To live today life unburdened
by the anticipated troubles of to-
morrow is to attain in spiritual de-
velopment an achievement that is
indeed an outstanding victory in
Christian radiant living.
Are you longing to have more
radiant life? Write to Rev. G. NJ.

Loan Sharks Ruthless
INVESTIGATION year ago Of
a double murder in San Antonio

INVESTIGATION year ago Of
a double murder in San Antonio,
Texas, disclosed a motive melted
by Americas most vicious racket
loan sharking. The victims in
this case were young electrician
and his wife, and their plight is told
by Henry Pringle in the August
issue of Good Housekeeping. Sick
ness in the family brought a need
for money, and the husband was
foolish enough to borrow from a
loan shark. He borrowed only $50,
but at the time of his death he had
paid a total of $256 and still owed
$78. Dismissed from his job because
of inefficiency, and deserted by his
wife because of surliness from his
worrying, he finally lost his reason
and shot his wife and himself. Let
this be warning, Mr.. Pringle says,
that money should be borrowed only
from well-established bank or loan
organization.

League
(BY LEFTY
New Officers

Pat DWyer, president; Angie
Mambruno, secretary; Frank Tehan,
treasurer; these are the new officers.
They were elected at meeting
held after bowling Monday night
Congratulations
The following was also voted at
the meeting:
a. Any member absent for two
consecutive weeks without a good
and sufficient reason will automati-
cally be dropped from the league.
b. A fine of 10 cents In addition
to the regular weekly assessment of
Is cents will be imposed on all who
are absent.
C. The season will last n weeks.
There was some unfinished bus
mess, but the meeting was adj
journed because of the heat.
How About IL?
We respectfully suggest to the
president and members of the
league that a social committee be
appointed. Last year the league was
a success, but to great extent, this
was due to its extra curricula activ-
ities-its matches with the Sacred
Heart, Scovill and Hartford Office
Mixed Leagues and its skating
parties. We know several who would
like to become members of the
league because Of these activities,
and a large percentage of the pres
emit members enjoy them. We believe
that thy should be made a part of
the present seasons program.
On this committee we would like
to see:
/. The officers, ex-officio.
2. From Leavenworth street -
John Kearney who supervised all
last years activities, Doris Braun
who arranged for most of the favors
at the banquet and Doris Cosgrovc
who came across with the idea for
the entertainment at the banquet.
3. From Naugatuck, Will knight,
an authority on having-a-good- time
procedure.
4. From Freight street, Alice
Benson, Helen Roberts and Joe May
who would aid Pat Dwyer in looking
after the interests Of the service
building members.
A properly active committee would
provide Just the necessary outside
activity needed to keep interest In
the league alive.

enthusiastic member, missed the
