For an ever ture to the dlama. music composed by Miss Corrinne Jcnne, provided a weird background, end gave an added touch of mystery to the metaphysical production written by J. B.

The sound of shot breaking into the monotonous conversational gossip of four women ocntered their thoughts on the un- expected death, by supposed sui eide, of the hosts brother

 Praise should be given to the par ticirants Of the drama because Of their realistic production of the i characters, their thoughts, their mannerisms, their emotions, and their reactions.
 Olwen Peel, the leading lady ex- cellently portrayed by Frances Wor- obec, was a very dramatic and diff ficult roe because of the dual per- sonalities presented
 Fred w. Aver the leading man and incidentally the capable di- ector of the performance, superbly created the character of Charles Stanton, bachelor, likewise the villain
 The hostess in the beautiful country home Treda Chatfield, re- enacted by Edith Daniclsen as the gay and light hearted wife of Ro- bert Chatfield, the brother of the murdered man whom she loved, was done in a remarkable style
 Alex Dreith as Robert Chatfield, took the character of the host, the brother of the murdered man, who was in love with Betty Whitehouse who he pictured as an ideal wo- man, but who, after ferreting to the bottom of the mystery has all his illusions shattered by the truth as so many people actually do when they know the true facts.

Ballot Box Is Curiosity
A SHARP. LOOKOUT

Curiosity may have killed the
cat, but it is publicity boon to
the absentee ballot strong box on
exhibition in the county judges
office at the county courthouse.
IngeniouSiy constructed of heavy
lumber and reinforced with steel
dovetailS to prevent tampering
once it is locked by the four
padlocks, the open box has .ex-
cited no end of interest and
comment from people passing in
and out Of the office.
While The Citizen stood incpn-
spicuously at the side of Judge
Lords office, each Individual
entering carefully inspected the
stronghold, often twanging the
springs arranged under the slot
for the ballots. Under the watch
full eye OF Mrs. John Parks, sec
rotary to Judge Lord, the. newly
constructed box has no chance of
being pilfered.
Although the ballot box will
not be used until around April %
and will then be deposited at
night in the county judges vault,
the courthouse folks just aren't
taking any chances.
Not a haleful, but determine
ed, cautious look turks in the eye
of Mrs. Parks when some admir-
er appears interested enough in
the box to cart it away as a fit
ting piece for his own personal
museum.
"Afraid?" scoffed Mrs. Parks.
."Of course not. But the new
ballot box has all the earmarks
of a circus display. And it is
the newest thing in town..
And SO folks still go on being
curious. The latest in ballot
boxes would figure prominently
lin anyone's private collection of
rare things.

BRITISH ADVISE
SHIP MASTERS OF
FALSE ORDERS
OFFICIALLY RE-
CORDED AS ENEMY TERRI
TORY; NO RATIONING IN
ENGLAND
cBy Associated Press)

LONDON, April 1.-THE Brit
ish Broadcasting Company last
night issued messages to all Nor
wegian and Danish merchant
ships on the high seas. Thisaun-
usual broadcast was deemed
necessary, according to English
officials, because of false orders
sent. out On the air from capitals
of those countries.
BIC told masters of Norwegian
vessels that an order broadcaSted
on the Oslo radio station advis-
ing merchantmen of that country
to proceed at once to neutral
ports was in reality of German
origin. Oslo, the British warn
ing declared, is now in the hands
of Nazis, and the government of
Norway has been established
elsewhere Therefore, the Nor
Wegian government could not
have issued the order, which
would be contrary to it's wishes.
The message to Danish masters
was of a similar nature, except
that it announced the order was
broadcast under duress of Ger
man officials.
BIC advised ships of those
two countries to proceed to Brit
ish or French ports for further
information.
British Treasury yesterday Of
ficially recorded Denmark as
enemy territory and forbade all
English subjects from trading
with that nation. Denmark is
not self-supporting country
and has tor years imported mill
lions of dollars of petroleum,
coal and other necessities from
England. Now that this source
has been discontinued, the Danes
are confronted with serious
problem.
The military and naval actions
in the Scandinavian territory
has disrupted certain source of
food supply for the British Isles,
the Minitery of Economics has
announced. However, the min
istry revealed that no rations
will be invoked as the govern
ment has large reserve to meet
needs for the present.

FORECAST NOT MORE THAN
SIXTY PERCENT OF TOTAL
REGISTRATION WILL VOTE
IN THIS COUNTY

Candidates and others, who
are not candidates but are thor

opinion that much fewer num-

Basing their ideas on the bal
lots cast IN the year 1888, when
there was a qualified list of S.
628 and when the results of the
election showed that but 3,940
votes We're cast, they are of the
opinion that the results of the
first primary will not be as large
as now imagined.
At the office of John England,
supervisor of registration. it was
learned this morning that the
qualified list today shows that
approximately 6,275 registrations
have been recorded but there
will be some Oh these stricken
