From the inception of the Tha-
liam Association, it's history has
pointed to progressive and ex-
detrimental spirit. The continuity
Of this liberal and progressive Lit
tie Theater movement is carried
forward today by an increasingly
active ITALIAN membership. A de-
sire for variety and experiment
has been a motivating factor in
the choice Of plays for the current
season.
The presentation OF folk plays
is not new to this community, but
the appearance of them is too rare
ly experienced. On occasions Prof
fessor Koch Of the University of
North Carolina, nationally known
for his Carolina Folk Plays, has
brought his company of players
here for the rich enjoyment of the
city.
Folk plays are as old as the
theater itself. They spring from
the roots of provincial life of all
countries. They portray and inter
pref the rich heritage of sections
of nations, great and small alike.
In our own country they represent
the elements of the tremendous
American panorama of life. The
folk play. then, has its rightful
place in the legend and lore of the
American theater. A current ex-
ample is the popular Broadway
production "Oklahoma'', which is
a folk play set to music.
With these matters in mind, the
Association decided upon a folk
play sthe third production of the
1943-44 season. The T'leater Guild
few years ago had produced
play by Patterson Greene, Papa
Is Alp concerned with the Men
MONTE religious sect near Lancas-
ter, Pa. This story of the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch with its unusual reli-
gious beliefs and quaint, plain
ways was chosen by the Thalians
for it's elements of human drama,
of ingenious plot and shrewdly
carved characterization Here was
a moving comedy of the simple
people who are a part of Ameri-
cana.
The cast of Papa Is ALP in
cludes the following people: Miss
Hester Donnelly, new to the Tha-
lians, interp-ets the stolid Ger
man mama Aukamp' with
sure realism.
Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, Mrs.
Yoder", friendly neighbor, deft-
ly furnishes the comedy relief.
Miss Dorothy R. Arthur as EN-.

The adult volunteer workers who
serve as troop leaders, committee
members and consultants for Girl
Scouting get as much fun and ben
eft out of their Scout work as the
girls themselves, according to Miss
Elizabeth Ijams, of the Girl Scout
national staff. Visiting Wilmington
!. in her official capacity as Field
Adviser, Miss Ijams viii confer
with local Council members, lead
ers, staff and civic officials.
q Women become interested in
Girl Scouting as service to the
iris, and then discover that
they've done themselves good
turn, too. They, develop new in
ssterests, hobbies and friends-and
association with the younger gen.
Grafton rejuvenates their own spir-
its and point of view" Miss 1jams
said.
: She described one leader whose
Girl Scout training course in folk
songs and song leading had start
ed her on the absorbing and re-
-warding hobby of collecting work
songs and sectional music of our
country. This woman now has a
fine collection and is considered
something Of an authority on the
subject. Another volunteer leader,
who learned the Girl Scout outdoor
cookery tachniQues to teach to her
troop, found that she had acquired
a skill which was great social
asset. Her outdoor. suppers be-
came famous among her friends:
she began to collect recipes-and
presently found herself writing ar
ticles on the subject.
The greatest satisfaction of all,
according to Miss Ijams, is help
ing girls realize that they, too, can
have part in the important
events of our time. Thousands Of
Girl Scouts are taing part il
the war effort, by collecting sal
wage, working for or in hospitals.

alone, can offer one pair of hands
to volunteer war services, but if
she leads or aids a Girl Scout
Troop she finds she has 20 or
more pairs of hands for the same
job! In addition to the things &C
complished-the tons of waste fats
collected, the miles of bandages
rolled, the dozens of jars or vage-
tables canned - the Girl Scout
leader has the satisfaction of know
ing that the girls themselves have
benefited by the work they have
done for their country.
The girls themselves have found
in Scouting an answer to their de-
sire to be of service to their coun-
try, according to Miss Ijams.
Membership in the Girl Scouts has
increased more than % per cent
since Pearl Harbor, and there
are nearly million girls taking
part in the program. Many more
would join if room could be found
for them in the already over-crowd-
ed troops.
More leaders ana adult volun-
teers is the answer" Miss Ijams
said. Even though tn ere are
nearly 100000 women - and men,
too - enlisted in Girl Scouting,
twice as many could be used. Any
woman who can give an hour OF
two wek-or a month-to the
girls of her community will find
a job for he-~ in Girl Scouting -
and one which yiu repay her
thousandfold in the kind of salts
faction which no money can buy"

West Jefferson Merchants
Have Plenty OF Gifts For
Last-Minute Shoppers

Santa Claus visited West JEFF
ferson last Saturday, where he
greeted a large number of child
rem inspite of the cold weather.
He will be here again Saturday
and will be happy to see all child
rem as we'll as grown-ups.
Local merchants report a good
Christmas business but there is
still, however, a good selection
of gifts items to choose from, here,
as we'll as practical, disable merch-
andise. A survey shows that many
people are making purchases from
practical gifts such as clothes,
furniture or other disable items
this year.
Santa is expected to visit the
various stores again Saturday and
talk with the children and find
out their wishes in time for Christ
mas.
The public is cordially invited
by merchants to do their shop
ping in West Jefferson and bring
the children to see Santa.
