grub damage each year would sup

1912 carcass trimming losses from
grub damage amounted to nearly IL
million pounds of meat To Offset the
loss on grubby cattle, packers are
forced to make a discount Of from

Camphor Memorial Methodist
Church Notes: "The Crusade for
Christ" was the subject of the SER
mon at the II a. m. service last
Sunday, of DR.. ". Il. Williams of
Detroit, our district superintendent.
In this sermon our district leader
outlined the principles underlying
the great program "The Crusade
for Christ" that has been laid out
for the denomination during the
next four years. The first phase
of the Crusade is to raise $25, 00O,-
900 for world Relief and Recon-
struction.
The Chicago District, of which
We are a part, has been asked to
raise $4,000 of this amount and
5000 is to be raised by US here at
the Camphor church by April 1,
1945. Surely out of the grateful
ness in our hearts for being able to
burn two mortgages, as we did Sun
day, we will raise our quota of the
Crusade money, as a token of
thanhulness to God and the church.
Other things to be emphasized in
this four year Crusade are evangel-
ism, stewardship and increased
Sunday School enrolment.
The mortgage on the church
building was burned at the $3.50
p. m. service and the mortgage on
the parsonage was burned at the
evening worship service.
Our pastor, Rev. Clarence T. R,
Nelson, will preach at both services
Sunday. He will speak on the sub
ject, ave Praise Thee o God" at
the IL a. m. service.-Church Re-
porter.

son, under the skillful direction of
this century's Shakespearean auth
ority, Margaret Webster, daughter
of Dame May Witty, which comes
to the Lyceum Theatre on Deem
Der IL for three evenings and a
Wednesday matinee.
Never before has the Bard's most
controversial play dealing with the
love of the black Moor, beloved war
rior, for the delicate and beauti-
full aristocratic Desdemona, taken
on the significance and Importance
which Mr.. Robson and Miss Hagen
give it in this year of 1944-a year
in which whole races of people have
been set against each other and ma
tons against nations.
Since seeing the play at Prince
ton last summer, one can readily
see the amount of loving care, hard
work and thought which has gone
into the production by its director,
producer and the cast. Cuts have
been made in too-long dialogue,
scenes have been broken up-the
actors are far more proficient and
at ease in their roles-and the sets
are unobtrusive, handsome and in
the mood of the play.
"Othello" has been interpreted
through the centuries mostly by
white men. However, Ira Aldridge
the American Negro Shakespearian
actor, played the role in the middle
Nineteenth Century in the great
cities Of Europe, but never in this
country.
Mr.. Robson, with his deep bari
tone voice, easily dominates the
stage when he is on, which is most
of the time. He brings to the role
a rich, simple clarity which hits
its mark whether he is called on to
portray tenderness or jealousy.
Even to the violent scenes which
brings on fit of epilepsy, he brings
the feel of a quiet, sincere, simple
dignity, mingled with Illustration.
His scenes with Desdemona
(played by Uta Hagen), are the
essence of tenderness and good
taste. He has the ability, as do
few actors, to project over the foot
lights into the very last rows of
the theatre, a warmth and a SYM
patty for the character that he
is playing, a quality every actor
strives for but seldom attains.
Mr.. Robson has done what so
many have said could not be done
successfully and that is, he has
taken onto the stage his ideals, be-
iefs and hopes. Mr.. Robson has
not only shaped his career in the
theatre around his fight for the
rights of all men, but by God, he
is making it pay off.
