will be the Caliban.
Last season Miss Webster Sc
lected Paul Robson for the title
role in "Othello," and with
smashing success. A firm believ-

tors, she considers this choice
Of 1 Caliban a further tribute to
the acting talent of that race.
II think the role In some ways
an advance on Othello," said
Miss Webster recently. at is a
most difficult one, for Caliban is
not really human being. He is
Shakespeare's idea of the eyolu-
ton of animal creatures into
man. and while the part has its
comedy, it also has meanings that
lie below the surface. Caliban
finds, for one thing, that free
dom means responsibility and in
telligence is necessary in human
beings.
Lee achieved major stature
with his stage portrayal of Big
ger Thomas in Native Son.. Most

Maiden Pastor and Wife
Enjoy Varied Vacation

MAIDEN - Just back from a
vacation among relatives and
friends in three States. Rev.
James L. Jackson, pastor OF
Eastern Ave. Baptist Church, and
Mrs. Jackson report a most in
tresting trip which was varied
by many highly enjoyable ac-
tivities.
with us when we left Boston
were Virginia Jackson, w. w.
Jackson, Jr. When we reached
New York, the party began to
separate. William was put on
the train for Asbury Park, N. J.,
to spend his vacation with his
grandmother, Mrs. Thomas. vir-
ginia left for Philadelphia to be
with her siSter-in-law and later
went to Winslow, N. J., to be
with her mother and father-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. B. Handy. Mrs.
Jackson and l remained in New
York City to spend a few days
with James L. jackson, Jr. and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. S. L. Jack
son and son, Of Corona, N. Y.
We didn't have time to see much
of the city for the families were
far apart. From New York we
went to Philadelphia to visit our
oldest son, DR.. Charles Jackson
and family. In Philadelphia we
had to divide our time with some
of our old friends.
ION Saturday the eighteenth,
our son took US to Carlisle, Pa. to
see my sister and family, MIR. and
Mrs. Eugene Gatewood. It was in
Carlisle just forty-five years ago
that our first wedding reception
was held. Only a few are left
who were present on that occa-
sion. However, the cordial greet
ingS that we received from the
few and those who met us for
the first time made up for the
few who knew us years ago. At
the Pomfret Street A. M. e.
Church, the church in which I
worked, found Rev, Fortune as
the Pastor. He just would hear
me speak. There was JOY mingl-
ed with sadness as I looked over
the congregation. Nevertheless
we had a lovely time. Rev. r. L.
Heck, pastor of the Shiloh Bap-
list, was on the Job for he had
come to my sisters to meet US
and had made an engagement
for me to speak for him at his
evening service. There we met
more of our old friends and we
had an excellent time. Both
churches are in splendid condi-
ton and looked as if the interior
decorator had just finished his
work.
I'VE then took an unexpected
trip to airmount Heights, Mary
land, a town which is a colored
enterprise. My niece and her
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. william
Kinds, live there. The town has
a population of about three thou

AIM AT THE CONTRACT

THERE is one kind of situation
IN which trying a finesse is abso-
.utely certain to bring one Of two
results-either gain a trick or lose
\ trick. In other words. winning
he finesse is sure to cause two
.ricks difference in the overall re-
suit, That Is when the dummy
contains only worthless cards
cept for the ace-queen of some one
suit, opposite a low singleton in
1eclarer's hand. Playing to the ace
gives a neutral result. Trying the
hnesse then either gives n more
than the neutral result or else pro-
duces one trick less The question
of whether to fnesse or not, in
that case, should generally depend
on whether a winning finesse is
necessary to make the contract.

Special Services in the Mediter-

Ed Gardner, the Archie" of the

In criticizing the USO and Special

fits with pull could get four shows
in four days while lot Of outfits

(Mr. Gardner announced he
would protest to the Hollywood
Victory Committee and the
Screen Actors Guild)
Col. David asserted that ut is not
true that some outfits didn't see a
show in two years. What is true, Of
course, is that some outfits didn't
see all the shows they would have
liked to see and that we would have
liked to give them"
He added that some shows, like
Mr.. Gardner's and Frank Sinatras,
were only in italy short time,
with the result not as many people
saw them as wanted"
Col David said special service
audiences totaling 5,500,000 attended

which he declared was better than

D. {. Auditor Explains
Latest Pay Puzzle

Although checks have been issued
to District employees under the va
rious pay bills after several weeks
delay caused by confusion over
changes in the law, District Auditor
Arthur r. Pilkerton still is receiving
telephone complaints.
For several weeks his Office was
receiving complaints because of the
delay in payment, a delay that in
some cases amounted to almost two
weeks. Now he Is getting complaints
because the checks sometimes are
smaller than they used to be, de-
spite the pay raise.
Mr.. Pilkerton has a simple answer
for this. Municipal employees will
now be paid Is times year instead
Of "A, which makes the checks bit
smaller. In addition, the pay. raises
placed some employees IN higher
tax bracket, which increased the
