There was one respect in which
the opening of Song of Bernadette
IN New York last night was unique.
The man who directed the play,
Walter Kerr, was not present for the
opening. Instead, he was back at
Catholic University conducting his
graduate classes in the speech and
drama department.
The reason was none of the Gym
lcal ones that may come to mind
Kerr explains:
MY job there was done. And my
job here had been left undone for
several weeks. There was nothing
more I could do for Song of Ber-
nadette'. There was a lot 1 could do
here, and had not done during the
several weeks I was with the play

cities of our state"
1T is our job as safety minded
people to organize for safety; to
insist upon proper laws, ordinances
and regulations; to demand that the
