The Wilmington morning star., 1947-12-08

Editors Note: Louis ..
Scott, Bladen county CORE
spondent for the Wilmington
Morning Star, has just re-
turned to his home after
spending 10 weeks as a pa.
tent at the Veterans hospi-
tai at Fayetteville. This is his
story of the 10 weeks there.)
BY LOUIS C. SCOTT
Star Correspondent
BLADENBORO, Dec. 7-As an
officer in the local, William Stew
art Ward post No. 26S, American
Legion for about two years / have
heard many complaints of Vet
erans hospitals in general and the
Veterans hospital in Fayetteville
| in particular. Like many, | ac-
cepted these statements as true
During the month of September
was feeling i'll and went to the
Veterans hospital at Fayetteville
| for an examination. Without de-
LAY 1 was interviewed by a staff
Ireceptionist. The interview is
routine but takes only a few
minutes time and in cases of ap-
parent emergency even this is
dispenced with.
A few minutes later I was in
troduced to DR.. Carlton Moore
"a Wilmington native) who was
to give me a primary examination
to determine if disqualification
was necessary. This examination
was completed in less than 10
minutes and then an immediate
X-ray and certain other labora-
tory work was ordered.
There was then an understand
able delay while waiting for re-
ports from the laboratory and
from X-ray. This delay was not
unnecessarily long for I entered
the hospital at about II a. m. and
by three in the afternoon l had
been admitted as a patient.
A few minutes after being ad-
mitted I was called into the ward
doctors office where I was to
meet DR.. (Cap't.) Horace Moore
the ward physician (brother to
DR.. Carleton Moore and also a
Wilmington native)
To meet Captain Moore is a
tonic to anyone who is feeling
below par. From the first warm
smile and handclasp you begin
to feel better. DR.. Moore's per-
sonality and efficiency starts in
spring confidence in his ability
on contact.
During the first afternoon I was
visited by the Rev. Charles A.
jenkins, resident chaplain at the
hospital. A former U. S Army
chaplain with several years ex-
perience in the Orient. A fine
young clergyman and good
man to know.
Then came Mrs. J. L. Norris,
State representative OF the Amer
lean Legion auxiliary. A mighty
fine person who is doing a gigan-
tic Job in the rehabilitation of sick
veterans. A job that is being
greatly handicapped by the
thoughtlessness and indifference
of veterans organizations through
out the state. I do not name
any particular organization be-
cause all are guilty. The Veterans
hospital in Fayetteville is 'ruly a
democratic organization where
all are treated equal egardless
of previous rank, creed, color or
financial status.

with plans for opening a sudio Fauot joined his brother-in-law and sister, MT. and Mrs. George A. Maton. Since arriving he has painted a series of portraits of Es- kimos and Southeast Alaska h. dians, which with his marine oils were displayed at the January an nual Arts and Crafts exhibit. He also acted as display chairman for the showing.
 Thoroughly Trained
 Thoroughly trained in the field of creative art, MT Faurot first studied at Cornish Art School, in Seattle, then took sculpture work at the University of Washington, followed by private work from Mark Toby and Betty McCrait, noted Washington state artists. His first public showing was a modern oil, Prelude in Blue" which re- ceived first place in the Idaho Northwest Competitive Exhibit where it was entered.
 Following the teaching of fine and applied design at the Adult Summer session, University of Idaho, Faurot was invited to do the murals for the Idaho State Normal School. These, painted in 1887, brought invitations for lec- lures and showings of his art sub iects over Idaho, Eastern Wash ington and Utah.
 Later becoming interested in decorating and the commercial possibilities of arts and crafts, he entered the professional field in this work and joined the staff of the Portland store.
 Arts and crafts training avail able to adult Alaska Natives will cover five major fields of indigen- ous materials, the expert explains Consisting of ivory, basketry, wood, lapidary stones, furs and leather Working with these ma terials it is hoped to revive the old and create new shapes, pat terms, and methods of treatment.

NEW SUPERVISOR
 ARTS AND CRAFTS
 FOR ANS I5 NAMED
f. Seymour Faurot, Crea five Artist, Appointee,
 Says Dr. c. A. Dale

F Seymour Faurot, creative ar tist and market specialist in key ing handcraft products to market demands who most recently was associated with the Portland, Ore, department store of Meier and Franks, has been named to thc position of supervisor of arts and crafts for the Education Division of the Alaska Native Service, ac- cording to announcement of pr. George A. Dale, Director of Edu- cation.
 MT Faurot's responsibilities in his new position will be two-fold, involving presentation of sus- tained creative arts program as part of the educational curriculum of ANS schools which is closely related to the artistic inheritance of the Native children; and sec- ondly, training Alaska Native ar lists to utilize additional indigen- GUS raw materials which exist abundantly in the locality. such as the richly grained red cedar in Southeast Alaska or the wealth of native lapidary stones in Alaska, and keying such products to mar ket demands.
 Broadened Program
 Such broadened program for adult handcraft production as slack season employment is all-impor- tant in providing steady year round income" Dr. Dale explain ed. And with the steadily de- creasing supply of raw ivory, for instance, it is vitally necessary to introduce additional raw materials. Once these products are produced and saleable, they become the con- cern of the Native Resources Divis- ion of ANS and reach the markets through the Arts and Crafts clear ing house, for which Donald L. Burrus is store manager.
 Tn contradistinccion, art work supervised in the schools by MT. Faurot will have as it's first aim the joy of creative expression. His job will be to instruct teachers in methods of executing a sustained creative arts program. Utilizing his own versatile talents, he will demonstrate how to draw, model and carve, introducing new color, materials, designs and tools" pr. Dale stated, toward the end that arts and crafts may become both fun and profitable for all who create"

popularity in Assam, which is right

covered why, but Lay That Pistol

top of the Assamese Hit Parade.
When I returned to New York at the
start of 1914 I found, however, that
these were not the popular songs In
my native land.
America had taken up the singing
of tunes named People Will Say
We're in Love-" THE Surrey With the
Fringe on Top" "Oh, What Beauti-
full Mornin'," "Out of My Dreams"
Many New Day" and "Oklahoma!"
These were the songs on the tip of
everybody's tongue and at the tip OF
every bandleader's baton.
All this wonderful music seemed to
indicate that three or four new musi-
Gals had arrived. You can imagine
the surprise that came with the re-
port that all was from the same

score composed entirely of hit tunes.

to that. Their names are Richard

understand now how these people
felt.

and for the joyous playing of the
cast. "Oklahoma!" Is as fresh as a
breeze sweeping down the plain and
as refreshing as a beautiful mornin'
The Theater Guild, happily, seems
to desire that no one shall ever see
"Oklahoma!" at less than its best.
The current production is clean and
painted and starched as
if it were brand new instead of the
touring company of the show that is
oldest current attraction.
The only yardstick I have for
of this cast with previous
ones is q radio performance of II

Celeste Holm deliver one day in the

must say that Patricia Shay also
makes a humorous Ado Annie.

'Oklahoma!' a Fresh Delight
To Reviewer From Burma
By Joy cormody

1t is not that man gets tired of

1t is rather that he begins to feel

After all the Theater Guild has mil

hundreds OF thousands of Ameri-

have memories of how happy they
we're the nights they gave their
money to the Theater Guild.
Naturally, man who has seen it
six or seven times begins to have a
disturbing fancy that everyone else
has seen 1t too. This is not healthy,
but what to do, what to do?
Wen, the answer is really amaz-
lngly simple. You just look in the
next office and there you find a
short, broad sort of fellow with a

the Washington Monument.

ought to see it again
