"BHthe Spiriit"
Goes Into Final
Practice To-day

Final rehearsals are being
held for "Bithe Spirit, the first
Thalian play of the season,
which will be presented in the
auditorium of the New Hanover
High school on Wednesday at
$3.50 pm.
The public is cordially invited
to attend. Anyone who is not
a member of the Thalan Asso-
citation may obtain tickets at
the box office the night of the
play
Tie author of the play, Noel
Coward, is one of the most pop
u!ar of modern play writes
plays to his credit as "Private
with such happily remembered
Lives" "Bitter Sweet, and
"Cavalcade."
Perhaps the most significant
reason for his success is that
he knows all the phases of stag
ing play from personal ex-
perience. He had his first part
on the London stage as boy
of ten and has been closely af-
filiated with the theater ever
since. Noel Coward is extreme
ly versatile. He can sing. he
can act, he can write all kinds
of plays, and has even done
several revues. He has written
the book, the lyrics, and the
music for a musical revue. He
even helped the costume chair
man to select 300 frocks for
members of the cast in This
Year of Grace" The Prince of
Wales was so delighted with
one of Coward's songs that he
had it repeated nine times at
a charity ball.
But it is not for the author s
versatility that Wilmington
play-goers will want to see
"Blithe Spirit" this Wednesday
night. It'll be to see and hear
the repartee and situations for
which Coward's plays are SO
famous, and which the Thalian
cast does so we'll. Everyone on
stage, the directors, were all
selected to give the best eve
ning's entertainment possible.

sen, president of the society,
presided over the affair.
The cafeteria was decorated
with red roses, smilax and flow
ers in crimson and gold, colors
of the society.
The members initiated we e
Mrs. T. T. Hamilton, Mrs. Edy-
the Winningham, Mrs Lillian R.
Ray, Mrs. Virginia McDougal
and Miss Elizabeth Clay. Miss
Shannon Morton's membership
was transferred from another
chapter of the society. Miss Mort
on is teacher in the college here.
Speaker of the evening was
Mrs. Helen McMurry, voice
teacher from Marion, who was
here attending the Southeastern
District of Music clubs meet
ing in session Saturday.
Mrs. McMurray illustrated
her talk with song to the ac-
compartment of an auto-harp,
an instrument used great deal
in musical therapy in hospitals.
She said that history of the last
ten years might have been quite
different if the nations had
sung the music and folk songs
of one another. 1t is infinitely
more important what we cause
children to love than what we
cause them to know, she added.
"-2hythm," she said, keeps
one in tune with the universe.
Melody keeps one in tune with
the will of God; harmony keeps
us in tune with our fellowmen,"
she concluded.

Not the least OF the areas in which
the peace has yet to be won is the
shopping front Housewives glared
at lax salesgirls during the war
years. vi day and the years since
have done little to diminish the
glare. Complaints about service In
the stores, poor delivery of articles,
and a general failure to return to
the pre-war level have persisted.
The excuse for the faulty service
furnished by the war is claimed no
longer valid, with fingers pointing
to the fact that wartime reasons
for faulty service no longer exist.
An executive of one of Washing
tons largest department stores
stated that, in many cases. the
public is completely justified in its
complaint. Were conscious of the
problem" he says. We're trying to
disseminate to salespersons the de-
sire to restore service to the custom
er. Much of this was lost during
the war. You don't build it up again
easily"
Absenteeism is still big problem,
and lack of responsibility toward
ones job is another. Easily accessi-
BILE wartime jobs have contributed
to this attitude. ...
u. S. E. 8. bears out the gentle
mans statement. The standards OF
service found prior to the war are
noticeably missing in all fields. not
just in the merchandising business,
they declare. There's also con-
siderable amount of seasonal en-
ploying in large stores-vacation
time and holidays result in the
hiring of employees not as expert
enced as the permanent workers.
Interesting to note is the fact that
u. S. E. S. reports a marked increase
in standards required by department
stores when hiring workers.
According to the store executive
mentioned above, the problem of
delivery can be laid to two causes:
Lack of equipment and lack OF help.
1t isn't any simpler for large or
ganization to get trucks than it is
for John Doe to buy an automobile
these days. After the ODT restric-
tions on the size of packages eligible
for delivery were lifted, the larger
stores agreed to set 2 pounds. 40
inches in length and breadth COM
bined as the smallest package that
could be delivered. (The ODT had
set the limit at pounds, so inches
in length and breadth combined)
This move was prompted by the re-
naming problem of lack of trucks
and lack of personnel.

ment store is busy putting an in

tensive postwar training course In
salesmanship into operation. They're
also pinning a rose on every en-
ploye whose service merits 1t tn the
eyes of the customers. The Ave-
hour course will use visual aids,
slides, films and actual denlonstra-
tions as teaching techniques.
The campaign to make the sales
person agreeably customer conscious,
and vice versa, has received con-
centrated attention during this
month.
A women's speciality store on Con-
necticut avenue reports that their
big problem is getting their truck
to rise to the occasion. The much
used truck occasionally breaks down
completely and has to be sent to
the repair shop for an entire day.
The Better Business Bureau,
"crime stopper" for the community's
businessmen, is of value to the con-
sumner. Ofhcially, 1t exists to pro-
mote fair advertising and selling
practices, to prevent fraud, to prose-
cute fraud and to educate the con-
sumer in money management, in
buying and in everyday relations
with business. A nonprofit organi-
zation, it was founded by business
men who felt such job should be
done.
The public can-and does-bring
complaints to the Bureau. Com
plants are made against any type
of business. Complaints MUST be
submitted in writing. According
to Mr.. Claude H. Woodward, d.
rector, whether a large or small
amount of money is involved in the
grievance is unimportant to the
bureau. The principle is the thing
that counts.
The bureau feels that the firm
is entitled to an opportunity to make
an adjustment. Thus, they request
that an irate consumer first take his
complaint up with the firm. If
the consumer still doesn't get salts
faction, the bureau will listen to
the case. Moral persuasion Is en-
ployed if investigation proves the
retailer is wrong. If swindle is in
