FAMED TOBACCO ROAD" ACTRESS
VISITS FRIENDS IN THIS CITY

"Sister Bessie" was in Port
Clinton last week as the house
guest of her close friends, Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Callahan, and
her visit was nostalgia to many
who remember her vivid character
ization in the record breaking
stage play Tobacco Road.
Mrs. Irwin Becker, New York
City, who is professionally known
as Winnie Phillips, probably holds
the record for continuous perform
ances on Broadway. AS the ro-
mance-seeking "Sister Bessie"
Winnie Phillips played the role
over 4,300 performances during
the plays 14year run.
During those years, James Bar
ton, Will Geer and John Barton
took turns in playing "Jeeter Les
ter" and other roles also had sew
eral actors but Mrs. Becker was
Sister Bessie" until the play
closed.
Mrs. Becker's husband, Irving,
is business manager for "Stud-
ent Prince, the operetta now at
the Cass Theater in Detroit. He
was also with the Tobacco Road"
company for many years.
Before becoming "Sister Bes-
sie", Winnie Phillips was a vaude-
vile star in an act with her hus-
band, and also performed in musi-
cal shows.
Because of her record in "To-
bacco Road, Mrs. Becker has
been selected by producer Jack
kirkland for the positions of di-
rector and stage manager for the
colored version of Tobacco Road"
which is to open January 13 in
Washington, ID. c.
After being with a touring cast
of the venerable play, Mrs. Beck
er was called to New York in 1886
to replace Maude O'Dell, who died
suddenly.
Asked to recall some of the
highlights of her lengthy "Sister
Bessie" record, Winnie Phillips
said there were so many interes-
ting occurrences that she could not
recall them all. She did mention
the numerous incidencies when
Tobacco Road" was censored or
banned and her husband had to
take legal procedure to insure the
plays openings.
During the last two years with
the play, Mrs. Becker also serv-
ed as stage manager for the
Broadway troupe. She recalls cele-
brating her 4,000th performance
in st. Louis.
After over IA years performing
the part of "Sister Bessie, Vim
ME Phillips stated she still had
the haunting fear that one night
she would trip up on her lines.
Many Port Clintonites who saw
the play will vouch that she never
did.

XMAS MAILING
SETS R { c 0 R D
AT POST OFFICE.
All-Time High Established
Monday When 49,121
Pieces Are Cancelled

Breaking records is becoming
an annual habit at the Port Clin-
ton post office where an all-time
record for Christmas mail was es-
tablished Monday, December 10,
when 49,121 pieces of mail were
cancelled, Postmaster A. w. kalb
reported.
For a second year in a row, the
new ord-breaking cancellations
totaled 10000 more than the big
gest day last year, December 20.
when 39,l94 set a record of 10000
more than 1947's top day.
With increases in both incom-
ing and outgoing parcel post mail
swelling mail channels in addition
to the holiday greetings, Decem-
ber's total this year should be at
least 10 per cent above last year.
Not included in the 49,l2l re-
cord Monday were several hun
. dred packages mailed here. Carl
Miller's truck carried its biggest
load Of any year when he drove
from the postoffice to the rail
road station early Monday eve
ming. Railroad employees took
one look at that record breaking
, load and threw up their hands in
desperation.
Aided by a staff of college stu
dents and other part-time en-
ployees, the postal staff was able
to "catch up" by early Tuesday
when ali incoming and outgoing
letters and parcels were being
handled with rapidity.
Regular postal carriers and
staff members have remained in
the postoffice to sort mail and
keep things moving quickly, while
the part-time workers have done
most of the distribution about the
city Employees worked Satur-
| day and Sunday to help Santa
I Claus, with deliveries being made
on the Sabbath.
HNlutlilly HlUSJ loCdl feSlue1llS
spent the weekend addressing
greeting cards, as the rush had
, abated by Tuesday forenoon. In
coming mail was expected to be
heavy Wednesday and Thursday.
Assisting as part-time workers
were William Darr, Adolph Woz-
! MAX, Robert Kerr, Edward Mi
gala, Dick Sims, John Petersen,
Edward Sztuk, Don Waggoner
Robert Larson and Joe Won Thron.
! Regular substitute carriers Jack
Miller, Earl Warnke and William
Robel were also on the job.
During the rush period Mon
day, 45,087 pieces of mail went
through the cancelling machine,
$3.50 were meter cancelled and
504 were hand cancelled.
Postal authorities urged use of
airmail to insure delivery of out
of-state mail as record-breaking
marks are being established
everywhere throughout the ma
tiOn.

Israel and Trans-Jordan signed formal cease fire at Rhodes to- day for their front in Palestine al though the Arab nation complain ed the Jews are attacking them near their Red Sea port of Aqaba. Tel Aviv denies any fighting is going on around Aqaba, where British troops are poised.
 The cease fire is necessary be- fore a full armistice can be won by U. N. negotiators. The order does not apply to the Neblus Fri angle of Eastern Palestine because Iraq troops are there. Iraq has not made known its stand.
 The accord was reported to to freeze lines in Jerusalem, which Israeli Premier David Ben-Gurion said yesterday is and will remain Israeli territory. Trans-Jor d a n holds the old walled city and its many monuments of the Chris ian, Arab and Jewish religions.
 Britain hinted through minister of state Hector McNe.l of British involvment at Aqaba by saying "an ally should be protected against an aggressor." He express ed hope that Britain would not have to fight, and indeed that the whole issue might be settled in peace.

 The situation around the Trans Jordan Red Sea port of Aqaba, which British troops occupy, re- mained obscure. The Trans-Jor- danites said they stopped an Is- raeli armored force moving on the port 32 miles away. The furry came as Trans-Jordan and Israel negotiated frigidly about an arm iStice.
 An official Dutch spokesman said his country finds it impOssi- blc to comply with a United Ma tions order to restore Indonesian Republican leaders to power.
 A Chinese presidential commit tee made the first draft of peace proposals to the communists. Ii was couched in general compro- mise terms. It will likely be changed many times before sub mission.
 YugoSlaVia condemned four peasants for killing pigs. That was called economic sabotage.
