Sunday evening at 8 o'clock in the
sanctuary.
Here is a new drama which por-
trays in simple, vivid scenes the
faith that is fundamental to the
Easter Tradition. Christ's robe was
part of himself. 1t has been i'm
mortalized in the Bible. BY the
touch of the hem of his Seamless
Robe, the sick were healed. Roman
soldiers cast lots for it at his
death. Although our Lord took no
thought for material possessions
and spoke emphatically against un-
due concern over raiment, he HIM
self did have this one earthly
treasure. The intriguing mystery
of the garment is the theme of
"The Seamless Robe" written by
Esther c. Averill.
The cast of characters is:
Moxa, a Hebrew man-Carl S.
Fuller; Prisca, his wife-Carol
Ogline; Azabah, their lame daugh-
ter - Midge White; Naaral, q
young Hebrew woman-M. Mae
White; Sarah, a wealthy Hebrew
woman-Louise Olney; Bethiah, a
poor Hebrew widow-Betty Mid
dough.
Roman guards: Tertius, John
Peck; Marcus, Don Jewel; Lucius,
Roland Sundberg; and Gaius, Don
White.
Others cooperating in the pro-
ducting include: special music, the
choir; organist, Bernice Brahaney;
Lighting, William Middough
makeup, Wilbur Lawrence; CO.'S
tunes, Shirley Collier; direction,
Carol Ogline and Don White; stag
ing, E. c. Jefries.

at the close of the presentation.

Denies Price Increase
Was Predetermined

implications that the Virginia
Milk Commission made up their
minds to raise milk prices in
Northern Virginia even before
holding a public hearing on the
subject were branded as false to-

statement in comment upon a

plication was absolutely not
true"
The milk commissioner COM
mented while word was awaited
from the Economic Sterilization
Agency and the White House on
food price rollbacks. Opinion
was divided on the effects freeze
would have in the milk market.
Some hig hly- placed officials
thought only retail prices would
be affected by rollback. Some
persons said they were not sure
that milk would be affected in
any way
Mr.. Turner said that if retail
prices are rolled back it appeared
to him that producer prices also
would have to be adjusted down.

Il am just one member of the
commission" he said. "but it ap-
pears to me that the spread of
prices between producer and dis

Admits Raise Unusual"
Mr.. Turner said the Milk Com
decision to raise prices
on the milk market was rather
unusual" in the absence of formal
requests for an increase, but that
public notice was given about an
inquiry into the price structure.
He did not participate in the vot-
ing which authorized the raise,
but he agreed it was justified.
