GUESTS AT DINNER

At the dinner meeting of the
Smyrna-Clayton Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Club on Monday
night at the Wayside Inn, with
Mrs. June Anthony presiding, a
program was presented by Mrs.
Margaret ONeill, chairman inter-
national relations. Mrs. O'Neill
read excerpts and described Christ
mas customs and traditions from
foreign lands, and then introduced
Frank Siekmann, music director at
the Smyrna School, who presented
a musical program in keeping with
the holiday season. A choir from
the senior chorus at the school
sang several selections, with Rob-
ert Reed as accompanist. The
young singers were guests of the
club at dinner preceding the pro-
gram. 20 Holy Night" and the
Evening Prayer" from Hansel and
Gretel were sung by Beth Denney,
and "White Christmas" was sung
by Kenneth Attix, and the program
closed with "Silent Night" by the
Choir members present
were Genevieve Guessford, Nancy
Pinder, Normalea Hobson, Doris
Nabb, Barbara Mofitt, Pat Rash,
Tarun Comegys, Louise Shane,
James Mood, Kenneth Attix, Will
liam Denney, and Brooks Banta.
The program was enriched by the
beautiful background provided by
the Christmas decorations at the
Inn.

Carols by Band
An unusual feature of the pro-
gram was the playing of carols by
the brass ensemble of the band,
standing on the second floor portico
over the South Street entrance.
Spotlighted high above the heads
of the approaching audience the
boys played in the wintry blasts,
providing a fitting prelude to the
perfect program which followed.
Members of the brass ensemble
were William Denney, William
Seward, Roger Kelsey, David Dea-
kyne, Franklin Shane, Hal Bodley,
William Knots, Wilson Comegys,
and Harry Jarman. The white
capes worn by the choir were
made by the home economics de-
partment, and Mrs. Harley Bodley
assisted with the makeup.

''Why the Chimes Rang" Pre-
scented Tuesday Night in
School Auditorium
CAROLS BY BAND

Despite the severe weather on
Tuesday evening the annual Christ
mas musical program was present
ed in the school. The presentation
of the drama, 'Why the Chimes
Rang" showed imagination and ex-
celIent direction and staging, and
was a moving experience for the
audience. Done with reverence and
exquisite attention to detail, espec-
tally in the cathedral scene, the
play accented with great meaning
the spirit of Christmas. The beauty
of the simulated Intersection ca
thedral window, which formed the
background to the scene, had no
small part in creating the proper
atmosphere. The window was the
work of Joyce Danes and Kenneth
Marsh. The musical parts of the
program were full of variety and
beauty and showed the result of
meticulous preparation. Featuring
the senior chorus, the senior band,
and the junior chorus, the program
included the Fred Waring arrange
n1en$ of "'Twas the Night Before
Christmas" with vocal and speak
ing parts taken by Kenneth Attix,
Doris Nabb, Louise Shane, Barbara
Mofitt. Normalea Hobson, and
Genevieve Guessford. In the senior
band selection, MAY the Good Lord
BLESS and Keep You" the trumpet
soIoist was William Denney. Act

Ike Hedges

Exuberant George Bender, the
Ohio congressman, popped the ques-
ton to General Eisenhower during
a two and one-half hour relaxed
chat with the general in Paris.
Bender, a rootin' -tootin' Taft sup
porter, looked Ike in the eye and
said with a grin: General, is you
or amt you, and how?"
General Eisenhower's eyes twin
killed. but he made no direct reply.
Instead he emphasized to Bender
and three other visiting congress
men the great importance Of his
Job in Europe. 1t was vital to the
safety of mankind to rearm Eurore,
the general said, no matter what
Individual sacrifices were involved.
Young Dick Boiling, the clean
cut Kansas City Democrat, sug-
gested in half-humorous vein: Gen
eral, if you do run for President, I
am sure you will be much happier
on the Democratic ticket"
Eisenhower did not answer that
one either, hut Rep. Leon Gavin,
Pennsylvania Republican, did, and
in no uncertain terms.
1.-THE Republican party is the
only rarity Of free enterprise"
he said loudly and firmly. 1.-THE
Democrats are all Socialists
and you would not get along
with them"
At another point in the converse
ton, Congressman Bender asked
Ike: "What about that Arthur
Krock story in the New York Times
saying you and President Truman
talked politics."
This was the only time during the
visit that the general appeared up
set or irritated. There was not a
word of truth to the story" he sald
Indignantly and with great firmness
He added that he could not under
stand why a reputable newsman
would fall for "such phonv"
Notifying to Kew West the

down in the compartment of the

was working and point by point

Acheson Bored

1t may bring a denial, but Secre-
tary Acheson is so disguised with
the lack of progress at the Paris
meeting of the United Nations that
he almost came home the other day.
Immediately after giving his
speech denouncing the Russians and
Chinese Communists, Acheson told
his assistants to make arrange
ments for him to fly back to Wash
ington.
1t was obvious, the secretary
of state said, that this session of
the assembly will yield nothing
and that he was wasting his
time in Paris.
However, Ambassador Jessup and
French Foreign Minister Schuman
begged him to change his mind for
fear it would give black eye to the
United Nations. Acheson finally did
so, but only after making it clear it
was mainly because he would have
to return to Europe anyway later
to attend the meeting of the North
Atlantic pact council.
