ORDER" said the Playmaker mem
Der in his new role.
Just when the action started to
bog down, the leading men, Al
Kalb (who deserves an oscar for
his splendid depletion of the "You
Shall Not Harm This Child" char
acter) and Fritz Kumm, who de-
parted from the script and tossed
few barbs at garden club women,
brought the audience to it's feet.
Mr.. Kalb claimed trees thrive on
nails and bolts "as long as they are
not encircled with STEEL" Mr.
Kumm told the councilmen 1--WE al
ways drive railroad spikes in trees
while surveying and we've never
found tree harmed from such
action"
"Chief Villain" Councilman
Robert Reynolds said there was
nothing personal in his request
that signs be prohibited from city
trees and that garden club mem
bers were not behind the request >
AS the curtain rang down, Mrs.
ISouthwood was given permission to
let her sign remain as it was erec-
ted long before the governing or
dinance was passed six months
ago; Behrman was ordered to re-
move his sign as he had no per-
NIT; councilmen approved. on first
reading, Ordinace No. 418 which
will prohibit any sign from being
tackled to living tree within the
city, but with Oman, WILDER and
Ruddock dissenting, the motion to
pass the ordinance as an emergen-
cy measure went down to defeat.
P.S. We doubt if this production
will have lengthy run in the
council chambers as it's much too
hot therein even for South Sea
islander. P.P.S. We know the city
can't afford to install air condi-
tioning in the Council Chambers
as the general fund is overdrawn
$776 now and the city police and
street department workers must be
paid this week.

If the city Jail is used for the
