Sing for
Chardon PTA

A capacity audience was well
entertained Tuesday evening at
the Chardon P. T. A. meeting
IN the school auditorium.
Opening the program, a
chorus of second graders, under
the direction of Mrs. Ruth
Booth, who accompanied them
on the piano, sang a group of
four songs very well which in
cluded BLESS This House" and
MOLLY Malone" The rest of
the second grade students,
taught by their teachers, with
grace and dignity, danced the
minuet, dressed in colonial cos
tunes.
Many interesting pecularities
about the past presidents of the
United States were told by Mr..
William Pringle of Chagrin
Falls. George Washington was
known for the short speeches
he made the reason for
this was that when he was a
boy all his teeth had been ex-
tracted and although he had a
set of artificial teeth m d e
from the bones of a rhinoceros,
they were not very satisfact-
tory" said Mr.. Pringle. BE
fore Thomas Jefferson died he
wrote the epitaph to be used
on his tomb stone, and If you
should read it today you would
find that it says among other
things that he was author of
the Declaration of Independ-
ence, author of the charter for
the state Of Virginia, founder
of the University of Virginia,
but no mention is made of the
fact that he was president of
the United States. Andrew
Jackson was president of the
country for 8 years and in that
time made $500, 900, of which
he had 5000 left when he fin
ished his second term while
Martin Van Buren was presi-
dent for four years and made
$100, 900 during that time. At
the end of the four year term
he had the $10o, 900 left. Presi-
dent Coolidge was elected as
class humorist while in college"

Plan
Church Camp

Plans are we'll under way for
a private church camp for the
youth of Chardon Methodist
church this summer, and 80
youth have already made ad-
vance reservations with t h e
Reverend Mr.. Harry A. Carney.
The camp will be held June
l3 through June 20, at Raccoon
Creek State Park, Hookstown,
/ Pennsylvania, where Mr.. Car
ney had previously directed
private church camps for six
years before going to India as
a missionary of The Methodist
church. Raccoon Creek State
Park contains 1000 acres of
woods, open fields, camp sites,
streams and lakes, and is one
of the most ideal places to
hold a youth camp, according
to Mr.. Carney.
This summer, the Chardon
youth will join with the youth
from Lake Avenue Methodist
church, Ashtabula, for the
camp, and the Reverend Mr..
Charles S. Applegath, pastor of
that church, will be co-director
and dean. Mr.. Applegath'S ex-
perience in church camps be-
gan years ago while he was
pastor in Canada, and through
out the many years of ministry
in the United States he has
been active in youth camps in
many states. He and Mr.. Car
ney have worked together in
camps and youth work for the
past sixteen years.
Miss Betty Moss, girls ply
Sical education instructor of
Chardon high school, will be
the physical education director
for the camp. Miss Moss is en-
Enthusiastically loved and admir-
ed by all youth and will be a
great asset to the camp, Mr..
Carney has stated. DR.. Ray
mond Sheets, of Philadelphia,
Pa, will be camp doctor. DR..
Sheets began his camp life un-
er Mr.. Carney and Mr.. Ap-
plegath at Raccoon cree
many years ago, and there ded-
icated his life to become a
Christian physician. He return
ed to the camp for many sue
ceSSive summers, and is glad
to return this year as camp
doctor. He will be assisted by
a nurse who also is an alumnai
Of the camp. Mrs. Carl Bundus,
Of Chardon, who is active in
school work, will be
dean of girls and will teach
a class in personal problems
for girls.
Many details of the camp are
yet to be completed, but the
success of the camp is assured
oy the enthusiasm expressed by
both youth and adults for the
project, Mr.. Carney reported.
The Chardon Methodist youth
are at present very active in
'aising money to help pay for
he cost of the camp.

she works, in fact everywhere
she goes, she has Broadway
completely in her spell. It is
the happiest spell Broadway has
been under since the first APP
pearance here of that other i'm
ported sorcereSS, Audrey Hep
burn. several seasons ago in
'Gigi."
II this suggests that the coun-
try is going through a foreign
actress phase, it is strictly up to
the native girls to correct it but
that is another story.
Producer Shepard Traube and
his associate, Anthony Farrell,
are the pair who have occasion
to be most enthusiastically be-
witched by Jeanmaire. She is
the star of their vast, expensive
musical. Minus her elfin magic,
there is every evidence that
their staggering investment in
THE Girl in Pink Tights
would be in dire peril.
The musical is reversion to
type. the pistache sort of thing
that seemed to have become ex-
tinct more than a decade ago
with the appearance of okla
homa!" It's old-faShioned flavor
is capsuled in a score by Sig
mund Romberg, composer long
ago set in Schmaltz and the one
least likely to learn new tricks
in the mid-20th century. Don
Walkers orchestrations attempt
to do all that can be done, and
so does the book by Jerome
Chodorov and Joseph Fields.
These efforts are not greatly re-
warding, which leaves 1.-THE Girl
in Pink Tights" to Jeanmaire.
With an assist from Brenda
Lewis, singer capable of doing
splendid things with better
music, and a few others.
X X \ X
Since Jeanmaire is a dancer,
congentially no less, the stress
here is upon the shows dancing.
Into this the producers, with
considerable foresight, have in
jected the. talents of Agnes de
Mile, who holds something of a
basic patent on pantomined
Americana, and Alexandra
Kalioujny. M. Kalioujny, also
French, is a partner whose flair
makes him worthy one for
Jeanmaire. None of them, how
ever, is creatively electrified by
Romberg's atavistic score for the
musical.
New York Immediately after
the Civil War is the setting of
1.-The Girl in Pink Tights" De-
eigner Eldon Elder is so enrap-
tured by the city of the period
that his decor becomes one of

authors of the book have
sketched a fragment Of nonsense
having to do with the rivalry
between a French ballet COM
pany and an American repertory
company specializing in ro-
mantle melodrama. It is a con-
f1ict with the chronic listlessness
to be expected of a swatch of
early New York theater history,
but saved from the fate it de-
serves by the incandescent fresh
ness Of its pint-siZed feminine
star.
Before this, discriminating
entertainment seekers were de-
lightfully aware of teammates
dancing. What enraptures them
now is the discovery that she is
equally talented as Coincidence
and a singer. In the latter, she
has never had a lesson in her
life-lack of time, no doubt
but she is compared with Edith
Piaf and with excellent reason.
Her girl in pink tights, which
by the way is the one shade
missing from her spectacularly
worn wardrobe, is a creature OF
endless fascination. Whether she
is disrupting a Degas-like Ballet
Glass tableaux in a slapStick
flight from the ballet director or
forecaSting in song when I Am
Free to Love-" she Is imparting
her personal dazzle to material
that could hardly have lived even
this long without her.

"The Girl in Pink Tights" is
not quite a one-woman show,
however.
Dancer Kalioujny is a brilliant
colleague for the star, and so rs

such variously patterned dances
as one dealing with early ele-
waited railroad history. classic
pas de deux, and most, vivid of
all a Bacchanale which conSti-

nance and has one Of her own

reminiscent than worth remem-

Rearming Of
Germany Hit

LONDON, (JTA)-A call for a
reversal of the trend toward the
rearmament of Germany was
voiced here by the British section
of the World Jewish Congress at
the concluding session of it's eighth
biennial convention.
The Congress also condemned the
"glorification" of former Nazi par
ty and military leaders in the press
and in films.
The VIC appealed to the gov
ernments of Hungary, Rumana
and Czechoslovakia to free arrested
Jewish leaders and thereby make
a genuine contribution to the cause
of peace and international under
standing" In the same resolution,
the Congress pointed out that the
Rumanian Jewish leaders had been
imprisoned for as long as two years
without any charges being placed
against them.
Finally the meeting expressed its
concern and resentment at the
Arab states rejection of Israel eff
forts to make peace, and deplored
the policy and action of those
governments which continue to sup
ply weapons to the Arab states.
Accord Urged
In an address to the conference,
DR.. Nahum Goldman, president of
the VIC, appealed to British Jew
ry to end its internal petty squab-
bles" and said there was no reason
for the Board of Deputies of Brit
ish Jews to fear that the British
section of the Congress would at
tempt to undermine its authority.
At the same time, he said, the
British section would not cede its
right to approach the British gov
ernment in behalf of the World
Jewish Congress.
