The temptation for the aver
age playwright would b e
merely to spin out a fantastic
procession of synthetic, mira
cles. But not Father Kennel.
He was too much the realist
for that. When he wrote dra-
ma, he had no intention of en-
broidering a dolly with pretty
pious phrases and a back
ground o f s~anctimonious
sweetness-and-light He want
ed a Passion Play with tough
sinews and a throbbing pulse,
a play that would really
breathe and bleed, and burn
its truth of Faith and Love
into the hearts Of all who see
it. Pilates Daughter is one of
those precious plays that
makes the audience feel it is
not merely looking on a great
event but actually living in it.
Pilates Daughter will be no
mere entertainment but a
grand uplifting, inspiring ex-
perience, delighting you to the
innermost recesses of your
heart and soul.

Did You Ever Have a Broken Leg?
Everybody has had minor dlsabIlI-

u at some time " another. A Imp.
swollen eye. A sore back Maybe even
a broken limb. But what about gong
through life with d serious physical nan
dicap? That is the plight Of tens ot
thousands Of North Carolinians, both
children and adults. fortunately, most
of them learn to live with their handi-
caps and do the best they can, making
the most Of what capabilities they do
have In fact, many handicapped per
sons, by courage and concentration, do
lot better than many people IN good
health and sound in wind and limb.
For all the handicapped who are
fighting to make the best Of things,
there is an agency devoted TO helping
them in every way humanity possible.
Clutches are given to those who need
them and can't afford them. For those
unable TO wait on themselves, trained
personnel are provided to teach them
and their families the proper methods
CT care. Qualified physical theraplsts
teach the crippled how to make the best
possible use Of their limbs. Summer
camps for crippled children are held so
that boys and girls with paralyzed arms
and legs, or other Affections can take
part in camping activities to the limit
Of their abilities. Many other works Of
encouragement anG rehabilitation are
performed
The organization that provides these
good services in this state Is the North
Carolina Society for Crippled Children
and Adults, which has its headquarters
here and almost hundred local chapters
taking part in this important work. 1t
is supported largely by its annual fund
raising drive the Easter Seal Sale,
which is now going on. When you con-
tribute to this drive you help crippled
child or adult TO lead fuller and more
useful life.

Most of the Cost of Election Campaigns
Are an Absolute Waste

There is an old figure Of speech ex-
pressive Of stupidity. forget the exact
words but they are something about
sealing up a tiny leak in the crack Of
barrel while leaving the bunghole open
am reminded Of this by Congress
sional committees hearings on election
campaign contributions. Mr.. Heard, a
professor in the University here, who
had become the country's foremost au-
thority on this subject by his thorough
researches, was the leading witness be
fore the committee. He cited voluminous
official records, federal, state, and local,
to show the amounts Of campaign con
tributions-that is, the known cOntribu-
tions; of course the unreported contri-
buttons amount TO huge total. He gave
the names, taken from the official rec
ords, Of many Of the large contributors
TO both parties.
The Congressional committee was
interested in formulating laws to com
pei the adequate reporting Of, and pos
sibly to reduce, the amount Of, contri-
buttons This is what calls to mind the
figure of speech about the tiny leak
and the bunghole. If such laws were
enacted they would not 90 to the heart
of the problem. They would be mere
trifling with it.
The fact obvious to everybody about
all the tens of millions Of dollars con-
tributed TO campaign funds-or is it
hundreds Of millions? do not have the
figures with me-is that most of this
money is absolutely wasted. Ninety
five per cent, my belief is, would be
low estimate of the waste. The voters
could get all the information about the
issues that would do them any good, all
that they could possibly understand, if
the two parties would just agree, or be
compelled by law, to limit their appeals

Everything's basketball these days.


That discussed while Coach jim Tatum

Carolina Alumnus Herbert Hardy Of Greene Comfy

Then Duke &lumnus Joe Hunt Of GuiIford County .
rounded up Blue Devil fans and they sent similar
message to Coach Frank McGuire
When the YaIe-UNC game was played, many of
the fans couldn't stand the tension and turned off their

Enthusiast Billy Carmichael didn't SEE all the game
on teeVsion Saturday night because Of the friendship
Governor Hodges holds for him. Billy and the Governor
played basketball together and they happened to be
together last week when Rep. Clifton Blue of Moore
County invited the Governor down to Robbins Saturday
night to present the trophies and awards at the con-
ClusiOn Of d basketball tournament

Wonder if anyone hereabouts remembers this piece
on basketball? Try to the author before you
finish it.
Basketball is game full Of intrcacies eccentrici-
ties and imbecities 1t is also dog gone hard game
to play Observing Basketball from the stands without
previously being acquainted with the facts Of the game
1t is a very queer exhibition:
The five each team scatter about the court
and two tall ugly looking boys to the middle of
the floor and the referee throws up the ball between
them Instead Of trying to grab the ball when it comes
down both Of them Jump into the air and try to knock
the ball away. Somebody catches the ball and sells out
around the floor bouncing the ball for all he is WORTH
All the rest OF them streak after him like crazy hounds
after rabbit. BY and by the man who has the ball
throws to else and he starts running around
bouncing the ball too Once in while someone will get
IN front Of the who has the ball and wave his arms
around like windmill The bOuncer stops as if frghten-
ed by such actions and throws the ball someone else
Then somebody throws the ball into little round net
whistle is blown and people in the stands nearly veil
Their heads off This kind Of thing goes on for about
hour"

/ believe that God is glad for
us to have. the things" that will
bring satisfaction. Why not? Can
you think Of any legitimate
reason why health, strength,
food, shelter, finance, joy, and
achievement Of any honorable
goal would offend a father who
really loves his children?
But the first necessity is TO
REALLY KNOW JESUS
CHRIST. When you get ac-
Quainted with him; when you
accept him as your partner in
life; you have entered the real
realm Of happiness. You have
opened the door and stepped into
Abundant Life.

this.

Andrew and his friend were
following Jesus from the River
Jordan where John was baptiz-
ing converts. Jesus turned and
asked them this question. What
seek ye?
/ ask you the same question:
what are you seeking? What
are you looking for in lief"
Naturally, you will answer, I
want to be happy"
The next question that would
follow is this: what will 1t
take to make you happy?" And
there our ways begin to divide.
Some will SAY that to be popu-
lar is important, to others, a sue
cess in athletics, someone else
will wish riches and another will
seek fame. But again-granted
that all of these things were
yours, would you be truly hap
py? / think mott!
All these things" can. con-
tribute to your happiness. and
whatever is right and honorable
is certainly in order for you. /
believe that God is pleased
whenever you achieve anything
worthwhile in your life. But
there is something that is pre-
requisite, something that is the
real basis Of happiness and
everything else built upon it.
Jesus said, "a mans life con-
sisteth not in the abundance OF
things that he possesseth, for
life is more than meat, and body
more than raiment. But It you
seek first the kingdom OF God
and his righteousness; all these
things shall be added unto you"
May / tell you my outlook
upon God and the relationship
that he wishes for us in connec-
