Saint Dunstan
"Opens Doors
For Worship
BY Naomi l.. Wood
Oliver 2-95S4

Opening ceremonies at the
Church of st. Dunstan, $3.50 Mas
sachusetts ave-, were held on
Sunday, November 16, in the pres.
ence of an overflow congregation.
The service began, appropri-
ately, with the Opening of the
Door" At the sound of the trum-
pet, the congregation stood and
faced the doors at the back of
the church. And the Rector, John
Coleman, after knocking at the
door with the Professional Cross,
.hegan with the words, "Open me
the gates of righteousness, that
] may go into them and give
thanks unto the Lord"
The service continued around
the movements of the procession,
with a Litany for the Church,
Benediction of the Ornaments.
Blessing of the Altar, and Dedi-
c a lion, preceding Communion
Service.
The sermon was given by the
Very Rev. Francis Bowes Sayre
jr., Dean of the Washington Ca
thedral. In the course of it, Rev
Sayre referred to the design of
the church, saying that it was fit
ting that parish church should
be built ''in the idiom of today"
Even as he spoke, it seemed to

| a &C e n y-minded production
called "The White Sheep Of
the Family"
A bit of English fluff by L. Du
Garde Peach and Ian Hay, white
Sheep played before apprecia-
tive audiences at Christ Episcopal
Parish Hall last Thursday, Fri.
day and Saturday evenings.
Described by its authors as "a
felonious comedy" it concerns
the upheaval in family of high
class criminals when the son,
Peter, defies family tradition to
"go straight" as a respectable
banker.
The family is shocked and dis.
believing ("Maybe he's just SOW
ing his tame oats'), and urge him
to return to the felonious fold

But, as will happen even to
crooks, Peter has fallen in love;
and this has diverted him from a
promising career of forgery and

the interior with special clarity.
The alter within its enclosing rails
is, in the words of Rev. Sayre, "a
masterpiece" again of very
simple form.
In speaking about ST. Dunstan,
Rev. Sayre made the ancient &c
clesiast come to life. AS Arch
bishop of Canterbury in 973, Dun
stan was called upon to crown
Edgar after that monarch had
been occupying the throne for Ia
years. "Stand now and take the
place held hitherto by virtue of
thy fathers bestowing, and now
by the grace of Almighty God"
were the priests words.
Dunstan "had a way of taking
the plain facts of life and lifting
them up to God" explained Rev.
Sayre. In addition to reforming
the rundown monasteries of the
period, Dunstan was famous for
increasing the musical life of the
church. He wrote chants, and is
said to have re-introduced the or
gan into English churches. And
he is known as 'the father of
campanology," or bell-ringing: the
groups of men who perform the
metric bell-ringing which is only
known in England are to this
day called "St. Dunstan's Soci-
ties"
Such a musical background is
fitting in connection with this
new Church of the Redeemer
Parish. Music has been given its
full place in the Church Of the
Redeemer, VIII o S e congregation
built st. Dunstan's. And the
choirs. both of hildren and
adults, gave fine accounting of
themselves during the service. The
new organ, too, gave an impress
sive sound under the hands of
Max Seeboth, the Parish's Or
ganist and Choir Director.
In addition to Rev. Sayre, others
assisting in the service were Rev
William Oscar Roome, who was
Vicar of Redeemer Chapel in
19l0.1911: and Rev. Cornelius A.
Wood, jr, chairman of the De-
partment of Missions1for the Dio-
cese.

counterfeiting onto the straight
and narrow.
Nor has he fallen in love with
just any old girl. His amorata is
the daughter of the assistant COM
missioner of Scotland Yard, no
less.
That's the plot, plain and
simple, and the net results is
more of running gag than
full-fledged play.
But the gag is a good one and
except for a temporary letdown
in the second act manages to sus
tain audience interest through to
final surprise twist.
For this, much credit is due to
the steady performance of little
theater veteran Donald A. Sander,
in the role of Peters father,
James Winter.
Winter, a justice of the peace
"on the side" is a sort of jack
of-all trades of crime, specializ.
ing in gem thievery. His motto;
always keep on the right side
of the fence"
The fence in this case is Sam
Jackson, as played with intensity
and energy (somewhat overly so
for this casual British setting) by
Scott Beam.
Mr.. Beam, alone of the the cast
attempted British accent, but ii

fell short of cloaking his South
ern origins.
Claiming a large share of the
laughs is j. Hodge Smith, main
stay of the Rockville group, whose
bumblings as an absent-minded
vicar add to the family's general
confusion and the audiences de-
light.
Another local veteran, Lucy
Redkey, plays Mrs. Winter with
a capable Interpretation of a
sweet and simple mother who in.
sists with fond tenderness that
her sons unusual talents are in
herited from her own father, a
convicted forger.
George S. Waleski, jr., who for
merly served the theater as a
sound engineer. proves in the role
of Peter that his talents are not
confined to backstage.
He delivers a believable por-
trayal of conflicted youth torn
between two loves, a beautiful
girl and the demanding art of
counterfeiting.
("He was so happy" says
his mother, sitting i'm his
little den forging away.")
Other capable performances are
given by Jean Everhart as Janet,
an apprentice pick-pocket who
fronts as the ia mily maid d;
Charles F. James as the unsus-
pecting Yard o fficial /; Happy
Slater as Peters sister Pat, own
er of the nimblest fingers in Lon
don; and Thelma Nordeen as
Peters financee, who ultimately
proves herself worthy of accept
ence by the Winters.
Extracting the maximum num-
Der of laughs from the script, a
task complicated by some en-.
forced last-minute changes in the
set, were Director Sara Jane
Whittier and her assistant, Helen
r. Day.
Other members of the produc.
ton staff were Virginia Fetyko,
production manager; Hope Fin
ley and Hugh Gillespie, publicity
and program; Marian Mack, tic

Fin-type hot water heating sys-
TENS are becoming quite popular
in new broiler houses. Installation
cost is high (about two or three
times that of individual stoves)
but savings in fuel should pay for
the equipment. This is a modifi-
cation of the Shenandoah system
and consists of one feed line with
fins plus the return line. Either
an oil or coal furnace with auto
matte stoker is used with this
heating system. Both types Of
furnaces are electrically ope .ated
and would be affected by power
Interruptions.
Due to labor involved, very few
new coal stoves are being bought
in this area, the county agent
notes. AS they wear our, growers
usually replace with individual oil
or gas stoves.
Whatever type preferred, it is
important to have a good heating
system for economy and health of
birds, Mr.. Vapaa concluded.

DATE SET FOR HOME
GARDENERS COURSE

The annual home gardeners
short course at the University of
Delaware is set for April 2, ac-
cording to Robert F. Stevens, ex-
tension horticulturist there.
instruction this year will be
provided in improving home
grounds and shrubs, with main
tenance and establishment of
trees, shrubs, and lawns included.
One session on planting and care
of flowers is planned for ladies.
Mr.. Stevens said interests of
new home owners, plus expert
enced and potential gardeners are
being considered in developing the
program.
Speakers invited each year are
outstanding nurserymen and eX-
perts in the various phases of
gardening on the program. Most
talks will be illustrated by slides
and demonstrations, the extension
horticultural stated.
Hours for the course in Agri-
cultural Hall, Newark, will be
1:30 pm. to $3.50 pm. and s pm.
to about 10 that evening. A Sec
ond course strictly on flower ar
ranging is scheduled May IA.
Further details of both sessions
will be announced.
Course topics were suggested
by members of several New Cas-
tie County garden organizations.

ture and homemaking held each

WARM CHICKS PAY
DIVIDENDS

Baby, it's cold outside" is the
chicks theme song this time of
year.
Fuel costs go up, along with NOR
tality of chilled chicks and NOR
bidity from disease outbreaks.
Poor ventilation and wet litter
will aggravate conditions says
George Vapaa, county agricultur-
al agent.
Adequate heat and ventilation
pay big dividends in healthier
chicks that grow better and cost
less to produce, the agent contin-
ues. 1t is better to spend money
on fuel than on medicine. Some
broiler growers keep windows
closed to reduce fuel costs, result
ing in outbreaks Of respiratory
disease.
Four hundred chicks per stove
is recommended during cold
weather, he says. Crowding more
chicks per stove is poor economy.
If gas stoves are used, it is sug-
gested that some type of supple
mentary heat be provided during
very cold weather to raise room
temperature, dry out litter, and
improve air circulation.
One coal or oil stove to each
two gas stoves makes a good
combination for 1900 chicks. For
the summer flock, it would be
necessary to operate the coal or
oil stove.
