noteworthy longevity of its
own. now has chosen the sep
tuagenarian frolic to launch
Its 25th anniversary season.
It turns out to have been q
completely happy choice, es-
pecially since a young man
named Chef Carlin was on
hand to play the title role. He
is q budding actor with genuine
comedy flair, who frequently
will remind you of Stan Laurel.
He not only can deliver a
comedy line effectively, he also
can time its delivery, which is
the more difficult part of the
battle for laughs. At least some
OF the credit for this, Of course,
belongs to Director Joseph
Lewis since others in leading
roles display the same deft-
ness.
y
If you hesitate to confront
"Charley's Aunt" because
you've seen it so many times
you almost have it memorized,
this GU. version could surprise
you. 1t you've never seen it,
it's virtually certain to delight
you. Mr.. Thomas dealt in
human rather than topical
comedy, so his lines are still as
comically pertinent and his
situations are still as wonder
fully ludicrous as the first time
this daft caper was performed.
Even I'm Charley's aunt from
Brazil where the nuts come
from" is still funny. when Mr..
Carlin says it, with a silly half
grin as if it had just occurred
to him.
If you're not familiar with
the plot of this escapade, as I'M
thinkable a thought as has
been thought around here
lately, 1t concerns a couple OF
love-smitten oxford lads who
wish to entertain two girls at
tea. They have to have chap
erone, so when Charley's aunt
fails to show UP on schedule,
one of their classmates, a Lord
Fancourt Babberly, is pressed
into service. Not only the girls
but their guardian and the
father of one of the oxford
types show up and his lordship,
Charley's aunt repeatedly being
wealthy, spends the afternoon
being pursued around the gar
den. "Charley's Aunt" has long
survived, so this outline is not
likely to deal it a mortal blow,
but there is no point in pur-
suing it any further.
Under Mr.. Lewis guidance,
the student players at c. U.
strike precisely the proper note
with their tongue-in-cheek ap-
proach. Their farce has the un-
concern with probability and
the free-flying bounce of a
vaudeville Skit. There is some
thing about Mr.. Lewis tech
nique here that reminds you of
some of the fine old movie COM
edies that were as much fun to
make as to watch. His frolic
may get mighty silly at times,
but it is never dull.

VICORP AND LABOR UNIONS

WCORP AMI LABOR UNIONS
AS NDUSTRIALIZATION develops, labor problems Of
ten set in. This is nothing more than the industrial facts Of life
Where many people work together, labor questions arise, and
labor and management must face the problem. That is how
national legislation developed into the Wagner Act, and the
Taft Hartley Act. We in these Islands, seeing organized labor
take on new vigor and importance, will have to come to grips
with the problem.
AS WE UNDERSTAND it, where a group of employees
have selected a labor organization as their bargaining repre-
sentative, and makes such fact known to the employer, the
employer is required to sit down and bargain with that or.
ganization. There are, Of course, much more to it than this.
but that is the basic rule.
WE IN THSES Islands have never had a large enough
industrial situation to have to come to grips with labor pro-
blems as is known on the mainland, where labor law has de.
veloped into a fine art, and thousands of labor organizations
represent millions of employees in all sorts OF plants, and tac.
tories. This would pose a particularly difficult problem fof
these Islands because of the possibilities of strikes, Gripping
as they sometimes are.
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS Corporation is a quasi-govern
ment agency. 1t is also the largest single employer OF labor,
especially agricultural labor, which type of labor may not
come under the national law. However, there are factory
workers. and and these come under the law. A question may
he raised at This time in connection with workers at VlCORP,
AS a government agency, can a labor union force the Virgin
Islands Corporation to bargain with it on behalf OF its en-
ployeesP
ASTRIKE L at the height Of the grinding season
would be a catastrophe. Questions as to whether the en-
ployees are to be represented, or the Corporation forced to
bargain with a union are for the legal department@But II
would seem to us that these deserve Qualification. If factory
workers here cannot strike, then the law should be clear on
that point, and an amendment to the law may be necessary
to exclude these employees from the usual coverage OF the law
LABOR CAN be complicated, and as such call for the
legal minds to bring the public up to date.

Good Locations
Often the camps are located
in prime places for scenery
and convenience. In Paris it's
the Bois de Boulogne (get
there by 4 pm. before it's fulD /;
| in Siena and Florence, Italy, it's
on a hill overlooking the city.
Along the Rhine and the Neckar
rivers in Germany, we could
play in the river on one side
and ramble in romantic castles
on the other; along the Adriatic
we camped on the beach and
swan in the warm, warm water
by starlight. The cost per per-
son per night for a spot in one
Of these fenced, lighted, shaded
areas ranges from 20 cents to
so cents.
Here, taken from my journal
(the very best souvenir, costing
only fifteen minutes a night
is a typical camping day in
Europe, beginning about 6 pm.
when we arrived at the camp
gate just outside Interlachen,
Switzerland.
1t was in plain sight Of the
highway, and we simply pulled
up at the office to sign in and
pay the fee. We found an
empty spot between a French
couple with a bright blue tent
and a tiny red car on one side,
and an English mother, father
Clarge tent) and two teen-age
girls (pup tent on the other.
Larry and Jamie pulled out
our American tent (38 pounds,
6-man Eureka Holiday, can
vas suspended from a simple
x frame of sectioned aluminium
tubing) and set it up in the
usual 4 minutes. Suzy pumped
air in the mattresses with a
squeaky foot pump. I walked
over to inspect the facilities
(excellent), and then to the
camp store to buy food for
dinner. (Just as often bought
meat, dried vegetable soup,
salad greens, fruit, milk, and
pastry at shops in towns we
passed through.)

, chinery and without struggling
with foreign menus. Every night
we knew exactly where we
would sleep, even II we didn't
know the exact spot of grass
our canvas house would perch
upon. Each person had some
thing definite, something OBJ
viously valuable to contribute
to the operation. This tour in
gredient, I noticed, strongly af-
fects the morale and depth of
interest of travelling children.
Travel Economies
Another 81 went for gas, oil
and service for the car. The
third ST. went for camp fees,
entrance tickets to sightseeing
spots, entertainment 1--WE saw
five plays and an opera, post
cards and stamps and miscel-
laneous items, like eating out
a couple of times a week, Sleep
ing in a pension (tourist home)
once a week; cooking gas, road
tolls. etc.
We wrote down everything we
spent and what a fascinating
journal this is to look at now
The final figure divided out to
33 cents a day less than the
81 allowed.
These operating expenses did
not include the capital ex-
pense of buying the Microbus.
To rent such a car costs $40
or more q day. Our figuring
showed it was cheaper to buy
the bus in Germany ($1, ,700) +,
use it for the tour, and ship
it home ($300, Glasgow to
Baltimore)' then to rent one
in Europe ($7O0) and buy the
same car in Washington later
$4,000. Purchasing a car
abroad with a guaranteed re-
sale to the agent costs almost
as much as renting it, and has
certain disadvantages.
