With such memorable comedy productions as "Crab Apple," "Mrs. Bumpsteadâ€" Leigh," "Candle Light, and "The Enchanted April" already to their credit, the Stagers have outdone themselves in choosing this sparkâ€" ling comedy as their last production in this, their fourth season. The Stagers feel fortunate in beâ€" ing able to present the experienced cast so necessary to the successful production of a comedy. Everyone, even in the smaller roles, has conâ€" tributed successfuly to previous perâ€" formances. Shirley Clark plays Lady Mary Crabbe, head of an aristocratic but povertyâ€"ridden English family. Last Spring Shirley made a big hit as Mrs. Fisher, a dyedâ€"inâ€"theâ€"wool Vicâ€" torian, in "The Enchanted April." Lady Lillian Bedworthy, Lady Mary‘s sister, is played by Geneva Ritter. Her most successful comâ€" edy appearances recently have been as Mrs, Lotty Wilkins in "The Enâ€" chanted April," and as Mrs. Edâ€" wards in "Kind Lady." Her porâ€" trayal of the emotionally starved writer of a column of advice to the lovelorn promises to be something well worth seeing. Martha Jordan appeared last as the Italian servant who caused so much hilarity in last spring‘s "The Enchanted April." This time she appears as a hale, hearty, provinâ€" cial vulgarian from Australia. Kenneth Hunter appears as Tom, a tall, virile, enormous sheep ranchâ€" er. While he has never appeared in a person in a Stagers presentaâ€" tion, he has directed the entire series of plays given during the four years of the Stager‘s being, therefore conâ€" tributing materially to the successâ€" ful growth of the organization. The largest event of the Deerfield Grammar School P.T.A. year will be held on this Friday night. The annual Open House, being held from 7 to 10, is the annual opportunity of all members of the community to visit the school and learn first hand of the work being undertaken. Una Pidgeon, a beautiful, healthy, but awkward girl, is played by Josâ€" ephine Schessler, whose last appearâ€" ance, was in the role of poor, husâ€" bandâ€"pecked Mrs. Arbuthnot in last spring‘s play. ity, the officers of the P.T.A. stressâ€" ed the fact that the Open House was for the whole community, not mereâ€" ly for parents and members of the Tim, Lady Mary‘s son, is played by John Derby, who has appeared successfully in comedy roles in "Go Slow Mary," "Crab Apple," and "The Enchanted April." The smaller roles of the play are taken by Mary Jane Galloway, Marâ€" tin Decker, and Lois Clark, all of whom are well known to Deerfield audiences, Everyone is urged to put a circle around April 26 on the calendar, in order to avoid the disappointment of not being able to see "Fresh Fields.‘ P.â€"T.A.

This is the first time in a number of years that an attempt is being made to comâ€" plete the drive within a period of two days of concentrated work. * Mr. Frank Sturtevant has organâ€" ized ten teams consisting of a capâ€" tain and three assistants which gives a total of 40 energetic workâ€" ers who will contact approximately 250 publicâ€"spirited citizens in our community. In the past the financial drives for the Boy Scouts have been conâ€" ducted over a period of several weeks, all of which entailed addiâ€" tional work and consumed considerâ€" to coufil;t: ‘The drive. By ‘:xng a’ large organization this year and concentrating the efforts of all over the weekâ€"end of April 13 and 14, this drive will be conducted with a minimum of effort on the part of the workers and we hope in a more acceptable manner to the commuâ€" nity. Few people outside of active Boy Scout work are in a position to appreciate the tremendous amount of work which is necessary to proâ€" vide the Boy Scout movement with a trained personnel, complete recâ€" ords of Boy Scout advancements, and the necessary leaders to organâ€" ize new units. Our community now has enough boys of the ages nine to twelve so that it is desirable to deâ€" velop the cub scout movement. Plans for the Deerfield district inâ€" clude the establishment of such a pack which the community needs. The cub scout movement has passed through a developed period so that now it is a very worthwhile proâ€" gram for boys of the cub age. In Deerfield the scout troops durâ€" ing the past year have been built up to where they are beginning to function in a manner comparable with their past record accomplishâ€" ments. Many new workers and scout leaders have been added to help in the work in Deerfield. Inâ€"addition to this work in our township, there are older boys who are being attracted to the older scout programs which take in boys from the ages of 15 years and oldâ€" er. The first of these programs is the Sea Scout movement which has been getting under way for the past year. The unit is small but has alâ€" ready attracted many favorable comments and with additional help and funds will offer an interesting and attractive avocation for young men of this age. The second program which is now being organized is a group of explorer boys patrols. This is a very new program in scouting and is still on an experimental basis. Much can be done through this proâ€" gram and the scout leaders will want to do all they can to fit this activity into the lives of the young people. The dues which scouts and scoutâ€" ers pay each year constitute funds which go direct to the national headquarters for the maintenance of their ‘work. The headquarters of the North Shore Council with its staff of workers is maintained soleâ€" ly on funds collected through scout drives in the scout district. Financial drives of the other disâ€" trict of the North Shore area have been completed. The drive in our own Deerfield district was delayed by the district leaders until the weekâ€"end of April 13th and 14th because in their opinion this would prove to be a more advantageous time to conduct a drive. The share of scout expenses in the Deerfield district has always been small comâ€" pared to the total funds needed by the North Shore Council. This year because of the enlarged program in our own local district some of the the funds collected are going to be retained and used by our local scouts For these two reasons we particâ€" ularly want this drive to be a sueâ€" cess and we urge you, when called upon, to contribute financially to the best of your ability. The adult scout leaders in your community are giving, throughout the entire year, time as well as money so that the youth of our community might grow into â€" better citizens.
