A mysâ€" THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1940 and five "Fresh Fields" Ends Fourth Season for Deerfield Stagers Concluding their fourth season, the Stagers take pleasure in preâ€" senting _ & _ ripâ€"roaring _ comedy, "Fresh Fields," on this Friday, April 26. The performance will beâ€" gin at 8:15 in the Deerfield Gramâ€" mar school auditorium. The fun in the play starts when Lady Mary Crabbe decides that, deâ€" spite her aristocratic forbears, it has become necessary to take in "paying guests" to make the ends of family finance meet. What she doesn‘t count on is the type of peoâ€" ple she does get in the persons of Mrs. Pidgeon, Una Pidgeon, and Tom Larcomb, a group of unpolishâ€" ed colonials from Australia. Mrs. Pidgeon is a constant source of embarrassment because of her characteristic outspokeness. Una persists in breaking everything in sight because of her awkwardness, and Tom likes nothing better than to practice his golf in the drawing room, under the more or less able tutelage of Ludlow, the butler. Another thorn in Lady Mary‘s side is her sister, Lady Lillian Bedâ€" worthy (a title conferred long ago by Henry VIIi). Lady Lillian conâ€" tributes her bit to the family fiâ€" nances by writing a column of adâ€" vice to the lovelorn, with the assistâ€" ance of her nephew, Tim, and the soâ€" cial secretary, Miss Swain. Two oneâ€"sided love affairs run their merry course as Una falls in love with Tim, and Tom becomes violently enamored of the delicate, sentimental Lady Lillian. Lady Strawholme is brought into the acâ€" tion, in an effort to get the awkward Una presented in court, but she, too, becomes more than a little overâ€" whelmed by it all. In this maze of complications and conflicts of character comedy situaâ€" tions abound, and members of the audience will find themselves chuckâ€" ling about many of these situations long after the play is over. L Una The production is under the direcâ€" tion of Kenneth Hunter. The usual competent backstage crew, James Russell, Milton Merner, Maurice Allsbrow, Kathleen A. Galloway, and Dorothy Boyle, will contribute their important part of providing a traâ€" ditionally excellent Stagers producâ€" The Woman‘s Guild of St. Paul‘s church will meet on Thursday, May 2, at 2 p.m. at the church with Mrs. St. Paul‘s Guild To Meet Thursday charge of the mn- : and the hostâ€" esses for the hour will be Mrs. James ‘Wilson, Mrs. James Fitger, Members of the cast are: Josephine Scheasler Kenneth Hunter Jordan Deerfield Groups To Sponsor Youth Citizenship Forum Deerfield is to have a "Citizenship Recognition Day" on Flag Day, June 14, with appropriate ceremonies. The first of the series of forums is scheduled for May 6. Noted speakers who have been asked to appear before the young people‘s gatherings will be announced next week. The idea, which has been aptly called "a project in maintainâ€" ing the democratic form of governâ€" ment" has gained momentum in Deerfield and all organizations in the village are cooperating with the Civic Association. E. F. Nelson, president of the Civic Association, explains the citizenship program thus: "Spurred by the success of the Wisconsin experiment the Deerfield Civic Association last Fall voted to sponsor a similar program in Deerâ€" field in 1940. A civic meeting, adâ€" dressed by Dr. Tubbs of Morgan Park High school, in September anâ€" nounced the plan. Subsequently, the Woman‘s Club, American Leâ€" gion, American Legion Auxiliary, the P.T.A., the Rotary Club, and the Stagers voted to take a hand. An exâ€" ecutive committee composed of repâ€" resentatives of these organizations selected June 14, Flag Day, as the day for the induction ceremony and will ask the village board to deâ€" clare this date official Deerfield Citâ€" izenship Recognition Day. Plans cal} for inauguratfon of a series of training classes, or forums, conâ€" ducted by men and women promâ€" inently identified with the practice and teaching of political science, during the first week in May. It has been decided to invite participation of all young people attaining votâ€" ing age between Nov. 4, 1938, and Nov. 4, 1940, thus reaching all who will vote in their first national elecâ€" tion this Fall. A program commitâ€" tee is seeking a speaker of renown for the induction ceremony and qualâ€" ifled leaders for the training forums. "We believe that the successful conclusion of this program will do much to revive the flagging spirit of old time community enterprise and to focus attention of the youngâ€" er generation on the need for imâ€" mediate acceptance of social responâ€" sibility so necessary if we are to successfully defend American prinâ€" ciples against the forces of interâ€" national brigandage, and insure the perpetuation of the democratic proâ€" cess in United States." Orville Endebrock To Be Buried in Dietrick, Today Orville Eendebrock, age 37, passâ€" ed away early Tuesday morning at his home on Deerfield road in Deerâ€" field, following a long illness due to heart trouble.
