Well-Known
Drama Star
Comes Home
By KEN POWELL
Most of you drama fans know
of whom we are speaking when
we mention "The Beautiful Laura
Lee," but did you know that she is
a former Columbia girl and a
graduate of this university?
Laura has played in many plays
including "The Male Animal,"
"Stepping Sisters," "Kiss And
Tell," and "The Voice Of The
Turtle." Her radio work includes
parts on: Let's Pretend, Pepper
Young's Family, Reader's Digest,
Henry Aldrich, Dr. Christian,
Ladies Be Seated, and other pro
grams.
She has played in such movies
as "Yes, My Darling Daughter,"
"Philadelphia Story," and "Strange
Redfellows."
Laura, now Mrs. A. M. Vang,
returned home last week from
London, Ontario. After a visit with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. D.
Green of Columbia, she will be off

Bound Century-Old
British Newspapers
By MARY ANN .McCURRY
A bound volume of copies over
100 years old of the Illustrated
London News was received recently
by Mrs. Arney R. Childs, dean of
women, from an Englishwoman in
London.
The rare gift was given in ap
preciation of efforts made by Mrs.
Childs to secure the former address
of an American girl who died in
England.
Mrs. Childs received a letter last
May from the Englishwoman, ask
ing for the address of the Ameri
can girl's parents. Mrs. Childs con
taeted the Red Cross and all pos
sible agencies in Columbia, but the
address could not be obtained.
Mrs. Childs wrote to Columbia
University, realizing a possible
mistake in the girl's alma mater,
and received her parent's address
from the registrar.
A letter preceding the volume
read, "For your kindness, I shall
send you a very old book, it might
interest you; my mother gave it
to me, before she was taken in the
last war. My grandmother had
them bound . . ."
The volume contains copies dated
from 1848 to 1862. Several copies
feature pictures of marriages of
Ohe English royal family and Queen
Victoria's husband. Another pic
ture of interest was an American
S-uthern plantation scene of a
religious meeting.

USC Parking
Are Friendly 4

By PAUL FOSTER ~ u
Feature Editor c:
"Our purpose is to help and not 0
to regiment," declared Tillman S.
Harsey, one of the campus parking lR
regulators, when asked about his I'
job. P
"By directing parking, enforcing t
regulations, and closing the horse- P
shoe to traffic when we have a
'full house', we are saying folks
trouble and confusion, and helping S
to prevent accidents," he added, a:
Harsey is 59 years old, but is ti
just a youngster compared to J. W. Cl
Powers, the morning regulator, St
who is 82. If one were guessing, v~
however, he would imagine Powers
to be not over 65, for his sprightll- G
ness and intelligence belie his di
years. st
Neatly dressed in a blue serge d
mit, blue overcoat and hat, and
rearing rubbers ("My wife thought ir1
t looked like rain," he explained w
with a smile), Powers puffed at ni
tis pipe and conversed with' the fr
writer in a quiet, friendly and con- h<
~ise manner. He explained the uj
rorseshoe had parking spaces for se
50 cars, with additional parking a
ipaces for university personnel and al
Eaculty behind Legare College. The ar
iorseshoe is opened to parking at sl
1:30 in the mornings and remains uj
pen until 6:00 in the afternoon. an
Powers added that parking rules m1
were very reasonable. "All we re- s<
auire is that cars be parked within vi
lesignated parking spaces, with
sut bulging over the line," he said. fi
Parking violators receive a warn- Pl
ing for the first offense; a penalty H
for the second.w
Powers is on duty from 8:00 to
1:00; Harsey, from 1:00 until 8:00.
They have their post at the right
gate of the horseshoe on Sumter
Street. Their "bad, weather office"
is a small, white six-sided struc
ture just behind the gate.
Powers was born In Liberty Hill,
South Carolina in 1867. For sev
eral years after his marriage lhe
farmed in that section, but soon
moved to Columbia where he en
tered the mercantile business. He
soon became buyer and general
manager for a Columbia firm, and
continued in that capacity for 38
years.
Of the Powers' niDe children,
seven are still living. He has 18
grandchildren and 11 great-grand
children. "It's getting hard to keep
