There fore, the program of the Lau rens County Cancer Society, as in other county units throughout the state, covers many phases of service ren dered other than medication. A recent volunteer service to the countv program was discussed and approved at the April meeting of officers and directors. This service will cover information to the public on the scope of the cancer program in all ser vices available to the cancer patients and their families. Mrs. Sarah DeLoach, coun ty commander, provides a supply room in which donated articles are stored. This room has been the means by which the physical and psychologi cal burdens have been lessen ed for many cancer patients. County residents doubtless have many of the needed it ems which can be put to good use by donating them. They in clude night gowns, pajamas for both men and women, robes, preferably of wash material, bedroom shoes, clothing and footstools for elevating the feet to prevent swelling. Storage space is maintain ed at the Citv Ice Company in Laurens. Donations “may be left there.

Zeb Williams Thisrpast Friday and Satur- day nights the Laurens Com- mun’tv Theater combined the dramatic talent of Laurens and Clinton in “Send Me No Flowers,” a 3-act comedy bv Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore, made famous by Dor is Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall. “Send Me No Flowers” was the first joint venture by the two communi ties in the s ! x-year h'story of the theater’s existence. The committee made a wise choice in selecting this play which was based on a hilarious situation, contained so many great comic lines and moved at a rapid pace. The plot centered around a hypochrondical husband who interprets every pain of indi gestion as an impending heart attack. He overhears his doctor desorbing another patent’s condition—and the play was off to the races. From the opening dialogue one could tell he was going to enjoy this play. Some of the lines’ were a bit flat, the tim ing was slow in places, but the audience stayed wjth the actors and appreciated all the hard work the members of the community theater exert ed. Six ‘ members of the cast were performing with the Lafirens Community Theater for the very first time. They learned their lines well, need ed little prompting and had to overcome a lot of frustrating obstacles in production. Frank Sherrill, Clinton’s answer tp Jack Lemmon, car ried most of the play. It was a little difficult, however, to imagine tii&_having been mar ried to the attractive Joanne Smith, whp played Judy Kim ball, for fifteen years. Bob Hanson was the weal thy old flame who reappears and gives the plot an unex pected turn—and have you ever heard a Connecticut Yankee talk like a Texan—or is it vice versa? Charles Ruark played the good friend and lawyer next door. Somehow he just wasn’t convincing in his drunk scenes. Maybe it was because if he really stumbled the scenery would collapse or maybe he just had good Sun day School teachers in his childhood. Gordon Collins as the doc tor, and Bill Peters as the Forest Lawn salesman stole the scenes they appeared in and proved their claim to th§ title of “old pro.” The other CARD OF THANKS The family of Annie Belle Poole Brown wishes to thapk their friends for the kindness sown them during the illness and at the death of tljeir sis ter. —THE FAMILY OF ANNIE BELLE POOLE BROWN characters portrayed by Keith Blore, Wirron Willis, Jack Burts, Charlotte Reed, and especially Anne Cook were well suited for their roles. The community theater is a much-needed addition to the ciptural life of the county. There is a lot of talent avail able in the Laurens-Clinton community and a little the- tpr can help develpp 4- “lose wbo bave participated in a cpmmiwity theater c* n tell yap that there is much more pieasnre in doing some thing ereative yowrseif than in watPhing a grown of pro fessional* on Tv. Bight now the LCT needs a “home.” The present facili ties leave* a tot to be desired. Bpt in spite of the noise of stiff light switches, children playfng outside, lack of yen- $ tilation and other inconven iences; our local group did an excellent job in “Send Me No Flowers.” Let’s hope that LCT will be changed to mean "Laurens - Clinton Theater” permanently. Their first combined dramatic attempt was a success and I know one person who intends to give them his full cooperation in their next venture. , Too Late to Classify FOR SALE—Used 8x36 Mo bile home.
