Cancer Volunteer
Service Discussed
Cancer patients pass the
greater part of their illness
in their home, making pre-
riodic visits to the clinics for
medical assistance. 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.

A REVIEW
By Rev. 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

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-

Bight now the LCT needs a
“home.” The present facili

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. ,
