"Gee Kids" Alice Is Coming Jan. 31 (Continued u-.m first page) Tlio character of "Alice" in the stage presenation is taken by Trasia Massey who. despite her youth, has had a wide, varied and active life In the theatre. A few seasons ago she appeared in the successful Broadway musical "Music in the Air", following this by appearing as a m<*nber of the Metropolitan Opera Company liallot. Needless to say her musical background is very complete and the continuance of her studies occupies what moments of leisure sho has. She has cove fed rolo of "Alice" since first entering the professional theatre. Her remarkable likeness to the original illustrations of the I^ewis Carroll's fantasy makes her performance more than ordinarily convincing. The character of "Gryhon'" is taken by Edwin Hugh, who is a favorite with audiences throughout the country. This marks his fourth season with the Clare Tree Major productions. During these years he has appeared in such great favorites as "Peter Pan", ''The Sleeping Beauty". "Little Women". and "Rip Van Winkle". Edwin was born In I>ondon where he received his early schooling -at St. Pauls and here he also received his first training In the theatre. He is a nephew of Hazel Dawn who was the Broadway star of "Pink Lady" fame. The character of the "Duchess" and I the "White Queen" is taken by Dorothy Martin who has shared in the work of the Children's Theater for many years. Paul Bedford, who claims a distant relationship with the great Edwin Booth, takes the character of tho "Mad Hatter" and Leslie Gorall, who won fame by his portrayal of the little boy who never grew up, "Peter Pan", takes the characters of "The White Rabbit" and tho "Mock Turtle". These are but a few of the outstanding stars who will appear In the production "Alice in Wonderland". The , cast is a large one and the production should be greeted by a packed house.' ??mden PoIoisU Trounce Pinehurtt (Continued from first page) nd one hi the tifth. For Camden Kddte O'Brien made a ounter in the (tret, a second In the ourth and tlio winning goat In the ixth and Joe Bate* scared two goals a the first and one in the third. Hailsoii scored a goal in Hie first. With 'Inehurst taking a t to 0 lead before he action had started, Fink put his quad two goals to -the good with a leer side shot from scrimmage 20 feet lit from tho east goal. Then Camion opened an offensive drive that) letted four goals, before Uie bell ended he initial ohukker. Fink narrowed lie gap to 4' to 3 in the second >yhen Camden went scoreless. In tho third 3&mden scored while Plnehurst was tept froiq the score boattT. .In tho ourth Fink's two goals with one for Camden narrowed the gap to 6 to 5 and ho score was tied in the fifth on Milk's tifth counter. Pinohurst went Kioreless in the sixth while O'Brien jcored for Camden midway o' the >erlod. So lapge was the crowd that traffic ifflcors had to close the field to autonoblles shortly aft or 3 o'clock and hose who came late were forced (to iark on nearby streets. Much interest was added to tho game by the play >y play description as given over a nibllc address system. Next Sunday the Camden Polo club innounces the first game of the Define cup series. In today's game E. S. Allison of \lken, famous internatlnoal referee, vas the ninth man In tho arena. Alison was at one time rated as an outstanding polo player until an accident nade it necessary for him to give up :he sport. He is in great demand as a eferee.

The International News and the Hearst News Service as well as the* Charlotte Observer all had camera men on the job. Jake Houston of The Observer and Kennedy of j the INS took many shots of the polo action and in the crowd. Russ Hodges declared that he was going to make an effort to interest the Columbia Broadcasting outfit to assign him to broadcast one of the games here in March. The double victory of the Camden pek) teams here and at Pinehurst has boosted Camden sporting stock far above par. The manner in which the traffic was handled before and after the game was worthy of much pratee. The 1 Camden police did a splendid Job and there was no confusion in clearing the area of motorists. At Pine hurst Too I Combining good mounts with, topnotch team play, Camden (S. C.) defeated Pinehurst's No. 2 polo team, 5 to 3 Sunday afternoon at Pinehurst. The Pinehurst players hit well but didn't seem to be at the right part of the field at the right time. Kirby Tupper, playing No. 1 position, and Carl Eight foot at No. 4 scored two goals each for the invading team. Ancrum Boykin, No. 3, carded the fifth goal in the fifth chukker.

Hf.rf arf somp ^acts about Ford Labor. During the year ended November 30th, 19 ?0. the Ford Payroll throughout the United States averaged 113,628 hourly \Viif;e earners, not including olhce employes, students, or executives. They were paid S183,105,639.1 2. On this basis, the average annual wage was $1,629.05. According to the latest available government figures, the annual average wage of all workers in employment covered by old age insurance law was $8 4 1.00. If the 45,000,000 workers of this country received the same average wage as Ford employes, they would have had additional wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus increasing the national income about 50' i . Think what such an increase would mean to the workers of this country and to the American farmer, whose prices are based on the national income. Wage scales in the Fori! Rouge plants are divided into three classifications: Unskilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 75c per hour Semi-skilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 80c per hour Skilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 90c per hour Higher wages are in consideration of ability and years of service. Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor at the Rouge plant are the highest in the industry. Top wages for skilled labor compare favorably with, or arc higher than, wages in other automobile plants. Now some facts on Ford lalxir conditions: Not only are sanitation and other health conditions the best in the industry, but Ford also leads in safety devices for the protection of employes. Proof of this is found in the following com parison of compensation insurance costs: The national average rate in automotive manufacturing plants as computed by the National Association of Underwriters is in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100 payroll. The Ford cost of workmen's compensation is less than 50c. This indicates that the chance of injury in a lord plant is much less than in the average automobile plant. The Fort! Motor Company has no age limit for labor, and in fact deliberately attempts to keep older workers worf.ing. The average age of Ford workers ut the Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7. A recent check-up shows that nearly onehalf the workers at these Ford plants were 40 or over, falling into these age groups: 25,819 between 40 and 50 14,731 between 50 and 60 3,377 between 60 and 70 417 between 70 and 80 12 between 80 and 90 ! In addition to the so-called regular employes, the Ford Motor Company has hired, and now has on the payroll, at the j same regular hourly wage, thousands of workers who are blind, crippled or otherwise incapacitated for normal productive work. They arc not selected for their ability to build cars or to maintain the plant. They are on the payroll because of Henry Ford's belief that the responsibility of a large company to labor goes beyond the point at which the unfortunate worker can no longer produce profitably. ! The above are facts. They are open to anyone who really wants to deal in facts. Anyone who wants to get a job . . . buy a car ... or place a national defense contract on the basis of fair labor treatment must place Ford at the top of his eligible list. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ? ?.?
