The Senior Class of McCormick
| High School will present “The
Coming Of Caroline”, a three act
| comedy-drama, 1 on Thursday
night, March 18th, in the high
school auditorium at 8:15.
The scene of the play is in North
Carolina. The story thread is
woven around the inheritance o
a large plantation by Jerry Drake
who is known as the “Play boy of
the universe.” When Jerry comes
South to make his claims, compli
cations set in. His girl friend
Lorraine, turns him down and his
sister, Princess Kolinsky, comes
all the way from Russia, for her
part. She brings along her hen
pecked husband and a measley
count who furnish wit and humor.
A good supporting role is played
by Lucinda, Jerry’s guardian an
gel, and Jack Deering, his old
chum. Lucindy adopts two chil
dren whose ignorance provides
plenty of laughter.
Jerry’s fortune changes for bet
ter when his uncle sends a “baby
for him to care for. The “baby”
turns out to be “Caroline,” a very
attractive young girl. Jerry dis
covers that Caroline is so differ
ent from Lorraine and that she
is a real girl, who soon learns to
return his love.
The cast of characters is as fol
lows:
Aunt Lucindy—the faithful ser
vant—Doris Henderson,
Mattie—her understudy—Mary
F. Henderson,
Gerald Drake—an heir at large
Edward Campbell,
Jack Deering—his New York pal
Charles Sanders,
Caroline Carleton—Gerald’s leg
acy—Carolyn Rice,
Lorraine Macklin—Gerald’s fair
weather fiancee—Margie McCain.
Jane—Princess Kolinsky—Lucre-
tia Roper,
Michael—her husband—William
Cheatham,
Cherie—their friend—James Le
Roy,
Snowball White—orphan— Bob
by Huguley,
Jimmie—orphan— Gary Brown.
to his hpmefolk, he, in all prob
ability can’t get it through, but
the Red Cross can. And they will,

U. S. Employment
Service Needs 1,500
Women for War Plant
It is always a temptation
gardeners and commercial growers
to plant some of the many new
varieties and strains of vegetable.?
which are offered each year in
stead of the old standard vari -
ties, says County Agent G. m
Bonnette.
But the practical thing to do,
especially this year when food-
for-freedom production must b>
assured,, is to use only standard
varieties, the agent advises.
Many varieties which hr"'
in
South Carolina has been called
on to furnish 1,500 women work
ers for work in a war plant in a
nearby state, W. Rhett Harley,
director, of the United States Em
ployment Service in South Caro
lina, announced today.
Mr. Harley said that no one
need apply who had had experi
ence on a farm or who was now
employed in a war industry.
.Workers who are recruited un-
-ler this program will be paid 50
cents an hour and given an auto
matic raise after four weeks of
3 cents an hour. All work in ex
cess of 40 hours will be compen
sated at the rate of time and one-
half regular pay.
Those to be employed must be
from 18 to 45 years old and have
at least an eighth grade educa-
Hon. No previous experience in
f he work to be assigned is neces
sary, but those with industrial
experience are preferred, Mr. Har-
ey said. It was explained that
*he work will be on an assembly
line, inspecting and labor pro
cess.
Mi*. Harley said that room and
)oard are available near the War
Plant at rates ranging from $7
to $10 per week.
