Playbox Through the life of Thomas Wolfe, he desired more to be a writer of plays than of any other form. It is the act of fate that his life on the stage as seen in "Look Homeward Angel" should become one of the most powerful and important plays to have been written this century. Ketti Frings' adaptation of Wolfe's novel has won both the coveted Pulitzer prize and the New York Critics' Circle Award. The University of Utah Play-bo- x Theatre is proud to conclude its second summer season of Greats with this fine play. Rob-ert Hyde Wilson, director of the production, has collected a group of people who love and revel in the work of Wolfe and indeed in theatre. The scene is a boarding house called Dixieland; it is a house that once was a noble part of current taste but has since fallen into ill hands of disrepair. In this house live the Gants. the dominant mother played by Lua-cin- c Pingree; the submissive father, played by Marvin Boyer. and at the moment two sons, Eugene and Ben. Larry Roupe and James Kay Lowe. Part of the cast are such fine Salt Lake personalities as Eudora Zarr and Ted Dansie, who are to be seen as brother in law and sister in the play May Green Davis and Carolyn Conwell. Tickets for the production are on sale at Zion's Bookstore down town or Sugar House.

Postmaster Explains Second Class Mail "When most people hear the term 'second class mail,' they think instinctively of advertising matter," says Postmaster D. R. Trevithick. Second class matter includes newspapers and periodicals which have been approved under a special permit of the Post Of-fice Department for mailing at second class rates of postage. Usually such publications are devoted to news, literature, the sciences, the arts, or some special industry. If they are designed primarily for advertising pur-poses, they are not eligible for second class mailing privileges. Patrons may identify a second class magazine or newspaper by locating a printed notice on one of the first five pages which con-tains the name of the publication, the frequency of issuance, the issue number, the subscription price, the post office of publica-tion, and the wording "Second class postage paid at (name of post office).' If the publication contains such a notice, it may be mailed by a patron at a rate of 2c fo rthe first 2 ounces and lc for each additional ounce or frac-tion thereof, provided complete copies are sent. Incomplete copies or excerpts require the third or fourth class rate of post-age, whichever is applicable. "Newspapers published week-ly, or more often, usually re-ceive the same expeditious han-dling as first class mail, so that the subscribers may receive live and current information," says Postmaster Trevithick. It may be pointed out in gen-eral here that publishers' rates on second class mail have tradi-tionally Yjeon Yvelcl Vower IYvatv orv , all other classes of mail because of the belief by Congress that the inexpensive transmittal of read-ing matter is one of the corner-stones of the democratic way of life. Information about rates and other matters affecting second class mail may be secured im-mediately by calling DA 11 Extension 266.

By Bill McVey The Christian Herald Singer From the days of Martin Luther, through the Methodist revivals of Charles and John I Wesley, to the evangelical meet-ings of Moody and Sankey, hymns have played a vital part in our history as well as an essential role in religion. "Hymn singing." according to Rev. Dr. Daniel A. Poling, editor of Christian Herald magazine, "serves as an expression of faith and an uplifting force to unite man, God and family." A study of hymn singing also reveals how closely hymns are tied to history. The Pilgrims, in their first voyage across the Atlantic, were strengthened spiritually by sing-ing psalms from the Bible. The first book printed in America was a hymnal "The Bay Psalm Book." Luther added strength and po-pularity to the Protestant Re-formation by writing hymns to the tunes of popular German songs. He thus restored religious singing to the people and com-posed dozens of hymns himself. Charles Wesley (who. with his brother, John, founded Method-ism) wrote more than 6,000 hymns. Among these was the hymn that even today is sung wherever people worship to-gether, the eternal "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." America's unique contribution to hymn singing has been two-fold. Negro spirituals are acknowl-edged almost universally for their profound and deeply-movin- g piety. Such religious songs as "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," and "When the Saints Go Marchin' In" are known the world over. America's evangelistic move-ments are the turn of the cen-tury, dominated by Philip Phil-lips, Ira Sankey and Dwight L. Moody, contributed the gospel song. But music was an essential part of religious services for thousands of years prior to Pro-testantism. Jewish people traditionally phant their religious services in a minor, somewhat somber, key. Moslems call the faithful to daily prayer by a sing-son- g chant. Hindus and Buddhists fre- - Be the Tie That Binds," "Nearer, My God. To Thee," and "My Faith Looks Up to Thee." Hymns have been written by monks, ministers, teachers, housewives, noblemen, invalids, officials people from every denomination and every walk of life. Some hymns emphasize the Christian experience. Others pin-point the value of worship. Still others praise God's works on earth. All hymns, old and new, have one factor in common: they serve to bring people closer together and closer to God. They are prayers set to music, expressing man's highest religious feelings. Luther best expressed the beauty of hymn singing "Next to theology, I give the first and highest honor to music." quently use music, as wen as dancing, in their religious cere-monies. Roman Catholics have sung mass in Latin for centuries. But religious music never achieved its high degree of in-tegration with religious services until the advent of Protestant-ism. Indeed, most of the hymns we remember from childhood were composed by some of the most famous reformers and min-isters in Protestantism. Luther wrote "A Mighty Fort-ress Is Our God." Isaac Watts, who released church music from the restraints of Puritan psalm singing, wrote "Jesus Shall Reign." "Joy to the World," "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Lowell Mason, a Boston church organist during colonial days, wrote the music for such all-tim- e hymn favorites as "Blest Two Utah Youths Win Auto Prizes Two Utah teenage boys were named among the nation's best young model car designers and builders in the 1961 Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild model car competition. Newell Bringhurst, 2330 Lo-gan Way, Salt Lake City, and Gerald Turner, Logan, won the Utah top honors in the senior and junior division respectively. Nineteen-year-ol- d Bringhurst built a hardtop sports car, metal-lic blue in color, featuring "a wedge shaped design." Con-structed of white pine wood, the car took 250 hours to build. Junior division winner, Tur-ner, 15 years old, obtained the wood for his model by salvaging a shipping crate. Several hun-dred hours were required to carve, sand and paint his 1961 entry. Second state awards went to Denis and Ralph Butler, 3033 Polk Ave., Ogden. These brothers receive $100 each for their cre-ative work. Third place was won by Lawr-ence Taylor, 274 North Eccles Drive, Ogden. As the third state winner, Taylor has won $50 cash. Honorable mention awards of $25 each were received by Tim Allrcd. 140 West 2nd South, Lehi, and Kimball Lewis, 146 West -- Geneva, Dragerton. The awards won by these Utah boys are part of $117,000 in uni-versity scholarships and cash awards offered this year by the Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild. Since its beginning in 1930, the Guild has given $1,750,000 in awards to thousands of young American designers and crafts-men. Firm Establishes Office in S. L.
