Its brief in word, but broad in meaning and effects it can have on each man, woman and child who lives in this vicinity. . A-this Christmas, Is the advice. I happen to know that your hometown merchant has gone to a lot of trouble and expense to bring you the best possible merchandise, both for Gifts and the various other necessities you'll be needing for the holiday season. . . Not only can you get just about anything yoq want, but remember your hometown merchant is your neighbor and friend its he who makes the contributions that decorates our Main Street; its he who aids the widows and underprivileged in the communities with contributions at Christmas time; its he who pays the taxes that maintain the schools in your town; its he who does a thousand and one other things that make your life pleasant. Im sure if those who think they have to make a trip to the city to do their Christmas shopping, will sit down and do a little figuring and apply common sdnse in reasoning, they. will find it has cost them money to make the trip, plus the time lost and the inconvenience of driving through a snow storm, or blowing out a tire, and too often, a car wreck.

A traveling cast from the BYU are presenting the play. The language of the play, also, is of a type similar to that which might be used today under similar conditions. There is something perverse in lovers, now as there was then, that makes them believe they actually hate each other because they are afraid of letting their emotions show. It is thus easy to understand why Katherine might call a mad-caruffian and a swearing Jack, a frantic and other affectionate fool, terms. Leading roles in the play will be taken by Ann Culhmore, Provo, as Katherine, the shrew, and Ralph Lundgreen, Preston, Idaho, as her tamer, Pet-ruch- io p Pet-ruchi- o. Bianca, Katherines younger sister, will be played by Darlene Capson, Moreland, Idaho. Sponsors of the Duchesne performance is the Duchesne PTA, who will use the proceeds from ticket sales to supplement the fund for a public library being planned for Duchesne. The Roosevelt Stake is sponsoring the performance at Roosevelt. |
