-

By SUZV HORN

People of note among the lesser roles are Mary Warner
Ford as Rebecca Gibbs, and Ollle Morgan as Mrs.
Somes.
'Miss Ford is hilarious in her role of an
child and a continuous pest to her brother George. Her
lines are some of the funniest in the play.
Ollle Morgan as the town gossip Is Just too funny for
words. Her loud chattering and busy body walk provide
for many a hilarious moment.
Lynn Smith's portrayal of Mrs. Webb is cold and
stiff. She seems bored with the role and as a result bores
the audience. She lacks the vitality which Is so necessary
V
to this character.
The character of Mr. Webb has the difficult .Job of
putting into his words and actions a double meaning,
one which depicts evasion of a subject as well as humor.
Richard, Jones somehow misses the whole point of
some of, his funnier lines and therefore the audience
never realized what he is trying to put across.
Penny Mason does a commendable Job as Emily Webb.
In the first and second act she has all the enthusiasm
required of a young girl in love, however, in the last act
her death scene leaves something to be desired.
Her feeling of desperation to be recognized when she
returns after death does not carry over to the audience.

Thursday Associate Editor
The Guignol Players opened their second production
of the semester last night with their presentation of
Thornton Wilder's "Our Town."
The play as a whole is very good and is by far one
of the better productions of a play which can so often
become boring and tiresome.
. Bush Hunter, as the stage manager is by far the most
outstanding member of the east. His years of training
on Broadway have provided him with a ronfidenee and
projertion which is sometimes lacking in the other
members of the east. His voice fills the whole auditorium.
He transmits the feeling of a kindly old man talking
to one person about a typical new England town and
"its people. The term "folksy" would suffice to describe
his effect on the audience.
Another superior member of the cast was Linda Rue
as Mrs. Gibbs. The role calls for a projection of the
warm understanding of a mother for her growing children and her husband. Miss Rue handles this role
with en ease and naturalness which give the feeling
that she is really this person rather than merely acting
the role.
Lamar Herrin is good as George Gibbs but the character he portrays is not a difficult one.

done.

The portrayal of Dr. Gibbs by Larry Strong is done
in a fairly effective manner, however Strong's voice
does not carry and it is difficult to hear him in the
rear of the theatre.
The only really annoying fault of the play was the
diction of some of the lesser characters. Joe Crowell,
the paper boy, portrayed by Richard Meyers seems In
a hurry to leave the stage and his lines are spoken
in such haste that the audience Is only able to grasp
a word ever now and then.
Paul Faust as Howie Newsome also has trouble with
dropping the last word of his lines thus the audience
is unable to understand him.
Phil Cox as Constable Warren seemed to be bored
with the part and did not communicate the humor connected with this role.
The setting is just bare enough to allow for use of the
imagination and most of the pantomine is excellent.
John Pritchard, as director, has done an excellent Job
of whipping a difficult play, into an outstanding presentation. He has avoided the pitfalls of boredom and

developed a production

Accidental Poisonings Claim Many Lives
ny MIKE WENNINGER
Kernel Staff Writer
Hundreds of Kentucky children
under five years of age are accidentally poisoned each year.
Some of them get violently sick,
tut, with proper care, they soon
recover. Others, less fortunate, die.
Accidental poisoning is a problem not only in Kentucky, bat
throothout the United States. In
the Nov. 28, 1959, issue of the
"Journal of the American Medical
Association," Dr. Harold Jacob-tlner

reported:
"More children under five years
cf age died last year in New York
City from accidental chemical
poisonings than from diphtheria,
poliomyelitis, rheumatic fever,
rcarlet fever, and other strep-

tococcic infections combined."
Most cases ol accidental poisoning of young children are caused
by parents who keep common
household' products like kitchen

matches, furniture polish', drain
ckaners. and bleaches In places
where their children can reach

them.
These products, and many others, oft'n contain Ingredients that
tan poison a person if he happens
to swallow a sizeable amount of
the product.

Accidental poisonings sometimes
occur because of a "twist of fate."
Tins happened recently when a
young Kentucky girl's parent accidentally gave her a dose of insecticide in place of the medicine
she had been taking, and the girl
subsequently died.
In an effort to prevent such
tragedies from happening, the UK
College of Pharmacy and the Kentucky State Pharmaceutical Association began organizing the
Kentucky Poison Control Program
last year.
In April, 1958, the need for
quickly available information to
successfully treat home poisonings
was discussed at the annual Pharmacy Workshop here.
Pointing out the unique position
of the community pharmacist for
promotion of public "poison awareness," Dr. Charles A. Walton, head
of the Department of Materia
Medlca in the College of Pharmacy, urged the pharmacy profession to develop a state system
of cooperating poison control

Delayed Directories
For a number, of years Student
Congress has published a student
rectory listing the name, phone number, address, and other data about
each UK student. The book had served the University community graciously in many ways.
It had proved to be a valuable aid
especially to UK telephone operators
since, without it, efficiency is marred
by having to repeatedly issue telephone numbers. UK has no other
organ in which to inform the public
about its students and their life.

But blackening the picture is the
fact that, when the directory is finally published, it will be outdated.
(It was originally set to be printed
before Christmas.) As it invariably
happens, there will be dropouts,
changes of addresses, and other alterations which will cause the book
to lose much it its value.
.

The student directory is paid for
by the students through funds
Student Congress. A charge of
15 cents was placed on the book last
year in spite of the fact that 'it was
al-lot-

ed

published following the Thanksgiving
holidays, practically in the middle of
the ,year as .far' as students are concerned. This year's book is scheduled
to come from the presses early next

i

week and will cost the student 10
cents more than last year.
The added 10 cents, we understand,
is to help defray expenses accrued
by the congress last year, such as
dances, etc. This is utterly and insipidly ridiculous. Why should students
themselves pay for the gross mismanagement of a student governing group
which is not representative and not
efficient?
The situation seems to indicate a
gap of capability in SC operations. It
parallels the disgusting loss earlier
this year, when the
was printed, but contained so many
e
mistakes
and grammar-wis- e
that it would have been embarrassing to put it before the students.
There may be excuses for the delay
of the book, just as "there are excuses
for any inefficient operation. We
'don't expect the students putting out
the directory to be professionals, not
by any means. But we don't think it
should take three months to compile
and print the book
Whether SC is putting out the book
as a public service for the students
or whether it 'lias been forced upon
them by the administration, the delay will neither' help the editors nor
serve as a favorable recommendation
for the congress.

of a structure the Social Sciences
Building is allowed to remain.

Our ears still buzz from the roar
with which the ponderings of those
who favor classroom buildings over
student union buildings were answered. Before the clamor completely
dies down we should like to advance
a solution for the present morass
which inundates the plans for new
class buildings.
Since student union buildings are
profit making and therefore pay. for
themselves, why not build a new
SUB every five years, each time converting the old one into a classroom

building?
