Haynes specialized in business re.search, becoming an executive ofthe McGraw-Hill Publishing Co.During the war he visited Englandand interviewed industrialists, la-bor leaders and government offi-cials and his "Report on Britain"published in "Harpers" was anoutstanding study dealing with theBritish methods of handling laborproblems. Mr. Haynes participatedin the Rollins Economic Conferenceof 1945 and is an active force forfuller public understanding of busi-uess and labor problems.

WM. TBUFANT FOSTERDr. William Trufant Poster, fa-

mous educator, economist, and for-mer head of Reed College in Ore-gon, believes that educators mustconstantly be investigating andproving their theories and prac-tices in education. He stated thatwhen he was at Reed this theorywas put into effect.

Reed College was one of the firstprogressive colleges, and set thepace! for many of the progressivecolleges existing today. It wasfounded with the idea of breakingaway from most of the acceptedcredos. Each principle of educa-tion was carefully examined andanalyzed, and proved to fill a defi-nite need, before it was accepted.For Instance, Reed was one of the

first colleges to use psychologicaltests to determine the ability of thestudent, in fact, the faculty of Reedinvented and perfected their owntest.

According to Dr. Foster one ofthe first things decided when Reedwas founded was to have no inter-collegiate athletics and no fraterni-ties or clubs. He believes that fra-ternities, and also a heavy programof inter-collegiate athletics, as wellas being undemocratic, are of ad-vantage only to those people whoneed them least, and do not helpthe ones who need them most. Lat-er the students voted that they didnot ever want to have fraternitieson campus.

CAROLA BELL WILLIAMSMistress of the rare art of mono-

logue, Carola Bell Williams is play-wright, costume designer, stagemanager and the whole cast in herproduction. She combines a defthandling of plot and character withunusual gifts of voice and gesture.Her changes of costume are exe-cuted with amazing speed and herportrayals of the different charac-ters so vivid that her audience isled to believe that not only hervoice but even her face and figurechange with the changing parts.Miss Williams recently made a dis-tinctive impression in Winter Parkin her own play "The Foundling".

DR. WELLINGTON KOOOn the present crisis in China,

Dr. Koo puts the blame on the Com-munists, whose recalcitrance makescomplete unity unattainable today."What they desire most appears tobe a continued deterioration andchaos, so that they could discreditthe Government . . . and improvetheir own chance of . . . installinga Communist China. Owing allegi-ance to the Communist headquar-ters abroad, they are perhapsthemselves not free agents. Theonly alternative left open to theGovernment is to proceed with its

plan of political unification andeconomic reconstruction . . . with-out perpetually waiting on the co-operation of the Communists."

WALLACE TREVOR HOLLIDAYOne of the leaders in the present

liberal attitude of big industrialexecutives, Mr. Holliday has takena strong stand on the human inter-est side of business. His legal train-ing (Harvard LL.B. 1908) gave hima wider view of public relations ashe progressed to the presidency ofthe Standard Oil Co. of Ohio. Mr.Holliday feels that much of thedifficulty between labor and man-agement is due to the limited view-point of American business menwhose chief aim was to produceand sell things efficiently, with in-sufficient recognition of the humanelement. On the other hand, Mr.Holliday points out that businesshas a strong case for it has giventhe American people by far thehighest standard of living in anytime or place.

DR. PREM NATH DASSA member of a well-known Chris-

tian family of Punjab, India, Dr.Dass has recently retired from thePresidency of Isabella ThoburnCollege at Lucknow, the first Chris-tian college for women in Asia,having served for six years as thefirst Indian president of any in-stitution of its kind in her country.She received her pre-college edu-cation in a mission school in La-hore, and after four years of workat Isabella Thoburn College came

WILLIAM ORVILLE DOUGLASA career typically American is

that of Justice Douglas who at 41years took his place in the UnitedStates Supreme Court, the young-est to fill that position in 125 years.The son of a poor Presbyterianhome missionary who died whenDouglas was five, leaving a wifeand three children and $2,000 in-surance, his success has been ach-ieved the hard way by working andfighting for it. He took any kindof work he could get to help hisfamily and get an education. Ascholarship at Whitman Universitywas crowned with a Phi Beta Kap-pa key and presidency of the stu-dent body. He landed in New Yorkwith 12c in his pocket but in a fewyears was rated by Robert May-nard Hutchins, Dean of Yale LawSchool, as "the outstanding profes-sor of law in the nation." He be-came expert in corporation law anddiagnosed correctly the evils ofWall Street finance. As chairmanof the SEC he reformed the Street.He "found the New York Stock Ex-change a private club and left it apublic institution". His is one ofthe sharpest and deftest minds inWashington, a liberal and reformer,not just for reform's sake, but torevitalize both our economy andnational morale.

"MARK TWAIN" HOLDSFIRST-NIGHT AUDIENCEWinter Park's first night audience

But whether thisbetokened success as a play is noteasy to determine. Mr. Shermanhas evolved something novel incombining theatre, radio and filmeffects and while many of the in-

cidents are effectively done it re-mains more a series of incidentsrather than drama. Perhaps thiswill satisfy the public—who loveincidents when they are highlyglamorized. Fred Stone gave amemorable picture of Mark Twainand he made the most of the quo-tations from his writings whichwon the whole world. Perhaps themost effective scene was the onewhere Mark lost the collar buttonof his dress shirt and was found byan English reporter on the floorlooking for it. Here the famous"reports of my decease are gross-ly exaggerated" got the best re-sponse from the audience—anotherindication, by the way, that "MarkTwain" possesses human interest.The supporting cast was up to theusual Rollins standard and HowardBailey is to be congratulated for aproduction which will stand high inRollins annals.

Symphony SocietyPlans Orchestra

It was back in the spring of1927 that the Central Florida Sym-phony Orchestra played its firstconcerts in Winter Park at the oldRollins Recreation Hall. Just ascore of years ago, yet few musiclovers are still around of those whoenjoyed the performances of thatpioneer season.

The Symphony Society of Cen-tral Florida was obliged to suspendthe operations of the orchestra withthe conclusion of the 1941-42 sea-son, after its 16 years continuousconcert career, because of theWorld War II which dispersed themusicians to the far corners of theworld., This year the Symphony Society

is resuming activity. A survey ofthe musical possibilities indicatedthat there was not yet a sufficientnumber of trained student and pro-fessional instrumentalists in Cen-tral Florida, to permit reorganiza-tion of the orchestra at this time,so the board of directors decidedon a series of benefit concerts bydistinguished artists in the field ofthe string quartet, piano and voice.

These benefit concerts are beingpresented to raise funds for theunprecedented expenses which mustbe met by the Symphony Societyin reorganizing the Central Florida

IP

Symphony Orchestra, possibly nextseason. Costs of everything whichgoes to make a successful musicalensemble, including equipment,musicians wages, etc., will be muchgreater than before the war. Forthis reason President George C,Keiser of Winter Park has issued awidespread appeal for the supportof all friends of the Symphony Or-chestra in former years, and new-comers to the musical world ofCentral Florida who are willing tohelp this worthy movement.

Only with the generous and whole-hearted assistance and cooperationof all Central Florida music loverswill the Symphony Society be ableto revive the late Dr. Mary Leon-ard's ideal of the best symphonyorchestra of a comparable naturein the country, something whichwas nearly achieved in the v,yearsjust before the war. Dr. Leonardwas founder and manager and chieffinancial backer of the Central Flor-ida Symphony during the years ofits early period up to her deathjust before the war.

The present Symphony Benefitcampaign has the enthusiastic sup-port of Dr, Serge Koussevitsky,winter visitor in Winter Park andconductor of the Boston SymphonyOrchestra, and also of Dr. SidneyHomer, noted composer and hiswife, Mme. Louise Homer, theworld-famous contralto, now retiredat her winter home here. They

know the significant and fundamen-tal place filled by the orchestra inthe musical life of Central Floridathrough the years, and what its re-organization will mean to the cul-tural values of the community.

The 1947 Benefit series beganFeb. 1 with the Gordon String Quar-tet, will continue March 5 with theduo-pianists, Braggiotti and Chai-kin, and will conclude March 14with Lawrence Tibbett, Metropoli-tan Opera baritone. AH concertsare at the Winter Park High Schoolauditorium, and tickets are avail-able at the Music Box in WinterPark, and at the Southern MusicStore in Orlando.

The Symphony Society officersinclude Mrs. Leonard Dyer, vice-president; Miss Matilda Campbell,secretary; and Henry Schenck,treasurer. Wyndham Hayward, amember of the board of directorsis in charge of publicity. Other di-rectors include leading figures inthe musical, literary and artistic

life of Orlando and Winter Park.The March 5th benefit concert by

Mario Brag-giotti and Jack Ghaikin,two-piano team, is expected toprove one of the most popular mu-sical events of the season, as theseversatile young artists will presenta classical and modern programranging from Bach to George Ger-shwin's "Rhapsody in Blue", ar-ranged for two pianos. Braggiottiand Chaikin are recognized as out-standing interpreters of Gershwin'sworks, and were once compliment-ed by the composer on their graspof his medium.

WORD FROM KERVIGNACBaroness van Boecop announces

(hat she has received a letter fromM. Laventure, Mayor of Kervignao,tbe village in Brittany which is thechosen object of the charity ofWinter Park and French sympa-thizers in Central Florida. We pub-lish the letter here:'•Dear Madame,

"I have the honor and pleasure toacknowledge reception of your let-ters of the first and sixteenth ofJanuary. I at once informed thaCure and a meeting of the psople ofKervignac taking place last Sun-day, I told them the good news alsoand how much you were doing andthe efforts you were making forthem and that the confidence theyhave in the American generositycoming to their help was justified.They have suffered so much thateven ths thought that someonecares is a comfort in their misery.

"Please be g'ood enough to be myinterpreter and to tell the kindpersons who are helping so gen-erously that in the name of my"Sinlstres" I am sending them,through you, all my gratitude andthanks.

"We have received the footballyou sent and it is already severelyired every Sunday and is the joyof our young boys who have askedme to thank you especially for it,

"I see also, dear Madame, thatyou have thought of M. le Maire,and this gesture has deeply movedme. The duties of mayor are es-pecially hard and we are not al-ways rewarded as we should be,and this meant much to me thatyou had thought, you who are do-ing so much yourselves. But, with

WINTER PARK TOPICS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1947

all my thanks, I want to tell you,and I insist on it, that M. le Mairewill not accept anything for himselfas long as the "sinistres" of hisvillage have not been provided for.You will understand.

"We are all working and the re-construction of farms is well underway. Twelve ai\3 already recon-structed, among them that of theMorantin family, who are living inthe hcuse now and going on withthe work. (The letter here givesdetails of the order in which thereconstruction is to be done firstfarms, and then houses in the vil-lage. The houses are being patchedup, u^ing old materials for patch-ing the shattered walls.)

"The sewing machine you an-nounce you are sending will be ofthe greatest help. The nuns haveorganized a sewing room and aredoing all that can be done with thematerials at hand.

"As soon as your packages ar-rive, I shall call a meeting of M.le Cure and the Mother Superiorand we shall distribute your giftsto the most needy at once. We Willwrite to you immediately. Mean-while, to know that help is on theway is already so consoling. I askyou again to transmit our thanksto the Americans who so graciouslyare helping."

The letter continues with a post-script written three days later: "Ihave been unable to send my letteras we are snowbound. We have 26centimetres of snow and all com-munications, are cut off. I haveasked for potatoes and wood as theneed is so great in tills new emer-gency and I am happy to say thatthose who had been able to storesome of these two most important

necessities have responded. Wehave to feed the children and theold people. This inclemency of theweather is another burden addedto the already overwhelming oneswe have to carry but we are doingali ws can and the work goes on,though under greater difficulties."

Work of William Butler Yeats Described byMrs. Seollard at Poetry Society Meeting

l>y Mabel MountsierThe Poetry Society of Florida met

at the home of Mrs, George Kraft,February 15, when Jessie B. Rit-tenhouse Seollard spoke on "RecentBooks about William Butler Yeats."

An excellent biography of Yeatshas been written by Joseph Hone,who has also edited the letters pfthe gifted artist J. B. Yeats to hisson William, letters replete withcreative ideas. In his later lifeJ. B, Yeats lived in New York,where he was famed as a brilliantconversationalist. Once when Mrs.Seollard had spoken to him aboutRobert Frost's having taken hisfamily to England on absurdly lim-ited means, he replied that destinycares for the true poet who ifpushed over a cliff would be savedby a tree springing forth.

A delightful book not yet in thebookshops is Mary Colum's "Lifeand a Dream," reminiscences ofthe group of Irish poets to whichher husband Padraic belonged.

In his early youth Yeats hadbeen taken to London by his fath-er, but his over-mastering love forIreland drew him back to his nativesoil. "I will arise and go now,and go to Innisfree."

Yeats' early poetry was objec-tive and written to appeal to thepopular taste, but a change waswrought in him by his love and ad-oration of the transcendently beau-tiful Mary Gonne. By this experi-ence his deepest feeling wasaroused and was expressed in his

poetry. For many years Yeats wasdevoted to this woman, whose beau-ty was a marvel to all who sawher. Her form and features werebeyond compare, and her complex-ion was "as luminous as sunlightthrough apple blossoms." "Out-rageously beautiful" was the epi-thet of G. B. Shaw. But they didnot marry, perhaps because Marywith her fiery blood was a violentrevolutionist ar.d Yeats was a be-liever in Ireland's freedom throughpeaceful evolution. He sang "tosweeten Ireland's wrongs."

The Irish Renaissance in whichWilliam Butler Yeats had so largepart had its beginning in the reviv-al of ths little-known Gaelic liter-ature of the period between thethird and fifth centuries. Embed-ded in this were the legends of theDruids; the elements of fear, sad-ness, and wistfulness brought intoit by Patrick; and the Irish fair-ies, creatures of this earth.

In 1878 Standish O'Grady pub-lished his "History of Ireland:Mythical Period," a spirited bookfull of fire. After this DouglasHyde collected folk tales and Gaelicpoetry printed with the Englishtranslation of each poem on theopposite page. He also founded theGaelic League. Soon the study ofGaelic became fashionable in Dub-lin and the Irish Renaissance wasin full swing.

By the turn o£ the century Yeatshad written many plays on Irishsubjects, among them, The Count-ess Cathleen, The Land of Heart'sDesire, and Cathleen ni Houlihan,and he desired to round an Irishtheater. At this time Lady Greg-ory, a patroness of the arts, madeit possible to build the Abbey The-atre in Dublin, where the plays ofYeats and Synge were enacted. Inthe meantime Yeats had gone tothe country home of Lady Greg-ory for a week-end and far frombeing well, his hostess had himcared for. He stayed twenty years,

Yeats belonged to the same gen-eration as the decadent school, thetragic generation—James Thomp-son, Ernest Dowsen, John David-son, Oscar Wilde. All these by self-indulgence destroyed themselvesbut Yeats, poet with high ideals andworking for a great cause, enjoyedan old age rilled with happiness andhonors. After fifty he married anideal wife, had two children and ahome in Dublin, received many uni.

University Club <>t Winter Park

UNIVERSITY CLUBIt is doubtful whether there ex-

ists anywhere so unique an organ-ization as the men's UniversityClub of Winter Park. In this Clubthere are gathered eminent men,largely but not entirely collegegraduates, from practically all theprofessions and many of the busi-ness activities of this country. Ofthe over 450 members about onequarter are listed in Who's Who inAmerica, and many of the othershave been so successful that theyare to be found in the lists of lead-ers in their occupations.

To its members the Club is in-valuable. It brings to the olderones who have retired from activework the mental stimulation andfriendly associations that are sonecessary to active minds. To theyounger members who are still inactive service it offers associationwith those who have reached sub-stantial achievement in many fieldsof endeavor.

On two afternoons a week thereare "Pow-wows", consisting of anhour's program Of speaking ' anddiscussion, and twice a month eve-ning lectures follow the businessmeeting's. These meetings includedinners and other refreshments,and there are also social affairs towhich the ladies are invited.

At the present time the Olub isdeep in plans for a new club-house,since the membership has out-grown its present quarters. TheBuilding Committee estimates thecost of land, building and equip-ment at $55,000, and subscriptionsin cash and pledges have alreadypassed $43,000. It is hoped that con-ditions in regard to building, aswell as the completion of the fund,will make it possible to undertakebuilding operations this summer orfall.

The Olub is increasingly makingefforts to serve the community atlarge as well as its own members.Since 1943 it has had a Student Aid

Fund from which help is given todeserving students who are tryingto obtain a college education. Twicethis winter it has opened its eve-ning.meeting to the public, once foran address by Leo Cherne, andmore recently for one by Sam Hig-ginbottom. The attendance at thesemeetings showed the interest of thecommunity in such opportunities.

Of the Club's contributions to thecommunity, however, probably themost important has been its in-fluence in bringing desirable fam-ilies to Winter Park and Orlando.Very often expectation of mem-bership in the University club isthe determining factor in a man'schoice of this section for his resi-dence, and, fortunately, the womenof a family are equally appealedto by the advantages of the Wo-man's Club.

A very important contribution tothe community is now under con-sideration. A generous member ofthe Club has offered to help sub-stantially in financing a Club projectfor Winter Park. The officers anda special committee are investigat-ing the possibility of joining theexisting movement for providing acommunity center for the Negroes,taking as the Club's particular in-terest provision for a club of col-ored men who will work for betterinter-racial relations and betterconditions in the colored section. Itis hoped that the University Clubwill set up permanent arrange-ments for cooperation between itsmembers and the colored group,with good results not only in thiscommunity, but with possible in-fluence toward similar action inother towns and cities.

AMONG WARRIORS revealed apersonality rarely charming. If shewins the hearts of her listeners asshe won everybody she met on hertravels they will be ravine; abouther when they leave.

I found her book unsurpassed byany other correspondent's work Ihad read. It reveals illuminatingfacts about people high and low,powerful and unimportant, all kindsand conditions of men, in the manycountries she reached. Her greatfamily name introduced her favor-ably to rulers and generals, toartists and writers, to the greatand near-great. Her special powersof observation and sympathy re-sulted in vivid pictures describedwith fine literary skill. The fact isthat this winsome lady, inheritedgenius from both her parents, gen-ius which has taken the form notof scientific discovery but of aconquering personality. A lectureinformed by that personality issure to be powerful.

There will be only one difficultyas to the lecture. One hour or alittle more will not be enough totell a tenth of what she might say.The audience will want more—agood state of mind to leave.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter W. PriceThe community was shocked and

grieved at the tragic deaths of Mr.and Mrs. Walter W. Price, both 39,from an unexplained chemical ex-plosion in Mr. Price's laboratoryat the rear of their home, 408 HoltAvenue on Sunday night.

Mrs. Price, as Margaret Shats-well, only child of Dr. and Mrs. H.K. Shatswell, of Dedham, Mass.,and 756 Maryland Avenue, WinterPark, had been prominent andmuch admired in her many activi-ties here before the war. Possess-ing a brilliant mind, she had studiedin Paris, travelled extensively withher mother, was a graduate of Rad-cliffe and Florida State College forWomen and before that had at-tended Antioch College for twoyears where she first met Mr.Price, also a student there, in 1926.They were married 17 years later,when Capt. Price, was stationed atCamp Blanding. He in the mean-time had attended Muhlenburg Col-lege, Pa. and studied radio abroad,being in Europe when the warbroke out. He came home to Phila-delphia and immediately enlistedand was sent to Fort Monmouth forhis preliminary training. While hewas stationed at Dayton, O. Mrs.Price, an excellent linguist, trans-lated for the government. Theycame to Winter Park two yearsago where Mr, Price had estab-lished a successful career furnish-ing equipment for amateur magi-cians and writing for their maga-zines.

They have a 14-months-old daugh-ter, Polly, who was heroicallybrought to safety by her motherunharmed.

The deepest sympathy of a hostof friends is extended to their fa-milies.

AT MEAD GARDENSTwo unusual orchid blooms have

joined the flock of other orchidblooms on the Exhibition Table inthe Mead Garden during the pastfew days.

One of these is a Brasso-Cattleya,with mammoth yellow flowers withfringed lip. The other new-comeris a Brasso-Laelia Cattleya named"Gordon Highlander". This a largewhite flower with lavendar throatand fringed lip.

Altogether, there are a score ofvarieties of orchids now blooming,and several of the varieties arefragrant. There are a half-dozenstalks of the Phaius or "Fun Or-chid" now in bloom. Deep withinthe lavendar throat of each floweris the image of a white hooded nun,with black eyes and pointed chin.

Two interesting additions duringthe past week have been a smallLychee tree from south China anda Sacred Bo tree from India. TheLychee tree bears delicious fruitresembling a large clump of redraspberries, when full grown. TheBo tree is the sacred tree of Indiaunder which Buddha sat for threedays and nights, when he receivedhis "illumination".

The display of "Albert and Eliza-beth" azaleas is just now the mostcolorful spot in the open garden.

The Garden is open on week daysfrom 9 to 5 and on Sundays from9 to 6.

HANCOCK SAYS U. S.NEEDS LATIN-AMERICA

Mr. Ralph Hancock, recently re-turned from a journey by jeepacross Mexico and through theCentral American countries, and byplane around South America, pre-sented convincing facts to provethat our future depends on LatinAmerica.

He declared that four outstand-ing developments attract attentionin all twenty republics:

1. Industrialization. 2. Education.3. Anti-Democracy. 4. Uncle Sam'sInfluence.

Bach country has profited by thewar; the total wealth accumulatedin the twenty countries, since theoutbreak of the war amounts tomore than 14 billion dollars; theyare now spending1 this money in avast program of industrialization,and expansion of their foreigntrade. The tremendous market forour goods, in these lands, will en-able us to avoid another depres-sion.

In the new enthusiasm for educa-tion, Cuba, Costa Rica, Chile, Uru-guay and Brazil are in the lead;President Grau San Martin, of Cu-ba is the greatest champion ofpopular education; he believes thatthe future of democracy dependson education. Mr. Hancock agreesthat Peron, in Argentina, is a pow-erful threat to democracy; Naz-ism still lives in Argentina. Vargasis still the strong man of Brazil,although no longer president.

As to the influence of Uncle Sam,some U, S. salesmen resort to clev-er tricks in disposing of outmodedgoods, at enormous profit; suchconduct is called "Yankee ingenu-ity", by ;the Eatiri/Americans, andis not making 'Mends for us.

Mr. Hancock criticised sharplyour lack of a foreign policy; he be-lieves that we have a great futurewith Latin America, in spite ofour mistakes. We must not makeLatin America a dumping groundfor diplomats, the speaker declared.

Mr. Hancock is enthusiastic aboutthe future of tourism between ourcountries; great preparation is be-ing made for our visits; new hotelsare being built, modern motorroads constructed and eighty-fourdifferent airlines are competing forthe growing trade. We shall soonbe able to make a plane trip fromMiami to Panama for the price ofa bus ticket, Miami to Kansas City.

Many of the large cities are ex-tremely prosperous; there are tenthousand millionaires in MexicoCity; its population is now nearlytwo million; Sao Paulo is the most

WINTER PARK TOPICS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1947

rapidly growing city; the popula-tion now exceeds two million.

By exchange of students and im-proving our cultural impacts on therepublics to the south, we may lookforward to a great era of Inter-American cooperation and growingsolidarity.

COMMUNITY FUND NOTFULLY SUBSCRIBED

"Charity begins at home". Thatis the clear and simple answer tothe confusion some have expressedat the number of drives and ap-peals that have been current inWinter Park. The Winter ParkCommunity Fund is our own char-ity. That comes first. How illogicaland really fancifully far-fetched togive for any other cause, no matterhow deserving, if our own mostworthy charity, the sweet soundcore that makes Winter Park goodall the way through, fails to reachits goal.

The goal is $15,861.74. Theamount in hand when this issuewent to press was $11,677.58. Thereis a considerable gap there. Andthat gap will have to be filled, be-cause those very necessary agen-cies: must have their apportionedshare of that $15,861.74 in order todo their work.
