SUGAR COMPANY WILL ELIMINATE RIVER POLLUTION (CONTINUED FROM FACE ONE! considered, according to Mr Parks. The Holland-St. Louis Sugar company is intensely inteiested in elimination of river pollution, Mr. Durfee said. He pointed cut that seven years ago the company spent $150,000 for a system that was supposed to meet its needs in eliminating the pollution. bu» that apparently does not meet the need he said. “We did that after the state conservati n department had envestigated and we acted on the plans of Chicago engineers,” the company's spokesman said. “Now before we spend another large sum we want to be sure our move is the correct one. Mr. Durfee pointed out that the watei that is dumped into the river contains a sugar siTbstance and this eats the oxygen in the river water. As the result the fish in the river, which require oxygen for life, are suffocated to; want of it. He pointed out that cue sack of granulated sugai dumped into the river would alone cause pollution by the oxidation cf the sugar. The pollution elimination system now installed was built on the basis of a huger flow of St. Maiys river, Because the liver is partly diverted into the Wabash river by a dam in Ohio the flow is not great enough to supply surplus oxygen after the oxidation caused by sugar watei takes place, the chemist said. PLAYERS WEICAST IN FLAY AT MAJESTIC “ ‘Pollyanna’ ranks as the best offering of the Wright Players at the Majestic theatre here this season. It has many laughs, an occasional tear and a world of happiness, writes 11. L. Cecil, the dramatic critic of the Fort 'Wayne News Sentinal. " ‘Pollyanna’ is aft ;r the style of ‘Smilin' Tb.ru’ and some of the other stag? successes cf yesteryears, in which an appeal is made to the tear ducts as well as»the hmnerous dtreak in human nature. It is offering in four acts with two settings and John McKee director of the company, has providi d excellent settings, especially that for the last three acts. “ ‘Pollyanna’ should break weekly records at the Majestic this week. It merits support both from the standpoint of the play and of the players.” With equal enthusiasm Jane Rothert cf the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette has written: —“Playing the glaj game through four innings, the Wright Players carried the grand stands with them as they presented the glad play, ‘Pollyanna’, at the Majestic theatre Sunday night. Through tears and laughtor, the audience responded to the sure-fire pathos of a little gill who wasn't wanted, and a rich old man in a castle of shattered dreams.” Next weeks attraction opening Sunday night, Nov. 20th will be “The Poor Nut”. Human ingenuity cannot devise anything funnier than “The Poor Nut” the sensational comedy hit which ran for 300 nights in New York, and which will be presented by the Wright Players at the Majestic Theatre for one week commencing Sunday, November 20th. “The Poor Nut” is best described as a rollicking comedy of college lif ■, hut that doesn’t tell the half of it. In reality, it is the first college play to break away from the time-honored football game to secure dramatic and laughing effects. For their theme Authors J. C. Nugent and Elliott Nugent have woven a thrilling climax around the winning of a relay race by the college track team.
