Cast For New Civic Theater . Play Announced

With the announcement of the cast, rehearsals have entered their final weeks for Nappanee Civic Theater’s production of the tense courtroom drama “Night of January 16th,” reports Maynard Schrock, who is directing the show. When the curtain opens and Judge Heath, as played by Cecil Stalnaker, raps for order, the murder trial of Karen Andre will t>e under way. While strictly speaking this is a play without a heroine, Shrock explains, the defendent in the case, and a leading feminine role, is Karen Andre, played by Peg Stillson. Prosecuting the case will be District Attorney Flint, played by Dave Stalnaker; while defending Karen Andre will be Defense Attorney Stevens, played by Walter McDonald. The other important roles in the drama—witnesses and courtroom attendants—are played by Betty Holderman, Fred Speicher, Bob Ruff, D. D. Hossler, Cleo Hartman, Bob McAndrew, Phil Lehman, Lois Coppes, Karen Kindig, Don John Phillips. Kay McDonald, Chuck McFall, Molly Jo duller and Wave Cleveland. 2 Whether Karen Andre is “guil,vty” or “not guilty” depends upon the verdict of the Jury, 12 people from the audience to serve. These twelve people will .not be “planted,” states Shrock, but will be chosen by lot from those who have indicated they would serve, by leaving their at the box office the nights of the play. Jurors will be on a professional basis, he adds, for they will be paid for services rendered. All the action takes place in the courtroom of Superior Court of New York, and is based in part on the so-called Kreuger myth. When the suicide of Ivar Kreuger, Swedish match king and financial juggler, revealed the comf‘ plicated failure of his international financial interests, it was rumored he had only faked his death, and had in fact departed for South America, to live incognito and in luxury on a fortune he’d salted away there. “Night of January’ 16th” is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, March 1 and 2, at West Side ? i*ark Pavilion.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Dear Mr. Editor, Having finished my 6 month’s stay in Nappanee, I should like to thank you and all the inhabitants of Nappanee, who showed so much friendliness and kindness to me. If my next assignment, which will be, by the way, in Nebraska at a Dairy farm, turns out as well as my Nappanee time, I certainly will look back on % memorable experience which I shall remember all my life. It would be a long list to mention all the people who have helped me in some way. But I will mention my sponsor, Mr. Rose, who made it possible for me to stay half a year at the State Bank of Nappanee, a fact which will be certainly of help to me, when I enter Dutch banking business. Also I like to thank the Kuhns family, for letting me live with them. One of the things I have noticed in Nappanee is the close contact of people with each other, a fact that might be caused by the existence of large families. Everybody seems related to each other. Another thing that kinda struck me is the fact that there are so many social clubs. I believe there are even more clubs here than there are in my home-town (20,000 inhabitants). I also believe that the people in the U. S. A. are much interested in city affairs, especially as far as smaller communities are concerned. The reason may be that running a smaller city depends not only on a little group, but many people participate actively in this. A mayor, e. g. in Holland is not elected by the people’s vote, but is appointed by the Queen. My impression of American people is that they are hard working and very proud of their country. Keep it that way. Sincerely Yours, Hendrik Willem Schreuder

February, 1962 Fellow Citizen; As the father of five children, I have a deep concern about the kind of world in which they and their children will live. Although I abhor Khrushchev’s arrogant assertion that they will live under Communism, I recognize that this is more than an idle threat. Khrushchev is voicing the determined objective of a dedicated Communist. I am also convinced that unless America awakens to the real nature of the Communist menace this dire prediction could become a reality. Both political parties readily agree that we should oppose the spread of international communism. Defining the nature of this threat and determining the policies to meet it are other matters. I do not believe that America can buy the freedom of the world. Squandering millions of our dollars on corrupt governments and governments that are themselves either Communistic or friendly to Communism provides no answer. We do not aid our cause by adopting federal spending policies which weaken our own economy and invite inflation. Neither do we awaken the spirit of freedom in Americans by constantly advancing the control of Washington over our lives and property. I believe we must recognize Communism as the mortal enemy of the United States and the free world, and we should take consistent action against it by: (a) Accomplishing the overthrow of Castro and Communism in Cuba. (b) Refusing to back down on vital issues in Berlin, Laos, Viet Nam and other critical areas where free people are under attack. (c) Awakening in Americans the need to attack the conditions of disease, poverty and despair, which make people the easy prey of Communistic doctrines; and encouraging massive support for church and charitable organizations that giye direct and immediate aid where really needed.

At the same time we should strengthen our own economy and stimulate faith in our American heritage by: (a) Realistically balancing our federal budget. (b) Defeating schemes by which Washington takes over functions and responsibilities that belong here at home. (c) Initiating a long overdue overhaul of our antiquated tax structure, one which would provide incentives for honesty, thrift, and economic growth. A few weeks ago, Mrs. Ainlay and I saw the inroads made by Communists as we traveled in Latin America. We returned more determined than ever to help in the work to preserve our Republic. Asa candidate for Congress from this District, I will pursue this course with vigor and determination. You’ll be hearing from me in the future as to my stand on other issues. At the same time, I will be inviting our priesenl Congressman to state his position, and I will ask him to join me in discussing the important issues in public debate. Please help me in this cause. Discuss this letter with your family and friends. Write to me and tell me your views and urge others to do the same. Sincerely yours, Charles W. Ainlay

Artley, R. 3, and Dick Clouse, son of the Thulo Clouses, 507 N. Elm, recently completed recruit training at the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, 111. The end of the nine week training period was highlighted with a full dress parade and review before military officials and civilian dignitaries. Artley’s graduation was January 19 and Clouses’ Feb. 2. The Clouse family drove to Great Lakes, encountering the hazardous driving conditions of the freezing rain on their way home. They have already been notified that Dick will go to Bethesda for special volunteer assignment, and that it will be impossible for his family to contact him for a month. He will apparently be testing fall-out shelter conditions during this time. Nowdays, an ocean is a large body of water completely surrounded by trouble. A man is incomplete until he marries —then, he’s finished.
