D. A. R. Chapter Hears Report On School Work Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, laat Saturday was Mrs. Ralph W. Greenlaw, of West Englewood, state chairman of the Approved Schools committee. Mrs. Greenlaw gave a most interesting account of the mountain white people of the southeni states, who, Me stated, are almost pure Anglo-Saxon stock and very many of whom are direct descendants of Revolutionary soldiers who were given grants of l.nH in the southern mountains as pay for their services in the Revolution. She traced in detail a trip which toon her through the south to visit the schools which are on the list approved by the D-A.R. aa worthy of the help of its members, and all of which are attended by children from the mountains of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky

V

At Crossnore in North Carolina, she saw the new dining hall with dormitory above and a new recreation hall, both of which were built by the boys living there. The latter was one of the 1941 projects of the New Jersey Society, $400 being donated toward it. It has been named GoodfeUow Hail in honor of the State Regent, Mrs. Raymond C. Goodfellow, of South Orange. An extra $116 has been paid toward the furnishings. In northern Alabama, she visited the Kate Duncan t Smith School on the top of Gunter mountain in Grant, a day school which is also entirely supported, by the D.A.R. There she saw the new stone stops on Becker Hall, provided by the New Jersey Society as its second 1941 project at a cost of $500. This hall is named for Mrs. William A. Becker, of Summit, an ex-regent of the New Jersey Society and an ex-president general of the National Society. Approved colleges visited her trip were Maryville in M vUle, Tennessee, Lincoln Memorial University at Harrogate, Tenn. and Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. Maryville gives an A.B. degree and has a fine campus with dignified old buildings. Lincoln hat only a few buildings and features agriculture and domestic science as its main coursOther approved schools in that part of the country are Carr Creek Community Center, Pine Mountain Settlement School and Hindman Settlement school, all in Kentucky. Mrs. Greenlaw commended Cape May Patriots Chapter for the work done for the schools, especially for the $100 scholarship raised each year for Tamassee in memory of Miss Mabel Clay, a former Chapter and State Regent. She stressed the sending of sec-ond-hand clothing to Crossnore and Tamassee. At the former, all clothing suitable for children is used for the students and secondhand window curtains, linens and bedspreads are most welcome. Other clothing is bartered in • their store with the people from the mountains in exchange for vegetables which they use to feed their pupils. Clothing too worn to be used as garments is used in the weaving department. At Tamassee the pupils wear uniforms but the clotning is sold or bar-

tered.

At the short business meeting presided over by the. Regent, Mrs. Palmer M. Way, it was voted to dispense with the annual luncheon usnally held in- June because of the prevailing conditions in the

.. memorial service for Mrs. Joseph D. Hoffman, of Wildwood Crest, who passed away March 25 in the Shore Memorial Hose tal was conducted by Mrs. dph Stevens in the absence of Hie chaplain, Miss Lila Gandy.

There will be a food sale in connection with the

During hie year* in Wildwood Crest Mr. Bedell has 1 interested himself in dramatics there and has been associated with various groups that have held forth from time to time.

Mr. Bedell was bom in Philadelphia and for a time attended the University of Pennsylvania. Leaving there when bitten deeply by the theatrical bug, went to New York and joined the B. F.

Mr. Bedell had been some twelve years away from the professional stage when T. C. Upham, director of the Cape Theatre, persuaded him to return last summer for a role in "Out of the Frying Pan,” which called for two important character actors, the other one being John Lynds. All around town this winter people have been asking, “Is that good actor from Wildwood Crest going to be here again?” And the answer is — “We expect he will be". T. C.
