RE-DEDICATION OF
ST. MARGARET MARY
CATHOLIC CHURCH
The re-dedication of St. Margaret Mary Catholic phurch last
Sunday was an occasion of great
interest not only to the congregation but to the whole community.

Augustine, celebrated the Mass,
assisted by the Rt. Rev. Abbot
Francis, Lord Abbot of St. Leo's
Abbey; the Rev. Father Daniel

of the Chancery Office, St. Augustine, and the Rev. Father
John Fitzpatrick, St, James

hew edifice which rose from the
ashes of the destroyed church.
H. W. Barnum, a resident of
Winter Park for 30 years and
a pioneer member of St. Margaret
Mary, was the master of ceremonies. He told of coming to Winter Park in 1917 when there were
two Catholics in the town and
how now the rolls of the church
showed 703.
Praises were heaped on Father
Hegarty by Winter Park's Mayor
B, R. Coleman, George Phillips,

open her series of six successive
Tuesday afternoons next Tuesday.1
January 18th, with "Hamlet.'
Mrs. Bodkin says, "I will treat
the whole play from the human
and dramatic aspects, rather than
the academic—and also, I shall
endeavor to emphasize some of
the scenes and speeches which
have, of neccessity, been left out,
in the movie version." •
These delightful occasions will
be held in the Lounge of the Virginia Inn from 3:00 to 4:00 o'clock,
followed by an informal tea for
members of the group. All those
wishing to become a member for
the entire six lectures should have
their applications in by Monday

NOTED FLUTIST TO PLAY AT FESTIVAL
One of the outstanding features of the annual Bach Festival of Winter Park is the
engagement of a group of distinguished instrumental soloists from New York. Foremost among the.visiting artists for the Festival to be held on March 3rd and 4th next is
Frederick Wilkins, who is considered without a peer as a flutist, and in addition is a
masterly interpreter of Bach's music. The
characteristic soft, mellow beauty of the instrument and its refreshing brilliance are effectively realized in Mr. Wilkins' playing.
Few composers were more sensitive to the
various tone colors of orchestral instruments
than Bach, and the artistic success of many
of his most affecting passages depends upon
the technical skill and understanding of the Frederick Wilkins
players. It is with this belief that such a
player as Frederick Wilkins has
been engaged for the Winter Park under the direction of Robert

OLIVER K. EATON
TELLS OF SOUTH AFRICA
Oliver K. Eaton, Esq., wellknown resident and president of
the University Club, was the
speaker in the second of the Com-'
munity Lecture series last Monday evening, He presented tellingly and graphically the historical development of the Union of
South Africa, the conflict of
racial strains and ambitions in the
country, and the amazing growth
and wealth of the country.
As with the native Indian population in the United States of
America, Portuguese, Spanish,
Dutch, English invaders successively had to face the native
Bantu and Zulu peoples, subject
them into servitude, use their
energies in mines—diamond and
gold, agriculture, trades and
crafts, and to superimpose upon
them the white man's ideas of law
and order.
Now still out-numbered by the
same dark peoples, the problem
of the Union of South Africa is
the housing and care of those
same "natives," with their continuing superstitions and ritualistic practices. There are three
non-white persons to every white
in the country as a whole, though
the distribution varies in the
large centers of Johannesberg,
Durban, and Port Elizabeth.
With his special interests of
social welfare and legal setup Mr.
Eaton naturally saw sides of
South African life which the more
casual tourist would overlook.
The influence of great personalities, like Cecil Rhodes and General Smuts, and Oom Paul Kruger
were also stressed by Mr. Eaton.
And the speaker ended his masterly exposition with a stirring
tribute, in Kipling's words, to
Cecil Rhodes, "whose soul was her
soul," whose dream unseen by
him, but a reality now, was the
Union of South Africa.

IN MEMORY OF LATE
MISS GRACE O. EDWARDS
A bronze plaque, in memory of
the late Miss Grace O. Edwards,

their affection and regard for one
who had organized the Garden

Mr. Stowe was at his best in
the question period, answering
and developing his ideas with
vigor and assurance. As to China
he said there is nothing that can
be done now to stop the Communists but that when the Reds
once start to running China they
will find far more substantial opposition than Chiang Kai Shek's
armies; that China's great defense is a "wall of feathers" by
which the Chinese apparently always agree to what they are told
to do but never do it.
Mr. Stowe paid high tribute to
Dorothy Lockhart for the presentation of such a series of meetings
as the Town Hall in which all

the public.

Dr. Saute is an active proponent and worker in the United

The movement has made great

A SHELL USED FOR
WINDOW GLASS
A very unusual shell is on special exhibit this week at the BealMaltbie Shell Museum, Rollins
College.
It is a bivlave shell, which because of its large size, almost perfectly flat form, extreme thinness,
and its translueency has been and
still is used for window glass in
the Philippines and China. Natives cut this thin shell into
squares and fit them together to
make window panes. Even when
regular glass is available, the people prefer to use this shell, because it does not shatter as glass
does. This odd shell can be separated into thin sheets like the
mineral mica.
Also on exhibit is a lovely
lampshade made from the window
glass-shells. This was constructed
