"Our main purpose is to assist disadvantaged children," stated the president of tlie oldest chapter. Mrs. Kathryn Jackson, who recently visited here with some 60 other American Continentals, is the president of the Philadelphia chapter. She and the other American women came here for the initia tion of the Bermudian chapter. Of the founding of the Continental Society Mrs. Jackson said, "The idea was first conceived by a group of women in New York. There were three groups that kept the society alive down through the years until other groups, including the Bermudian chapter were formed. These three chapters were in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C, and Baltimore." There are six groups now in the United States.

AIMS OF THE GROUP Today, Mrs. Jackson estimated, the Continental Society has an enrolment of about 100 to 110. "We have hopes of doing so eventually," Mrs. Jackson replied, when she was asked if the group plans to ex tend the society to all parts of the United States. But she was emphatic when she stated that there are strict rules by which new chapters are added to the society. No new chapter can be added unless all existing chapters agree.

The announcer got his yawning audience in radio-land on their feet and through the morning's toilet with a hum and a jump. "Wakey — Wakey" became the get up theme for the young and the old alike. It had a magic sound which took all the gmmble out of getting up. It was to be heard for many a mom. And awaited as a signal to begin the day "with love in your heart and a smile on your face". The creator of this programme, Mr. Mike him self, cavalier of tbe air and a character beloved by thousands, was Wilbur Smith.

He wanted to make something of his life and the theatre offered the answer in part at the time. At this point 1 got the impression that after such a long absence it was a source of chagrin to find the intolerable racial juncture still prevalent, thus prompting his departure. Questioned about his Bermudian status. Earl remarked that he is still very much a Bermudian. "At least I hope so," he added smiliqg. I commented on his accent which, by the way, has not changed despite the number of years he has Mr. and Mrs. Donald Jackson entertained their spent in England. His reply was almost indignant: house guests Mr. and Mrs. Earl Pree, also hosts to visitors and friends including a few Continentals. "Why should I talk like an Englishman? I Mrs. Donald Jackson in photo. am a Bermudian. It seems silly to change my way of speaking," he blurted. "Maybe after so many years in Britain one would automatically develop an accent," I suggested. "Nonsense!" was the emphatic reply. Reminiscing again, we recalled the day he visited the Central School in 1950. Suddenly he started laughing, almost upsetting his coffee. "I will never forget that day. There I was telling those kids about the Negro's role in the theatre." He felt that it was a rather disinteresting topic for school children." "But they were very patient and attentive," said the actor, still laughing. Seated — Lovey Wade, Leonard "Yock" Bryant, Aware that only a few of Earl's pictures are Phila. Pa., Nelda Reid.

"It is the cinema managers who decide on star billine:, in some cases, so that if an actor hails from a town where the film is released, he is usually civen top billine. The cinema makes money that way," he smiled. A keen tennis player, Earl resides in Richmond, Surrev, with his charming wife Audrey.
