~ Belle, contrary to general opin
ion, she said, was of aristocratic
birth, having been born at Mar
tinsburg, Va., in the valley of
Virginia. There are many legends
and stories concerning her early
life in Virginia which are told
in Siguard’s book.
For her activities as a courier
between Beauregard and Jackson,
Belle was captured and imprison
ed in “Olg Capitol” prison in
Washington on two occasions.
Before the close of the war she
was commissioned captain by the
Confederate Government.
Became An Actress
After the war, Belle became
an actress in England, and in
order to meet financial difficul
ties, wrote 5 book telling of her
experience. She later returned
to her native land and toured

’was erected by 5 comrade in Wis
consin' where she made her home '
in her later years.

Enthusiastic First-Night Audience
Saw “Time Of Your Life"” Tuesday;
Play To Run Tonight And Thursday
The University Theatre's pro=
duction of William Saroyan’s
“The Time of Your Life,” gave
an enthusiastic first-night audi
ence a really enjoyable evening
of entertainment last night at the
University of Georgia Fine Arts
Auditorium. Under the excellent
direction of Leighton M. Ballew,
head, Department of Drama,
“The Time of Your Life” brings
the University Theatre’s 1947-48
season to a very successful close.
A well.chosen and experienced‘
cast handled hilarious comedy
and deep-rooted philosophy with
equal success. Joe Cramer, Cin
cinnati, Ohio, as Joe, the water
front philosopher, gave an out
standing performance. Barbara
Holleran, Atlanta, as Kitty Du
val, dreamed her way through’
“The Time of Your Life” with,
. .
Univ. Of Georgia
“The tombstone type of cem
etery development is as anti
quated as the horse and. buggy,”
declared Dr. W. L. Halberstadt,
one of the nation’s leading au
thorities on cemetery planning
and management, at the seventh
annual Landscape Conference
held by the Landscape Architec~
ture Department of the Univer
sity Monday. Dr. Halberstadt
explained that a park-like treat
ment for cemeteries where no
above-ground markers are ems
ployed has become the most pop
ular and the most generally ac
cepted scheme for cemetery lay
nte in all sections of the United
States during the past, thirty,
Yeatls. |
}. He pointed out the steadily%
increasing demand for the serv-|
ices of people trained in land- |
scape desgin in planning these
areas where restful lawns, beau
tifully composed tree and shrub
groupings and perhaps one or
more lakes are featured. “All
the world loves a garden,” stated
the expert, “and the ‘gruesome
period’ of funeral and cemetery
practice is gone forever. Given
time, all communities will adopt
this treatment where no memor
ials are used above ground.”
‘This meeting, which assembled
all the leading landscape and
nursery people of Georgia with
visiting representatives from
Alabama and South Carolina,l
was held in the University
Chapel with Hubert B. Owens,
head, Landscape Architecture
Department, presiding. Dr, Alvin
B. Biscoe, Dean of ' Faculties,
welcomed the group. Donald Has
tings, of Atlanta, gave the re
sponse. |
I The first address of the day
was presented by Brooks E.
Wiggington, who spoke on “Or--‘
namental Plants for the Pied
mont South.” He was fonowedi
by C. P. Lindner, of Atlanta,
Chief Engineer U. S. Corps of‘
Engineers, who presented for
the first time to Georgia laymen
plans for the comprehensive de
velopment of Georgia’s rivers for
flood control, electric power,
soil erosion, transportation, and
recreation.
The group inspected the Foun
ders Memorial Garden and an
exhibition of landscape plans in
the gallery of the Landscape
Architecture building during the
noon hour. Charlie Morgan, of
Atlanta, Director of Georgia’s]
State Parks, explained the pro
gram which is ebing promotec
by this Department. He was foi
lowed by H. D. Purswell, of At
lanta, Assistant Director, State
Depastment of Entomology, who
reported the latest information
concerning various insect pest
infestations in the state and
their control, and the role of the
Entomology Department in Nurs
ery Inspeetion. Prof. Hubert B,]
Owens brought the series of lec-1
tures to a close ~with “qu’tici—‘
pation of Landscape Architects
and Nurserymen in the Commu
nity Flower Show.” ‘
The final hour of the confer
ence was devoted to a round
tabie discussion of the problems
relative to registration laws for
discouraging nursery stock ped
alers: promotion measures for
landscape and nursery interests
in general; labor problems affect
ing production of nursery stock;
and the need for more appropria=
tions to support the work of the

the same fine talent she display
ed as the dreamer in “Glass
Menagerie.” Bill Searcey, Sav

Morgan could envy. i
The artistic talents of Harold
Lefkoff, Atlanta; Clifford Col
lier, Vienna; and Byron Turner,
Department of Music; also high~
lighted the presentation. Lefkoff’s
original piano arrangements and
Collier’s original tap dancing
routines wete tops, and Byron
Warner’s plaintive harmonica
melody was an inspiring addition
to the script. :

and Christine Riley, Atlanta, as

speaking Ma; Jeanne Burrage,
Norris, Tenn. and Jay Gardner,
