Crawford (Our Own Correspondent) “An Old Fashioned Mother” will be staged by the Crawford Young People’s Society at the Crawford church on Friday, March 22. “An Old Fashion ed Mother” is a three act play running about 2% hours. The acts are sum med up as follows: First Act, The Good Samaritan, Second Act—A Mo ther’s Love; Third Act—The Prodigal Son. A dear old mother’s love for her wayward son permeates the whole play. The story is lightened by Jerry Gosling’s “jest’ what man says” and Lowizy Loving Custard’s comical love making. The old fashioned church choir render musical numbers. All who admire the unselfish devo tion of a mother for her children will enjoy this play.
