Local dealers, canvassed by The Journal-News this morning, gave complete assurance that there would be no shortage In the supply of the principal ediblo for the groaning board. Along with the assurance of supply, there is the further assurance that prices will be lower than in 1926. Today the prico per pound is five cents lower than It was a year ago. Tompkins County will not supply a very great part of the Ithaca market, although one or two poultry dealers make a specialty of the Thanksgiving Day bird. An unusual experiment was attempted by the directing staff and cast of "The Servant in the House," the Charles Rann Kennedy play, presented by faculty members In the Williams School of Expression and Dramatic Art in the Little Theater last Friday and Saturday.

In order to place the cast in the proper mood for the play, which introduces the theme of religion and the love of God as a purifying force in a household torn apart by selfishness and other base human emotions, the dressing rooms and stage entrances were lighted only with candles- Pictures of a religious nature were hung upon the walls, and the players spent several minutes in silent meditation before going on the stage to play their roles. Ithaca's 7th annual Community Chest campaign will officially close with a final dinner to be held at the Ithaca Hotel at 6:30 o'clock tonight.

Frank Tobey, over the radio from Station WLCI in the Lutheran Church at Ithaca, where the sermon was broadcast. A special receiving set in the Danby Church enabled the members of that church to hear their pastor although he was several miles away in another church. Rev. Mr. Tobey spoke of the history of his church, which he has served for more than 30 years.

He outlined for the congregation in the Lutheran Church and for his radio the history of the parish, first formed aa a Presbyterian society, only to change in 1887 to the Congregational faith. Ilia Church to Remain The minister told his hearers that his church would not go into the discard, the fate met by bo many small country parishes in the past few years. Instead, he said, "we are going to renovate our church, give it a fresh coat of paint and redecorate it to make it as fine an appearing church as there is the country. Rev. Mr.

Tobey came to his charge at Danby in 1894. He was ordained in 1888. He has served at Danby continuously since 1894. Dr. William M.

Horn, pastor of the Lutheran Church here, who invited Rev. Tobey to preach, and who arranged the radio hook-up through the church station, pointed out the advantage of radio. "Suppose," he eaid, "that a country pastor is taken ill on a Saturday night and is unable to get a supply pastor. Then, by arranging with the radio station, services could be held in his church oy radio. Another possibility is that of doing w.ork among the many country parishes that have no ministers.

By the use of trained laymen during the week and the radio services on Sunday, a congregation could be developed." Rev.

Sherman Mclntyre, 35, an ironworker residing at 806 South State Street, Syracuse, and a former resident of Ithaca, Is in a critical condition at the Hospital of the Good Shepherd at Syracuse after drinking poison last night. According to reports received here today, the man was found wandering along South Franklin Street by friends who told him that he 'better get in a taxi and go home." He is said to have replied that he "didn't care if he never got He was taken to his rooming house by his friends, however, and after reaching there he suddenly left them, and hurried into the kitchen. They followed, it was reported, but arrived too late.

Mclntyre was raising a bottle containing poison to his lips as they crossed the threshold. They leaped forward, but he drank the contents of the bottle and collapsed as his friends snatched it from him. The man was taken, unconscious, to the Hospital of the Good Shepherd. He had not recovered consciousness today. Syracuse police were summoned to investigate the case and, questioning those concerned, learned that Mclntyre had intended sending $30 to his wife In Ithaca but had neglected to do so.

They thought perhaps that matter preyed on his mind and In a fit of remorse, he drank the poison. Mclntyre is said to have a wife and a 6-year-old daughter living in this city, but the local address was unobtainable today, no Sherman Mclntyre being listed in the Ithaca directory. C. Wick and E. E.

In a final appeal to the workers, President Harry G.

Stutz begged them to go out to "tackle the last hurdle" and bring in the last needed to meet, and ex- ceed, the quota.
