ROUND THE A OWN'inEJ by B Davis Evans Dear Reader: Im sure many of you readers out there have gone through the throes of being responsible for a show, program or maybe even a single number on a program and everything has gone wrong for you.. Please dont feel bad; join the club. Recently my little girl and her friend were to dance on a Middle School program. She made us aware of her assignment many weeks in advance. They rehearsed their routine day after day and finally the date of the program came to pass. I approached her at the end of the day with How went the battle, sweetheart? Oh Daddy, she answered, Ive never been so embarrassed in all my life. Jolene and I walked out on the stage and stood waiting for the music to start, but the record player wouldnt work, so they pulled the curtain while they got another player. The audience clapped. We stood out there again; the curtain opened but someone began playing the wrong side of the record; the curtain closed; the audience clapped. They turned the record over and we stood out there again, the curtain opened and that time they started the music in the wrong place. By the time we got to dancing, neither Jolene nor I even wanted to dance, but did anyway. Some of the kids said we danced better when the music wasnt playing. Poor Mr. Bills was sweating and shaking. I felt so sorry for him. As she relived her sad experience, her eyes filled with tears and I knew exactly how she felt as my mind slipped back to the many experiences of my own in which I wept, sweat, pulled my hair, swore and died a little, just because such minor details threatened the success of a program or a play. I was directing an original one-aplay. A hi-- fi on stage was playing Im In The Mood for Love. It was supposed to give atmosphere to the play as it was a story of spring love. The words of the song are as follows: Im in the mood for love simply because your near me, funny but when your near me etc. All went well, that is until the feller on the record started repeating over and over again funny but, funny but, funny but. I realized the record was nicked but the leading man didnt. On and on it went. The audience was enjoying itself, but I died a little as I pulled the extention cord from the socket. Ladies In Retirement is a play that calls for the playing of an old fashioned organ by a boy dressed as a woman. He is endeavoring to solve the mystery of his aunts death. Well, this fellow I cast in the part couldnt play an organ solplaceda tape recorder back of the scenery so when he hit the dead keys, I would cut in the recorder and the audience would think he was playing the instrument. He hit the keys all right but when I turned on the tape nothing came out....Someone had messed with the recorder and that music was lost somewhere in that 200 feet of tape. I tried in vain to find the right spot while the poor kid on stage pretended to fix the organ. How much time lapsed is known but to God, but a reliable stage hand came to my aid and fortunately found the needed spot. never sounded so good. ct , In the play You Cant Take It With You the action calls for a character to set off fire crackers in a fry pan. On the first performance the crackers refused to explode when he touched a match to the fuse. He covered up the incident by saying: It must have been a dud. On the second night he wasnt going to have the same problem so he put three cherry bombs in the pan. Cherry bombs were new to me at the time; I didnt know their potential. The scene arrived and he set off the bombs. Apparently they all exploded at the same time.. Eh Gads! what a noise! The building finally stopped rocking and there stood that character with just a little bit more than the handle of that cast iron fry pan in his hand. I still shudder when I I would like to share with your readers something I do that really stretches my clothing budget. This is the time of year that Mothers are anxious for school to let out because their boys school clothes, pants especially, are worn and small. There is no sense buying new pants this close to schools end. Boys pants usually still fit through the waist and the crotch but are worn in the seat and knees and are short in the legs. I cut the pant legs off above the knees and hem them. I use the good material below the knees to patch the seat. This way my boys have good play shorts that usually last until time to buy new clothes for school in the fall. Shirly. Dear Shirly, Thanks for the advice. We are always looking for ways to save a few hard earned dollars. Rosalind. Dear Rosalind, I would like an. opinion on the age old problem of which is best, to give a child an allowance or just give him money when he needs it. B.P. Dear B.P. Most people say it is necessary for a child to have an allowance in order for him to learn how to handle money. In discussing this with a number of people I have come to the conclusion that it depends upon the child. An allowance only teaches some children waste and extravagance. They treat friends, buy trinkets, and literally throw their money away. Perhaps we could say when their money is gone let them do without. But we all know there are occasions that arise where we will have to give them extra money. Its almost like rewarding them for their wastefulness. Still another child will be wise in his spending and frugal in his saving. He will always have money when it is needed. So to one child an allowance is the best way of giving money, but for another it might be best to wait till he is older before giving him this responsability. Rosalind. are holding an Open House on the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary Sunday, May 25, 1969 from to 4 p.m. at their home, 307 South 6th East in Payson.

La-V- M think of the flying pieces of shrdpnel that flew over the stage that night and I marvel that no one was injured. Did you ever have a play all ready for presentation and a doctor pulls one of your leads out of the cast and puts him to bed for 20 days? On one occasion I memorized 85 lines and played the part of Huck Finn in the play Tom Sawyer, I had a 24 hour notice. Naturally I had to keep my hat on all the time because I was bald then too. (12 year old boys are seldom bald headed). I shall only relate a few of my experiences because if I continue, Ill have you all bawling. Well, Good Night Mr. Bills... I hope you have recovered from the misery of your program; by the time youve put on as many as I, you will have run 1000 miles looking for incidentals; you will have sweat a hundred gallon and you will look as battered as I do.

You never know whether to take off your winter underwear or not, do you? I sure hope that the warm weather soon comes around to stay, but I gue:s, when it finally does, it will be so hot that we will wish for cool days again. It doesnt seem that we can ever strike a happy medium. As I took my winter coat out of storage n again, I couldnt help but think of the Pay-soCold Storage and Locker Plant. It is owned and operated by your good friend and mine, Mr. Blanchard Dixon and his son, Dennis. His establishment is one of the oldest and most reliable in the country. I believe it. pays to have them process your meat, not only because of his promptness in filling' your order, but also, because of his fine repuataion. You can rest assured that he will do the most conscientious job he can, in order to completely satisfy you. I know that it has been a great help to many people to call him, have him pick up their animal and take it for processing. It beats the old "Do it Yourself method of slaughtering all to smitherines. His slaughtering house, by the way, is located in the area at the mouth of Payson canyon. It is always kept in first class condition, and tothebe.st of my knowledge, has never constituted a health hazard. Blanchard has a habit of smiling that is just wonderful. I have know him for years and have yet to see him frown or criticize anyone This should mean a lot to people, especially on Blahs Monday whenjhings havent gone too well this past weekend. His friendliness is very infectious, and Im sure you will be a better person by just dealing with him. Some of his goodness will surely rub off on you. I was impressed by Blanchard, when I contacted him for information to print in this column. I told him that I would like to write about him and his business, and do you know what he told me? He said that he was written about aweekbefore, (This was a fact that I wasnt aware of) and that he felt that I should give some other business a boost. This is typical of him, and so, I respected his wish, but today, I wanted to do a column about him, The Payson Cold Storage and Locker is located on First South and Main Street and is open weekdays from 9 to 6, but is closed on Wednesday afternoon.

The keys are placed on a board in the main office and are always there when you wish to secure products from your own individual locker. I have never heard of anyone else gaining possession to any locker other than his own.
