Show Wednesday, Juno 23, 1976 Pego7 . By Clara Voyant The ball can take funny bounces in the game of life. This is going to be one of those weeks when it would be best to never leave the dugout. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan 19) Someone will offer you a penny for your thoughts. Get it in writing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You've engaged in backbiting to an unusual degree of late. Perhaps your new diet is a bit too stringent. PICES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Your breath makes other people's eyes water. Nothing less than industrial strength Listerine will help. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19) Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Everyone else doubts you. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20) Reject the job offer you'll receive this week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You create an immediate awareness in people. As soon as they see you they're aware of better places to be. ;.. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don't try resting on past laurels.

Ski Team lift being constructed at the Park City Resort. The towers, the first of an ' eventual 26 were installed Friday afternoon. The removal of trees from the lift path was finished three weeks ago. Mountain manager Phil Jones said he expects the new Yan lift to be ready for operation by mid-September, -noting "that" the"coftiplt!U(fti date is tied to the delivery of a gear box being imported from Austria. The gear box is due to arrive on September 10. At 6,100 feet in length, the Ski Team lift will be the longest on the mountain. It compares to the 5,800-foot Payday and Lost Prospector chairs and the 5,700-foot Prospector chair. Hie new chair will have a capacity of 1,150 skiers per . hour and will be able to operate at peak load under auxiliary power should a BRINGS KACRkPti FONDUE W conventional power , outage occur. All lifts except the gondola will have this capability by the start of the ski season, Jones reported. Jones . described lift designer Yan Kunczynski ( it's easy to see why he chose to use his first name rather than his last for the trademark) as "innovative" and said Yan lifts are tailored to the terrain. As an example, Jones said the Payday lift and the new chair will share a. common tower. . , , The helicopter which is one of the few certified to transport tran-sport heavy loads above 10,000 feet, will return in a month to complete the tower installation for the new Jupiter Bowl lift as well as the Ski Team lift. Jones praised local workers who were recently hired to dig by hand the holes which will receive the towers. He noted that due to terrain, the men have had to burrow into extremely hard ground with only the most basic of tools. , "They're doing a tremendous job under very adverse conditions," : Jones said. ' , - ADVERTISING IN RESULTS! BOX 738 PAR&CITY, UTAH 84060 Now Opart tuts, thru Sun . 6-10:30 delta Communication Legislation Over 130 legislators have sponsored or sponsored tbe Consumer,; Communications Com-munications Reforn Act of 1976 which was recently introduced in-troduced into Congress. The objective of the bill is to reaffirm the original intent , of Congress in regard to the Comminications Act of 1934, which calls . for universal telephone service, offered within the economic reach of all Americans. v -; According to Mountain Bell exchange manager E.H. Anderson the bill reflects an industry consensus that legislation 1 is needed to protect residential and small business telephone users from large scale price increases in-creases which impartial studies show will result from present policies of. the Federal Communications Commission. Senator Vance Hatrke (D-Ind), (D-Ind), who first introduced the bill in the Senate, said that the legislation is attracting a"broad, impressive base of support in the rural community, com-munity, in segements of organized labor, among local and state elected officials, and within the telephone industry." ; "Appropriate regulation of the . telecommunications common carrier is one of the most difficult and complex issues the Congress must address in the near" future," Hartke stated. Thg v nation's 1,600 Independent companies, the Bell System companies, the industry's labor unions Join with other proponents of tbe , legislation in the belief that recent decisions by the FCC encouraging "contrived competition" run counter to the intent of Congress and are jiot in the public interest, a As a result of FCC decisions since 1968, two types of competitors have developed: : Distributors and retailers which l sell ' or - lease telephones, special equipment equip-ment and PBX's to be connected con-nected to the telephone company network, , the so-called so-called .interconnection companies. -: Specialized common carriers which provide intercity in-tercity provate line services over selected routed which, because of rate structure characteristics, are more profitable than average for the telephone companies. ; The. new legislation ; now before Congress would reaffirm the intent of the !5a?f.- Comminications Act through the following provisions: Reaffirm the authority of the states to regulate terminal ter-minal and station equipment; Prescribe standards governing FCC licensing of specialized common carriers to provide intercity private line service thus assuring against wasteful duplication of services of the type , already provided by the telephone companies. Preclude denial, of competitive intercity private line rates on the basis they are too low if they are con-pensatory. con-pensatory. This would prevent establishment of FCC-protected "cartels" under rate umbrellas. Anderson stated the "federal regulators' contrived con-trived competition will drive up residential and small business rates as much as 60 percent unless Congress reaffirms tbe objectives of the Communications Act." This fact was documented by a study conducted for the Independent telephone companies, by Systems Applications, Inc., a prestigious San Rafael, Calif., telecommunications research firm. Bell System figures show that these rates could increase up to 75 percent. per-cent. Economically it would be to the telephone company's, advantage to provide service only to the areas that produce revenue sufficient to offset expenses. This is exactly what many contrived competitors com-petitors are doing. If the entire telephone industry followed suit, ' . many residential ' customers, especially those in rural areas and small towns would be unable to afford phone service. ;; "The telephone industry has been able, however, to keep residential rates low through its traditional principles of rate aberaging and value of service pricing." "Rate averaging has enabled residential users, especially those in small towns, to receive phone service at reasonable prices despite the higher cost of providing service to the phone company. Traditionally business firms have paid more for their phone service because it was worth more to them. The nearly universal telephone service, reaching 95 percent of the America homes, has created the value of service ,' to the business firm. Long distance service has also been a greater contribution to . the coverage of costs." MUSIC N(0fE ; , ByJayMeehan During the last few yean many works of history and historical novels, have been published; most of them emanating from the reflective climate generated by America's Bicentennial. These books, for the most part, chronicle the westward expansion and political evolution of this most deverse land, providing some very 'informative reading. But if a history buff would like ah education of the emotional aspects of our country's growth, a sort of history of its popular and community feelings, then a study of America's music and the social settings from which it arose would prove very interesting. The emmigrants arrive by sea and move westward by river with sea chanteys and French-Canadian paddling songs filling the air. , . - - ' Slave melodies syncopate the field work from the Carolinas to Texas. Ballads, love songs, and hoedowns echo through the valley s of the Smoke and Blue Ridge Mountains, to the southern uplands and into the hills of Arkansas and Oklahoma. It is there in the Ozarks that the Northern and Southern Musical . traditions swap tunes and end up married. . The cowpokes of Texas herd their "little doughies" through Colorado and into Montana, singing northern ballads with a southern drawl. Dirt and railroads; form a lattice-work throughout the south's backwoods to the growl and thunder of Negro work chants the axe songs, the hammer songs, and the railroad songs. These blend with the lonesome hollers of levee-camp muel skinners to create the blues, a form which was to uncoil its subtle, sensual melancholy first in the auditory nerves of all the states, then all the world., Them blues" sail on down the "big muddy", the Mississippi River, to New Orleans, where the Creoles mix up the musical gumbo of jazz then a dirty word, but now a symbol of musical freedom in the West. The Creoles keep cookin, adding Spanish pepper and French sauce and blue notes to the roudy blast of their reconstruction happy brass bands ; stirring up the already hot music of New Orleans and warming the weary heart of humanity. . Out of these settings would come performers, singing and pickin historians if you will, nonpolitical tamers 01 our country: King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory, Jelly Roll Morton, Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Lemon, Jefferson, Jef-ferson, Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, Carter Family, Woody Guthrie, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, Bill Monroe, Jimmy Driftwood, Gary Davis, John Lee Hooker, Howling Wolf, Roy Acuff, J.E.

They are strange bedfellows only within the context of com-partmentalization, com-partmentalization, not within the realm of musical emotion or American history. The fact that these people recorded their music insured that it would live on; the recorded work documenting history no less than the written word. From the Yankee soldiers to the pioneers to the lumberjacks Americans have left their impressions of their existence in song. Almost all of these tunes vere passed on through the oral tradition since there was limited reproductive audio technology until recently. By utilizing this pattern of continuity, these songs have always been subject to change, sometimes relating to social and psychological changes and those unconscious processes that are hard to pinpoint. By following the long term changes in American music it might be possible for people to acquire a closer, more personal and emotional feeling toward this country's last 200 years than if they relied totally on text bookish chronologies. Even Michner's "Centennial", as good as it was, would have been enhanced had it been a package. ; with a LP of period American Music. If anyone is interested in furthering their historical musical education, most University libraries have adequate facilities. Next week a look at historical Utah music. HAL TAYLOR ASSOCIATES ,0.
