Show J GIVING OUR WORLD nee "Take care not to begin anything any-thing of which you may repent", Pubilius Syrus, quoted in the Orphan Or-phan Annie comic. Brighton There are times in our lives when we find ourselves involved in something some-thing we wish we hadn't started. This feeling comes most forcibly upon us at the moment when things are just getting under way; when it is too late to change our minds; after the time of decision is past; when we realize that , in effect, we have passed the point of no return and there is no alternative alterna-tive but to go through with it. Such a moment, for me, occurred a week ago Saturday, up at Brighton, Brigh-ton, as I found myself in, a swinging swing-ing ski-lift seat being swept off the platform outward ad upward. "Look over your left shoulder and grab the hand hold", the attendant had said, and I had. It all happened rather quickly. I was in the seat swinging gently, being carried away aw-ay by the course of events. There was nothing between me and eternity etern-ity but an overhead cable. With the cable going up and the terrain dropping away below, I felt alarmingly alarm-ingly like the first man to go off into space. My next impression was that it was cold. With what looked like half a mile to go. I was freezing to death at the very start. I was wearing my leather jacket and a cap with ear flaps, but they weren't enough. I held my camera In my bare hands, and wondered if they'd get too cold to handle myself on them if I had. I was going up with the idea of taking pictures, not skiing. I looked up at the overhead cable, and hoped it would hold. The sky-hook supporting my seat was fastened to it in some manner, and I hoped that it would prove adequate, ade-quate, too. I also hoped the cable would not jump the track and come off one of the pulley wheels. It didn't. There was a slight jolt every time my sky-hook went over one of the wheels, out not enough to throw me out. After surmounting the first summit, sum-mit, the lift took off on a really steep rise. I took some pictures, and watched the skiers gliding down the slopes. I almost wished I were a skier, so I wouldn't have to go back down on that lift. They moved so gracefully, leaning this way or that, curving with the course, as they went down that mountain at express-train speed. I managed to stumble out of my seat on the upper platform. Skiers coming up just kind of slid off and started down, only to return and do It all over again once they got to the bottom. I just dodged out of their way. The attendant at the top could see I was a dope, and I looked cold, so he invited me into the building which gave him protection pro-tection from the weather. This was about four by six, and it contained a telephone and a small butane heater. The heater didn't give olf much heat, but every little hit was welcome. I took some pictures of Mt. Millicent, and then after while said, "Well, I might as well face It", and we went outside and I stood ready for the seat to come along and scoop me up. I looked over my left shoulder again, and grabbed a hold. He said, "Are you in?", and I said"Yes". It's a good 3 f- l f : ' A:' 'X.. V o '. Noklt MoJtl MN-J cut, Vh, 7. Vh I ft. oi rtquirW.

By Dick Morrison thing I was, because by that time I was already out over the void. I noticed that the front rail and foot rest were still sticking straight out, so I swung them back around In front of me. They don't offer much protection, however, not fastened. The best thing to do in one of those seats is to not slip out. The scenery is really beautiful a; seen from a ski lift, and the lift makes an ideal way to view it ii you are not the nervous type. The long trip down was scenic, frightening, frighten-ing, and cold. We went over to the Mt. Majestic ski lift, where there is a lodge and a restaurant. This lift is not as lon as the other one, but it is verj popular. Beside these, there are a couple of rope lifts, on which people peo-ple go up the mountaain on skis just by grabbing a moving rope and hanging on. The ski resorts, Alta (which was inaccessible due to a closed road that day), and Brighton, are verj popular recreation spots. I was surprised sur-prised the number of people enjoying enjoy-ing the sport. Most, I imagine, were amateurs. The areas are maintained maintain-ed by the U. S. Forest service; with the ski-lifts, restaurants, etc., operated op-erated by private parties holding concessions. The cost is not excessive. exces-sive. Supplies, including skis, are available for rent. One can have a lot of fun in a frigid way for $10.00. I was told the Millicenl lift was operated in the summei for sight seers. The area offers a fine lot of recreation if you are not already a winter sports addict, and want something different. South Pacific We myself, Dorothy, Pamela, Steven, and Dorothy's friend, Miss Lurrine Burgess were out for i bang-up weekend, so after returning return-ing to Salt Lake City from Brighton, we decided to go to a show. None of us had seen South Pacific, and it looked like the best show in town, so we decided on It. South Pacific is a lavish movie production. It is the sort of show that makes it clear that Hollywood is still tops in entertainment. The movie industry has its ups and downs, its technological revolutions, and its free competition from television, tel-evision, but still, when it comes to the ability to put on a show that is a show, Hollywood can do it as nobody else can. South Pacific has been running at the Villa Theatre, out on Highland Drive, for eight month. Many people peo-ple have seen, it more than once. It is an entertainment experience. The Villa is one of the show places of Salt Lake; with the only facilities between Denver and the coast for using the Todd-AO process, pro-cess, it specializes in big productions produc-tions and long runs. Todd-AO might be described as a super-dooper process fgr producing pro-ducing wide-screen sound and color co-lor movie. The film is 70 mm, in proportion. It provides "one hundred hun-dred twenty-eight degrees of clear vision" on the wide screen. Six sound tracks are used to provide stereophonic sound, with speakers appropriately placed throughout the theatre. Instead of the usual newsreel and comedy, they ran a short describing describ-ing the film process. This was a honey started out with the Todd AO camera riding the front of a roller coaster; followed up with I t" dealer, or icrile direct to- Turner -v. - h y winter scenes from an airplane; followed skiers on a sled taking us for the moment back to Brightonand Brigh-tonand ended with a motorcycle policeman chase through San Francisco. Fran-cisco. This last was so realistic It ended only when a truck pulled in front of us from a side street and our camera collided with it in a grand smash which blacked out I the picture and left only noise on the sound system. There was only one disruption during the evening. After the intermission, the stage curtain got stuck half way up, and they had to shut down until that difficulty was overcome. The show, Souh Pacific, is pretty veil known, through reviews of the Vew York stage production, and records re-cords of the music. It is a wartime story with settings In the South Sea Islands, peopled by American service men and women, and others. The Todd-AO production took full advantage of the scenic possibilities, possibili-ties, as well as the romantic ones. The photography is supefb, in wonderful won-derful natural color, plus color transposed and color superimposed m color. Filters of yellow, blue, jreen, purple, etc., are used to create color moods to match the musical and romantic moods of the picture. Quoting the souvenir book: "When Lt. Cable leaves the louse of the native girl, Liat, he's talking on clouds in a purple haze. 3o Leon (Leon Shamroy, color su-ervisor) su-ervisor) puts a magenta filter on he lens to symbolize his emotions. ?or Some Enchanted Evening, he uses a deep golden yellow, with-Jrawing with-Jrawing it when Nellie snaps out of her golden daze on the line, Your Jeep is waiting'." So that's South Pacific. Wide-range Wide-range picture vistas, stereophon.c ?ound, new color techniques, mus-c mus-c by Rodgers & Hammerstein, and an appealing story. It's one of the half-dozen movies I'll remember as !ong as I live, like the King of Kings, when Grauman's Chinese was new, the show at the Radio City Music Hall; Seventh Heaven, and a few others. The Hi-Fi Show It was our good luck that a lot was going on in Salt Lake City that week. Sunday evening, some , 250 "ZZ 04'; iVrl 7C IiTT 1 l g$fyOr ?MstMfe -u - 1 - of us went down to the Newhouse and browsed a;ounJ the Hi-Fi s!ow, or exposition, or whateer you J call It. This was given a three-day play by the merchants, in order to help the public learn about all the new developments in recorded music. The dealers occupied the mezzanine mezzan-ine and part of the third floor with their displays. Anyone interested in sound recording reproducing techniques tech-niques could find a lot of intriguing intrigu-ing displays. ' As It happened, I won a free record re-cord in one place just by giving the best of two answers to a question. ques-tion. I am sorry to say, however, that I missed the point and won only 'by default, only because another an-other fellow gave an even worse answer than mine. The question was, "What is wrong with this question: Can you play Hi?Fi records on Stereo equipment?" equip-ment?" One man" stood up and said the answer was no. I got up and said, Yes, you could, but you would still get monaural sound. The spieler said that was the closest of the two answers, and nobody else ventured an answer, so I came home with an Audio-Fidelity Organ record. But the real point was this: The thing wrong with the question was that is implied that Stereo was not Hi-Fi. Actually, Stereo is the finest development of Hi-Fi. Modern stereo sound reproduction reproduc-tion is both wonderful and expensive. expen-sive. I say it, like some modern automobiles, is at once both too wonderful and too expensive to be appropriate for the mass market. Mining shares the cost To meet school, state agency, and building requirements, the Utah legislature voted expenditures greater than anticipated revenues. This will call for more money from taxes. Part will come from plugging tax loopholes, the rest from a statewide property tax levy of about five mills. Mining will carry a big share of the Increase, because be-cause its assessed valuation is 28 of the state's total. UTAH MIMING ASSOCIATION "From the earth comes an abundant life for all" During the past 10 years the cost of producing copper has increased a staggering stagger-ing 139 at Kennecott's Utah operations. By comparison, the cost of living index has gone up 27. The story of rising costs can be told again and again in every phase of Kennecott's operations. Supplies and services, including wages, are higher now than they were 10 years ago. And there have been changes at the mine. More waste material must be removed to uncover un-cover the ore, and the ore itself contains less copper. As a result, much greater quantities of material must be handled to produce the same amount of copper. Because Kennecott controls neither the price of the copper it sells, nor all of fffpWJJ Mere record players costing from SSOO'on up are, I say, too fancy for Jie average home, where there are other essential needs to be met out of the average income. Furthermore, the Installation and controls are too complex for any but sound engineers and perhaps serious hobbyists. I do not take too happy a stand toward all this stuff. I like good music, played on an acceptable player, but say enough is enough for a modest home. After the first few exhibits, with ultra-dooper players and multiple mul-tiple speakers, I decided I couldn't afford them anyway, so why keep looking. Many of the sets would serve well for concert halls. Whether Whe-ther I'm non-progressive or' not, I'll still take monaural records on practical, simple, relatively inexpensive inex-pensive players. Actual comparison compari-son which one man made for me, playing the Warsaw Concerto on a 530 speaker ad a $300 one, didn't justify the higher cost, to my tin ear. Stock Market Chatter Val Styler, the popular Wall Street Speculator, of Oasis, stopped in the other day with a copy of the Value Line, all enthusiastic a-bout a-bout trie prospects of United Artists. I imagine perhaps Val and the Value Line are right: and yet I hesitate. I told Val I liked United Fruit, a currently depressed old blue chip with a fine history. We decided that the main thing was to put one's money on a "United" stock it didn't matter much what it was as long as it was United something. Which reminds me that in addi- W444Vfr VJSJ A Good Neighbor Helping to Build a Better Utah Millard County Chronicle tion to the numerous "United" stocks such as United Airlines, Carbon, Car-bon, Fruit, Artists, Gas Improvement Improve-ment and so on, there are other good groups. 1 like the Generals, for instanc?. General Motors, Electric Tires, Dynamics, Dy-namics, Food, Mills, etc. Also, some good Americans: Broadcasting, Broadcast-ing, Can, Brake Shoe, Cynamid, and Laundry Machinery. By buying enough United, Generals, Gen-erals, Americans and so on, it shouldn't be hard to make money in the stock market these days, unless the market goes down. And that is what I am afraid of now. Fear of inflation rather than actual ac-tual inflation has sent the mar ket skyrocketing the past 18 months. And today, with the rediscount redis-count rate back up to 3, and talk of new restraints on credit it is a good time to be cautious. The condition of the money mar ket is the overriding factor governing govern-ing behavior of the stock market. tka bmni tjoa bw uhIJi sflff COPPER COST INDEX its production costs, the problems created by rising costs can be met only by achieving achiev-ing maximum efficiency and economy in all operations. We are trying to accomplish this now by a program of improvements. It is a continuing program that seeks economy and efficiency through improved equipment, equip-ment, the development of better operating methods, the most effective use of supplies and the most efficient use of the work force. The program helps Kennecott produce copper successfully. It helps Kennecott continue to be a productive member of the community, and so produce economic benefits that are so important to the prosperity pros-perity of our entire state. Source U. S.
