BEING PRE-SENTED AGAIN The traditional University of Utah Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Ballet" will take place this year on the Kingsbury Hall stage, Decem-ber 26. 27, 28, 29 and 31. For the past eight years this an-nual presentation by the University Ballet Company has brought de-light to thousands and thousands of Utahns as the entertainment highlight of the holiday season. The full corps of the University of Utah Ballet Company augment-ed by a group of young dancers brings the total company for this production to 115 members. This year's guest stars will be Michael Maule and Colleen Corkre. This will be Michael Maule's third per-formance as the Cavalier in the U. production of "Nutcracker Ballet." The Utah Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maurice will perform the richly me-lodic Tchaikovsky music for the production. Ballet director William F. Christ-ense- n when asked why theatre go-ers return to see the Nutcracker year after year replied, "The warmth that comes across the foot-lights to every Nutcracker audience and makes Kingsbury Hall glow with holiday enjoyment originates with the host of young dancers who perform every year in this Christmas classic. "Every year since 1955 when the Nutcracker tradition first took root in Utah, a company of more than 100 dancers almost half of them young children capers thru the Nutcracker first act Christmas party, as merry and mischievous as if there were no audience out front looking on at the fun. Every night of the Nutcracker run is a Christ-mas party, as real and as gay as any of the other parties that high-light these youngsters' holiday sea-son, They are with friends they enjoy; their surroundings are fes-tive and Tchaikovsky's music car-ries them along into high-ke- y pleasures." The Ballet tells the story of the little girl Clara and of the Christ-mas Eve party where she is given a wonderfull gift of a unique Nut-cracker. In the night of dreams fol-lowing the gaiety of the party, Clara's nutcracker grows larger than life-siz- e as do her dolls and other toys where a world of fan-tasy comes to life on the stage. In Clara's dream the nutcracker is transformed into a Prince who tak-es her on a most fabulous journey into snowflake land where glisten-ing snow-maide- dance for her pleasure. Then she is whisked to the land of the Sugar Plum Fairy where, greeted and treated like royalty, Clara revels in dreams-come-tru- e in the world of Christ-mas. Tickets may be ordered from the Fieldhouse Central Ticket Office, U. of U., evening prices $4, $3, $2, matinees $3, $2.25.

FOOTBALL INJURIES REMAIN HIGH Despite the intensive nationwide program last season to curb foot-ball injuries, the total deaths on the gridiron for 1962 reached 26. Fortunately none of these foot-ball deaths were in Utah. In commenting on the season, Horace Rose, executive secretary for the Utah High School Activi-ties Association, said: "So far as we can determine, practically every football game in Utah this year was attended by a physician, or a doc-tor was readily available in case of need. There are some small towns that have only one doctor or two, and sometimes it is impossible to have a doctor attend the foot-ball game. In such cases, he is alerted for immediate call if need-ed. We're grateful to the many, many doctors in the state who are doing so much to protect the health and welfare of the boys. It's a won-derful service." This practice of having a doc-tor attend football games has been followed at many schools for many years, but the drive to have a doc-tor in attendance at all games was intensified a year ago under the direction of Dr. Bernard J. Critch-fiel-chairman of the Utah State Med ical Association committee on athletic injuries. Dr. Critchfield, wno serves as team physician for the Cranger High School, is typical of the many doctors helping the high schools of Utah because of their interest in athletics and boys. SCHOOL NEED AGAIN FACING JORDANJMSTRICT After the Jordan School District Board of Education had opened bids for two elementary school ad-ditions, it was told the district will need three new elementary schools, a junior high school and an addi-tion to another elementary school by 1965.

These should be in the area of 8600 South and I0U0 East and another between 2000 and 2300 East souih of 7000 South, he said. Ihe 8600 South school should be the "No. I project," but the other should be built concurrently if possible, Mr. Mickelsen said. Mr. Mickelsen also urged the board to begin an immediate study of a four-roo- addition to Edge-mo- nt elementary school. Both the third elementary and junior high school will be needed by 1965, Mr. Mickel sen said.
