Show Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color Filmed in Park City Last Sunday evening found few Park City folks out of range of a television set. The reason-W- alt Disney's regular Sunday show, The Wonderful World of Color, presented The Owl who Didnt Give a Hoot. The entire story was filmed in Park City and SnydervlUe from April to August this year hy Pisces Productions, Inc. The story of a young boy and his foundling owl was well told and beautifully photographed. Everyone in our community felt home-tow- n pride . when viewing the TV show, but few really knew what the story would unfold as Frank Zuniga, director of the filming company, kept details of the plot under wraps. His reasoning was to keep the production as natural as possible. This was accom- plished. Local persons who had bit parts were easily recognized. "Aunt Harriet whose picture the naming of the inspired owlette was Flo Splker. The driver of the station wagon that almost hit Harriet, the owl as she was getting acquainted with the outside world, was Mike Ivers of Snyderville. The fellow who got a clipping up the back of his head when the owl flew into the barber shop (Buns on Main Street) was Park Citys Gary Kimble. Others in the cast were seasoned actors from Salt Lake with tlie exception of the lad who played Johnny Fredericks. The freckled-face- red-hair- star was played d by David We wish you peace and joy at this time and for always! KENS SERVICE BLANCHE AND KEITH WRIGHT Potter who has never before acted professionally. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George John Potter of Salt Lake and is a Junior at Skyline High. The understanding parents were portrayed by John Fetzer and Marian Fletcher. Mr. Miller, a neighbor who raised prize pigeons, and who felt the owl was a definite menace to his birds, was played by Hank Clayton. The frustrated store owner who chased the frightened owl in his store causing a great deal of disorder was aptly acted by Stan Farnsworth, former director at Park City Silver Wheel Theatre. The other acting bit parts were persons associated with the filming company. Dennis Grisco, one of Americas foremost falconers, handled the birds and animals It was a marvel to see how' well he was able, to get the animals and birds to react in the various scenes as the story unfolded. Rags, the lads dog, chased Mandrake, the villian black cat, whenever he threatened die young owl, in a most believable way. The owl from all members of the cast. Several owls were used to fill the role of Harriet. The photography of natures beauties was exceptional. The live insects, mice, snake, and a skunk were captured in their natural habitat to help you to experience the situation. Michael Lonzo captured the essence of reality with his camera for the delight of the audience. The story of how the teenage boy raised the baby owl was well told. His protective custody of a wild bird brought problems to him that he overcame. Because she was raised in the house, the owl had to be taught that she was not human. Curious and mischief as any growing animal, the owl was almost washed with the laundry, became an unwanted decoration on a birthday cake, had a losing battle with a skunk, and in some instances, a nuisance. Gradually the boy and the owl found that each had his place in the nature of things. Johnny realized that if Harriet was to survive, she had to revert to her instinctive way of life and encouraged the owl to take her place in natures pattern. This is finally accomplished for the happiness of both. Winter sport enthusiasts have taken to the new sport of in increasing numbers bringing more people into wintering areas of game and this has become of great concern to the Division of Fish and Game because of the potential danger to the animals and the individual snowmobilers. Deer and elk are at a critical time during the winter months because it is difficult to obtain food to sustain them and the pregnant females are at a particularly critical time, carrying young which will be born in the late spring. These animals have little reserve strength at this time so anytime they are pushed by individuals on snow machines they tire easily and have difficulty in recovering from the extra effort expended. snow-mobili- ng 'flinnk joii to all our lafroiiK...iun.v I life Christmas lie your merriest ever!

Anderson said annoyance calls range from pranks to obscenities to threats. When calls are of a serious nature, victims are urged to report the incidents to police who, in turn, request help from the phone company. The manager said most annoyance calls do not require police or telephone company action. Persons who receive prank calls are advised to hang up immediately. If calls persist, however, and police are contacted, action such as number changes or tracing of calls can be taken. The tracers identify phones from which calls are made and further investigation enables police to make arrests. Some arrests have actually been made Nice Promotion Tor David Staples Mr. and Mrs. David Staples and family moved recently from California to Hawaii where Mr. Staples will be manager of the poultry operation owned by Olsen Company there.
