Theyve rejuvenated folk singing; spread the joyous sound of Americana; and paved the way for the introduction of folk orientated entertainment to audiences in nightclubs, supper clubs, the concert circuit, on television and in the recording industry. Others have followed their lead but none have been able to capture the Minstrels unique swinging singing, feet g constomping, finger-snappin- tagion that captures their diences on every age level. au- It is impossible to single out any one facet as the cause of their dynamic success, the excitement they generate, and the popularity they enjoy on all stages of the entertainment media. They were organized in 1961 and have patterned their own contemporary singing style after a company of War entertainers created by Edwin Pops Christy. The original group rollicked through the county with cornball jokes, slapstick and folk songs and are credited with introducing Stephen Fosters greatest songs. As the New Christy Minstrels gained experience, they streamlined their act and perfected their original style. Under the guidance of George Greif and Sid Garris, to whom Randy Sparks sold his share of the Minstrels for two and a half million dollars in 1964, the New Christy Minstrels have become leading international favorites. In addition to their many and pre-Civ- in-pers- il television performances, their record albums are best sellers throughout the United States and the group's multi-lingurenditions are in demand in Europe, Asia and 121 other countries. Figures recently released by Columbia Records show that their last 6 albums reached an aggregate total of five mililon copies (and that doesnt include singles which surpass that figure). The New Christy Minstrels have introduced their contemto porary style audiences of the world (including Russia, which has permitted the State Radio to play their albums plans are being made for the Minstrels to make a State Department sponsored tour of the USSR in the near future). In television, in night clubs, on the concert circuit, on records and throughout the world, the New Christy Minstrels have paved the way that other acts are only now beginning to follow. The New Christy Minstrels remain first out in front. Audiences prove they want more folk music and especially they want more and still more of the New Christy Minstrels.

Frank E. Moss, cosponsored legislation which would authorize the use of VISTA Volunteers, members of the National Teacher Corps and D-Uta- h, other qualified teachers, in special education projects aimed at rehabilitation of criminal offenders. One of the contributing factors in our national crime rate is the problem of recidivism, Sen. Moss said. Once an individual has served time and is released, it is. very easy to fall back into a life of criminal activity because of a lack of jobs, National Guard team members, Maj. Gen. Maurice L. Watts, Utah Adjutant General, announced today. The two honored Utahns were selected by an exacting five-maselection board, which sifted through 102 nominations from 33 state organizations. All nominees were in either Selected Reserve Force units or units which are actively supporting the U. S. war effort in Southeast Asia. team Chosen as members from Utah were Capt. David J.

At great personal sacrifice to himself and his family, Capt. Parker has flown the maximum number of missions to Southeast Asia which his occupation will allow, Gen. Watts stated. An Ogden resident, Capt. Parker is a math instructor in the local school district. Gen. Watts praised Lt.

The bill cosponsored by Sen. Moss provides Federal assistance to conduct demonstration projects which would show how the program would work.

Dr. George W. Reynolds, professor of meteorology at USU, said that the air pollution potential in these areas is even greater than in Donora, Penn., a small mountain valley, where a severe smog took 20 lives in 1948. Many have the idea that air contamination comes only in crowded industrial areas, but neither concentration of population, nor or industry is required, Dr. Reynolds said. The USU scientist outlined the conditions and causes of air pollution in a recent issue of the Utah Engineer. Intermountain valleys are susceptible to air pollution because the surrounding mountains provide natural pockets that hold in air contaminants and shade the valleys so that a temperature inversion traps cold air, fog and smoke, he pointed out. Under such conditions, only a slight change in the amount of pollutants from automobile exhausts, trash and weed burning, or moderate industrialization could create serious problems, he indicated. An adult community that does not take steps to control air contamination may be leaving an unnecessary legacy of respiratory and heart ailments, cancer and limitations upon crops, flowers, animal production and wildlife, to say nothing about the aesthetic losses, Dr. Reynolds stated. Dr. Reynolds said that a great deal can be done about air pollution but the community must be willing to pay for it. The price may range from foregoing the benefits of having a particular industry in the community, to delaying leaf burning until atmospheric conditions are favorable. It isnt enough to insure that no smoky or smelly industries come into the community. The fact that there are no significantly offending industries now is not insurance for the future, he cautioned. In general, communities have tended to disregard air pollution problems until contaminations have reached unacceptable levels. He noted that the air pollution problem is not self-solvi- ng and that air pollution presents a great and continuing challenge to the engineering community. A tremendous amount of imagination and engineering know-hoare going to be reif civilization is to avoid quired smothering itself in the wastes of industrial progress and the growing population, he said. w nt Cracks And Holes Better Fill if its printing 4 dial 364-846- Handles llks putty Hardens like wood PLASTIC WOOD' Dm fiamfiif -- Aooapt No 8ubotnut I "Maybe theyll drop me a card on their trip Your friends will know you aro "having a wonderful time on vacation when you uoe HP Cod In addressing your card& |
