Miss America Show On TV Saturday Better Viewing Is Planned This Year NEW YORK (UP< The Miss America pageant, a kind of Ed Sullivan show with legs, wiggles into view this Saturday night. And according to Doug Edwards. who'll be calling the play for CBS-TV in a special 90-min-ute telecast, home peekers this year will get a slicker program than when ABC-TV was handling the proceedings. ABC-TV had beamed the pageant the past three years. 'Tve seen kinescopes of the ABC shows,’’ said Edwards today. ‘And I think we can do a better job. We’ll have more camera placements and we're going to try to the sound. An Evesdropper •'The whole trouble in past years was that TV—although not quite an uninvited guest—was not quite a real guest either TV was kind of an eavesdropper. It had poor vantage points for its cameras, for example, which is pretty absurb when you consider it’s the eyes of 20 million people." This September, for the first time, TV will have its anchor platform right in the audience. It'll be about 15 feet high and 15 rows back in the audience. Edwards and a co-spieler, Bess Meyerson, will occupy the perch along with a camera. Miss Meyerson is a former Miss America herself. There will also be a CBS camera on stage, two on the main ramp and another in the audience. The large old- fashioned microphones which often obliterated the girls will be removed this year and thin pencil mikes substituted. All Ad-Lib “The tough thing about working a show like this, of course, is that it's 90-minutes of ad-lib,” observed Edwards. "And we can’t have any kind of rehearsal because we don’t know what acts will be on the air.” - • ..:it...Lk2'T t *_;

TH® WKCATUR BAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

There are 51 beavtfet engaged in the Atlantic City jouat this year and their talents come in almost as many varieties as salami. Twelve girls plan to give dramatic readings, 13 will sing, seven will tackle instruments, nine will dance, two will sing and read, two will sing and dance, one will play an Instrument and sing, one will tumble, one twirl a baton and three non-musical types will deliver lectures on painting. Mercifully, viewers will be spared this complete parade of goodies CBS-TV will Umlt itself to showng the 10 semi-finalists. However, it plans to show this batch completely instead of cutting away occasionally as in previous telecasts, "Well have beauty, talent and excitement," said Edwards, who this season will branch out as narrator of CBS-TV’s "Armstrong Circle Theatre.” "W hat we’re hoping to wind up with is a kind of off-the-cuff spectacular.” Ragweed Hits High Mark At Indianapolis Hayfever Season To Be Ended Shortly INDIANAPOLIS (UP*-The ragweed pollen count reached an alltime high here this week. But hayfever sufferers may take heart. The worst should be over in a few days. The count during the worst of the sneezing season usually fluctuates between around 200 and 450. But it reached 1,314 at the Indiana State Board of Health laboratory Tuesday afternoon. A survey compiled by the Pollen and Mold Subcommittee of the Research Council of the American Academy of Allergy lists the alltime daily high for Indianapolis as 1,105. That count was taken some time between 1946 and 1956. The record count was measured in two chambers on the roof of the health board’s building on the city’s west side, in one cubic yard of air ‘ You must remember, however, that the count was taken from a small area,” said Walter Miller, direettor of the board’s microbiology division, and does not rtecessarily mean it was the same all over the city. Twelve hours later, the count was down to 234. Miller said high winds Monday night “probably were responsible for more ragweed pollen in the air.” "Maybe the high count was also the result of faster ripening of the weed,” he said. Health board records through 1953 showed nothing comparable to the record count of 1,314. On Sept. 4, 1954, it went up to 670— I the highest until Tuesday's alltime mark. The top reading last year was 420 on Sept. 2. "The peak should be reached in the first 10 days of September,” i said Miller. Last year, the count 'did not reach zero until Sept. 21. Indianapolis is “undesirable” ! territory for hayfever victims with an average 10-year index of 91- The index is based on various factors, including lengtht of the season and maximum area of ragweed concentration.

Temperature Dips To 39 In Indiana Coldest Weather Os Season In Indiana ... .. By UNITED PRESS ... .. Temperatures fell within seven degrees of freezing in Indiana today and set records as the season’s coldest weather swept the state amid a brilliant display of northern lights. It was 39 at Goshen, 43 at Fort Wayne and South Bend. 45 at Lafayette and 46 at- Indianapolis, where the coldest Sept 5 reading in 86 years of records was observed. The 46 at Indianapolis brgke a record 48 for date which stood since 1950. But it did not set any marks for the coldest temperature recorded so early in the season. The record is 42 set on Aug. 30, 1946. Weathermen said Goshen’s 39 may not have been the coldest. “There may have been a lower reading than that at some of the cooperative climatological stations. but such information will not be available soon," the observers said. The readings around the state were about 10 degrees lower than forecasters had anticipated. As the mercury dipped into the low 50s long before midnight, thousands of Hoosiers watched long shafts of light from the aurora borealis in an exceptionally bright display in the northern sky. The low readings came after the coolest day of the summer. The mercury went no higher than 68 at South Bend and 69 at Indianapolis during Wednesday. Evansville's 79 high and 58 low were comparatively warm. The cool wave was expected to continue despite fair and sunny weather today and Friday Lows tonight were expected to range in the low 50s and highs Friday near 75. Today’s highs were pegged at 66 to 75. The outlook for Saturday was increasing cloudiness and warmer with scattered showers likely.
