Second Huge Crowd Views “Music Man”

By Bob Shraluka •'lt was much like every player on a baseball team hitting a home run every time at bat,” was the comment of one observer following the second performance of •'The Music Man” Saturday night in the Decatur high school auditorium. The observer related the "home run hit by each player” to the tremendous performance turned in by each member of the cast of nearly 65 persons in the Jaycee-sponsar-ed show. Another huge crowd attended the Saturday night performance, comparing to the overflow throng that had attended the opening night performance Friday night. There were~a"" few more-empty seats Saturday night, but this was due to the fact that some had been added after the first night's ' performance due to the tremend-, ous demand for seats for the show. I Continents Heard Many of the same comments ; that were heard after the Friday night show were again heard. Such adjectives as "terrific,” “wonderful,” and “certainly not an amateur performance" were just a few of the comments. Co-stars Jerry Lobsiger and Audrey Waldron gave their second consecutive superb performances as Prof. Harold Hill and Miss Mariann Paroo, respectively. In fact, the entire cast captivated the: audience for the second time ini two evenings. Mrs. Wilma Jacobs, Decatur housewife, and Barbara Rutter, Zion Lutheran school teacher, again displayed outstanding talents in portraying Mrs, Paroo and Eulalie Shinn, wife of the mayor. Chert Jacobs and Tom Schnepf, Decatur high school students, were praised for their fine performances. as was little Miss Marcy Gensic who portrayed Amaryllis in the production. Opening Scene The eight members of the Decatur Jaycees themselves also; gave fine performances in their opening scene which got the show off “on the right foot” both nights. Many were amazed at the masterful illusion of the train ride. Much of the success of the tremendous production must also go to the 11-plece orchestra, underthe direction of Ed Heimann, ac- 1 companist Jean Bower, and the chorus, under the direction of Ken, Following the show; a party was!

Mother, Children Die In Home Fire TOWANDA, Pa. (UT'D—A mother and her five children burned to death Sunday and her husband suffered bums over 95 per cent of his body when flames destroyed their two- story frame home. Barbara Prymer, 35, and the children, ranging in age from three weeks to four years, were trapped on the second floor of the house by the flames. Firemen arrived too late to aid them. The father, Gerald, 30, a state, highway worker, was in “grave” condition today at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. He stood on the roof of a porch to help his wife and the children to safety but the roof collapsed and he fell to the ground with his clothing afire. The children were Bonnie Sue, 4; Charles Edmond, 3; Genevieve Nora, 2; Dorothy Jo, 1, and John 3 weeks. State police said the fire apparently started in the kitchen at the rear of the house An investigation to determine its cause was begun. New York Stock Exchange Prices MIDDAY, PRICES A.

Three Persons Fined In Decafur Court Three persons paid fines and a fourth was remanded to the Adams county jail for failure to pay, in the city court of Judge John B. Stults this morning. Richard P. Devolld, 60, Springfield, 0., was fined $1 and costs, a total of $lB, on a charge of public intoxication. He was unable to pay, however, and returned to the local jail to lay out the fine. Devolld was arrested Saturday at 9:45 p. m. on N. 13th street by the city police, and was held >n jail until this morning. Irene McCune, Geneva, paid a fine of $1 and costs, totaling $19.75, on a charge of failure to yield. Mrs. McCune was arrested Saturday, March 23, after an accident at the intersection of Grant and Winchester streets. Eugene Newcomer, 19, Geneva, was also fined $1 and costs, on a charge of reckless driving levied against him after a two-car accident last week. Newcomer’s auto had crashed into the rear of a car on 13th street, injuring him and two passengers in his auto. Another $1 and costs fine was paid by Noah Leo Amstutz, 39, route 2. Berne. Amstutz was arrested for speeding on 13th street Saturday morning. •r Break-in Reported At Wayne Novelty A break-in at the Wayne Novelty, Washington St., was reported to the city police Sunday afternoon, but nothing was taken from the building. Investigation revealed that the building was entered by breaking a window on the south side of the building, reaching in through the broken portion to open the window. Whoever broke in then left by forcing open a bolted door on the east side of the building. Apparently nothing was stolen, as nothing could be found missing after the break-in was discovered. Decatur Man Facing Three Traffic Counts William Henry Kahn, 37, 1115 Meibers St., will be facing three charges when he appears in city court next Monday. Kahn was arrested by the city police at 3:45 p.m. Sunday when he was observed driving his auto without license plates. He was stopped and arested for failing to have places and also for having no operator’s license. Less than three hours later he was arrested for reckless driving, while driving the car of a friend. He is presently being held in the Adams county jail under a bond of SSO. Asks For Return Os 'Music Man' Scores Wayne Roahrig, Jaycee general chairman for “The Music Man,’ urged anyone who has vocal books, musical scores, or any other such item that were distributed during rehearsals, to return them to him immediately, or contact him at Indiana & Michigan. The vocal books, scores, and other items must be returned to Music Theater International this week. Roahrig also that a number of various items such as shoes, towels, etc., which were left at rehearsals and after the two shows Friday and Saturday, have been turned in to him. Hie owners may pick up any lost items at the I & M office.

PATCHWORK FOR TOMORROW— “BaId spots” seen from the air over the vast Douglas fir regions of Oregon and Washington are not pranks of nature. They are areas cut over according to plan, with tomorrow’s forestry requirements in mind. (Note outlines of logging roads through patches.) Areas are then reseeded by nature from surrounding timber. The Douglas fir seedlings, which would not survive in shade of larger trees, grow ud together as uniform stands of usable timber

PROPOSED (Continued from Page One) ’ cussion on other plans as well.” Here is what the Bontrager plan calls for: New Plan Outlined —lncrease the present 1% per cent gross income tax to 2% per cent for the two-year period beginning last Jan. 1 and running through Dec. 31, 1964. —lncrease the present % of one per cent gross income tax on wholesalers to % of one per cent for the same two-year period. —Decrease the present 1% per cent gross income tax on personal services to one per cent as a means of alleviating what Bontrager termed "a crippling effect” on this group. —Beginning Jan 1, 1965, impose a 2 per cent sales tax and cut back the 2% per cent gross income tax on individuals to 2 per cent. “This would have the effect of establishing by stages the tax plan recommended by the State Tax and Finacing Policy Commission,” Bontrager said. Recoup Deficit “My feeling was that since the present administration is spending on a deficit basis we should recoup part of this deficit by a retroactive tax hike.” Bontrager said he felt the Indiana Revenue Department would need- until Jan- 1, 1965, to put a sales tax into effect and possibly to test such a plan in the courts. He estimated that his plan would bring in $230 million extra for the full biennium. The gross income hike on ■ individuals was estimated to produce $l6O million during the two-year period; that on wholesalers S4O million while the decrease on personal services would cut off sls million. The six months of the biennium in which the sales tax would be in operation was estimated to produce $45 million. Bontrager said that if the retroactive portion of the plan were unacceptable it could be dropped at a loss of about $8 million and make the plan effective April 1. Briefings Expected Republicans on the tax and budget conference committee were expected to brief Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine and House Speaker Richard Guthrie this morning on the Bontrager plan, and Democratic members presumably will also discuss this and other tax plans with their leaders, Sen. Marshall Kizer, and Rep. Robert Rock. The $230 million figure is sufficient to cover the budget as it stood tentatively when the fourman conference committee last worked on it. Rep. John Coppes, R-Nappanee, chairman of the tax conference committee, said no decision was reached on any one plan at the 8%-hour meeting Sunday. “We plan to discuss in caucus

what we have been discussing in conference," Coppes said. “We have not had any caucuses since we began deliberating. We principally want to see what the feeling of the legislators is now on taxes” Session's 21st Day He said that it would be at least Tuesday before any tax plan would be agreed upon. The House and senate resume the 21st day of their special session this afternoon with reapportionment scheduled as the major subject. At least one senator — Keith Fraser, R-Portland — has announced he does not plan to return to today’s session. He said he would not be back until Governor Welsh calls a special election to fill a vacant Senate seat which the GOP has blamed for a stalemate that has prevailed through much of the 61-day regular session and on into the special session. Another fight may break out in the Senate this afternoon on a proposal to hike cigarette taxes. A bill calling for a 2-cent hike is pending on third reading. At present, this bill appropriates one cent of this two cents for use of cities and towns and an Ohio River bridge. Emergency Landing Made By Jetliner TAMPA, Fla. (DPI)—A Torontobround jetliner with 138 persons aboard made a safe emergency landing at Mac Dill Air Force Base Sunday with a malfunctioning landing gear. The Trans-Canada Airlines DCB circled for more than two hours burning excess fuel before coming in for a perfect landing. Officials directed the pilot to land at MacDill because of better emergency facilities there.

Canaveral Melting Pot Os Languages

By ALVIN B. WEBB JR. United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) — Man is going to the moon this decade, but only after he gets the LEM, SM. CM and LES assembled and connected to the S-IC, S-II and S-IVB This will be done in the VAB at MILA adjoining AFMTC. There still will be the matter of linking the IU, A-II and S-IVB to the LUT GSE. LCC will feed this vital information to the NASA IMCC at MSC. Then he can blast off for the moon. Assuming, of course, that everything is A-OK at T-time. Cape Canaveral is a veritable melting pot of languages, notably English, Southern United States, German, Bostonian, Canaveralese and initial. The last is interesting because it is the newest and, in some respects, the most difficult. Seek Short Cute Scientists always seem to be looking for short cuts. Long ago, they discovered that $1,000,000 could be written as "10” with a tiny "6” tagged to the upper right corner of the “0.” It means the same thing, and saves pencils to boot. This sort of scientific frugality has now moved into the realm of words. The result is that Cape Canaveral has the most impressive pile of initials this side of Washington. Nearly everything that takes two words or more to describe gets a corresponding set of letters. -— What can happen is demoni strated in the first two parai graphs above. Roughly translat- ■ ed, it says "Man is going to the moon this decade, but only after his Apollo spaceship is assembled and connected to the advanced Saturn-5 rocket. "This will be done on the Merritt Island Annex to Cape Canaveral. The rocket then will be connected to the launch pad umbilical tower. The electronic information will be fed from here to the federal space agency’s headquarters in Houston, Tex.” Comparative Latecomer This business of initials is a comparative latecomer, following as it were on the heels of the code word era. But code words lost favor with some bad experiences such as the Defense Department’s ill-timed “big Brother” tag for its spy-in-the-sky satellite system. The federal space agency had similar problems. It named one f of its super-rockets “Nova,” .which looked fine until someone checked a dictionary and found that nova was an exploding starInitials save a lot of work hereabouts. It is much easier to use the term “MILA” instead of having to write out “Merritt Island Launch Annex” several times in one report (although some might contend a shorter name would have been a simpler solution). An easy command of the language of initials even rates as a sort of status symbol. A man who can digest an 18-page report with 274 sets of initials and not flinch once gets a lot of respect. There Are Problems, But there are problems. One is that, unlike most other languages, there is no simple “English-initial, initial - English” dictionary to which one can readily refer. A

rank outsider conceivably could spend days here listening to others talk, and never lear what’s going on. There is the task of deciding whether initials should be pronounced individually dr lumped into a word. “NASA”—National Aeronautics and Space Administration—is spoken as one word: “Nah’-suh” (or "nay’-suhy if you want to lend a sarcastic JRpte). For some reason, a tendency to carry it too far with such as GSE (ground support equipment), which comes out like a Bronx cheer, and even MSGC (Marshall Space Flight Center), a gutteral sound akin to that of a strangling cat. But the engineers and technicians at Cape Canaveral like initials. And after a week of dealing with them, they all look forward to the one set of initials that still ranke as the most popular: TGlF—Thank goodness it’s Friday. Baker & Schultz Low On Two Bridge Jobs Baker & Schultz, Inc., Decatur contractors, were low bidders on two bridge projects in Delaware county, when bids were opened Friday by the state highway commission. The low bids totaled $11.19 million on 39 road, bridge, traffic and maintenance projects. Baker & Schultz were low at $145,582 on one four-span bridge on county road over Interstate 69, and low at $132,645 on a second four-span bridge on county road over Interstate 69, both In Delaware county. 4-H And FFA Dairy Judging On Tuesday The Adams county 4-H and FFA dairy judging contest will be held Tuesday afternoon, according to Bill Kipfer, vocational agriculture teacher at Geneva high school.
