iJ ■■SI lumß •ku/ I’.JRJMEBS HATCHERY COMES DOWN — The old Betz’s Baby Biddies building, located behind Campbell’s IGA Market, Main Street, Milford, is being torn down today (Wednesday). This well known chicken hatchery of bygone days was owned by the late Fred Betz and was made of soft bricks manufactured at Milford Junction years ago. Phil Campbell, market owner, said, he plans on constructing a 1.440 square foot meat processing building on the hatchery site. This building will have facilities for preparing farm killed beef including a cooler and storage area. Campbell commented. “We are enlarging our meat department.” Construction will begin on the building by the end of the week and it should be completed within 15 davs.

Fat Russian women make fashion hopeless

Many Americans may be surprised to learn that the sleek Russian athletes who compete in Olympic sports are not representative of the home population/ Slava Zaitsev, a top-fashion designer, hailed as the Dior of Moscow, lamented that most women become so fat after age 20 that they’re beyond fashion help. “I am hopeless to help them because fat cannot be hidden," said Zaitsev, of the House of Fashion in Moscow. The problem seems to be too many potatoes, breads, cakes and candies and too few vegetables and fruits in the Soviet diet; The agricultural situation improves every year, but it obviously is difficult to educate the people’s palates into wanting more high-protein foods and less empty carbohydrates. Occasionally the country’s health magazines devote an article to obesity, but the problem is a sensitive one. It traces back to lagging agricultural production. To openly fight fat would be to point an accusing finger at the state, which is responsible for feeding everyone. One young university student dismissed her spreading contours with a shrug. "I’ll have my clothes made by a There’s nothing decent in the stores anyway,” she said. In most cases, the tailored clothes are better made and more attractive than those in the stores. Department stores still stock long-outdated fashions. A typical off-the-rack dress from Gum, Moscow’s major department store, is apt to be a gaudily colored polyester sheath with short sleevbs and a round

neckline. Even the mini-skirt and j bubble hairdo are in evidence. ] Zaitsev contended that the ; soviet fashion industry is lagging ! behind the ideas of its designers. His creations are not for sale. He s gives his sketches directly to the ; clothing factories. But there’s no 1 guarantee that plant directors i will follow them. 1 Often the results bear little . likeness to his designs. Factory I heads regularly complain that i the Zaitsev creations are “too far ! out” to be successfully massproduced. < “There are many talented young people working in our world of fashions and if officials would only trust them 1 have no doubt that Russians will begin to dress better," Zaitsev said. To help make the “fatties" more beautiful, Zaitsev designs what he said are “very classical clothes’\ in soft colors and fabrics. He loves English styles in flannels and wools and modifies them to be more feminine. The House of Fashion, where Zaitsev works, has fashion shows three times a day. The models are extraordinary’ sleek and

pretty when compared with the populace. But they are not as thin as models in New York city’s Seventh Avenue showrooms. Most of Zaitsev’s time is spent showing his fashion collection around the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. He hopes it will inspire plump young women to look and dress better. “Unfortunately, no one is taking care of serious aesthetic education for our women,” Zaistev said. “I love our people very much. Fat or thin, they deserve the best we can give them.” Most adults forget that boys and girls look at things with juvenile minds.

The mess-up who became a star

The fifth floor terrace lounge at The Don CeSar Beach Resort Hotel was filled with newspaper, magazine, radio and television reporters. And there among them was a very familiar face — James Garner’s. He was the reason why this gang of newsgetters had gathered at the lavish hotel on Saint Petersburg Beach. You kind of get the idea that answering questions from reporters is not Jim’s favorite part of show business. Now don’t get me wrong; Garner wasn’t nasty or anything like that. Far from it, he was one heck of a nice guy, a lot nicer than I expected. But his easy-going, relaxed style gave you the impression that he would rather be doing something else besides sitting around shooting the bull. As a matter of fact, Jim finds the public’s interest in him unbelievable. He admitted, “I just can’t imagine why anybody wants to hear what an actor has to say.” Unless you’ve been stuck in a closet the past few months, you probably know that James Garner is in the Tampa Bay, Fla., area, to make a movie. The name of the picture is “Health,” and the whole thing is being shot at The Don CeSar. In the film. Gamer plays a glib press agent and nonchalant campaign manager. A familiar type role for him. He was the glib and nonchalant husband in many big screen sitcoms, playing opposite the likes of Kim Novak. Doris Day and Debbie Reynolds. Although most of Garners portrayals are usually similiar, he is always captivating. Audiences like Jim because he seems to be just a regular guy on and off the screen. And Gamer is also a favorite with the gals, because he’s such a handsome devil. 'Maverick* was the big break At 50, Garner still looks much the way he did when he first played Bret Maverick 22 years ago. Bret was the lead character in the very popular television series “Maverick.” Now you mean there are some of you out there too young to remember this goodie? Well, let me fill you in.

“Maverick” made James Gamer a star. This series was unique and in a class all by itself and for a very special reason which the entire audience could never figure out. Some thought the show was a western adventure. Others saw “Maverick" as a western spoof. Actually, it was both and that was the reason for its huge success. The show

Future of playhouse remains uncertain

The future of the Enchanted Hills Playhouse remains uncertain for the summer of 1979 as of today. The owners, Doug Stark and Bob Zehr, are endeavoring to lease the theater to a group who will maintain their high production standards. The local theatre guild, in a recent reaffirmation to back the family theater in the Lakeland area, agreed to adopt the “business as usual" attitude and go ahead with plans for the annual style show, “Sneak Preview ’79." The show will be held on Thursday, April 19, at 6:30 p.m. in Saint Andrew’s United Methodist Church. All styles will be features from area Syracuse

could be enjoyed as an adventure or as a spoof. Cowpoke Bret and his brother Bart (Jack Kelly) were self-centered, untrustworthy, crooked as the clay is long, slow on the draw. But viewers loved these two shifty brothers. Jim left the show in 1960 to pursue his motion picture career. Before Warner Brothers cast Garner in “Maverick,” that studio used Jim as a featured player in their motion pctures. But bigger and better roles came the actor’s way after the series and his Warner Brothers’ contract ended. Jim starred in such films as “Cash McCall,” “36 Hours,” “Mister Buddwing" and “Grand-Prix.” Gamer’s favorite film was “The Americanization of Emily” (1964), a wartime love story with Julie Andrews. If “Emily” was his favorite movie, what was his least favorite? “Oh, there's too many choices . . . The worst . . . would have to be a thing called ‘Sledge’ (a 1969 western). I always call it ‘Sludge’.” He made some other dogs. too. but Jim was reluctant to name them. “I don’t even want to mention those others. They turn my stomach." When the 70's rolled around, Jim’s movie career had slowed down and he went back to television. His second series was “Nichols,” a turn of the century western comedy. This show was Gamer's favorite series, but unfortunately, it was a one season flop. Why? Jim explained, "Well, I can give you quite a few reasons ... It was a little bit ahead of its time. But Chevrolet owned the whole show. They bought it and I'm sure they thought they were going to get another "Maverick." And when they didn’t, they were totally shocked and they wanted to back out. I’m sure they made a deal with NBC to get rid of it . . . Also, the show cost Chevrolet a bundle’of money." Tired Os ‘Rockford’ Series » Garner’s current series is “The Rockford Files” The show, considered by many critics to be the best dramatic series on the air, in is its fifth season a id still going strong. But in spite of all the show’s good points, Jim doesn’t want to do it anymore, there’s a lot of things that come into play." I mean physically and mentally I’m very tired. No one knows what working 14 or 15 hours at day for five years does to you. It really wears you out. But there’s a few other factors.

shops. Proceeds from tne ticket sales will be dedicatee to furthering local theater.

. The program is on Mondays and Wednesdays and Saturday’s. I mean two nights of reruns and one original! Nobody knows which is which. And that s a little too much exposure for anyone. I think it’s ridiculous . . They’re killing the goose that laid the golden egg, but that’s their (the network's) problem. If they want to do that, that's their business. But it’s also my business to choose not to do ‘The Rockford Files’." Does that mean that this is "Rockford’s" last season? Jim shook his head “No They (NBC) have me for one more year on a contract. Whether they excercise that option remains to be seen. " Garner looks like and is a mid.westerner Jim was born and raised in Norman, Okla. “The people at home. 1 think, are very proud of me. They re shocked. I was the boy voted most likely to mess up.”

How did this “mess-up" and ninth grade school drop-out become a major motion picture star? “When I was 25 I got tired of laying carpets, so I tried acting and enjoyed it. Until then, acting wasn’t anything that Lhad any great desire to do." (By the way, Jim did receive his high school diploma while he was in the army, before he became an actor.) Does he have any desire to direct? “I would like to direct more; I just don’t have the conviction that I’m good enough Technically, there’s no problem. And I think I’d be a little too easy with actors. I like them I really couldn’t force them to do things that I think are right if they don't.” And finally, just in case you’re wondering — Jim is happily married. But not to the actress in all those Polaroid commercials. — Mickey Sinardi
