Page 6 KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD, KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. Thursday, July 22, 1965 "Koin In West" Now Famous Foi Battle Scene Boone, N. C. — The Outdoor Drama “Hom in the West’' has become quite famous for its au thentic battle scenes and excit ing Indian fire dances. A now thrill, however, is in the show this year Recent publicity about Polly, the “Nag” which leads the pioneers to Hillsboro in the big Exodus scene, has gone to her lovely caretaker Mrs. Ginger ‘ Nowell in the face. The horse twisted around so violently that 'while still in her traces she was i iacing the wagon. Most of the - pioneer actors were in the pre- I carious position of kne<.*ling while the actor playing the i Preacher Sims role was praying. I The actor who plays tlie hero in the show was also the real hero of the evening. Dr. Stuart enacted by Bill Ross quietly but quickly grabbed Polly’s bridle and talked to her soothingly un til the scene ended and the tech nical crew took over. The next evening the husband of the heroe’s handler, Tom No well. mastei of properties, dress- ^ as a pioneer and assisted his Wife in leading the horse and wagon on stage. Again “Polly" reared and “Preacher Simms" played by Charlie Elledge saved the day by bellowing forth, “Get that wild hoise out of her, Hank, 'fore she kills somebody. She’s mad cause she lost her colt." Nowell, picking up the cue, im plied. “All Right, Preacher," and let! Polly off stage slightly a- head of schedule The next evening the company prepared for the worst. When the settlers knelt in the prayer scene, not all prayers were make believe. On this night Polly was led by a stranger to the foot lights, Hagan King, the com pany’s Chief Carpenter for ten years and one of the husk'.cr members of the cast. King usual ly works back stage building, rtv pairing, pulling, and shoving scenery, but on this evening he became a pioneer actor. Covering ] all possibilities Bud Mayes 230- pound understudy to Preacher I Simms, silently took his place immediately behind Polly. Sure enough, right in the mid dle of the prayer, Polly again ' roare<l. She barely got off the I ground v/iior; King forcefully ' pulled her dowm. At the same time Mayes slapped her on ihe I i*ump resoundin 4ly, After the I prayer, a calm and peaceful Pol ly led the pienwrs off stage and I on to Hillsboro. VACATION VALUES 9hop and Save at bur<S) Leigh Bites Held Saturday There are many fine youth programs in to<lay’s agriculture which should result in providing future leadership in a basic in dustry which is ever changing and oecoming more and moie .‘omplex. ; each participant must organi/a' ■ his or her thoughts well and pre sent material in a logical man ner. Timing is also important. Final rites for John Thomas Leigh, 70, of Ranlo, brother of Martin Leigh of Kings Mountain, were held at 3 p.m. Saturday from Sisk Memorial Chapel with the Rev. R. L. Reed officiating. Inter.T.ent was in Long Creek cemetery in Dallas. The 4-H program is most likely best known to you. However, there are certain phase.s of the larger 4-H program, wliieh you may not know about. One of these deals with the pnKluetion and marketing of fruits and vegetables. Perhaps one of the most valu able phases of the j)rogram i.s the opportunity to meet othoi* contestants, see their demonstra tions and pick up new ideas. I Right now I cannot think of anything more important tlian I these youth programs in orieni- ! ing our young pi'ople in the <11- rection of useful and pioductivo lives.
