GAYLE HARMON TODD Warrenton Native Has Role In Movie Warrenton native Gayle Harmon Todd, now of Wilmington, has been cast as the stand-in for a co-star in the movie, "Marie: A True Story." In the movie, based on the Peter Maas book which relates the story of the Tennessee official Marie Ragghianti who helped to topple the administration of former Gov. Ray Blanton, Mrs. Todd will stand in for Lisa Banes, who plays the part of Marie's good friend, Toni Greer. Sissy Spacek stars as Ms. Ragghianti. Filming for the movie, to be done in Wilmington and Nashville, Tenn., began this month. Mrs. Todd's role requires her to stand in for Miss Banes during adjustment of the cameras and lighting. She will also act as an extra in various scenes, enabling her actually to appear onscreen. Mrs. Todd stated that the first day of filming was both exciting and tiresome as she worked for 10 hours with the filming crew and actresses. She said, "I have been in stage performances where you have to get your lines and actions right the first time; but in a movie, you get a chance to do it over and over again until it is just right, according to the director." Heading the production are several notables: Producer Frank Caprfc, Jr. of "Firestarter;" Director Roger Donaldson of "Bounty;" and Screen Writer John Briley of "GandhL" The stage is no stranger to the former Miss Warren County, who has acted in various roles since her childhood. While a student at Chowan College in Murfreesboro, she was recognized as the school's "Outstanding Dramatist." The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Harmon of South Main Street, Warrenton, Mrs. Todd attributes much of her success to her mother's early guidance and encouragement. Moth Study Nobody thinks of the moth as having a systematic flight plan. But scientists at the University of California, Riverside who are studying the male moth's sexual pursuit say its zigzagging flight is an unerring navigation to the waiting female, a behavior as automatic as walking but much more complicated. Their findings could lead to more effective "sex disruption" techniques used to control the reproduction of moths which are serious food and crop pests.

Cost-Saving Steps Pondered By Board Warren General Hospital trustees are scheduled to meet Thursday at 7:30 p. m. to continue their search for areas in which to cut costs in order to maintain operation of the hospital. The meeting, a continuation of the regular monthly session held Thanksgiving Eve, will be used to formulate a set of recommendations which trustees will take before the Warren County Board of Commissioners on Monday. Under consideration by trustees now is a curtailment of several areas of service now available at the hospital. Among them are the possible termination of in-house food service capability, with replacement coming from private sector food providers; the possible discontinuance of the radiology department, possible termination of a contract with an outside group to provide 24hour emergency room coverage, and let the hospital instead contract with private physicians for coverage; and the possibility that the hospital's telephone system, said too sophisticated and costly for a small hospital, may be replaced with a smaller system. Getting A Needed Rest Lying down and resting may be as beneficial as sleeping in the case of an afternoon nap, according to a recent study conducted by Texas A&M's Sleep Laboratory. Both habitual nappers and non-nappers reported about the same amount of mood improvement from napping and from resting without falling asleep. Researchers concluded that sleep itself does not appear to be crucial in improving mood.
