Wizard Of Oz To Feature Ice Capades For more than 10 years John H. Harris Producer of Ice Ca pades, has heen trying to pro duce L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz. Many models were made and discarded before his workmen came up with an experimental set of figures for the 20th Edi tion’s “Babes in Toylapd” pro duction which were a great suc cess. Harris felt that he was on the right track, but that there were greater possibilities in the idea yet. Once he 20th Edition was over, the Ice Capades Prop Shop went to work on an improved version, evenuaUy earning up with just what Harris wanted. So the famous Wizard of Oz, which had been — and is — so great a book was a New York stage hit, and in the late 30's be came a motion picture starring Judy Garland, Was put into pro duction as one of the big num bers for the “I’m 21” Edition. The solution to the problem of how to present the little people came at a very opportune time, for Harris had1 a perfect made to-order Dorothy in 17-year-old (Lynn Patsy Finnegan, who looks like 12 and skates like 60. Now patrons will see the en tire group of Mundhkinland sol diers, the Good Witches of the North and South, and the Bad Witches of the East and West, the Mayor, the Welcoming Com mittee, all costumed in the syn thetic rubberized heads and sm!all bodies that caused 10 years of head scratching. ) Serving as a musical back ground for these beguiling crea tures are the familiar strains of such songs as “Over the Rain bow,” “We’re Off to See the Wi zard”, and “If I Only Had a •Heart.” The show, which costs well ov er a million dollars to produce, will be in the Coliseum Tuesday, Dec. 13, through Sunday, Dec.

Mr. Barham explained direct long distance dialing is not ac tually a new concept, the first exchange being put into opera tion in 1951 in Englewood, New Jersey. In 1958 the American j Telephone and Telegraph Com pany had some 887 exchanges in operation. American Telephone and Tele graph Company consist of some! 28 operation companies, of which Southern Bell is one, and serves some 60,000,000 telephones. The direct dial system covers the entire United States, inclu ding Hawaii and Alaska, Cana da, Puerto Kico, Mexico, and at one time Cuba. i Barham explained the territory covered is divided into areas or districts which have a code num ber (this area being 704) and each exchange in the oode area has an excnange number (such as the prefix 739 to Kings Moun tain numbers.) laycee Tree Sale Underway Kings Mountain J a y c e e s Tree Sale will get underway Thursday, according to John Wairlick, project chairman. The Christmas tree lot is lo cated again this year at the cor ner of Mountain and Cherokee a cross from Fulton’s Department Store. Chairman Warlick said Wed nesday he’d like for all Kings Mountain citizens to come by and see (the Jaycees for their tree this year, proceeds from the sale going to the community fund which is used in aiding needy families and the financing of the Little League Ball program. The trees, which are Canadian spruce, are priced according to size. Three to four foot trees will sell for $2.00 each; five to six foot trees, $2.50; and seven to eight foot trees, $3.00. Honey adds to the flavor, color, texture, aroma, and keeping quality of baked goods. The machine gave him back two quarters, four dimes and two nickels. Patrons in areas where direct dial is now in operation dial the area code in which the party de sired lives and then dial the full number of the party called — a total of 10 digits — and the par ty answers. The direct dial system is a ehieved by a highly intricate e leofcronic system which automa tically routes a patrons calls. The atomic age in Which we live poses the possibility that a major city could at any time be wiped out and telephone connec tion destroyed, Barham explain er, therefore, the system has built in the ability to select alter nate routes. If a call ordinarily routed thro ugh Chicago can ot foe completed I through that city, the electronic equipment automatically flips to [ another circuit and complete's connections. “Of course, this system is use ful not only in case of nuclear i attack,” Barham explained, “se vere weather often damages lines into key cities.” Mr. Barham reported the com pany had a great many problems with the conversion to the sys-j tem, such as transmission fade-1 outs Which necessitated “beefing up” the line to amplify voices and static caused by sun spots, but each problem has been iron ed out by resea ichors. Mr. Barham noted that Salis bury is the nearest city to Kings Mountain which has direct longj I distance dialing, but said the en tire area is scheduled for con version to the system in July of 1961.
