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.

Barham Explains
Direct Dialing
Jack Bairham, Southern Bell
Telephone’s Kings Mountain ex
change manager, assisted by
Norman King outlined' the com
ing event of direct long distance
dialing to Kings Mountain Jay
eees as they met in regular ses
sion Tuesday night at Kings
Mountain Woman’s Olub.
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.
