The 14-months old girl, Carma Lee Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Hill, was left in the uiily car when it was parked near their home on the Ocean Beach highway six miles west of here.

It is interesting to mte how se rious the young people were in presenting their fun. They gave the audience the feeling of doing a labor of love, and even the light er moments reflected the deadly seriousness of their intent to be come stars. In a well-knit show, the song-ami-dance men, the comedians and the dancers presented a review of variety acts that ranged from the ridiculous to the sublime.' In the ridiculous category falls the take oH on "Death of A Salesman," in the guise of Winston Rust's red headed, light-fingered "Willie the Was.p' and his Kallikak family. In the sublime falls a dramatic "Dance of Sacrifice" staged by Choreographer Gloria Lee. Somewhere between the two falls the easy-going excellence of Emcee Mark Tapscott, who car ried the show's continuity but did not intrude upon its excellence with the inane remarks in the gen erally accepted manner of emcees. Show Dtcor Unique The show was presented in a unique manner, with tables placed about the floor in semblance of a supper club. Popcorn and soft drinks were sold and dancing in the center of the floor by the "diners" broke the ice at the be ginning of the evening. After an initial shyness, the audience got into the spirit of things, then sat back and relaxed to watch the floorshow. The names that appeared on the highly varied show may well be come familiar as these kids gain stature and experience. Names like Katy Taylor, song stylist; a young lady with a great deal of poise, who has made some TV appearances and has recently made a dual recording. L o a n n Morgan, who did an original read ing, "Someday," took her audience by surprise with the excellence of her presentation. Small and blonde, Miss Morgan has a voice ever which she has real mastery. A "natural" also is Don Finley, who entertained as the dead-pan magician, and who made brief appearances throughout the eve ning. Finley loves to be onstage. And the audience approved. Audrey Mistretta. Miss Oregon of 1952, was billed as the star of the revue, and offered two solo selections; "Since I Fell For You," and "Love For Sale." Her phras ing was good and the small audi torum made her songs even more intimate. She has a throaty, husky voice, which comes across nicely. Former Experience A brief word might be said about Tapscott, who has made an other appearance in Roseburg, when he played Don Gresham in "The Moon Is Blue." Tapscott has had previous ex perience in real supper clubs, and is completely at ease with his au dience. He plays a fine trumpet and offered something unusual in his trumpet-accordion arrange ment of "Dark Eyes." He is at tending the university, studying ff3 1 CARTER TIRE CO. 444 N.

No mere ama teur talent, this, but the promise of great stuff, Air Force Buys Tanker Planes By VERN HAUCLANO WASHINGTON An Air Force-order for its first jet tanker planes gave a boost Friday to the aircraft designed and built to be this nation s iirst jet airuuer. Secretary of the Air Force Tal bott announced late Thursday that the Air Force has decided to buy "a limited number" of Boeing jet tankers with which to refuel, in flight, America's big jet bombers. Talbott said the tankers will be an advanced version of the Boeing 707 four-jet transport which made its maiden flight July 15. Boeing Airplane Co., Seattle, gambled 15 million dollars in the development of the 707, on the possibility that (1) the Air Force would buy it as a tanker, and (2) the airlines would buy it for swift and smooth passenger transport. Airline executives have been watching the Boeing project close ly since the Seattle firm an nounced, four years ago, that it was going ahead without govern ment backing to develop jet trans portation. At that time the company de clared that domination of world aircraft markets was threatened by the lead of British and Cana din jet and turbo-prop aircraft, and that U. S. airlines might be forced to operate foreign equip ment. With the assurance of at least some military sales, Boeing may now be expected to proceed with an aggressive selling program di rected at the major airlines. $200 Penalty Levied On Drunk Driving Count Mack C.
