(UPII - Glen Gray, whose Casa Loma or chestra was for two decades one of the finest in the "big band" era, died Friday at Jordan Hos pital here. He was 63. Born in Roanoke. 111.. Gray- worked as a freight handler after he graduated from high school and played a saxophone in his spare time. He finally formed a group known as "Spike's Jazz Band." It was the beginning of a long musical career that led to the movies, a number of hit record ings and widespread popularity among tlie college set. Gray studied at the American Conservatory of Music after forming his first small group, then joined Jean Goldkette's "Orange Blossoms" as a saxo phone player. In 1929 the "Orange Blossoms" became the famed Casa Loma orchestra Gray retired and moved here in 1950. When the Casa Loma band was at the top, it played in virtually every top theater and dance pa vilion. Some of its famous recordings were "Smoke Rings," "It's the Talk of the Town." "No Name Jive" and "Casa Loma Stomp." Gray came out of retirement in 1936 to supervise a number of re cording sessions which featured the original Casa Loma "sound" as well as tributes to other bands of the 19.'i0's. His most recent al bum was released only two weeks ago. Many well known musical per sonalities at one time worked with Grav. Thov included Bix Beiderbccke. Mildred Bailey. Bobby Hacked. Sonny Dunham. Walter 'Pee Wee' Hunt. Kenny Sargent, Gene Gilford and Larry Wagner. Gray is survived by his widow. Marion, and a son. Douglas. vorcd spots. The source of Uic Sacramento River bursts from the ground to the west, and the Evcritt Memorial Highway car ries thousands of people every year up to Mt. Shasta. But at the northeast corner of this hill is a landmark that is famous, too. It is an old powder magazine. Like most powder magazines. this one carries a rounded roof and cast-iron doors. Made of rock, its rear end is rammed into the hillside. But unlike most powder houses, it was not built to hold explo sives used in mining or in railway construction. This house was built for the use of Henry J. Kaiser, famed industrialist. It is not well known that Kaiser in his earlier days was a con struction contractor. He built miles of U.S. Highway 99 and paved the streets of Mount Shasta. This was long before Kaiser built concrete ships, numerous hotels, pineapple plantations and automobiles. But his fame began with laying slabs of concrete over the streets we use here every day. Mount Shasta was a spring board from which he leaped to immortality. The picturesque powder magazine was one of his aids. One of Kaiser s aides was Winford Berg. Berg never left Mount Shasta. He developed the new subdivision, Christmas Mea dows Estate, which recently sold for the biggest, richest subdivi sion in Northern Calilnrma. Berg used that magazine in his labors for Kaiser. The old magazine is still ship shape and may well last for handling explosives for the sub division, going down in history as the old stone house that built Mount Shasta, paved it, then added to its growth. 60 Stricken BERKELEY, Calif.
