Giant Celebration Set In Shakespeare Town By TOM A CUIAEN Newspaper Enterprise Assn. STRATFORD-UPON - AVON, England (NEA) This sleepy market town is getting ready for the biggest Shakespeare orgy in history, the celebration of the 400lh anniversary o( Shakespeare's birth in 1064. "Orgy" is the only word to describe the preparations that are afoot here. Whole streets are being restored to their ori ginal Elizabethan appearance by the removal of billboards and other eyesores. The souvenir shops are stock ing vast quantities of drinking mugs bearing Shakespeare's image, and the visitor can now buy tea towels with the bard's balding dome embroidered on them. Hotels are stocking wine cel lars to cater to the million visi tors expected next year. The Judith Shakespeare Tearoom, named after the poet's daugh ter, who lived there f o r 40 years, has been turned into a hamburger bar as a concession to modern appetites. Shakespeare, is the nearest thing to a major industry that Headaches Greatest Joy Killer NEW YORK (UPI) Psy chiatrists worry about holiday emotional outbursts they refer to as the "Christmas Syn drome." The victims claim they hate Santa and all else connected with the holiday. But a survey of family phy sicians points to the headache as the greatest joy killer. Contrary to popular belief, the kinds of headache likely to disrupt festivities are not nec essarily related to over-indulgence in food and drink. Most of the victims are women in the prime of life. Physicians specializing in headache research collaborated for survey purposes with scien tists in the laboratories of San er, N.Y. They reported that migraine and other vascular type head aches are the chief culprits. They classified them as follows: classic migraine, common mi graine, menstrual migraine, clus ter headache. Practicing physicians cooper ating in the research effort said the victims of migraine and similar headache have such a long acquaintance with severe pain they may attempt to take the holiday headache in stride, convinced that "nothing can be done about it." Something can be done, par ticularly in preventing head ache onset, according to the researchers. Avoidance of activities which cause anxiely and exhaustion are basic recommendations. Also there's now available a tablet, via doctor's prescrip tion, for preventing recurrent migraine and other vascular headaches. The tablet does not relieve pain, however, once it starts. As for holiday headaches re sulting from too much of good things, even the scientists rely on aspirin and the ice pack. Cocut-tc-Gmt NEWSPAPERS' SHI THE MOST!! KM Stratford (population 16.0001 can boast. Last year "bardolatry," as the cult of Shakespeare is sometimes called, netted Strat ford more than e $l'i million. Next year, " with bardolators converging on Stratford from all corners of the globe, the town expects to triple its take. Visitors, in turn, will be of fered a variety of entertain ment. There will be Shake peare exhibitions and Shake speare plays iseven of the bard's historical dramas will be acted at the Memorial Theatre herel. Sandwiched in between will be concerts, poetry recitals, lectures, films, folk songs and folk dances. "A Surfeit of Shakespeare, you might call it," a local townsman remarked, and add ed, "By the time it's all over 1 expect to shoot the first per son who dares mention y o u-know-who's name." Shakespeares international appeal is the theme of n e x t year's celebration, in contrast to the 300th anniversary in 1864, which the Victorians made an occasion of sentimental hero worship. To emphasize his universal appeal seven of the world's great theatrical companies have accepted invitations to perform in London in the bard's honor in the spring. These in clude the Moscow Art Theatre, France's Comedie Francaise, Ireland's Abbey Theatre, and West Berlin's Schiller Theatre. The Royal Shakespeare Com pany of Stratford, in turn, will send two productions "King Lear" and "A Comedy of Er rors'on a world tour. Other special events, such as the issue of commemorative postage stamps, are planned. This is the first time that the British government has so hon ored any individual other than a sovereign. A major problem will be ac commodating the huge influx of visitors expected at Stratford. The Shakespeare Hotel, for ex ample, is nearly booked-up for the summer season. This hotel is Stratford's nearest aoproach to whimsy, its rooms being named after Shakespeare plays. One drinks in a cocktail lounge called "Measure for Measure." afterwards sleeps in a double bedroom "As You Like It." There is also the Shakespeare Garage, whose mechanic com plains, "I'm fed up with guvs who come in and ask, 'Is this where he kept his car?'

OPEN TODAY For Your Convenience I A.M. till 6 P-M- House of Shoes and Drews Manstore TOWN and COUNTRY SHOPPING CENTER One Of Nation's Oldest LOGTOWN, Miss. UPl -One of the nation's oldest and smallest post offices, a faded frame building furnished with a wood stove, a rolltop desk and a rocking chair, is giving way to America's space pro gram. Mrs. Lollie-B. Wright closed the office recently after serv ing 36 years as postmistress in the 209-square foot building here in the backwoods of south west Mississippi. The building will be demol ished or moved to make sure it is not used as a dwelling within the huge buffer zone set up for testing Saturn space boosters. It is just one of many old buildings being torn down or hauled away to clear a Ml,-500-acre area for the static firing of moon rockets. Logtown, once a thriving lum ber community on the Pearl River, is one of five towns that will be wiped out to make way for the test firings. The Nation al Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration (NASA) wants to make sure no dwelling units re main in the buffer zone because vibrations from the tremendous firing noises might shatter the buildings. NASA officials say noises from the static firings will be greater than from actual launchings because the rockets will be bolted to the pad and will not be released, confining all noise to the ground. All persons living in the buf fer zone must be evacuated by next July, but Mrs. Wright de cided on an early closing of the post office. Waiting until next year would reduce her retirement benefits. "Anyway, I don't look forward to another Christmas mail rush," the little white haired postmistress said. Her last day at the post of fice was Mrs. Wright's busiest in years. Collectors flooded her with specially printed envelopes and stamps to be cancelled on the last day of existence for the 80-year-old post office. When Logtown was a boom ing lumber town after World War I the post office handled hundreds of letters daily. But the depression and dwindling lumber supplies ended the boom and mail volume in ' recent years was as little as 30 pieces per day. Closing day was different, "I cancelled about 200 stamps that day," Mrs. Wright said. "They wanted me to cancel about 500, but I said I couldn't," she add ed, her hands still shaking from the excitement of the closing day. In its last days, the post of fice was a study in contrasts between the days of the wood stove and the age which is bringing millions of dollars of new roads, new buildings, new canals and moon rockets to these sparsley populated piney woods. Next to dust - covered books from the 1930s were the post of fice's new zip number promo tion leaflets.

The "guys" he was referring to were Germans, members of on the post office porch was a poster advertising a K-0 polio campaign. The post office had one room for Mrs. Wright to work in and a small foyer for residents to pick up their mail. A wood stove remained in use for heat or burning trash. A rolltop desk contained books that went back to 1935. A rocking chair pro vided a place for Mrs. Wright to read mail order catalogs and her Bible. On the wall was a huge framed certificate signed by President Calvin Coolidge. Dat ed Jan. 27, 1927, it named Mrs. Wright postmistress of Logtown. Behind the frame rested a Bay St. Louis newspaper, dated Aug. 12, 1938. It carried the story of the death of Mrs. Wright's sister. The bottom of the rolltop desk was faded badly, a result. of a 1961 flood that brought more than a foot of Pearl Riv er water into the post office and forced Mrs. Wright to dis tribute mail elsewhere for three days. That flood was one of the biggest disasters in Logtown history. But it took the 1947 hurricane to halt Airs. Wright's mart service for one day the only time it was interrupted in her 36 years.

Today, West Germany's 28,000- man navy helps protect the NATO flanks in the North Sea and the Baltic. Its air force is a vital link in NATO defenses. And the army, the real German bul wark, has more than 240,000 men, with a planned peak strength of 12 divisions. On the 20th anniversary of the American Army's entry into Western Europe, the inevitable question still comes up about the wisdom of the re-birth of military forces which once terrorized Eu rope.

"By Monday the water was gone but the place was filled with mud from that old black river." Mail once was delivered to the post office directly from the river. At one time it was delivered twice a day. "That was wonderful for a place like this," she said. Old green shades, each full of holes, hang over the three windows in the building. "Don't pull them, the whole thing might come down," Mrs. Wright cautioned. Attached to the front of the building and extending above the rusty tin roof was a paint ed tree branch the post of fice flag pole. Raising and low ering the flag was another of Mrs. Wright's jobs. "This was a meeting place for Logtown." she said. "Every body came here." Well, not everybody. Mrs. wright personally delivered mail to residents who were too old or ill to get to the post office. "Teople depended on me for a lot of things," she said. Now Mrs. Wright is moving to nearby Pearlington. where she was raised. She appeared to be taking in stride the closing of the post office, her retirement and the condemning of Logtown.
