NEW YORK.

She's one of the most important
personages in television, yet no
one sees her at her table. She's
young, pretty, curvaceous and
pulls some mighty important
strings.
Rhoda Mann, 24-year-old New
Yorker, is the guiding hand of the
popular puppet Howdy Doody
Out of sight to televiewers, Rhoda
deftly manipulates Howdy's every
movement. She has been per-
forming these artistic chores ever
since the program started in De-
cember. 1947.
She doesn't make Howdy talk,
however. Bob Smith, originator of
Howdy, does that.
Rhoda became interested in
marionettes and puttets when she
was ten years old. Her father was
a manufacturer Of dolls. One eve
ming Papa Mann brought home
three little marionettes and gave
them to Rhoda. She played with
the figures and taught herself to
work the strings until she became
adept. Rhoda still has those mar
ionettes end cherishes them as if
they were ruby studded orna-
mentS.

dramatic, Rhoda studied acting
singing and dancing and yearns
someday to do a musical comedy
on the Broadway stage-if Howdy
will let her.
Rhoda's first break came when
she answered an ad in a New York
paper for a puppeteer to do shows
in store windows. Later she
worked for a travelling musical
puppet show.
When Howdy Doody started on
television almost five years ago,
Rhoda was one of the original "be-
hind d-the-scenes" cast. The show
then was called "Puppet Play
house" but soon switched to How
dy Doody.
Rhoda loves Howdy and some
times feels that he's real person
Some of the parents in the
studio audience are surprised to
see a girl manipulating Howdy
Some of the younger kids look up
at Rhoda and exclaim That's
Howdy Doody's mommy!"
Just a few weeks ago Rhoda left
the show for a short vacation in
Bermuda, her first in more than
two years. It was more than a
mere vacation, it was her honey
moon. Her husband, Robert
Winkler, a production supervisor
for a TV film outfit, was Rhoda's
first dramatic teacher.

There is news, for instance, OF
Mary Coyle Chase's "Bernadine. .
which is due at the National
sometime in late September, prior
to its Broadway bow. 1t is now
definite that Guthrie McClintic
will produce as well as direct
Mrs. Chase's successor to Mrs.
McThing," her latest hit.
Either of two young actresses,
Kim Hunter or Meg Mundy,
would satisfy McClintic'S idea OF
the leading character in the play
OF the two, Miss Hunters reputa-
ton is the more sparkling, has
been ever since her impact as the
sister of Blanche Dubois in "A
Streetcar Named Desire"
Miss Hunter has been doing
very we'll in Hollywood in the last
season or so, however, not only
in "Streetcar" but in the COM
edy Anything Can Happen" in
which she also had a fair for
the lighter side of life. A play
by Mrs. Chase, however, should
hold a strong attraction for any
young actress. Her Mrs. Nc
Thing" has just set record for
its IS performances at Central
City, Colo, after turning into a
Broadway hit last season that
even Helen Hayes, its star, did
not bargain for.

PANHANDLE FLYERS WIN TWO GAMES HERE

Al though the Flyers could have run up the score more, the Sew ard Sea Hawks did play out standing ball after the first quar- ter. Doc Johnson, long-shot ar list, put on another demonstra- tion of his long-shot Wizardry and led the Flyers with 13 points. Lindsey and Boe, with 9 points each, led the Sea Hawks.
 Sunday afternoon the Flyers defeated the Ramblers, local City League team, in a hard fought game 42-41. Deller led the Flyers in this game with II points and Donnie Sanders was high for the Ramblers with 12 points. Ray Anderson scored 9 and Gene Thorne, 8,

Sec HaWks Fi9ht MclemuTes To The Las+ Second Of pIGy
By Don DaIberq

Fairbanks High School cap turcd both games from fight ing inexperienced Sea Hawk quintet Dec. 10 and II at the Civic Center gym, 56-33 and 5440. The experiences and un- canny shooting of the taller Malcnutes proved little too much for the scrappy Sea Hawks.
 The Sea Hawks worked the ball well in both games but their defensive play was spotty. In the first game Fairbanks scored several times on fast breaks with Frank Morrison, who was high point man for the game with 70 points. leading the way, Seward had many good shots but was unable to connect for decent percentage. Billy EVins with 3 points was high for the Sea Hawks.
 The second game showed vastly improved Sea Hawk team and. except for brief periods, fought Fairbanks to standStlli However. the Malcmutes dis played uncanny shooting ability in this game and together with their experience and height ad- vantage was little too much for the game and scrappy Sca Hawk five. Sharpshooting Joe Tremarello led Fairbanks with 19 points. Dale Lindsey, playing sterling game. was high fer Seward with 14 points.
 This is undoubtedly one of Fairbanks High Schools finest teams in recent years and it is unfortunate that more Seward people didn't turn out for these games to see this really fine high school team. Considering their lack of experience Seward per formed admirably, especially in the second game and Fairbanks had to really put out to Wln. The crowds for the games were disappointing and the Sea Hawks could certainly have used more support. and more encourage ment from additional fans would have helped considerably.

In compliance with recon mendations of the fire chief, several safety measures will be undertaken in the high school building this month. Re wiring and replacement of the electric control panel that is at present in the furnace room is to be the first move. The panel will be placed in the unused coal bin, which will be made into room for janitor's supplies and sep arated from the furnace room. The furnace room will then be fireproofcd.
 In addition to the regular monthly expenses, the School Board approved payment of S6,243.05 to Seward Plumbing & Heating Company for con version of the heating system to the use of light fuel oil. The new burner was completed in No VCmDer and in the time 1t has been in operation, November Is to December l, the saving in oil was $l31 40, MT. Carl Carlson reported.
