Such wonderful opportuni-
ties are given to pupils of to-
day. Such was not so a few
years back. Daily attendance
was the goal with nothing in
terfering. Today field trips are
found as educational as the
daily grind and add much jest
to the work of students. On
Wednesday the Junior High
basketball team, along with
cheer leaders and one section
of the eighth grade went to
Wilmington for a return visit
with Warner Junior High. For
a part of the day they attended
classes with the students and
then the game took place. The
next day one hundred and two
pupils of the Senior High
Chorus and the High School
Band went to Philadelphia
where they were guests at the
Bartram Hotel over night.
They attended the opera La
Boheme" at the Academy of
Music last night and this
morning was a free time for
their own diversion. This af-
ternOon they will enjoy the
Philadelphia Symphony Or
chestra with Eugene Ormandy
conducting. Mahler's Second
Symphony will be a part of the
program in which a choral
group and a solOist will be add
ed attractions. They will re-
turn this evening. They are
accompanied by George G.
Messick, John Bunnell, M. "A.
Glasmire, Mrs. J. Raymond

rich opportunity for music ap-
probation and real pleasure!

DELAWAREANS TRAIL - New
Jersey residents who are buying
new shoppers cut-rate ticket books
for use on the Delaware Memorial
Bridge outnumber Delawareans al
most two to one.
OF 900 books sold since they be-
came effective on Feb. /, Jerseyites
bought 348 and Delaware drivers
only 179. Pennsylvanians bought 80
and Maryland residents five.
G. Lester Daniels, bridge general
manager, said the sale to New Jer-
sey persons indicates that the
bridge is attracting shoppers to
Wilmington.
Mr.. Daniels said he believed the
lower number Of sales to Delaware
ans resulted from misunderstand-
ing that the books were not being
sold to drivers of this state. He
noted they are for sale to anyone.
The books, containing 10 single
trips, are priced at $3.50. The regu-
lar one-way toll is IS cents. Al
though the books become effective
on the first Of every month, they
may be bought at any time in a
month.
Mr.. Daniels announced that b2,-
O2I vehicles crossed the bridge over
the weekend, 1889 hn Friday,

The Switch Has Bequn
The TelefiIm Makers Turn to Color
Against the Arrival of Tinted TV'
By Wayne Oliver


Some of the television movie
makers already are switching to
color so later reruns Of their
programs can be seen in rain
bow hues when color sets are
in use.
The second and third run
has become as important for
TV films as for regular movies,
and the producers have to
think in terms of the situation
months from now when color
sets start moving into homes.
With color programming at a
premium in the early stages.
their color films should be
prime attractions all over
again.
xiv Television Programs. a
major producer of TV films,
has been doing its Cisco Kid"
in color for about four years.
1t now shoots master color
films of that show as well as
Boston Blackie," Adolph Men,
jou's "Favorite Story" and
others. although sending out
black and white prints for cur
rent use.
Motion Pictures for Tele-
vision is shooting master color
films of it's upcoming video
version of "Duffy's Tavern"
and will do the same for Ella
Raines' new Janet Dean.
Registered Nurse"
Guild Films will switch to
color film with the next series
of Liberace programs on which
shooting starts in January,
and is considering the same
treatment for its Life With
Elizabeth"
Others Woit
Screen Gems reports it is not
yet ready to switch to color
for Ford Theater" but has
been doing a great deal of ex-
perimental shooting and could
begin at any time. 1t has been
making some industrial films
in color for TV use, as well
as color TV filmed CONNER
cials.
Likewise, there are no imme--
diate plans for color for II
Love Lucy" But Stars Lu-
cille Ball and Desi Arnaz ex-
pect to learn a lot from their
recently completed feature
length color movie for MGM,
'The Lo~". Long Trailer"
The Film Division is
among Ie taking a more
cautious attitude and plans to
stick to black and. white for
most of its filmed shows
Evening star., 1953-12-13

through the coming year. One
reason is to await further de-
velopment of the parent Ra-
dio Corporation of Americas
magnetic recording of color
TV.
Meanwhile, color TV re-
mains many months away for
most set owners. With Fed
eral Communications Com
mission approval of regular
color operations expected mo-
mentarily, the prospects still
are for only limited color tele-
casting and a relative trickle
of sets for many months to
come.
Between Operations
The script for Rod Brown
of the Rocket Rangers" on
CBS-TV literally is written
between operations.
The authors are DR.. Jack
Weinstock, practicing surgeon.
and Willie Gilbert. onetime
vaudeville performer and ship
ping clerk. They do their writ
ing at night on week ends so
as not to interfere with DR..
Weinstock's regular practice.
The writing team and Gil
bert's daughter Barbara, now
7, were born at the same time.
DR.. Weinstock was the attend
ing physician for Mrs. Gilbert
at Barbara's birth.
DR.. Weinstock had been
writing since his Columbia
University days, but as q
hobby. Gilbert. a Clevelander
and Ohio State graduate, also
liked to write and was chafing
a bit at his clerical work with
a family firm here. and anx-
ious to return to show buSi-
ness.
Sell Almost All
Discovering they had a mu-
tual hobby. DR.. Weinstock and
Gilbert got together later and
decided to try to write some
thing to sell. They began with
a sketch for a trio at the Roxy
Theater here and since then
we've sold practically every
thing we've ever written"
Subsequently they wrote
material for night club acts.
Broadway plays and a number
of TV variety shows.
Since they switched to space
travel, they have read count
less. volumes on the subject,
haunted the Hayden Plane
tarium, and attended numer-
Gus scientific symposiums.
We've had to-" says DR..
Weinstock. THE kids are we'll
up on their space and astron-
omy.
I'VE can't write down to
them. We're amazed at what
they know"
Now that they've become ex-
perts in the field, what do
they think of the prospects
for any of their scripts ever
coming true?
I'VE are firm believers that
man will travel in space, that
people will be able one day
to trave to other planets" says
Gilbert.
This is much nearer than
people realize" adds DR.. Vein
stock.
