year for agriculture. He pointed

Bad Imbalancc
There is a bad mbalance as
far as agriculture is concerned, y
he said. In 1858. farmers re-

He described parity as the fair
price for farm products, accord
ing to- most farm authorities. It
is a price arrived at by compar-
ing the cost of things to the pllr-

just like big sisters were modelled

Candy Sands wore "grown-up"

Youngest Girl In
The Jones Family
Acquires A Pooka

Something new has been added
to Dur. house - namely a "pooka".
II all started Monday night when
the kids say Harvey" at the Barn
Theatre. No one but the smallest
frysactually saw him - but she did
and went off to school this morn
ing singing 'It's Just Another Poo
ka.f
Which is something of a tribute
to Jack Clarke's acting ability -
although it is slightly annoying to
have a rabbit as ''big as you, dad
dy" underfoot all day. He was
sleeping late this morning and /
was ordered not to disturb him
"because he is tired"
So the bed didn't get made until
after noon when he was told to
get up because "sister is having a
birthday party and the house has
to be straight" guess he did, but
the porch light was turned on so he
could find his way home tonight.
But let's face it - the Players
production of Harvey" is good and
even in its second week the cast
manages to keep it fresh and have
added some hilarious bits of ''bus-
iness" that make it even funnier.
Barbara Anastasia playing ''Myr-
tie Mae" is turning in very good
performance and David Meneghel's
"Dr. Sanderson" isn't quite so STUFF
fly. Maybe it's Lari Monroe's hum
anizing influence as kelly" or
maybe Harvey had something to
do with it.
Cmdr. Pierce and Gertrude
Splaine as DR.. Chumley and his
wife Betty are far more at ease
than they were the first night, and
the akron" scene remains one of
the highlights of the play.
Even the stage crew has gotten
things well in hand and the rather
complicated scene changes are ham
led much faster and better.
The play closes Saturday night
and as holiday entertainment it
can't be topped. --SUzY

|. The stage at the Parish Hall was
decorated to resemble toy shop
and as the show opened "charac-
ter dolls" so dear to child's
heart were seated around small Ia
bles and as appropriate music was
played, each doll came to life and
walked out the ramp to show what
Santa had planned for this years
Christmas Tree.
Young Rob Campbell showed that
small boys are not forgotten when
Santa plans his dolls - he was
ian old cowhand" and for big sis
ter, Marcia Nonnemacher was
dressed as a cowgirl doll.
With dolls getting bigger every
year, Beverly Sue Jones was a
big "sailorette" doll while Rag
gedy Ann" was Faye Huenefeld
who not only modelled but gave a
clear reading about the doll she
portrayed.
Linda Nonnemacher was present
ed as the dancer from "The Tin
Soldier" in military ballet that
was well received.
After the doll revue, Miss Ruth
Ann Kearns, accompanied by Char
les Lord, sang several numbers
while the dolls" were getting
dressed for tea party.
Then all dressed up they came
out one by one in their Sunday
best. Rob Campbell was the "star"
of this scene. He wore brown slackS
and a yellow shirt with western
motif and once when it looked like
one of the dolls was going to be
late for the party, Master Rob
solved matters with a second show
ing of his smart little outfit.
Marilyn Biaza modelled a "spe-
cial occasion" dress of sheer white
nylon trimmed with lace and rose
buds. Julie Taylor showed a smart
navy checked taffeta featuring a
''horse and carriage" leather belt
and Media Jean CAROLS striped
chambray was highlighted with
orange covered buttons and minia-
ture oranges at the neckline.
Suits are popular with the young
er set - especially if it happens to
be the red corduroy with western
trim - fringe and all, worn by
Marcia Nonnemacher or the tail
ored navy blue suit with jumper
top and pleated skirt shown by
Cheryl Curry.
Bobby Ladd would be a popular
escort for any young lady in his
beige plaid suit with bow tie to
match, and Robin Jones blue and
white print dress featured little po-
licemen under lamp posts. The CO.
lors were reversed on the deep
collar.
Tiny Ann Armfield wore a soft
red cotton trimmed with black and
white checked gingham and lace
- over crinoline piped in red, and
Linda Nonnemacher's pink and ma
Wy taffeta dress was styled with
double collar with narrow velvet
bow for contrast.
An all occasion dress of deep
pink cotton with lace insertion in
the bodice was worn by Shannon
Jones and Celinda Davis modelled
a polka dot nylon taffeta with mat
ching slip. Lizzie Nonnemacher
showed navy quilted taffeta skirt
and red turtle neck jersey blouse
with unusual sleeve detail.
Sturdy school and play clothes
are a necessity - even for dolls
- and John Armfield's khaki shorts
and brown knit T shirt were design
ed to take it,.
For rainy day, Paulie Taylor
modelled a plaid plastic raincoat
with hood and matching umbrella
and Faye Huenefeld chose a bright
red cotton accented with white Pc
!, ter Pan collar and black and white
checked trim.
