TEENS TALK
BY Ronald SamueIs

The Youth and Young Adult
Choir of Sabatham Baptist Church
gave a party for Phillip Burnett,
(who is leaving for Winona State
College to take architectural
drafting) at the Cunningham resi-
dence.
Among those attending were
Marcia and Gordon Bruce, who
were responsible for the idea, Sher-
ry and Debby Clark, Danny Shack
leford, Harold Boudreau, Scott
Skinner, Albert Kitchen, Jeanette
ightfoot, Lee Copeland, Ester
Cunningham, Billy Martin, Al
Frost and Jimmy Lewis.
AS you can tell the girls had a
good time because there weren't
very many girls there to give them
competition. The people were doing
the Monkey" and Scott Skinner
was trying to teach dance that
he learned in Omaha, Nebraska.
A stranger from out of town was
also trying to teach a dance pop
ular in his home town. I couldn't
get the name Of our visitor for
you. Who are you?
The Great Escape" starring
Steve Mcqueen, James Garner,
Richard Attenborough is now play
ing at the Downtown Mann
theatre. 1t is a different type of
army picture that shows the Con-
centration camps as very nice
places for prisoners to live. The
Camp is for British, and American
officers, not just ordinary soldiers.
Richard Attenborough plays the
part of Roger, a British spy
whose job is to confuse and slow
up the enemy as much as possible.
Roger arranges the perfect es-
cape which has never been ac-
complished before.
James Garner plays an Amer
ican Air Force officer whose job
is to supply the men with tools
and all of their needs for building
the tunnel used in the Escape.
James Garner gets out in the end
Of the picture, and trying to get
to neutral territory has a very ex-
citing airplane ride. The special
effects and trick photography are
very good in these scenes.
Steve Mcqueen also plays an
American officer who is a "thorn
in the side" to the enemy. Steve
gets out of the camp but returns
to give vital information to the
British for use in the escape. This
part I find hard to believe because
the enemy gave Steve Mcqueen a
very hard way to CO."
Co-starring in this picture Is
Charles Bronson Of Empire"
fame. Charles Bronson dug the
tunnel used in the Escape"
The picture was good. '"The es-
cape" itself was a very interesting
climax to a movie that was good
enough to hold my interest which
is more than I can say for most
pictures of this nature. The cleo
tronic end of this production is
very good. There are spots where
the picture Is blurred but the spec
ia1 effects are very good.
RECORDS
"Fingertips" is falling down
after a very good stand. While in
Chicago got a chance to go to
the home of the boy whose taking
the number one spot away from
Little Stevie Wonder. His name is
Major Lance, and the record Is
'"The Monkey Time. I never fig
ured the Major Lance on the re-
cord and the kid I've known for
so long were one and the same. It
was a very good surprise.
Coming in second for all the
Monkey" dancers is the Ideals hit
Gorilla"
The record of the week to get
Tin my opinion) is Part Time
Love" by Little Johnny Taylor.
Judging by the acceptance of Part |
Time Love" in Chicago it will go
pretty well when it makes it's
radio debut here.
