It poses fornication as a remedy for a childless marriage in subur bia USA. The principal star and baby maker is Barbara Hershey (Tish). 1 Her portrayal is that of a 22- year-old flower child that's been around. Her past includes a brief escapade as a topless dancer in Vegas and previous baby making experience that “just happen.” Her life style is the stereotype hippie cult hideout consisting of grass, peyote, Andy Warhol-like films and love, love, love. Glenn Scott (Tate) represents her lover- companion who enjoys shirking responsibility and making leather jackets that retail for $50. His role isn’t sad, pathetic or relevant but does manage to take up time and space. The Establishment, middle class suburbia or “the enemy,” enters at this time in the form of Sam Groom (Jay) and Collin Wilcox- Horne (Suzanne). A well-off, stable and happy married young ish couple who happen to be childless, they purpose an absurd ly inept business proposition in volving Tish, Jay, Suzanne and $2,000-plus if it’s a boy. During Jay’s two-week vaca tion he and Tish are to “make a baby” while Suzanne gets to cook and clean like any good wife. I forgot to mention the three are almost inseparable. A close, on-the-surface rela tionship develops among the three parties climaxing at the end of nine wonderful (?) months and the birth of a son. Tish gets her money plus $100 because it’s a male child, Jay and Suzanne get his son free and 5:00 5:30 (NET) 3 (5) General Hospital 15 (12) Misterogers’ Neighborhood (NET) 3 (5) CBS News 15 (12) Sesame Street (PBS) 3 (5) Evening News 3 (5) Movie—to be announced 15 (12) Campus and Community Today 7:00 3 (5) The Great American Dream Machine (NET) 3 (5) Movie—‘Battle of the Bulge—Pt.

The photography is ho-hum and the performances are generally unrealistic and shallow, save for Miss Wilcox-Home. Her charac terization of the wife borders at points on realism. She at last registers pain. Miss Hershey never fully con nects with her character and plays her rather naively. Speak ing about Tish—she would have made a fine breeding cow. Sam Groom has nice blue eyes which he used throughout the pic ture as his main focal point. He has quite a ways to go and quite a lot to learn before they register expression. I admit the role of Jay was far from challenging, but it could have been played with greater depth. Lines and wrinkles would have helped, too. Glen Scott merits mention be cause I now know he can flex his muscles and break flower pots but that’s about all. The nude scenes (2) merited little more than derisive laughter. Aside from slighting mother hood and mocking intelligence, this ridiculous and totally un realistic move was a waste of gas. Throughout the entire picture I couldn’t help wondering why it never occurred to the author to just incorporate eugenics (artificial insemination) as a so lution to the entire triangle prob lem. I also got the feeling from the audience response that an attitude of “you’ve got to be kidding” pre vailed. .THE BUSIER AGENCY REAL ESTATE • IltSURANCE F.H.A.—Veteran* and Conveatiotul Lout ARM A HOME SAVINGS ASSOCIATION Home Office: Nevada, Mo.

S. begin sheep death probe GARRISON, Utah (TP) — More than 1,000 sheep are dead or dy ing of an undetermined cause on a remote ranch in western Utah, the Utah governor’s office said Thursday. The area is about 150 miles southwest of Skull Valley, where 6,400 sheep died in 1968 in a secret nerve gas test by the Army’s Dugway Proving Ground. The Army at first denied re sponsibility for the 1968 sheep deaths, but later acknowledged that nerve gas sprayed from an airplane had been the cause. State Veterinarian James Scho- enfield was dispatched to the site of the new sheep deaths via a Utah Highway Patrol plane. Two veterinarians from the U. S. Bu reau of Land Management also were en route. The sheep belong to Clarence Ingram of Nephi, Utah. They were grazing on Bureau of Land Management land about 25 miles south of Garrison, near the Neva da border. Ingram was not immediately available, but Cecil Rowley, who runs a service station in Garri son, said the sheep started dying Wednesday night. “One of the Ingram boys came in this morning raving that half his sheep had started dying dur ing the night,” Rowley said. The Ingram ranch is about 200 miles east of the Atomic Energy Commission’s nuclear test site at Mercury, Nev., where an under ground test broke through the earth’s surface last Dec. 18, spreading contaminated dust across Utah.
