The Robert Anderson play, which ran three nights, consisted of four separate skits, bound together only by their common themes of sex and arguing. Act I, “The Shock of Recognition,” was an in teresting exchange between playwright Jack Barnstable (Leslie Denton) and his producer, Herb Miller (Kyle Kutach) over a scene Miller wanted to tone down. Barnstable refused to modify the scene, insist ing a frontal view of a not-so-well-endowed nude male would create a rapport with the men in the audience. The exchanges between Miller and Barnstable were believable and flowed naturally. Unfortunately, the entrance of Miller’s secret ary, Dorothy (Rhonda Blinderman), detracted from the continuity of the scene, with overplayed lines and motions. Richard Pawling (Isaac Vergara), a hopeful for the lead part in Barnstable’s play, was a real com ic. His entrance was weak, but after he got going, his antics kept me in stitches. He was the perfect example of the man who’d do anything to get the part. Act II, “The Footsteps of Doves,” takes place in the mattress department of a furniture store be tween a man and his wife, who — after 25 years of sleeping on a double bed — have decided to get twin beds. Or at least, they think they’ve decided. George (Keith Barber) tries to convince Harriet (Terry Vaughn) that he may lose interest in sex if she doesn’t sleep next to him, but she insists that Review her back will suffer if she doesn’t have a firmer mattress. Annoyed, she goes to another part of the store, leaving George to choose his bed. Enter Jill (Ghris Warren) — sweet young thing. George doesn’t have to worry about losing in terest in sex. Act III, “I’ll be Home for Christmas,” was the most touching scene. The casting of Chuck (Kyle Owen) and Edith (Carole J. Hargis) was excellent. They were, without a doubt, the most believable characters in the production. Edith comes in from shopping to find Chuck mysteriously home from work early, drinking beer, smoking cigars, listening to records an staring into space — things he never does. Their differing views on their children’s se education led to a heated argument that kept m clenching my fists. Chuck insists that some things, including sex only retain their meaning if they are kept on personal basis; however, some of his argument seemed like ways of evading a touchy subject. Edith believes that the more sex is discussed the less dirty it will seem to the children. She seems to be winning the argument unti their daughter, Clarice (Rhonda Blinderman), re veals the contents of a letter from her brother a college who says he’s leaving college so he won’ end up like his father. As the scene closed, the looks of pain or Chuck’s face and compassion on Edith’s told mort than words could say. Act IV, “I’m Herbert,” was a lively scene be tween an old couple who have been married sc many times and have lost enough of their capacit> for memory that they can’t keep each other’s names straight. Herbert (Art Reinking) and Muriel (Sheryl Croix) — kept me in stitches for the entire skit. Their dialogue was lively and never faltered. 1 don’t know how they kept it straight — Tm sure they practiced long hours — but I was confused the whole time.

The Court also approved payment of $443.75 to College Station and $431.67 to Bryan for fire calls made in the county outside the cities. Commissioners expressed con cern about fire hazards caused by the use of fireworks during the upcom ing Fourth of July holiday in light of the recent hot, dry weather. Bryan and College Station have ordinances banning the sale or use of fireworks inside their city limits. “I certainly hope that people will refrain from firing fireworks in the county,” Holmgreen said. The commissioners discussed ban ning the sale or use of fireworks in Brazos County, but no action was ^ taken. In other business, the Court approved the final plat of La Brisa, Phase II, subject to the approval of the City of Bryan, and the final plat of University Industrial Center, Phase I, subject to the approval of College Station. The preliminary plat of Old Span ish Trail Estates was approved by the commissioners. The contract between the Communication Workers of America and General Telephone Company of the Southwest was ratified Saturday by CWA members. Bill Erwin, division manager for GTE, said Monday that he had not yet received the details of the agreement, but he expected to receive them sometime today. CWA workers have been phased back into their jobs by seniority following last month’s strike. The final group of workers returned last week. Ballots were mailed to union members to vote on ratification of the contract as they started back to work. “Everyone is back at work now,” Erwin said. “Everything is going al smooth.” Erwin said he was glad the contract had been ratified. “I am extremely pleased with the fact that it has been ratified, ” he ud. “I think that says that it is probably a fair contract.” Among the issues in last month’s strike were employee benefits such as sick pay, workman’s compensation and insurance. About 400 local workers were out during the strike, and about 8,000 were affected in the four-state area served by GTE. )on’t leave pooch in car; rees, shade better, vet says 44 A POSITIVE" <15 MINUTES Wadley Central Blood Bank 1 t 1 t 1 1 t yiiR BORNE i IHE DIFFICULT WE DO IM-f [ "THE MEDIATELY, THE IMPOSSIBLE TAKES A LITTLE LONGER" AGENT AERO AIR FREIGHT SERVICES WE DO MORE THAN DELIVER YOUR PACKAGE OVERNIGHT WE GUARANTEE IT! 150 CITIES $22.11 UP TO 2 LBS.

When temperatures inside a closed auto soar to 140 degrees or more, the pets inside quickly suc cumb to often-fatal heatstroke, Play ter said. People should just use common sense,” he explained. “I don’t think they realize how quickly a car heats up in this weather when the windows are rolled up. The best advice is not to do it.” When penned in the back yard or elsewhere outside, pets should have a shady retreat and plenty of water available to them, he added.
