WATCH FOR BARGAINS IN THE BATTALION!! Franzen Bros, ‘mud show' takes hard work, laughtei Childhood dreams shine in traveling cm ANGLETON (AP) — Stand in the entrance to the red and yellow striped tent and you’ll see who loves the circus. It’s the little ones, the kids knee- high to an elephant, whose faces light up when they step beneath the big top. Circus life strikes most adults as odd — with its unrelenting schedule of one-day stands. It’s an old-fash ioned profession that doesn’t pay well in exchange for hours of back breaking labor. But most circus people aren’t in it for the money. Some are living out a lifelong desire to travel, to make people laugh or to work with ani mals. Like Wayne Franzen of Fran zen Bros. Circus, they’ve managed to find a vocation that holds true to a childhood dream of adventure. At a recent performance, Franzen stands surrounded by snarling tigers and woofing lions, orchestrating their leaps and rolls by a crack of his whip. Robust and handsome in a red vest crisscrossed with gold sequins, Franzen grins from ear to ear, on the verge of laughter, as the big cats do their tricks for an approving au dience. It’s not hard to imagine Franzen as a little boy growing up on a Wis consin dairy farm, listening to his fa ther tell stories about the Ringling Bros. Circus while he milked cows, or as the first grader who spent his free time in class with the “C” ency clopedia open to “circus.” “I was crazy about circuses when I was 6 years old,” he says. Thirteen years ago, Franzen quit his job as an industrial arts teacher and told his wife he was starting a circus. He began with a horse, a dog and a goat, and gradually expanded his menagerie to include camels, lla mas, burros, an Asian elephant and a herd of spotted ponies that are the envy of the circus world. At 40, Franzen is a happy man with no plans to return to a more conventio nal lifestyle. “Never is a long time,” he says, “but I don’t have any intention of doing it.” When the Franzen Bros. Circus pulls into the Brazoria County Fairgrounds, circus manager Art Cooksey and his wife Lorna are wait ing. Confusing twists in county roads and wrong turns forever plague a Texas "Wi point ortar ohnsf slun heh or Wedn< thougi had sf beach.

But 1 guess I’m having fun. ” — Wayne Franzen, circus owner traveling circus, so the Cookseys serve as scouts, communicating with the caravan by radio. The circus is late anyway, thanks to axle-deep mud at the previous show. As soon as the fleet arrives, however, Franzen wastes no time in pacing off the tent’s perimeters in yet another soggy field. Locations like these are the reason small cir cuses are called “mud shows.” With a crew of only 25, perform- With a crew ot only zb, pertorm- ers double as roustabouts, heaving wet tents, yanking ropes and hoist ing poles. Running a tractor, raising a tent, unloading animals, and untangling wadded ropes, Franzen’s attention is everywhere at once. “I guess that’s because I don’t know how to do it any other way,” he says. Wearing a leather harness, Okha the elephant provides pachyderm power, raising poles that support the big top and trumpeting loudly be tween mouthfuls of grass.

Crowd kept in aisles by female humorists at comedy program AUSTIN (AP) — Female humor has gotten a face lift, a former press secretary to Lady Bird Johnson said during a program showcasing six co medians and female humorists. To be humorous, women used to ridicule their bodies and their faces, Liz Carpenter said. “If powerful men have used hu mor as a tool on the podium, ordi nary women have used it as a tool in the kitchen and utility room,” she said. The program entitled “Funny Women: By Pen And Performance” included stage comediennes Fannie Flagg and Carol Channing. Liz Smith, a syndicated columnist, said women are now sharing in the fun that men once kept to them selves. “There has always been the idea that, along with being barefoot and pregnant, women are not as funny as men,” Smith said. “Well, that’s be cause they have not had enough time to sit around and bullshit.” Also on the panel were humor writers Nora Ephron, Florence King and Shana Alexander. Columnist Liz Smith moderated the program, the third annual Liz Sutherland Car penter Distinguished Lectureship in the Humanities and Sciences. An overflow crowd was kept laughing as each of the panelists re lated their stories of how they got started in the business. The crowd appeared particularly entertained by Flagg’s impression of Lady Bird Johnson, widow of the late President Lyndon Baines Johnson. “Look to yer left, look to yer right,” Flagg said with a Texas drawl. “Do yew see a thing of beauty. If not, plant a tree, a shrub or a bush.” Being funny, Ephron said, is like slipping on a banana peel. When it happens, people laugh at you. “But if you tell someone, it’s your joke,” she said. Ephron reported for the New York Post and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the screenplay to the movie “Silkwood.” “There are some kinds of people who do not have a sense of humor,” King said. “They are happy, opti mistic people who write postcards that say, The scenery is beautiful, wish you were here — parentheses, Ha Ha.’ If you know someone who puts Ha Ha in parentheses, get rid of them,” she said. She said at the height of the wom en’s movement she was writing por nography. “I got so sick of sex that one night when I got an obscene phone call I said, ‘Oh, don’t talk shop,’ ” King said without cracking a smile.
