Page 2-THE GAZETTE Saturday, November 22, 1969 Council Will Hold 2 Hearings Monday City Council will conduct two public hearings at its meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday as well as confirm the appointment of a new city electrical inspector prior to resuming budget discussion. City Manager Karl Samek is expected to ask the council to confirm the appointment of Walter Breckling, 61, as electrical inspector, effective Dec. 1. Breckling will replace Rex Ridley who is retiring as electrical engineer with the building inspector's department.

A native of Davenport, Iowa, Breckling came to Janesville in 1946. He was in business for himself here until 1961 when he was hired as an electrician by the city. Breckling and his wife, Maurietta, live at 1253 N. Martin Road. One of the public hearings is on a proposed ordinance permitting Total TV to sell advertising time and the other on an ordinance repealing the city's liquor code.

The liquor code amendment will permit tavern operation above or below ground level and comes in light of plans by owners of the King's Pub to operate a rathskeller. A.restaurant also is planned in the basement of the Helgesen Building at Main and Milwaukee streets. A third ordinance also will be introduced calling for a raise of monthly fees charged to mobile trailer home owners located in the city. The present $10 fee will go to $15 if the ordinance is approved. Council already gave preliminary approval during recent budget discussions, but a public hearing will be held before final action is taken.

The city administration estimated the increased fee will bring in another $16,000 revenue. Four Scotch Families To Leave Monday; Enjoyed Stay in City Four of five Scotchmen and their families, all of whom were "warmly greeted" by the people of Janesville during their five months here, will leave for home Monday. The men came to Janesville in July for a training program instituted by Giddings and Lewis and its local subsidiary. Oilman Engineering and Manufacturing Co. Giddings and Lewis have a subsidiary plant in Arbroeth, Scotland, and four men from that city and one from Dundee, Scotland, came here to be trained in their respective fields.

Reynold King, Kennedy Fraser, Douglas Crockatt and Douglas Philp and their families will leave but Jim Balfour will stay an additional two weeks. They all agreed, however, that Janesville was a warm and impressive place. "We weren't too suprised by the United States," said Fraser, "as it probably is the best publicized nation in the world. We have seen and read so much about the U. S.

Many of the television programs in Scotland are purchased from the United States so we had become well acquainted with the States," he said. Fraser said Arbroeth is about twice as small as Janesville and the homes are bunched together much more than here. "The weather is more extreme here, expecially the heat in July," said Fraser. Children Enjoy School "One thing that struck me," said Balfour, "was the friendliness of the people. Everyone welcomed us warmly and offered to help in any way possible," he said.

King complimented the staff of Oilman's and said that they were "most helpful and I'd like to give a little thanks to them." The cleanliness of Janesville impressed the Scottish visitors. "It is very clean, more so than some other Wisconsin cities." Crockatt said he was impressed by the way his children adapted to the American schools and the way they worked at their studies. "They seem to get much more work here, but strangely enough, they seem to enjoy it more," he said. "I think they get more individual attention here," he said. Fraser said however, there was one thing he homemade Scottish bread.

"The United States bread is just not the same," he said. Watched Pro Football The men agreed that American bacon was 75 per cent fat, but that it "tastes good." Square dancing was an American pastime the Scots took up with enthusiasm. Fraser, Crockatt and King were made honorary members of a local square dancing club. Watching pro football was an activity Balfour enjoyed. He is planning on traveling to Chicago this weekend to see the Bear-Colt contest.

Fraser, however, thought American football was too slow. "They are forever calling time, even when a man is injured," he said. "In Scottish rugby, time out is rarely called, even when a man is hurt." Balfour said Oilman's automatic assembly system has a very bright future in Scotland. UW-Rock One-Act Plays Offer Seldom Seen Freshness, Sparkle If every television program and every movie has a monotonous similarity, you will find that the two one- act plays currently playing at the University of Wisconsin-Rock County offer a freshness, variety, and humor not often seen in Janesville. Director Felicia Londre's productions of "The Love of Don Perlimplin With Belisa in the Garden" by the Spanish playwright Frederico Garcia Lorca and "The Eiffel Tower Wedding Party" by the French author Jean Cocteau are refreshing additions to the culture of Janesville.

Mrs. Londre has schooled her casts well in an unfamiliar form, resulting in fanciful fun. Unusual sets and humorous, imaginative costuming add immeasurable pleasure. In "The Love of Don Perlimplin" the white paper lace valentine screens which serve as the background and the black and white costuming symbolize the two aspects of love, the spiritual and the physical. To Belisa love is the pure desire to be found with many men.

To Don Perlimplin love is sacrificially giving happiness to the beloved. The buffoon becomes heroic when he kills himself to win his wife's love. The small cast handled the difficult roles admirably. Robbyn Haynes made a stunning senora. She ranged from demure to coquettish, from submissive to violent while always remaining provocative.

Tom Allen's Don Perlimpin was most sympathetic in his death scene. Early in the play his buffoon was more like a fussy old man. Garrett Summers has the small part of Belisa's mother but she shone brightly. Pat Thom was a very practical, sympathetic housekeeper. Two sprites, Jeanene Van Tassell and Paula Tourtillott moved and spoke and looked like fairies as they moved scenery and commented on the action.

Once the audience adjusted to the stylized production, they were quite moved by the tragic love of Don Perlimplin for Belisa. In contrast "The Eiffel Tower Wedding Party" gave the audience a trip into surrealistic gaity. The costumes, all made by the students, were the outstanding feature, and the humor carrie through in the fine pantomining. Each character wore a grotesque mask which caricatured the portrait. The gaudy, baggy, distorted suits and dresses added to the circus atmosphere.

An ostrich and a lion repeated this feeling. The wonderful wigs were made of curled paper. The costuming and the pantomine made the play sheer visual delight. Only two voices were heard from Phonograph I and Phonograph II who explain what is going on and report what is said. No single person from the cast of twenty- four can be singled out; all were excellent.

"The Eiffel Tower Wedding Party" was originally presented as a ballet and this production suffers some from the lack of real ballet. However, it is still great fun and awakens your imagination. The combination of the two plays adds up to a stimulating, creative evening. Congratulations to Mrs, Londre for giving us theater out of the ordinary. Hermione Knapp From experience and knowledge to help those who need assistance.

21: 36. By RUTH FOSTER Janesville's Day Care Center, which is not just 10 months old, is not just facts and figures. Instead it is children, "beautiful children," according to Mrs. George Gutmann, president of the center's board, in her report yesterday to the "parent organization." Mrs. Gutmann told the Janesville Area Community Council, which she credits with sparking the opening of the center in First Lutheran Church last January, some of the touching stories concerning the children enrolled and also some of the facts and figures.

She made her report at the council's luncheon meeting in the Elks Club. She paid special tribute to Mrs. George Hickey and the board members who, she said, enthusiastically arranged legal matters, materials, funds, budget, personnel and all of the other details that went into the opening of the center. The center opened with just four children but has grown to 38, said Mrs. Gutmann.

First Lutheran Church provides the facilities, two large rooms designed for nursery use, a kitchen, large gymnasium and a playground. The church charges only $100 a month, "just enough to pay for janitorial service and utilities," she said. State licensing agency considers the facilities among the finest in the state. Some From Welfare Homes Not all of the children enrolled go to the Day Care Center for economic reasons, Mrs. Gutmann said.

Approximately one-third of them are from welfare homes. Using names other than the real names, she told of the importance of the care offered at the center for some of the children. She spoke of four-year-old Timmy, a strong aggressive type whose mother is a career woman and who had been cared Defense in Beloit Arson Conspiracy Case Opens Monday jury trial of a Beloit businessman charged with arson conspiracy and extortion was recessed until Monday at the conclusion of the state's case yesterday. The trial of Wendell Steele, 50, owner of the Checker Cab Co. and a bus service in Beloit, will resume Monday with Atty.

Leo Hanson expected to begin his defense. Steele is accused of paying to have fires set at the offices of the Yellow Cab Co. here last spring which caused more than $5,000 damage. The Beloit businessman also operates other bus and transportation systems in Northern Illinois. Steele has been free on $7,500 bond since his arrest last June.

Dist. Atty. Robert Ruth, prosecuting for the state, produced 35 state's witnesses during the jury trial which began last Monday before County Judge Edwin C. Dahlberg. FIRE CALLS Friday 2:11 p.m.—Fire scare at Sears, Roebuck 18 W.

Sherrie, age 5, is from a one-parent home, her father having deserted.

Sherrie's mother is now attending school, to prepare herself for a career so she can support her child. Betty's father is receiving psychiatric care and her mother is working to support herself and three teenage children on $75 a week. Mrs. Gutmann considers "our greatest siiccess story" the one of three- year-old Brent, whose mother has take- home pay of $43 a week, has another job to pay for housing and whose father is mentally ill. The center hesitated about taking Brent because of hip socket trouble which made it difficult to handle him.

The first director, Mrs. Betty Williams, decided to "try it out," however, and Brent enrolled in May. "He is thriving under the care and training he is receiving," said Mrs. Gutmann. He is learning to express himself verbally, something he was unable to do.

Physicians claim that he has a slight problem of retardation, but Mrs. Norman Alff, the present director, and his teachers say this isn't so." The Day Care Center serves primarily children of people with problems over which they have no control, those who need help on a temporary basis. "It saves children from traumatic experiences that might otherwise damage them for lifei. It is a practical, economical, humane approach to social ills," she said. She contrasted the busy, fun- learning packed days at the center with days children spend with an apathetic babysitter, where the children's inquiries are greeted with "shut up" or a physical rebuff.

"In these situations, the good child is the passive child, one who sits before the television all day, who never develops verbally and who develops a stigma of failure which increases from year to year," she said. A day at the center begins at 6:30 a.m. Breakfast, a hot luncheon and morning and afternoon snacks, prepared by Mrs. Thomas McGinniss, are included in the schedule, as is an afternoon nap. Planned activities and free play periods make up the day.

The center charges $20 a week for the first child, $10 for the second, parents are working. The same charges are made for welfare children. Low income families, which are not on public assistance are given special rates, based on ability to pay. The difference is made up through "scholarships" which are donated by various organizations and individuals and the $300 a month grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity. Mrs.

Gutmann said that in the last 10 years, psychologists have agreed that ages of three and four are much more important to a child's development than originally believed. "The Day Care Center is opening a door to opportunity that will benefit the community in years to come," she said. Al Finger presided at the meeting. Driver Is Injured in Rural Accident Vernon R. Bakkum, 19, of 213 Rockport Road, was treated at Mercy Hospital and released after an accident at 8:33 p.m.
