JLL EDITIONS Monday, January 14, 1985 The Arizona Republic i All Symphony Christmas for Caring donors "A s'i --Vr- fat fax iwllflHHMMHR mzdtwv Rouer Buchannan Special for Tne Rodudiic Minnesota is the only state that raised more money for its orchestra. But the $130,000 alone will not keep the symphony afloat, Herberger added, noting that board members are looking at ways to sell enough tickets to fill empty seats in the concert hall. She also said some of the musicians have volunteered to help, "so it's becoming a real symphony family." Around the Valley Well, folks, the Republicans won this year. No, not in the White House; that's old news. On the tennis courts.

On Saturday night, the Republican senators who participated in the 12th annual U.S. Senators' Cup Tennis Classic were in the clubhouse at John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch to collect the prize, a silver spittoon, during the annual Merv Griffin Extravaganza. The benefit is held each year for Hospice of the Valley, and hosted by Monique and John Gardiner, who own the tennis ranch. In this year's tournament, held Friday through Sunday, the Republicans won 80 games, the Democrats 75. Silver bells 8 inches high were also awarded to winners of the ladies' tournament.

U.S. Attorney General William French Smith handed out the awards. As far as the extravaganza goes, it has become a tradition, attracting celebrities as well as senators, and each year, the outcome is predictable: a conga line around the dining room, led by television personality Merv Griffin, with actress Eva Gabor, actor Wayne Rogers and others joining in the mischief. Unfortunately, Clint Eastwood could not make it this year. He canceled because of an injury.

But the fun went on without him. Sen. Edward Zorinsky, gave a Jack Valenti, left, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, attends the Senators' Cup Tennis Classic each year. This dinner chairman for the Merv Griffin Extravaganza, held Saturday at John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch, was Lyn Laflin, center. Sen.

Lowell Weicker was one of many senators who attended. Continued from A10 and his popular orchestra. Of course, Severinsen cooperated. "I only do this (type of thing) on my vacations," he said. He was under the weather from a bout with the flu, but he did not let his illness keep him from giving people what they had come to hear.

Severinsen, who is principal Phoenix Symphony Pops conductor, even brought his wife, Emily, and his manager, Bud Robinson, along. Symphony members donated their time for the event, and they were invited to stay, nibble on some munchies and join in the merrymaking. Who says conductors are square? Music directorconductor Theo Alcantara and his wife, Susan, danced up a storm with various orchestra members and, eventually, ended up jitterbugging with each other. Mr. and Mrs.

0. Mark DeMichelo shared the evening with Barbara DeMichele's sister and brother-in-law, Cathy and Bob Boyd. Mark DeMichelo, president of the symphony board, introduced Severinsen by bellowing, "Heeeere's Doc!" Sherie and George Fischer shared a table with Mr. and Mrs. Bob Turpln.

Fischer and Turpin are partners in an investment business. The ball, totally underwritten, generated $130,000 for the symphony. "That makes us the second highest in fund-raising in the U.S. (for symphony orchestras) in 1984-85," said Jeannle Herberger, a co-chairwoman. She added that The Arizona Republic and the Salvation Army thank the following people who donated to the Christmas for Caring campaign: SCOTTSDALE: Susan Griffin, Hay-den and Betty Craig, Harold and Clausine Gray, G.D.

"I was enthusiastic, passionate, excited and exercised." Two familiar faces belonged to Stevie and Karl Her, who are supporters of Hospice.

The rate is by far the highest in Hungary, at the lower end of the belt, where the rate was reported as 43.5 per 100,000 people. Among Western industrialized nations, the United States has by far the highest death rate for what the U.N. organization terms "homicide and injury purposely inflicted by other persons." The U.S. rate of 10.5 violent deaths per 100,000 people in 1980 was 15 times higher than the rate of 0.7 that year in Britain. However, in El Salvador, where the U.S.-backed government and leftist rebels are fighting a civil war, the rate was 37.6.

Dr. Jim Johnson, a Washington, D.C., dentist who formerly lived in Phoenix, was grinning with glee during cocktails as he hunted down senators to sign the oversized tennis ball (about the size of a soccer ball) he bought at an auction fund-raiser for Hospice, held Friday night.

Japan continued to lead all countries in life expectancy, with an average of 74.5 years for a newborn. Greece was second, at 73.6 years.

Some of the data seem puzzling. For example, why is East Germany's rate of death by accidental poisoning, 8.3 per 100,000 people, substantially higher than all other countries listed? Statistics for Western countries showed wide differences in rates of death attributed to heart ailments and other diseases of the circulatory system and to cancer. The rate of death from heart ailments and circulatory problems ranged from 248.7 per 100,000 people in Japan, to 613.4 in Austria.

Homicide is 15 times more frequent in the United States than in Great Britain. In Hong Kong, a 65-year-old woman has a good chance of living 20 more years. But in Romania, home of a much-publicized geriatrics clinic, a newborn boy has a life expectancy of only 67.1 years.

On the other hand, the rate was 8.4 in Scotland and 4.6 in Norway.
