"Far out" was the only other sound that punctuated the intermittent machine gun blasts. The old man, a park regular, sat on the bench outside the hall housing the merry-go-round. He goes there almost every sunny day to relax in the sun and lake breezes, to watch the children play, but most of all to listen to those beautiful old songs that play on the carousel.

He says his favorite, the one he really waits for, is "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time." The six little girls charge into the Fun House's revolving barrel, but nobody falls. Since the only reason for going into the barrel is to fall over and roll around laughing hysterically, one of the girls finally dives to the ground tripping her friend. Soon all six girls are on the floor rolling around on top of each other laughing as it was meant to be. lie obviously hadn't been on the dodge 'em cars for years so despite the verbal instructions forbidding head-on collisions, he immediately set off in the wrong direction smashing head-on into a six-year-old's car and smashing his 25-year-old knee in his own car.

By MARK STARR Still reeling from the roller coaster ride the stocky youth with long blond hair staggered from the front car where he'd been sitting to the last car in line. After another fifty-seven second ride around hairpin curves and through tunnels that seem to portend decapitation, he walked from the ride, his head shaking in disbelief and his face one hugn grin. "If you sit in the front, you get thrown around a lot more," he said to anyone who was interested, "but the back is a much eavier ride all around." His mind stuck somewhere between "Bataan" and "The Sands of Iwo Jima," the young, bearded man was riveted to the arcade machinegun firing short bursts at the enemy planes diving and flying in evasive patterns over the lake.

He had already exhausted the one where you attempt to bushwhack someone standing in a saloon, the one where you dive bomb targets like bridges, ships and munitions plants, and the granddaddy of them all, the one where you practice your aim by dropping an atom bomb on a city.

i V- By JEAN WALRATH It was the beginning of the 13th season last night at Town and Country Playhouse in East Rochester. The theater was packed to overflowing and there on the stage was Sid Caesar. Caesars' vehicle was "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers," a comedy, which to add to all the favorable portents of the evening, filled the with laughter.

"Most European hotels are small, a couple of hundred rooms is a big one," said Sullivan, "but this new one has 1,023 rooms. It's a nine-story building and is designed to take care of large conventions and tourist groups which have had to by pass Paris in recent years because of lack of hotel accommodations.

Doris Roberts, who created It v. r-r ws I know to be a play with at least a moderate quality of wistfulncss, desperation and sympathy. It's only fair to say that because of a late show curtain (caused by seating1 the big crowd) and an early press deadline, the reviewer was forced to miss a big part of the show. More could have happened to his portrayal than seemed possible before the second act ended, but it would have had to happen in a big hurry.

He is a fish market proprietor and she is one of his customers, a down-to-earth woman with a yen for lovemaking Jill O'Hara is right as the effusive would-be actress who devastates the male with her tales of unusual sex experiences. She's plump, bubbly, kooky and exasperating. Hopefully we'll make another trip to see Doris Roberts, the original Jeanette, friend of the fishmonger's wife, who by all reports is superb in the part.
