Deaths Funerals, One of the perennial questions to collaborating authors regarding the way they have worked together. Did each partner separately write a whole scene alone? Or did they struggle together over every line? As to the method of the inseparable team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II in putting together the Pulitzer Prize musical "South Pacific," which the 'Moberly High School Fine Arts Department is offering Nov. 14, 16, Rodgers gave this explanation: Oscar wrote the words and gave them to me. I wrote the music and gave it to him." Rodgers and Hammerstein were the most consistently successful, and most popular men of the American Theatre. In their 17 years of collaboration they created together nine of the most glorioas musicals ir.

American stage history, plus one notable musical film and a celebrated television program re-creating "Cinderella" in modern musical terms. Rodgers and Hammerstein had never worked together professipnally until their famed "Oklahoma!" They were inseparable from then on. Rodsers and Hammerstein wrote the following shows: in 1943, their first big musical that ran weeks on end, "Oklahoma!" Fair" (they produced this in film form). Pacific," first written in book form by Joshua Logan. This was their biggest show since "Oklahoma!" King and and Juliet." (produced for television).

Sound of Music" Richard Rodgers was born in New York in 1899, the most abundantly prolific composer of light and memorable tunes in American Theatrical History, He was the son of a successful physician. While still an undergraduate at Columbia, his first musical score was heard in a Broadway musical comedy, "A Lonely Romeo," in 1919. Oscar Hammerstein II was born in 1895 to a great name and a great theatrical tradition. His grandfather, the first Oscar Hammerstein, was an opera impresario who flared across the American entertainment world from 1885 to 1910. From 1920 to 1943, Hammerstein had a hand in no less than 36 big musical shows either in New York or in London.

Oscar Hammerstein was such a great contribution to theatre that on the night of his funeral, every light on Broadway was darkened for five minutes as an expression of farewell. Of all the people who have laughed and hummed'and wept at the general musical drama, "South which opens Nov. 14 at Moberly High School, probably no one has been more starry-eyed and delighted than the notable team who wrote it- Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. During the nearly five years that their show ran in New York, they came to the theatre and saw some part of it--and often all of it--two to three times every week, and seemingly never tired of it. They stood up at the back, for 1 all the seats were always sold out.

The allegations were the court agreed to for construction of "a courthouse, substantially exceeding the county's financial ability, which cannot be paid without crippling the county's financial structure, curtailing county 'services and increasing the tax burden of taxpayers; Charged the building dimensions and facilities far exceed what is required by the county, adding to construction costs; Alleged the architectural style is contrary to the will of the majority of the taxpaying citizens; Said the vaults are struc- turally inadequate for the preservation of official county records, and that the courthouse is being built without elevators ro ramps for the aged and handicapped in violation of federal law; Alleged the Court entered the contract without obtaining competent legal.counsel, did not give due consideration to alternate plans nor adequately investigate the county's desires and needs or payment of the contract. The petition also corrects the first petition which said the Court held a bond election by correctly stating the Court proposed a 20 cent increase per $100 valuation of the iax levy, the purpose of which was to finance the courthouse. Lukehart said fae defense has 30 days to reply to the amended petition, and said the changes will not speed up the heating which may not be until the first of next year. The plaintiffs also filed an application for a change of judge for the hearing, and asks that a special judge be appointed by the state Supreme Court, thus Lukehart said Circuit Judge Dark Green must disqualify himself from he case.

They.firow to be about 316 of an inch long. They may be found at rest or crawling slowly on-stems, where the leaves join, and on leaves along the veins on the underside. Mealybugs suck the. juices from the plants, thus stunting, or even killing them. They excrete a substance called honeydew which is an excellent medium for sooty molds and other diseased to grow.

To kill these pests, spray the plants with ORTHO MALATHION. Thorough coverage of the plant and insects is necessary. One half teaspoon per quart of water will do the job. A few drops of household dish soap will.help increase the wetting ability ol the spray. ORTHO MALATHION and many other fine garden products are available at your local Westlake's Hardware store.
