Annie to have six performances here Sii performances of Irving Berlin's musical "Annie Get Your Gun" comprise the second installment of Campus-Community Players' 13th summer season. An 8 p.m. curtain is scheduled for Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays of the next two weeks. Tickets for reserved seats in the theater of the Fine Arts building at University of Wisconsin Center, Marshfield-Wood County, may be obtained at Olde Towne Gifts or the center office. A Broadway hit in both 1946 and 1966, "Annie Get Your Gun" traces the romance of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler, sharpshooters both, and records the climb of Annie from rags to riches, from nonentity to celebrity.

"Annie" also lays claim to the possession of Irving Berlin's finest musical score. Critic Vernon Rice said it was impossible to pick a hit tune because "all the tunes are hits." And indeed, one song, "There's No Business Like Show Business," is today considered to be the unofficial anthem of show business. The hit tunes in the show follow one another in rapid succession "Doin' What Comes Naturally," "Moonshine Lullaby," "You Can't Get a Man With a Gun," "I'm an Indian, Too;" the love ballads, "I Got Lost in His Arms" and "They Say That Falling in Love Is and the rhythmic "I Got the Sun in the Morning." The present production also includes Berlin's 1966 addition to the score, "Olde-Fashioned Wedding." which had the persistent effect of stopping the show with audiences demanding encores. Robert V. Glasmann Jr.

and Mrs. Wayne E. (Edith) Lauterbach join dramatic director John H. BiUrich as musical directors for the production. It is Glasmann's second stint, given his remarkable debut with "Gypsy." and Mrs.

Lauterbach has been a source of appreciation since her work with Marshfield Senior High School's "Finian's Rainbow" in 1962. Robert I. Biederwolf continues to hold sway as orchestra conductor. Lolly Schreiner will repeat her "Gypsy" function as choreographer, as will Kris Olsen in the domain of costume direction and design and Jim Nikolai in the field of lighting. Dennis Gorke adds still another notch as set designer and technical director.

His technical assistants number Russ Werth, Darrell Neumann and Kurt Von Besser, and his crew includes Peggy Chose, Kurt Koenig, Jim Nikolai and Ryan, Colin and Megan Sokolowski. Olsen's costume assistant is Sue Ferch and their crew involves Michelle Avecilla. Jenni Burger, Kim Bloedel, Mary Helm, Maureen Hagman. Lisa Beth Johnson, Laura Johnston, Sandy Reigel and June Simonson. Other staff appointments have gathered Ruth Gabriel as production assistant.

Michele Wingert as properties manager, Bruce Vess as assistant choreographer, Greg Smith as sound technician and Russ Wenzel as house manager. Georgette Kaye, Peggy Chose and Sharon Sauter have shared the requirements of promotion and box office. Conductor Biederwolf 's indispensable orchestra lists Jeff Griese, Bob Dietz and Jean Dieringer, trumpets; Terri Selbrede, flute; Kathy Franz and Lita Jones, clarinets; Diane Duchow, bassoon; Jean McHugh, French horn; Carolyn Jo Sokolowski and Tom Neumann, trombones; Meg Griese, Beth Bauer and Sarah Schalow, violins; Wilma Ford, viola; Lori Fischer, cello; Janet Werth, bass; Dan Neumann, percussion; and Mrs. Lauterbach, keyboard. inursaoy, ed Aug.

Simply pinch off an old or damaged leaf from the plant, making sure to pinch the fleshy stem closed to prevent the juice from seeping out. Turn it upside down and brush the dusty leaves. Never try to clean another plant with that leaf as it might be infected in some way and never wash African violet leaves with water. The hairs hold the water, which causes rot.

Install a whole-house ventilating fan in your attic or in an upstairs window to cool the house when it is cool outside, even if you have air conditioning. Less energy will be used if the fan is utilized instead of air conditioning. When you use air conditioning, set your thermostat at 78 degrees fahrenheit or higher. This is a reasonable, comfortable and energy-efficient indoor temperature. Do not set your thermostat at a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner.

It will not cool faster. It will cool to a lower temperature than you need and use more energy. Clean or replace air conditioning filters at least once a month. When the filter is dirty, the fan has to run longer to move the same amount of air. This takes more energy.

Turn off your window air conditioners when you leave a room for several hours. You'll use less energy cooling the room down later than if you let the unit run. These tips will help you stay cool during the hot, humid summer while saving energy.
