NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Itonnie Prophet is riddling the maxim that you need hit records for success in the music business. Prophet is a guitarist, singer and comedian who's not had a hit record but has cultivated a faithful following through a highly rated Canadian country music television show and spir- ited stage act. "I'm not a great singer, co- median or guitarist, but I am a good entertainer," Prophet, 38, said in his hilltop home in south Nashville where the Battle of Nashville was fought during the Civil War. "Most acts have two or three supporting musicians behind them.

They fill the stage with bodies. The main approach I've SELECTED Airman George G. Mathiescn, son of llr. and Mrs. George E.

Mathiesen of Fergus Falls, has been selected for technical training at Presidio of Monterey, in the Air Force language field. He recently completed basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas. He is a 1976 graduate of Hillcrest Academy. HERE'S HOW! By JOEL BOEKA Keep your feet warmer In cold weather by slipping plastic bags over the socks before putting on boots. If your furnace goes on and on, and the house doesn't get any warmer, you're probably losing heat through walls and ceilings.

Proper insulation will stop this. Callus. Northern Propane Gas Co. Phone 73W789 E. Hampden--Fergus Falls iorgas worked for is a one-man show that's more than a vocalist, a comic, a musician, wanted one man doing all three." Chet Atkins calls him "the greatest one-man show I've seen." Prophet sings and plays pop, country-Western, rock and show tunes.

He impersonates Louis Armstrong, Lionel Barrymore, Johnny Cash, Eddy Arnold, Elvis Presley and many others. He also imitates a duck singing "Help Me Make It Through The Night." Another of his routines is an imitation of frog conversations and swamp noises. He's record- ed an album entitled "Harold the Horny Toad." He has an echo unit that re- peals any sound he makes in less than a second or as long as several minutes, permitting him to duet with himself. One evening in his Nashville nightclub, the Carousel, he scrambled up a post onto the balcony railing. "People said, "That s.o.b.

is crazy," Prophet recalled. He thrives on work and al- ways has. When he was a youngster and his father died, he single-handedly put in 35 acres of oats on their Canadian farm. "I harrowed and disced all the land and sowed and fur- rowed it," Prophet said. "I also put in the drainage ditches." At age 17, he worked a club in Stonefield, Quebec, every Sunday afternoon for only $5.

He sold sandwiches on the side for a quarter to make some tips. He's done much benefit work and once helped raise $36,000 in just one afternoon in St. Louis for St. Jude's Children's Hospi- tal in Memphis where two rooms are named in his honor. He customizes guitars him- self and built a recording studio in the basement of his home to accommodate 11 musicians.

He goes to Toronto once a month for six days to tape four shows for his weekly "Grand Old Country" show. Last year, it was selected the top country show in Canada, and Prophet, who once auditioned unsuccess- fully for the Ted Mack Amateur Hour, was chosen top male country singer. The show is not on American television because he's never been offered enough money to syndicate in this country, he said. An in-depth visitor survey conducted by the American Mu- seum of Natural History in New York City revealed that 58 per cent of all visitors come from outside the metropolitan area. By MALCOLM N.

CARTER Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) A talk show host of bygone days, Steve Allen is doing something new. He's a talk show host of bygone days. "I hope the program will in- furiate some people," he says. "We will have achieved our wildest success to the extent we infuriate people." Th program is called Meet- ing of Minds," and the guests will not be the likes of Zsa Zsa Gabor, Tony Randall or Joyce Brothers. Nor will his "guests" and that's what Allen calls them be deadly bores, he says.

They will, however, be dead. And the boredom level will be entirely in Allen's hands, for he created the program and wrote the lines from material already published. The first of six 60- minute programs already com- pleted will be seen over PBS Jan. 10 at 8 p.m. EST.

Allen's "guests," played by actors such as Alexander Scourby, will be Cleopatra, Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Paine, Theodore Roosevelt, Marie Antoinette, Sir Thomas More, Karl Marx, Ulysses S. Grant, Attilla the Hun, Galileo Galilei, Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin. What he has tried to create is a "theater of ideas that would be entertaining and yet would stimulate the viewer to think himself by introducing him to or reminding him of important thinkers and doers of history." Americans don't think enough, haven't become well enough informed and aren't therefore very active partici- pants in their democracy, Allen says. Princess will hire attorney AIJRETON, England A I Princess Anne, given a sum- mons in November for speeding on an expressway in Derby- shire, is due in a local magis- trates court Jan. 21.

But a Buckingham Palace spokesman said a lawyer prob- ably would represent her. The summons alleged that Princess Anne exceeded Brit- ain's 70 miles per hour speed limit, police said Thursday. She reportedly was driving at 90. "It is such concerns that cause me to devote so much time to 'Meeting of he adds. "It can help stimulate popular interest in the prob- lems and a rational way of thinking about them." The alk show takes place in a kind of a living room at a round table.

Guests come down a flight of stairs, as if from heaven, rather than through a parted curtain. The program's path to national television has been a tortuous one at best. Allen, whose "Laughback" show of highlights from past broadcasts is now in syndication, has been trying for 17 years to get "Meeting of Minds" on the air. A segment with Freud, He- gel, Montaigne and Aristotle was canceled before it could air on the "Steve Allen Show" one Sunday night in 1959. Then the syndicator of a national lalk show he was doing in 1971 kept it off the air everywhere but in Los Angeles, where it won three local Emmy awards.

To Allen, 54, the composer, comedian and orchestra con- ductor who is also the author of a forthcoming book about China and a novel called "Telethon" "Meeting of the Minds" has been nothing but "a labor of love." PALM SPRINGS, Calif, (AP) A mourning Frank Sinatra stayed secluded at his estate as family members ar- ranged the funeral of his 82- year-old mother, killed in the crash of a private jet plane on Southern California's highest mountain. Recovery teams were to re- sume at daybreak their climb up the steep slopes of snow-cov- ered Ml. San Gorgonio to re- trieve the remains of Natalie "Dolly" Sinatra and three other victims.

Born in Ben Wade Township of Pope County on July 19,1896, she was the daughter of Axel and Frieda Rudgren. She married Carl Carlson at Lowry on June 10, 1920. The couple farmed near Kensington for many years prior to his retirement and death in June of 1972.

She had lived at Vergas for the past four years. She was a member of First Lutheran Church of Kensington, Indies Aid, was a charter member of the American Legion Auxiliary of Kensington.

Services and burial were at Brea, Calif. Mr. Johnson was born irf Eagle Lake Township on July 28,1907, the son of Victor and Augusta Johnson. He had lived in Brea, for the past 18 years. His wife died May 2, 1976.

Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Marvin (Helen Ann) Mun- dorf; one granddaughter; one brother, Alex, Starbuck; one sister, Mrs. Harry (Evelyn) Fretland, Ottertail. The wreckage of the jet, its wings and tail sheared off by the impact of the crash, was spotted Sunday. Recovery at- tempts were hampered by freezing temperatures, dark- ness and forbidding cliffs.

A search team said it appeared the four died on impact. Sinatra has refused to talk with reporters since the plane was reported missing Thursday night as he opened at Caesars Palace Hotel. He played two shows after learning of the dis- appearance, but canceled the remainder of his week-long en- gagement. A family spokesman said si- multaneous rosary services will be held for Mrs, Sinatra Tuesday evening at the St. Louis Catholic Church in Palm Springs and at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills, ivhere comedian Danny Thomas will give a eulogy.

A funeral service is sched- uled for noon Wednesday at the St. louts Church, with burial to follow at Palm Springs Ceme- tery. Mrs. Sinatra left here on a chartered flight to Las Vegas along with an old friend, Mrs. Anthony Carboni, and two crew members, Donald Weier, 36, and Jerold Foley, 43, both of Las Vegas.

She planned to watch her son's opening show. But less than 10 minutes into the half-hour flight, the plane apparently strayed off course and slammed into the foot mountain. The jet hit less than 200 feet from the top of a ridge. Federal Aviation Adminis- tration officials said the normal flight pattern was 45 miles from the peak, but the jet for some reason never made a crucial turn away. "The bodies were pretty well dismembered," said San Ber- nardino County Sheriff Frank Bland.

"There were no signs of life Parts of bodies were found in and around the debris, he said, and pieces of clothing were strewn in trees around the crash site. Hopes had dimmed as sear- chers spent nearly three days scanning the snows of Ml. San Gorgonio for signs of the tiny white jet. When the grim dis- covery was made, Bland said a Sinatra family spokesman told him, "They expected it." Mrs. Sinatra was born in Genoa, Italy, a stonegrinder's daughter.

She came to America as a young girl, settling in Hoboken, N.J. She married An- thony Martin Sinatra and was 20 when Francis Albert was born. In 1953, the elder Sinatras moved to a luxurious home in Fort Lee, N.J., an anniversary gilt from their son. Anthony Si- natra died in 1969. Mrs.

Sinatra moved to Palm Springs in 1970 to be near her son. RICHARD H. PICKETT Pickett named accounting firm parfner Richard H. Pickett, C.P.A., staff accountant with the firm of Ness, Neumann, Waller Nygaard for the past five years, has been admitted as a partner in the firm as of Jan. 1.
