As carpenters do the work of center remodeling in the rafters, skaters practice jumps and spins for the show June 30 at 8 and July 1-2 at 2. Routines are polished by Jo Anne Carle, the club's professional skater. Choreography is one of her specialities and it shows in the five production numbers: Star Worlds, Jungle Book, Mythical Garden. All that Jazz and A Salute to '78. Yards of costume material have been turned into glittering outfits that will dazzle the eyes of the spectators.

Those who I have seen past shows will affirm that Butte's takes a back seat to none in the Northwest. Gary Lean, club president, is busy supervising assembly of i the props that will help bring the show to life. Tickets, $2 for adults and $1 for children over 6, are available from club members. Senior citizen tickets are at the Senior Citizen Center. and fall and taught aerobatics in California during the winter.

The act includes loops, hammerhead stalls, four and eight point rolls, vertical rolls, Cuban 8's, immelmans, wingovers, lazy 8's, snap rolls, inverted flight, knife edge and barrel rolls with the gear extended. In contrast, the show in her Pitts Special includes inverted flat spins, tailslides, whipstalls, snaprolls, outside loops, vertical point rolls, super-slow slowrolls, octagons and squares and the tumbling lomcevak. and are painted in schemes that allow the aerobatic maneuvers to stand out against the sky.

Gary learned to fly in 1966 and began her flying career in 1968 as a glider instructor. In 1969 she met aerobatic pilot Jim Holland. Two years later they formed a team flying Bellanca Citabrias. In 1973 she was chosen from among 40 applicants to fly on the Canadian Carling Aerobatics Team. When the team disbanded, Gary switched from the Pitts she flew in Canada to the little Bede 5 Jet and flew with the Bede Jet Team.

When Gary left the Bede team, she bought her own Pitts and moved to Southern California where she set up an aerobatic center with Art Scholl and Manx Kelly. She flew solo aerobatic shows throughout North America during the spring, summer Aerobatic pilot Debbie Gary will perform in Butte July 3-4 in conjunction with Butte Celebration's Fourth of July festivities. Gary will perform two "twilight shows" July 3 before the fireworks display over Big Butte. On July 4 she will perform two shows over Stodden Park and will be in Butte's Fourth of July parade.

It's a good show for the family. Bring a book on wildflower identification, either the Craighead or the Golden Book for kids which classifies flowers by color.

And you and the family might see the difference between mere camera work and what is seen by an artist's eye. You will also pick'up a few facts about the plants that grow around here. STOP ON YOUR way to Georgetown Lake and give everybody a treat by going to the very lively and enjoyable Fiddler's Art in Anaconda. It won't take very long and it'll male you smile. 'y The exhibit mixes a lot of elements together and comes a lot closer to what my notion of what an art show should be than most.

First, there's the dimension of folk-crafted, hand-made fiddles. I can't think of any craft as satisfying or humanly beautiful as an instrument made by the hand of someone who loves music. Secondly, there are marvelous photographs of fiddlers at work, wonder studies of concentration, joy and rapture, filled with the delight of making music. Last, there's the taped fiddler music to bring it all together. This shdw is an exchange with the Oregon Arts Commission through MAGDA and its parent, the Montana Arts Council.

I hope the show we send Oregon is half as much fun and as satisfying as this one. We really owe them one for this wonderful art treat. "The Sound of Music" has won nearly every heart in sight. I hope everyone will catch this Rodgers and Hammersteirt saga of the Trapp family by Butte Community Theater this final week at the Country Club. For Sarah, who is reading "Alice in Wonderland," and wrote to ask what is a dormouse: It is a small sort of squirrel, mouse-colored, which does its romping by night rather than day.

By ALAN GODDARD Contributing Columnist My conscience has been bothering me since I made that crack (in a May 28 story) about housewives trying to find meaningful expression by painting at kitchen tables. "The remark was stupid and oafish, and the worst kind of cheap shot. It was prompted by three proud husbands trying to get me to write stories about their wives and their paintings. So, despite the fact that it is Father's Day and Pa is king, I'd like to give a cheer for the housewife with an interest in the arts. Some of them knock me over.

Like the one who described the Plaza's scare movie "The Fury" as more horrifying to discuss than to see. Or Mary Poole and Kathy Driscoll who have generous amounts of talent and who add meaning to all our lives by the way they see and capture Butte and the seasons, changing on this battered old hill. Or Aileen Davis working as a volunteer at the World Museum of Mining, pleased as could be when Sammi Jane Keith produced a birthday cake to celebrate this persistent workers natal day. She knocked me over by being the first to suggest and actually get back to work. I think we all are indebted to the women who take time to care enough about the quality of art education in our schools, who make a community possible for artists to work in and who are a large part of the audience for artistic works.

SALLEE BOWEN ULSHER told me that this summer's Art-in-the-Mall, July 14, 15 and 16, will be one of the biggest and best events that the MIA has ever created. So keep an eye open for it. For information about awards and booths, call 406-494-5284. Also on tap is Bozeman's revival of the Sweet Pea Festival the first week in August. Could it be Copper Camp helped stimulate this? In any case, it promises to be an exciting art fair and is the only one to include dance as an art.
