I It I i. 1 i 8 tit! si IK LET IT RAIN With or without umbrellas, a crowd of 125 or more watched the Paul. Hahn (rick-shot performance last night at the Golf Ranch in Bristol. Blue Skies Despite A Rainy Night Sometimes you can see blue skies through the rain. More than 125 residents of Lower Bucks County could see them Jast i when they showed up to witness a special trickshoi performance by Paul Hahn, golf star and performer, at the Golf Ranch, Routes 413 and 13, Bristol.

Hahn could sec them himself for despite .1 constant drizzle which turned into a violent rain just as the show ended, he stood for an hour out in the open and went through his repertoire as well as his renowned patter, exactly as scheduled. En! Ire Proceeds Tlic blue skies will brighten, as a result, for 200 children from less fortunate homes in Bucks County. The entire proceeds from the show, including advance sale of tickets, will go to Operation Blue Skies, the project which underwrite summer camp for those 200 youngsters betivcen tlic ages of 8 and 14. Because of the advance sale, a final accounting of the golf show returns was not available this morning but it will bring the Operation Blue Skies fund close to die $4,000 it needs, with another 54.000 from the Bucks Opportunities Council, to send (hose 200 kids to Camp Ladore in the Poconos. Pay Hahn's expenses were paid bv the Ballantine beer firm and alt other costs were met by Harry Rubin, proprietor of the Got Ranch.

Thus all returns from last night's performance will go to the fund. Rubin had expected up to 1,000 attendance but the rain shrank the crowd considerably It did not shrink their enthusl asm, though, nor did it deter Hahn in the least as he kept up his talk and his amazing num bcr of spectacular shots. Except for one stunt. Because This is part Ihe cnvvd pictured during a drizzle which turned into a downpour just as the show ended. Cttirltr Tlmtt Pticftt by K-trmeky CLUIIS Paul Hahn (riphl), golfdom's i star, heads a putter and Harry Rubin, proprietor of the Golf Ranch, has a No, 1 wood and the result will be the same help for underprivileged youngsters of Bucks County.

He did put on one audience- participation show, placing a ball on a three foot tec and asking for someone in the audience to try to hit it. No one had during 100 other shows he has put on this year, he said, and once Sam Snead missed the ball three nights in succession. Hank Did It But it proved no problem to Henry "Hank" Storey, 10 Pair! cian Green Lynnc, Bristol Township.

After two others had missed, Storey, with one mighty swing, belted a 200-yard drive down the range. Storey has been playing golf only two years, he said, and he gets out once a week at the most. He showed up last night mostly to help the Operation Blue Skies project, he said. Hahn's show included a full tag of golf stunts. He balanced threft balls one on top of the other and hit (hem with one swing, one going backward, one straight up (he caught it) and one well out onto the driving range.

He also used a double- oinicd club, another six feet ong t-md another made of rubber which wrapped around his neck but still whacked out a good drive.

Neshaminy Lags Rehirine Teacher The Neshaminy School Board, after hearing a report from the administration last night, on the case of Janet Beck, withheld a decision to rchirc her, until the legal status of salary raises for striking teachers is cleared up.

Former Teacher The former English teacher a Junior High Lower Southampton, Miss Beck (known in school circles by her former name. Mrs. Janet rtodnon) had reportedly been hired back by the district last month after her resignation in April. The Neshaminy Federation of Teachers (NFT) has charged Dr. Charles II.

Bryan, district superintendent, refused her a teaching spat at the last moment because of her role in the teachers strike last May, conducted by the NFT. Sclmchlcr called the NFT's charge that the district was blacklisting striking teachers who tried to get job 5 elsewhere "exercise in propaganda." "They're just trying to keep the pot boiling. It's their way of trying to gain recognition that they couldn't get in an election," Schuchler said.
