John Mantley feels that "The Quest" wasn't the right show to bring back the Western. He was executive producer of "Gun-smoke" and heads "How the West Was Won," which ABC will air as three two-hour movies beginning in February. "I think there is a lack of interest in Westerns because there hasn't been a really good one," he said.

"My belief is that television goes in cycles and SHOP EVERY SEE HOW MUCH YOU SAVE! By JERRY BUCK Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) Was "The Quest" an unsuccessful last-ditch effort to revive the Western series, or was it merely the wrong show? The NBC series, about the search of the Baudine brothers for their Indian-captive sister, goes off the air at the end of the month. The TV Western has fallen on hard times and I miss it. I don't miss the overkill when 32 shoot-m-ups rode the range. But the gritty realism of "The Quest," and earlier "Rawhide," "The Westerner" and "Gunsmoke." You could almost smell the horse flesh and fetid saloons. Some critics say that a generation that has been through Vietnam, Watergate and pot doesn't believe the Western is relevant.

I couldn't disagree more. The Western, wjth its emphasis on independence and determination, has plenty to say about how we got where we are besides being good entertainment. Concern over violence also tamed the Western, although it doesn't seem to have had much more than a cosmetic effect on police shows. 1 Quentin and Morgan (Two Person) Baudine, played by Tim Matheson and Kurt Russell, proved no match for their Wednesday night competition, ABC's "Charlie's Angels," sexual tease with the biggest fairy tales since Mother Goose. "The Quest' never caught on, despite an interesting concept and a sense of reality developed by creator Tracy Keenan Wynn.

Executive producer David Gerber sought to inject into it the same verisimilitude that makes "Police Story" stand out among cop shows. Perhaps it was the casting. Russell, the most charming and charismatic, played the most phlegmatic part, that of a youth raised by the Indians, Mathesonxwas the emotional and excitable greenhorn brother, but did not bring enough fire to the role. Gerber feels "The Quest" was a casualty of a bad time slot and poor handling by NBC. "They put us on at 10 p.m., a late hour for a Western, and that hurt," said Gerber.

Children's Accessories removal of the bark, which harbors the disease-spreading beetles, leaves a wood interior that can be used as any other wood. One group of parents at a Minneapolis elementary school learned that debarking an elm isn't particularly easy. A dozen adults worked for three days, cutting the trees into four-foot pieces and pounding the bark off with a sledge hammer.

But the result, a retaining a walking wall around a playground, was worth it. The children were "really taken with the whole idea of using these trees which otherwise are an enormous tragedy, and making something really beautiful out of it," said project chief Barbara Nicholson.

David DeVoto, forestry director for the Minneapolis Park Board, said the board also has given logs to artists for sculpting. Over the next four Minneapolis is planting 40,000 new shade trees to replace the thousands of elms expected to be killed. Experts expect nearly all of the 300,000 elms in Minneapolis and 130,000 in neighboring St. Paul to be stricken. The two cities areispending a total of $3.1 million to remove and replant the trees this year.
