She has, however, looked over a script that needs work as an update of her 32-year-old teen-age classic. In this one Liz would play a middle-aged Velvet Brown.

At 45, Liz is no Raquel Welch. She will boost your ego if you are fair of face and weigh less than 150 but there is no denying her lovely facial bone structure, double row of natural eyelashes and enviable violet eyes.

But among the Polaroid sunglasses, bermuda shorts, cameras and fishing tackel were of all people film star Elizabeth Taylor and her new husband, John Warner. The star of 51 films and the winner of two Academy Awards was in town for the dedication of the new Howard Young Medical Center, which was built and will be operated with $20 million great uncle, millionaire New York art dealer Howard Young, left in his will. The facility is similar to the Mayo Clmic, Rochester, Minn. THE DEDICATION Saturday probably was the social event of the summer. Expecting a large crowd, local officials spruced up the town, installed special traffic controls and even imported a large tent for the dedication festivities that had been used in a recent Western Open golf tournament.

Even former New York Mayor John V. Lindsay was in town; not for the fishing primarily, but to host a taping for Morning on ABC featuring the film star. Liz represented the Youngs at the weekend festivities, which included her unveiling a statue Young sculpted. She said donating the money to the hospital was magnificent thing and I think this would have been the proudest day in his In between the gawking celebrity seekers and the dedication festivities, Liz and John, former secretary of the Rape center aids arrests: agency urgently needed medical and emotional care.

The report said the Polk County Rape-Sexual Assault Center in Des Moines, Iowa, created with LEAA funds but now financed by the county, was designed to help rape victims recover.

And the enormity of their own success has left them in a dream-like state. Six weeks ago they were relatively unknown actors.

Carrie had a slight head start because of her famous parents, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, and a much discussed cameo performance in Today, the three are space age heroes. They came to Chicago last weekend to quench a media thirst for more news. Though interviewed separately at a press conference Saturday afternoon, all lavished compliments on one person, George Lucas. He was the guy who made it happen. Lucas was tired of looking for a good science fiction film to see, so he sat down and wrote his own.

TOTALLY without pretense. Everything he does has good said Ford, who appeared in another Lucas hit, Lucas is described as a shy, unassuming guy by all three. Hamill, who plays the young farmboy from the planet of Tatooine, added, so happy now doing funny walks and talking funny. Even throwing food at people.

Since 1975, the church has blossomed to 1,500 members, some from as far away as Elgin and Chicago.

The unique style of the Sunday services, which includes rock-type band music and singing, skits and slide presentations, has made the church particularly popular with young churchgoers. However, a growing number of adults have added to the numbers in recent months.
