The Junior High and Senior High Hugh Forgie Returns To Ice Capades This Year Hugh Forgie used to- give dazzling exhibitions of his badminton skill on regulation courts, but for more than 20 years now he has used his prowess as a skater to really put his game on ice. Returning to' the Ice Capades after a five-year tour of Europe, Hugh Forgie brings back to this country a racquet-full of trick shots in a zany badminton act which has delighted and amazed worldwide audiences numbering close to 100 million. Playing with Shirley Marie, his partner on the European tour and a former physical education instructor at Wellesley College, Forgie will appear in Baltimore at the Civic Center when the Ice Capades are there through October 13. His badminton performances are marked by a superb mastery of the game as evidenced by the exceptional control he has over his shots as he wihizzes back and forth on the ice to retrieve and return the shuttlecock While it is all in the act, Forgie seems to be forever chasing the elusive bird, only to reach in the moment it appears to be hitting the ice, and then effortlessly send it winging back over the net to Shirley Marie. On other shots, Forgie, in a clown costume, will bat the bird around his back or between his legs, exult- 1 1 1 Ua JL.

The comic flourishes he displays in his act obviously are possible only because of the perfection in form he has attained both as a badminton player and a skater. Discussing some of the attributes he considers essential for this kind of performance, Forgie noted that: "Yes, you need speed and the proper touch to be good at badminton. But it's a game that requires a great deal of endurance. The movement back and forth is so continuous and so swift that anyone not in top condition will tire quickly. "You must toughen your'body to be able to stand the pace.

The requirements are just about ten times as severe on ice as in the game off skates. 'Reflexes and coordination, true, they're important. But don't underrate the durability necessary." During 'his school years in Brantford, Ontario, Forgie developed into a standout athlete in football, hockey and badminton. Concentrating on badminton, he to'ured this country during the 1930's as a doubles partner of Ken Davidson, an international champion from whom Forgie learned many of his unbelievable trick shots. Later, when Forgie was teamed with his own pupil, Stig Larson, John H.

Harris, producer of Ice Capades, saw their act and lured them onto the ice where they played some of the fastest badminton ever seen. In the 25 years Forgie has performed on the ice, it has been esimated that his act has been watched by some 35 million people at ice shows and an additional 50 million tele- viewers. Now, in his return to the Ice Ca- pades with a new partner, Forgie once again will be entertaining American audiences with the deft maneuvering of his racquet. Atlhough Forgie rarely misses a shot, he and Shirley Marie sometimes do lose control over the shuttlecock in the arenas where the Ice Capades are appearing. The bird, weighing only of an o'unce, performs some unexpected tricks on tihe tricksters when blown about in the currents coming from air conditioning equipment.

Hoopengardner, has announced that since the recent publication of the possibilities for the organization of night classes for adults, his office has had several inquiries indicating wide interest in the proposals. During the week school children will take 'an announcement home concerning the proposed program. Parents may use the tear sheet to return to the child's principal or he may contact the principal by telephone or he may visit any one of the secondary schools on October 8th or 10th between the hours of 7 and 9 p. m. to 1 indicate his desired courses.

Adult classes will be offered according to the subjects in which the most interest is shown. There is a possibility for adults who have not received their thigh school diploma and who may like to take the equivalence examination to 1 organize class- in review arithmetic or English or general science. In former years classes have been developed in typing, review shorthand, sewing, furniture repair, welding and art. All of these would cost only a $3.00 registration fee plus the cost of any materials or boo'ks purchased by the student. Because of a small state budget in adult education, it is impossible to offer such recreational activities as physical fitness, dramatics, singing, bridge, etc.

with state funds. If there is enough interest in such courses, they may be organized at a cost of $5 per student, plus any materials or books that may be desired. Following the pre-registration for these courses during the week of October 7, Mr. Fred Usilton, director of instruction, will tabulate the results, secure teachers and make known the location and availability of the desired courses. Questions may be directed to the secondary school principals or to Mr.

Usilton at the Board of Education. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Ellwanger entertained at a family dinner at their home near Denton on Sunday in observance of Mr. Ellwanger's 90th birthday on September llth.

In 1902 Mr. Ellwanger married Bessie Anthony and lived on a farm near Greensboro for 16 years. In 1918 they moved to Whiteleysburg, where he was a builder and contractor until he retired in 1951. Since then they have lived near Dento'n. Mr.

Ellwanger is in good health, very active and thoroughly enjoyed gardening during the past summer. Another of his interests is his love for good music and he enjoys his own harmonica. Wheat Trade With Russia Creates A U. S. Question Wheat is bouncing around in the nation's diplomatic, economic and political fields like a football in a play-off.

The "ball" was thrown into action when Canada last week announced a sale of 227.5 million bushels of wheat (including flour) to the Soviet Union, of which 33 million dollars worth is to be shipped directly to Cuba. Australia also recently sold $100 million worth of wheat and flour to the USSR. These deals with Russia have set off a debate in the nation. One side is boosting the cause for increased U. S.

trade with communist countries, while the other side calls for continued curbs. In the middle of the struggle are billions of dollars worth of U. S. surplus wheat. A.

Kenneth Miller, executive secretary of Maryland Farm Bureau, stated that "sales of surplus farm products, such as wheat, to Communist countries raise special problems because of the export subsidies that are necessary to make such products competitive in world markets." The present gap between domestic prices and lower world market prices is about 60c a bushel. Credit provisions are another point of debate. Two acts of Congress would have to be repealed before the U. S. could enter into similar arrangements as involved in the Canadian and Australian: sales.

These prevent the extension of credit to any country that is in default on previous loans. The Soviet Union is in this category. Current Farm Bureau policy, representing the farmers' view, states "we should offer farm products in wo'rld markets whenever it will advance the best interest and security of the United States." Obviously, a policy of this general nature leaves much to judgment and interpretation when applied to a specific situation. "Removal of 400-500 million bushels of wheat from Free World supplies," stated Miller, "would advance clash ort run economic interest. Yet, considering the declared goal of com- More than 16,000 Cubs, Scouts and Explorers of the Del-Mar-Va Council, Bey Scouts of America, will join in the 1963 "Adventure Round-Up" during the next three months as they :V.vite other boys to join in the fun of Scouting.

Review Of Maryland's Traffic Fatalities Given Sixteen perscns were killed on the Maryland highways last week, according to the weekly survey published by the Maryland State -Police.

Five of tho'se killed were drivers; seven were passengers; and four were pedestrians. Speed was a contributing factor in nine of the deaths; alcohol in three; and driver error was present in 12 of the fatalities. "It is true," said Colonel Carey Jarman, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police, "that speed alone does not necessarily result in accidents. But in combination with other factors it can be deadly. For example, when speed is accompanied by driving under the influence, or when speed is accompanied by darkness, or when speed is accompanied by wet or slippery or inadequate highways, or when speed is accomp- panied by driver error, you have in combination a set of factors that are likely to produce accidents.

"While there must be reasonable laws pertaining to speed limits," continued Colonel Jarman, "these limits must be reasonably interpreted in the light of existing circumstances in order to lessen the chances of serious consequences."
