Two Juveniles
Run Away From Camp
Two youths, ages 16 and 17
years, are being held in cus
tody in Anchorage following
their flight Saturday night from
the Youth Conservation Camp
and School here in the valley.
The boys, who have been at
the camp for quite some time,
left the camp Saturday evening
during the showing of a film.
By “hot-wiring” a camp per
sonnel's vehicle, they headed
for Anchorage. The vehicle was
ditched and then abandoned at
about Mile 40 on the Palmer
highway.
The youths then made their
way to the Anchorage area
where one was picked up by
police personnel at 2 a.m. and
the second at about 6 a.m. Both
are being detained by the State
Youth and Adult Authority,
pending action.
This is only the second case

“LO AND BEHOLD”
TICKET SALES
BEGIN THIS WEEK
General admission and re
served seat tickets for the Val
ley Theatre Guild’s forthcom
ing production of “Lo and Be
hold” go on sale in Palmer this
week, according to Barbara
Hamilton, ticket sales chair
man.
General admission tickets
will be $1 each; reserved seat

ances (March 2 and 3). Reserv
ed seat tickets will be on sale
at Kitty’s Kot'fee Mill only
General admission tickets may
be redemed for reserved seats
if desired. Mrs. Hamilton said
the guild is encouraging thea
tre parties.
Changes in the cast have
bjeen made during the past two
weeks. Jack Dodge will be re
placing Ray Holtz in the role
of the mad composer. Holtz re
signed from the role because of
other committments. Jack Ril
ey has been named to the role
Wingate, the attorney.
The amusing, and somewhat
difficult role of the Pulitzer
prize winning writer, is being
ably handled by Larry Kincaid.
His role is that of an extremely
accentric man, who after death,
seeks solitude longed for all
his life. However, for all his
previous plans, when his spirit
returns to a home he expected
to ‘ haunt’’ alone, he finds the
house occupied by ‘‘the cry of
tire wild Ratnaco, Minnetonka
(Small Flower), being portray
ed by Kitty Johnson. The In
dian maid’s spirit has taken up
residence in the house wrhen
the state builds a freeway thr
ough the cliff from which she
had made a lover’s leap. The
mad composer occupies the
house, while on his constant
search for a piano. The role of
a Southern Belle who was mur
iered on her wedding day is
played by Myrtle Hume who
noans and groans that she was
‘shot in the heart . . . and it
rurts”. Harry Exans will be
olaying the part of the doctor;
Vluriel Wattum who takes the
nminine lead role; and Gary
drown.
Lewis McDonald and Dean
3ronson are busy “making
eady’.’ the stage props.
It can be rightfully said that
i fight is a scrap—it’s nothing
nit a waste of effort.
