Sunday will be
Circus Day'here
By SUSAN McCARY
News-Ttltgram Staff
In a less “sophisticated”
America, before an electronic
gadget could bring the gaudy,
the grand and the glamorous
into our living rooms, the circus
-the “big top”— held our
imaginations as nothing else.
There has been a pervasive
notion that “the circus,” that
glittering,-- Jipisy mixture of
acrobats, aeftalists, animal
acts, clowns ana dancing girls
all gathered together under a
mammouth canvas canopy, is
an "endangered specie” of the
entertainment world that will
soon be, if not already, extinct.
D. R. Miller has bet for 47
years that Americans, from the
small towns and the cities, love
a circus. Miller is the owner of
Carson & Barnes Circus, which
is billed as “the Biggest Big Top
on Earth.”
Miller and the Sulphur
Springs Jaycees are bringing
what may be the last big
traditional American circus to
Sulphur Springs on Sunday.
When Miller takes his show on
the road, which he does for 245
days a year, he is a general with
an army of 250 people, including
support staff, 200 exotic
animals (a mobil zoo), almost
100 horses and ponies, 25
elephants, a brass band, a 380-
foot tent, two stages, hip-
podrome track and a steel
arena, all packed into 81
vehicles. ^
Miller is a showman and a
business man, and as such he
has to be a realist. He points out
that inflation, the energy crisis
and the competition of
television in recent years have
raised questions as to how long
this “traveling bit of American
entertaiment history" will
continue.
While Sarasota, Fla., has
.^become indelibly inked into the
records as the “wintering
place" or home base for cir-
cuses, this “last of the big tops”
calls Hugo, Okla., home. Hugo
the home of a herd of 25
elephants, performers from 17
nations, a million dollar
menagerie on wheels? It is, and
perhaps that is part of the
secret of the show’s survival.
Being from a small town in mid-
America, it hasn't forgotten
what we are all about.
His show, the largest of its
kind appearing under local
sponsorship, reportedly raised
more than 3750,000 for the local
civic, service and charitable
organizations in the towns that
sponsored the show last year.
And considering the one or two-
day economic impact that the
purchase of fuel for 81 vehicles,
hay, animal food, water and
provisions for more than 200
people, the show is a financial
“giver" as well as “taker”
from its host communities.
It is the kind of small town
savvy that says “you come
when you're invited, mind your
manners while there and leave
something besides a mess for
the host-hostess when you go."
This is a different America
than the one P. T. Bamum and
the Ringlings traveled. There
are city zoning codes, en-
vironmental considerations
< what do you do with all those
tons of manure?) and the
S.P.C.A. sponsored and
monitored regulations on the
housing, care and use of
animals. While we may not
always treat the handicapped
as full participating citizens of
our society, society has
matured to the point that it is no
longer respectable to display
“freaks.”
So there have been changes,
and not all of those changes
been ones to heave sighs of
nostalgia over their passing.
But in Carson & Barnes 5-
Ring Circus, there are still
young men on the flying
trapeze, jugglers, pretty girl
bareback riders, tight wire
acts, dogs and ponies, clowns
and a pretty girl in spangles
who puts her head into a lion's
mouth, all while a brass band
belts out what may be the most
spine-tingling of all American
music - circus music.
Ocean Spray offers
new paper containers
Joe Dan and Gwynn Kamey,
Gwynn’s parents, Mr. and
rs. Martin Kraatz, spent
Sunday with Thelma CUfton.
Mary and Junior Lawrence
Floyd and wife were there
Sunday afternoon.
Betty Sue Johnson, Gay Lou
Haley and June Vessel came
from Dallas Thursday to help
their mother, Mildred Chap-
man, celebrate her birthday.
Ruth Chapman was there
Monday. Modena Horn was
there in the afternoon.
Danny Moss suffered a
broken leg while riding his
bicycle along the road, and was
hit by a car Monday.
Fruit juices and juice-drinks
are now being offered
throughout the Southeast and
Southwest by Ocean Spray
Cranberries, Inc., in new shelf-
stable flexible containers.
Requiring no refrigeration or
freezing—from the processing
plant to the consumer's home—
the airtight, rectangualr
package resembles a single-
serving cereal container.
This innovative packaging
process, using an “anseptic”
processing system, sterilizes
juices or drinks at high tem-
peratures for a few seconds
before being quickly cooled.
The liquid is then filled into the
separately sterilized packaging
material.
Used internationally for
years, the aseptic packaging
system was approved by the
Food and Drug Administration
in 1981. Ocean Spray, a
marketing cooperative tiased in
Plymouth, Mass., was the first
U.S. company to introduct it
comercially in this country,
when it began test marketing in
New England in June 1981. The
new container, is now being
introduced in Florida, Georgia,
Alabama, Louisiana,
Oklahoma, and Texas.
The new container is light-
weight, unbreakable, easy-to-
handle, and disposable. In
addition, there is a consumer
savings of 10 to 20 percent per
ounce for the 8.5 oz. single-
serving cans of Ocean Spary
drinks.
MRS. U.S. Williams of
Sulphur Springs, who is
recovering from an injury
received in an accident, has
returned home after spending a
week with her daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Thurman Alcorn in Yantis.
J.N. OWENS, plant manager,
reports that Sii McEvoy,
Division of Smith International
Inc., in Tyler laid off 108 of its
300 employees Wednesday. The
layoffs were blamed on a
depressed oilfield equipment
market.
