The area, in and around Scott County and McCreary County, Ky., has been the battleground for years in the fight over controversial and long-stalled Devils Jump Dam on the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River. Many of the economically dis tressed area's residents and their Representatives and senators in Washington have been calling for the construction of a high dam?╟÷Devils Jump?╟÷as an economic shot in the arm for the area. Senators Meet Hartzog But private power companies, lately joined by conservationists, have fought the project. Four times, the Senate has authorized the project. Four times, the House has refused. Thus, the stalemate. The N e w s -S e n t inel has learned that Tennessee Sens. Howard H. Baker Jr. and Albert Gore and Kentucky Sen. Thrus- ton Morton recently gathered for a private luncheon with George B. Hartzog Jr., director of the National Park Service, to discuss a way out of the Devils Jump dilemma. Kentucky Sen. John Sherman Cooper was scheduled to attend but was unable to because of Senate business. Big Attraction Seen It was learned that proposals concerning a national park or a national recreation area were put to Hartzog at the meeting, and that the NPS director was receptive.

He follows the chimps.

That spot on the show bill was to be avoided at all costs and you fired your agent if he allowed such a thing. But Ronnie makes it seem like child's play as he continues his starring role in Holiday on Ice which had its 1969 premiere before 4500 persons last night at Civic Coliseum. PLENTY OF COMPETITION The chimps had the audience laughing and clapping and stomping its feet as they did all kinds of ice skating tricks with their trainers. More than one person leaned over to his neighbor in the next seat to say: "Those monkeys can skate better than I can!" Then there's Paul Andre to contend with, too. He's the top comic skater and one of the most respected performers of the huge cast. Not only does he have to be an excellent skater, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ he must make it look easy, Ronnie is great, make no which he does, much to the de- mistake about it, probably the light of young and old alike. 01*8 39* VT vdiudd greatest male ice skater in the business ?╟÷ yesterday or today and possibly tomorrow. When he's out there on the ice all alone, 10 spotlights trained on him, he seems to be living every mood and movement of his portrayal. Take the "Impossible Dream" number in the Spanish scene of the second half, for instance. His facial expressions and gestures were exciting to behold. It is no doubt the best single number Ronnie has ever done. Ronnie's got to be good to hold his starring rank in this 24th edition of Morris Chalfen's ice extravaganza because the competition is terrific. Chalfen's got talent running out of his ears this year?╟÷Anna Galmarini, M a r e i Langenbein, Alice Quessy, Tommy Allen, the Cook Family, Grete Borgen, Juanita Percelly, etc., etc. CHIMPS BRING LAUGHS And you've got to see Werner and Denise Muller and their 3/oiuieuAQ 7C7 iONnzzva EETy This edition of Holiday on Ice, created and directed by Donn Arden, is fast-moving, beautifully lighted, smoothly choreographed, excellent of sound and costumed out of this world. Veteran HOI fans, pouring out of the Coliseum after the show, said this one has better costumes than any of the seven others which have premiered here.
