Trouble Champagne is a bev­ erage that makes you see double and feel single. -Tribune, Chicago. Happiness It's not your position that determines your hap­ piness or lack of it. It's your disposition. -Journal, Washington, la. It was Gertrude Lawrence who first realized that the story of Anna Leonowen's experience in Siam in the 1860's would be excellent material for a play or musical. She suggested the idea of making it into a musical to her attorneys who then con­ tacted Rogers & Hammerstein. In the true story, as well as the stage version, widowed Anna came to Siam with her child to teach English to the King's children. King Mongkut of Siam, a barbaric yet char­ ming man, was confused by the influence of Western culture and Western government permeating his kingdom. He soon discovered that Mrs. Leonowens' strong will mat­ ched his own, that he could not dominate her as he did other women of his kingdom, and that she had a vast knowledge of the outside world which fascinated him. A mutual admiration, totally removed from any romantic interest developed between the two. After the death of the King, Anna, in real life and play form, stayed in Siam to help her former student, the young Crown Prince who became King of a country, which in modern world is called Thailand. This story based on fact, is as in real life, often funny, often sad, with subplots and other characters woven into the tapestry of the play. It was because of the very powerful personalities in the story, as well as the splendor and beauty of the period, that the Town Square Players of Woodstock enthusiastically selected the King and I as the first production of the 1978-79 season. - Performances will be at the opera house in Woodstock on Nov. 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17 and 18. Performances will begin at 8 p.m and Sunday matinees are at 3 p.m. For additional information, or to purchase tickets, call Karen Wills at 815-338-4821, or write her at 3025 Alden road, Woodstock, 111., 60098 Group rates are available Johnsburg Mary L.

Steele feels He said the reserve would be needed to offset poor production years, which are expected during 3 of 10 years because of adverse weather He said the delegation did not get a full grasp of the Soviet capability of handling a reserve, although the United States Department of r Agriculture estimates that storage is available Soviet Union for 240 the a: in t° £o; ,j million metric tons of grain,' ' , Steele said the Soviet ^ leadership may see that the.-^ U S product is abundant and a good buy. and that they " find some way to store it ^ Others on the trip were Farm , pj Bureau Presidents Mariqn^^ Stackhouse.
