All in the Commerce tent at the time County Twins Win Continued From Page Two sets of Waukesha county twins placed in the look-alike contest held Monday at the State Fair as part of Children's Day activities.

Committee Urged for KMH WALES Newly elected Kettle Moraine school board member Marvin Baker was appointed by the board Monday night to set up a public relations committee. Baker said today after future board meetings a written press release will be given to the newspapers in an attempt to eliminate the possibility of mistakes made 1 in telephone conversations. There will be no attempt to control the news, according to Baker. He said a reporter, after reading the press release, will be able to question any information in it and ask for explanations.
The committee will not necessarily be made up of school board members but of anyone in the area concerned with better communications between the board and the public. At Monday night's meeting Lad Lake was again discussed but not the proposals to bring the school for emotionally disturbed boys into the Kettle Moraine system. At the July board meeting a member of the Lad Lake staff presented such a proposal to the board but discussion of the matter was tabled indefinitely before the annual meeting July 28. Baker said he also made a motion Monday night to table further discussion of bringing the boys into the system. He says the present policy of accepting some of the boys into area schools will not change.
It is not an issue of whether or not the boys should be brought into the system, according to Baker. He says "kids in the common school area have the right to enter the school system, it seems to me." Baker moved to table any more discussion of the matter because he said there was no reason to argue about it any longer. "If we want to keep harmony," Baker said, "'We can't keep bringing up these small irritations." Name Unit on Ambo Service EAST TROY A five man committee of members of the East Troy volunteer rescue squad was appointed last night to study the feasibility of the squad operating an ambulance service for the village and the town. The committee is the result of the Anderson funeral home, East Troy, discontinuing its ambulance service to the area. Funeral directors in Mukwonago and Eagle also stopped service, although Guequierre funeral home in Mukwonago will operate its ambulance the rest of this month.
Frank Cline, East Troy town chairman, said today he spoke to the annual meeting of the fire and rescue squad Monday night and presented his ideas for an ambulance service. Cline said the problem is not the purchase of a vehicle but its operation. He said the number of men needed to operate an ambulance and be on standby (about eight men) involves a large expense both to the taxpayers and to the men who must take time off work in case the ambulance is needed. The idea Cline presented would allow the surrounding communities of Burlington, Elkhorn, Waterford and Palmyra to handle East Troy area ambulance needs. In the case of an emergency, such as poisoning, severe bleeding or a heart attack, the East Troy rescue vehicle would respond, with an ambulance remaining back for a back-up vehicle.
The committee, appointed by Ken Pluess, fire chief, will report its findings to Cline and Virgil Whitmore, village president. Named to Plan Commission DELAFIELD The city council has approved the appointment of Donald Momsen, 4015 Sackett Lane, Hartland, to the Plan Commission.

Lopez said it rained and thundered at first, then everything happened in a few seconds. "Nobody expected it," she said. "The children were very scared," she continued, "They were in shock." Even last night, Enriove was still very excited, she said. Having moved here from Mexico only one year ago, this was the first time any of the Lopez family had visited a Wisconsin State Fair. Enriove's only reaction after the calamity was to go back to Mexico.
An estimated 75,000 people were on the fairgrounds at the time of the mishap. About 2,000 were in the Commerce tent and more than 600 crowded the performance of the Tahitian Revue which was housed in a tent 80 by 110 feet. As winds in excess of 50 miles per hour blasted the tents and eventually toppled them, one observer reported seeing park benches hurled through the air. About 20 ambulances from West Allis and surrounding communities took people to the Milwaukee hospitals. Others were treated at aid stations on the fairgrounds.

The 964-pound Black Angus was bought by the Pabst Brewing Co. for $5,157.40 and, the firm said, would be given to the Veterans Administration Women Are Behind, but Gaining On Menfolk in Television Shows HOLLYWOOD (AP) Television is a man's game, as a quick look at the three network entertainment schedule will prove. After all, in a medium well stocked with action and adventure, it is logical that the incidence of male stars is greater than that of women. But the distaff side is registering some prime-time gains.
Top-drawer TV stardom consists of naming a show after the performer. Next season there will be 16 shows with such tags, and six will star women. Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Doris Day return in their series, their ranks swelled by Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Uggams and the Lennon Sisters, with new shows. Action shows like "Ironside," and "Mannix" inject a feminine balance by casting pretty girls as assistants or Girl Fridays, but Peggy Lipton of "Mod shares top billing with the two young male leads. There would not be much show left if the Barbara Eden part of "I Dream of Jeannie" were Kenneth L.

While Wendland issued a statement to the press, which was read over loudspeakers Monday evening, stating that the tents had been inspected by state inspectors, a West Allis proprietor who exhibited in the Commerce tent, complained the tents were unsafe. She said a rainstorm came up while she was setting up her display last Friday, and the tent Started billowing while the ends were flapping. Although she reported it to a policeman on the fair grounds, and he returned with her to view the situation, he told her they always have that kind of treuble, she said. Other Commerce tent exhibitors complained of the violent flapping, but a man who claimed to be in charge of erecting tents at the fair for an Illinois tent company said tent flaps have no bearing on the soundness of the structure. He said guidelines on the interior of the tent were secured by three foot steel stakes.

Barbara Feldon is essential to "Get Smart," and Eva Gabor's gentle comedy gives "Green Acres" its spice. Undisputed stars of their series are Diahann Carroll of "Julia," Marlo Thomas of "That Girl," Elizabeth Montgomery of "Bewitched," Sally Field of "The Flying Nun." And it appears that Lana Turner will be the dominating figure in "'The Survivors," a new dramatic series. When situation comedy is popular, women's roles become more important.
