^ WEST ^ "endcr Newton benefit Nobody wanted Wayne to leave

By MICHAEL ROGERS Herald Staff Writer It was a million dollar perfor­ mance given by an amazing Wayne Newton last night at the Sportsplex before a capacity crowd of almost 7,000 people. Some of those dedicated fans had come from as far away as Chicago, 111., and Vancouver B.C., to see and hear the Las Vegas headliner. This was a charity concert that grossed about $75,000. Organizers estimate at least $65,000 will be available to be divided between the Lethbridge Association for the Men­ tally Retarded and Notre Dame College in Wilcox, Sask. The Leth­ bridge organization will use the money to purchase a mobile parent- training unit. Newton's performance, based on fun and emotion, drew several standing ovations during the show. > Newton's own troupe, his regular Las Vegas band, was superlative. The Calgary Symphony Orchestra's performance was crowning. To­ gether they were unbelievable, un­ rivaled. It must be noted here that the combination was first made Thursday afternoon during a five- hour rehearsal. When Wayne Newton slowed things down and sang softly, you could actually feel the emotion flow­ ing across the huge crowd. And he certainly had listeners. During one medley of love songs there was total silence throughout the arena as Newton sang accompanied only by conducter-arranger Don Vincent on piano. When he sang uptempo he found himself surrounded by an audience thoroughly enjoying the music and strongly receptive. "What a crowd," he said several times. "Eat your heart out Robert Gulp,V he added once.

— here a milestone By DON PILLING Herald Managing Editor Today is Wayne Newton Day in Lethbridge as the multi- talented American entertainer is scheduled to appear tonight at the Sportsplex in a benefit concert. His performance here marks a milestone in Canadian entertainment circles. It is his first appearance in Canada in eight years, the first time he's ever performed for a charity outside the United States and only one of two such perfor­ mances he will make in 1976. He and his entire Las Vegas nightclub troupe will leave Lethbridge Friday by charter flight for Santa Barbara, Calif, for his second benefit Saturday. He will be greeted by a capacity crowd of 6,500 when he steps onto the Sportsplex stage tonight. All proceeds from the concert are earmarked for the purchase of a mobile parent-training unit for the Lethbridge Association for the Mentally Handicapped and.Notre Dame College in Wilcox, Sask., the boys' school founded and built by the late Monsignor Athol Murray. Tickets for the concert were completely sold out six weeks ago in the greatest demand for tickets to any event in the history of Lethbridge. Sold out first day All 6,500 seats were sold the first day, with fans lining up as early as 2:30 in the morning prior to the box office opening at 8 a.m. • The native of Virginia who has shattered all records in* Nevada entertainment circles is appearing here under the auspices of his long-time Lethbridge friend, Gary Kirk. "Wayne has come to Lethbridge as a personal favor to me," Mr. Kirk said this morning. "That's the kind of friend he is, and words can never express how grateful I am for what he is doing in making a dream come true for me. He is waiving a personal appearance fee and is paying all the expenses for his own people. He won't accept a dime for any expenses of any kind. He is a great entertainer and a great human being." Under the astute guidance of her personal manager, Jay Stream, the 34-year-old performer has reached superstar status and is considered by many the greatest all-round entertainer in the world. He completed a record breaking five-week run last week at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas and returns for a two-month stay August 4. He is currently working on the second year of a five-year contract with the Summa Corporation of Nevada, a contract es­ timated to be worth $35 million. In his career he has appeared for over 675 weeks which represents over 13,000 appearances before more than 6.5 million people in Nevada alone. Because of his heavy nightclub commitments, his recording schedule is slightly curtailed but he has still sold in excess of 15 million records with his biggest hit, Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast, selling over five million copies. Another top hit His release, The Hungry Years, written for him by WAYNE NEWTON Neil Sedaka, is a best-seller and in the top 20 in the musical charts.

He has lived on the desert ever entertainment package since. In Phoenix he had his own television show at the age of 12 and four years later signed a contract with the Fremont Hotel in Las Vegas. in Lethbridge history In 1962 he was asked to return to Phoenix to perform at a Tonight's Wayne Newton benefit concert at the Sportsplex celebration honoring the renowned comedian and television will be the biggest and most lavish entertainment package ever star, Jackie Gleason, who promptly signed him to appear on presented in Lethbridge.

C- aa^^j Not to mention dropping everything to lend a hand to her husband if the situation warranted. "When I look back, I wonder how in the world I did it," says Mrs. Heher. "I loved the outdoors work, preferred it to housework. I wonder what city women do with their time? It must be terribly boring some­ times . . ." Now that she's a 'city woman' herself, Mrs. Neher has involved herself in a number of activities to "keep busy." She's a volunteer for the Canadian Mental Health Association, has taken several upgrading courses at the Lethbridge Community College and plans to take two more this winter. "It's a different kind of happiness," she says. "We don't have the we had on the farm. We don't _a have the guilt feelings about keeping up with all the work." "I'm very happy now," she says. "We both really needed the change to enjoy the fruits of our labor. If we had stayed on the farm, we would have kept on working, even if we didn't need to." But the Nehers miss the solid satisfaction that comesjrom toiling for yourself, being your own boss.

"We were very successful farmers," she recalls "My husband is a perfectionist. We put in long hours never took holidays . . . The Nehers' two sons are still farming in the Dia­ mond City region, and their parents visit them regu­ ys larly. "We go out to the (sons') farm at least once every two weeks — last summer we were out there everv day." ' But seeing their former farm in someone else's hands is a painful, experience for most retired is_> l farmers. No matter who buys it, or how carefully it's tended, retired farmers can't help but think they could be doing a better job! "I don't really like to drive by and see it," says Mrs ' Neher. "The changes bother me. I guess I still can't really part with it." She mourns the loss of the farm­ yard which she and her husband landscaped "just the way we wanted."

^ It's the biggest game in town, even though the stakes are relatively small most of the time. Bingo! The main games in the city are played Monday night at the Labor Club, Wednesday at the Legion and Thursday at the Elks. The players are steadily increasing week to week, say spokesmen at the clubs. Small games are put on around the city by women's groups and church organizations. Bingo without a doubt is the most popular form of gambling there is. And there are those who even claim it isn't really gambling, just a fun game, something to pass the time. Monday night at the Labor Club more than 320 devotees were there to pass the time. Some went home a little richer, but most had to settle for the enjoyment of an evening out. Standard game There are 16 games played each Monday night, most are standard games with payments from $10 to $20. Other games have prizes from $25 to $50. The big one of the night is the no number limit blackout for $500. The games begin at 8 p.m. It's not exactly an action - packed evening, but many are there faithfully each week. "You wouldn't believe it. You'd call me a liar if you didn't see it yourself," says Del Winters, a member of the Labor Club board of directors. "Some of them are here at 6 p.m. to pick cards. They gotta have a certain number in a certain place before they'll play the card. They have to have their own special 'lucky' , place to sit too." The caller Monday night was Sid Doe. He and the other Labor Club callers don't make use of those bingo expressions like 'clickity - click 66' he says, "because we don't believe in wasting time. The people come here to play." The Labor Club members, if they want to drink while playing the game, take up position in the beverage room downstairs. Non - members play in the main room upstairs. 'Play for blood3 Bert Standing, another Labor Club director says downstairs some nights, there are a few who get to drinking too much and get a little noisy. "The bar manager gives them one war­ ning. When the numbers are being called it's very quiet both up and downstairs. "These people, they play for blood, most are a dedicated hunrh " he_sa_s The Sansome family from Vulcan didn't win anything Monday night but they're among the lucky bingo players — $800 ahead since the beginning of the year. They claim to be without superstition when it comes to bingo, just "damn lucky." Reg Sansome and his wife Ethel are the big winners in the family, pulling in approximate­ ly $2,500 since they began playing the game about three years ago. Along with their sons, Paul, 25, and John, 30, the Sansomes play an average of 35 cards at least twice a week. A young Lethbridge couple got hooked on the game through TV bingo, checked the news­ paper for other games and found themselves eyes down on 15 cards Monday night — un­ lucky the first time out, but determined to try MONDAY NIGHT OFFERS $500 JACKPOT AT LABOR CLUB again. A woman who declined to give her name says she plays regularly at least three times a week for the last four years. "You might win now and then, but you never get ahead. I guess maybe I am a bingo fanatic." RICKERVIN photographs $1,000 a year

Rasmus and Norma Anderson of Fort Macleod have been coming to Lethbridge a couple times a week to play bingo for the last 10 years. "Don't ask how much we've won," says Mr. Anderson, "ask how much we've lost." Several people at the Monday night game admitted spending about $1,000 a year AGNES WRIGHT ED LITTLEBEAR PAUL MUNOHI on the game. "I'm not a fanatic about the game, but it does get in your blood all right! When it was all over, I was two numbers away from the big $500 jackpot . . . two numbers. If I'm not careful I'll find myself there again next week. The big winner of the night was Arthur Mar­ tin, of 611 7th Ave. S. "I'm here every week," he says. "And this is the first time I've taken the jackpot here. I've won at the Elks. Been playing 18 years, and I've only got one superstition about the game. I won't play with a card that has the number 63 on it."

Old hands at our three beet fac­ tories, Picture Butte, Fort Garry, and Taber, are looking forward to this year's campaign with especial glee: no longer will they have to work on a plate and frame filter press! Plate and frame presses were in general use when the factories were built — 1935, 1940 and 1950. They were tough and efficient, but were hard to work and could be pretty cantankerous. Replacement began a couple of years ago with, the installa­ tion of Grand Pont continuous fil­ ters, which filter the juice after sec­ ond carbonation. Now the job is completed with the installation of automatic Sparkler filters for stan­ dard liquor. Andy Bosma prepares floor for Sparklers at The filters were designed by the Picture Butte. (Photo: Don Boras) Sparkler Manufacturing Company of Conroe, Texas and are manufac­ tured under licence in Toronto. Each factory is getting a set of 3 at a cost of $29,000 — $37,000 each, depending on the size. The design is noted for its simplicity and efficiency and has* won several awards.
