"If those aren't seagulls . . . we're in trouble."
Now that school's out, take some time out to see America.
And a great way to see it is on Greyhound with Ameripass1.
The Greyhound Ameripass is your passport to unlimited
travel in the U.S. and Canada. For one economical price, you get
the freedom of over 100,000 miles of Greyhound routes coast to
coast. And you can get an Ameripass for 7, 15, or 30 days.
If you're going straight home, don't forget about
Greyhound's convenient schedules. No matter where you're going,
chances are Greyhound's going there.
So this summer, leave your car at home and go Greyhound
with an Ameripass.
For more information, call you - local Greyhound agent.

U-a-a-Jies and gentlemen! Boys and
cirls of all ages! The circus is in town!
Preparations began Sunday night to
transform the State Fairgrounds Coliseum
into a three-ring Big Top as the 38th
edition of the Lincoln Shrine Circus rolled
into the capital city.
The circus officially begins this
afternoon at 3:30 when the traditional
circus parade makes its way down O Street.
This year's circus features 19 acts, all
new except for the elephants and the
elephant-riding leopards, circus producer
Grace Mcintosh said Monday.
Mcintosh, who has produced the
Lincoln Shrine Circus for the last 15 years,
said this year's show will feature all of the
most popular circus acts including trapeze
artists, high-wire walkers, lions and tigers
and bears, balancing acts and clowns.
The Shrine Circus is being brought
to Lincoln by the Sesostris Temple, more
commonly known as the Shriners.
Jim Mulder, a Shriner and the circus
director, said the main reasons for
presenting the circus are to entertain
children and handicapped people and to
raise money for future Shrine programs.
These programs include public relations
efforts to contact crippled children that
need to go to the Shrine Children's
Hospital in St. Paul. Minn., and providing
funds to transport such children and their
families to the hospital.
Mulder said the Shrine organization
pays about S 100,000 to bring the circus
to Lincoln each year. But the circus grosses
about SI 60,000, and the $60,000 profit is
used to finance other Shriner projects.
Attendance for the circus's 12
performances will be about 30.000 people,
Mulder said. The Fairgrounds Coliseum
seats about 3.800 people. Last year's
total attendance was 33,01 5.
"If we get 3,000 at each performance,
we'll be real happy." Mulder said.
The Shrine Circus is organized as a
collection of acts from around the country.
Mcintosh said she contacts the acts she
wants for each year's circus, organizes the
acts and produces the show for the Shrine
organizations around the state.
Mcintosh, who has been producing
circuses for 20 years, said she also produces
shows around the country for other groups
like police associations and the Kiwanis
Club.
Her circuses always are built around the
most popular acts, like the wild animals,
trapeze acts, clowns and acrobats, she said.
Other acts are added to complete the show.
Acts featured in this year's show will
include Jack Cook's Comedy Car clow n
act; The Stanck's pole-balancing act; the
flying trapeze act of the Great Valencias;
the Maraden Duo's high wire act; lions and
tigers trained and presented by Joseph
Mai can; the Shrine Circus Elephants
trained and presented by Bill and Barbara
Woodcock; and the Quassars, who perform
acrobatic acts around a rocket ship hanging
high above the floor.
" Mcintosh said the Lincoln facility has
more of a circus atmosphere than some of
the other places her circus performs.
"I like this place. It's more circusy,"
she said. "The people are closer. They
enjoy the acts more when they are closer."
Mulder called the Shriners' involvement
in presenting the circus "a pretty big effort
by a lot of people." He said 50 to 70
Shriners volunteer to work as ushers, ticket
and concession sellers and to help decorate
the coliseum. About 700 to 800 people
may be involved in working on the circus
project from October, when the planning
begins, until the April show, he said.
The circus will feature evening and
matinee performances. Evening
performances are at 7:30, Tuesday through
Saturday. Matinee performances are at
2:30 Wednesday through Friday, noon and
3:30 on Saturday and 1 :00 and 4:30 on
Sunday.
April 27 is the deadline for
