THE HAILEYBURIAN and COBALT POST Ltd. -- [ See by THE PAPERS NEW YORK -- The-piano player hung from a rafter with one arm anc leg while he waved the other arm and leg widly as if the were being stung by a thousand 'bees. The dancing mob below him went mad with delight. "That fellow up there sure is having himself a 'ball," said my date, as we sat down at a table so small it would crowd a midget, My date was actress Shirley. MacLaine. The place was the Peppermint Lounge, home of that new dance craze, "the 'twist', where beat- niks and cafe society notables bump, hips in a new and moving form of demoncracy. Very moving. . Shirley 'had to come to,New. York to get a little big city background atmosphere for her next picture, "Two for the Seesaw". But like most visitors the. first place she wanted toe see was the Peppermint Lounge. At midnight the Peppermint Lounge resembled a cross between a saloon on pay night and a hos- pital. psychopathic ward duning manic hour. Everything went -- from sweat- shirt to silk gown. 'Everybody was doing it -- "the twist'? -- as the band blared, "Ir- resistible You" to a mad jungle beat. They were screaming and jabbering as if 10,000 biting ants were crawling over their bodies, and they were trying 4o.shake them off. That is the basic movement of "tthe twist". The ear-cracking noise and the beat-beatbeat of ithe band: went on and on. and. on. After a. while I found. I was twitching in my seat in time to the music. Some of the ants must have brushed off andfallen on me. Then I noticed Shirley was. twitch- ing too. Some of the. ants. must have fallen on her. Shirley looked over at me with a |The find was turned over to po- question in her eyes. But I ama bashful, coward, "T'd love to!" I shouted to her. "But I've got the gout." The bandleader, young Joey Dee, then stepped over to Shirley. She was on her 'feet in an instant. The mob magically cleared a sapace and Shirley and Dee did "the twist' like it's never 'been done before -- not even in the Peppermint Lounge. Shirley's blue eyes flashed, her red hair bounced. For ten minutes she wiggled. and jiggled and shook and shimmied while tthe room rock- ed with the mob's screams of de- light. Finally, exhausted, Shirley waved a "no more" sign at the band and came back to our table. "You have to be 12 years old to do 'the twist',"' she said, and gave a wonderful belly laugh, 'the kind that. takes a man's heart away. What a sense of fun that; girl has! As we left one of the young beat- niks smiled at me and said pity- ingly: , "Better wrap your muffler around tight, Daddy-o, It's cold outside,"' BUCKINGHAM, Que. -- A rab- bit hunt turned up mysterious treasure for two Buckingham youngsters. George Gauthier, ten, and Jimmy Pearson, nine, chased a rabbit into some bushes on the outskirts of town and found a partly-hidden cot- ton bag. Inside were $150 in cash, three $100 bonds, a $1,000 life insurance policy, two gold pocket watches, some tools and personal effects. lice. Preliminary investigation indi- cated the valuables had belonged to John Teske, a district farmer who died January 10. Police now are trying to find out how the treasure got there.

Shinn, 72, his 70-year-old wife and their grandson moved, out of their five-room house for a rest after. the antics of a mischievous '"'ghost" left them sleepless.

The Shinns have come up with another poltergeist story. A polter- geist is a noisy ghost and the name sometimes carries a connotation of mischief. For more than a year, something has been bothering the Shinns in their house, three miles west of this west Arkansas town. They say that: The family Bible floats through tthe living room; furniture is suddenly overturned; chairs fly from the kitchen into the living- room; two figurines were smash- ed against the back of Shinn's head. Charles Elbert Shaeffer, 15, the grandson who 'lives with the elder- ly couple, says the cover has been jerked off his bed in the middle of the night -- when there appaar- ently was no one else in the room. And Shinn said his wife talk- ed to the "ghost". Awakened one night by howling and hissing sounds, Shinn said, Mrs. Shinn asked whatever it was to be quiet. It didn't. Then she ask- ed 'to go to sleep: "I don't sleep," came the re- ply," Shinn said. "Would you let me sleep?" Mrs. Shinn asked, "You don't need to sleep. eith- ther," was the answer. KINGSTON, Ont. -- against having twins are said to be about 80 to one. They don't mean a thing to Mrs. Beverley Rea, though. The 26-year- old brunette is the mother of seven children under the age of six and has had three sets of twins in a row. Mrs. Rea and her husband, Paul, had no inkling of what they were in child was born 5% years ago. A year-and-a-half later along came Paula and Patti. Twenty-one months ago Michelle and Michael arrived. A few weeks ago Diane aand David appeared on the scene. "Just fine!" was Beverley's. re- ply when asked how she felt aboui having so many so quickly. She admitted, however, there had been moments of panic but with the help of friends and family, they've come through. "We worried when our family, jumped from one to three when the first set of twins was born and again when, the second set came along, but somehow we have al- Ways managed." Mr. Rea is an advertising sales- man for the Kingston Whig- Standard. On days when his wife does the washing and is up at 5:30 a.m., he feeds the older children breakfast. "Days when he has to work at this time are pretty rugged," she admitted as she sat curled up on a chesterfield in the evening. 'But somehow we always manage to get through." Mrs. Kea had diaper service un- til the arrival of the last set of twins. Now she has an automatic clothes drier and feels she can manage by herself. None of the Rea's three sets of twins is identical and the parents are thankful for that. Each child is different and the Reas feel they are basically happier in each oth- er's company as a result. An---aceomplished - seamstress, Beverley sews most of the girls' elothes. as well:as her own. The biggest. item in the family cloth- ing. budget is shoes. "Paul's first words every payday when he comes in the door are, "Who needs shoes this time?'" "I thought four and Paul wanted two, and now look at us -- we have seven."' ; , All-time Record For GM Sales -All-time sales. wecords. for No- vember. and. forthe. model year to. date..
