NASHVILLE, TENN. (AP) — Trumpeter Al Hirt and saxophonist Ace Cannon, virtuosos at coaxing blue- ribbon music from their hotns, flew in the same com- mercial airliner last spring and met for the first time when they claimed their bag- gage Hirt is 61 and Cannon is 50, but the two had never met or performed together during their illustrious careers until they bumped into each other while getting their suitcases at the Nashville airport last March They had a common mis sion: to record a historic duet album of country music clas sics For two days, they re corded the album, All-Time Country Greats, which was released in July and now is being sold by television mar keting Included on the album are country music evergreens like Always on My Mind, Rhinestone Cowboy, I Can't Stop Loving You, Make the World Go Away, Rocky Top, Rose Garden, Everything is Beautiful, For the Good tor’s item — two of the pre- mier instrumentalists in the U.S. playing some of the best-known standards of their era — and recording together for the first time. They knew one another would be on the plane, but Hirt was seated in the back and Cannon was in the front so they flew into Nashville without meeting. “We got to the baggage check and my wife said, ‘You idiot, there he is,” “” Cannon recalled, chuckling. Cannon had sold two mil lion albums through televi sion ads since 1981, and pro- | ducer Mark Mathis figured combining Hirt and Cannon on another album would be equally attractive. The country styling is nothing new to the grey haired Cannon, who has been playing country music for the past few years. In 1977, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for his instrumental version of the country song Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, which was popularized vocal ly by Willie Nelson. ae Royal Canadian Legion | Branch No. 170 CABARET Friday & Saturday in ¥ Avenue. and her wild-man driver (Patrick Swayze). .

For many years, Curtis was on the outs with her father. “But then I'did some growing up and so did he.

Yet hardly anybody knows his name. In fact, many of the letters come addressed: “Dear Sir.” But Bill Owen, the invisible announcer on ABC's early morning newscast, is making a name for himself, developing a following as the voice who drops lumps of " mation into our coffee. x I think the audi is just the boy and girl (Bell and Sullivan) until Bill comes back,” \said Rick Kaplan, former executive producer of the morning broadcast and now top producer on Nightline. Some examples of the tasty tidbits that Owen delivers before each commercial: “The post office guarantees there's only one-tenth of a calorie in the glue on a postage stamp.” “Whiskey is spelled with an ‘e’ if it’s from Ireland, without an ‘e’ if it's from Scotland.” “If you count the number of chirps of the North American cricket in 15 seconds, add 37, you have the temperature in Fahrenheit degrees.” SEES DIFFERENCE These five-second exit lines tap into North America’s pursuit of trivia, but Owen says there's a difference. “I feel it's information, fun information,” he said. “Trivia comes more from show business and sports, and really is of no import. But some of these are useful, good facts to put in your head. “Ty'S* dot imgottam who-ted the “nmjor leagues “in triples in 1926. But it’s interesting that Roger Maris (who holds the single-season home run record with 61) did not hit his first homer until the 10th game in '61.” For Owen, the greatest compliment is when someone in the control room says, “Wow, I didn't know that.” He's also proud that a school class in Harrisville, Pa., discusses some of his gems, which come from a variety of books and magazines. Other people collect stamps or crabgrass. Owen col lects pieces of information. “I guess I have a compulsion to educate people in a painless manner,” he said. “I'm always entertaining the neighbors’ kids and my own family with information, but I never knew it would go anywhere. “I used to just do the time, then I started varying it, getting bolder and bolder. Then I did quotations and that seemed to catch on. One morning there were a few extra seconds to fill, and I threw in a fact. I grew like topsy.” He now does 2,000 a year, eight per hour on the morning news. Some can be described as non-current events: “The first person to lose a U.S. presidential election was Thomas Jefferson. He lost to John Adams. George Washington had been unopposed.” “Nero could not have fiddled while Rome burned the fiddle wasn't invented until a thousand years after his reign as emperor.” “Jack Dempsey was once knocked out by a sparring partner future billionaire J. Paul Getty.” Owen tries not to get into political and religious areas for fear of offending some listeners. He's also very careful to pay attention to the neweast. “If a story leading into the break doesn’t warrant a light-hearted one, I'll just sign off with the time,” he said. But it’s the strange-but-true morsels that leave many viewers talking to the sereen and wondering Who was that masked man? - Crews quell fire FERNIE (CP) — Forestry combined with a series of crews have contained a forest fire which threatened a Shell Resources rig in the Flathead Valley about 50 kil ometres southeast of here.

By FRAN CORMIER We need to pray for our govertments, from the local city hall to the provinelal and federal governments so that we may live according to God's promise, says Arne Bryan, founder and head of Prayer Canada. Bryan was in this area jast week to encourage residents to pray. Bryan began in November 1977 with just one other man in Surrey to pray seriously: for Canada’s leaders. This was the first of the special prayer meetings which grew in over 40 prayer centres across Canada where con- cerned people now meet weekly to pray for individual leaders. Weekly prayer meetings have also been set up in city halls with permission. Bryan said there is a choice: to obey or to disobey God's word. When people obey, he said, they can an- ticipate results even locally as were experienced this year by Nanainto city-pouncil. Nanaimo Mayor Frank Ney stated, “In the last two months since they’ve been having a Prayer Canada meeting in our city hall, our more business in the two Your choice of one gate admission to Calaway Park or three tickets for rides at Heritage Park.

Quake jolts Idaho CHALLIS, IDAHO (AP) — A strong earthquake rattled parts of three states early today, shaking some resi- dents awake and prompting the shutdown of a nuclear The quake struck at about 3:52 am. local time, said Custer County sheriff's dis- patcher Diane’ Leaton, and was reported felt ‘more than 260 kilometres away, in Spo- Kalispell, Mont. At the Idaho National En- ginnering Laboratory near Idaho Falls, operators who felt the quake decided to shut down a U.S. navy propulsion reactor, said laboratory spokesman Peter Mygatt. The reactor likely would be returned to service immedi- ately, Mygatt said. The quake registered 5.2 on the Richter scale of ground motion, said Russ Needham, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Sur vey Earthquake Information Centre in Golden, Colo. He said the quake was centred about 24 kilometres east of Challis and about 210 kilometres northeast of Boi se. On Oct. 28, 1982, two chil- dren were killed in Challis when the strongest earth- quake to rattle the conti- guous 48 states in 24 years sent the facade of a building tumbling on them. That quake, which regis- tered 7.3 on the Richter scale and caused millions of dollars in damage, was followed by numerous aftershocks, in cluding a quake registering 4.6 on Dec. 11 Cassia County sheriff's dis- Pay TV troubled VANCOUVER (CP) — World View pay television has been placed in receiver- ship, but company president Kent Lee says the company is in no danger of folding.
