CASPER Kids watched kids, Shriners officiated and everyone marveled at the elephants as the, rain -delayed circus parade finally got underway. Under alternately clear and cloudy skies, kids with painted faces gathered at Park and Second streets Thursday morning to take part in the traditional kick-off to the Shrine Circus in Casper a day late. Clowns aged 3 to 12, with noses and faces In the colors of the rainbow and all varieties of yarn hair and baggy helped Shriners brighten up the downtown streets Many of the clowns got Into the Bicentennial spirit with Betsy Rosses, Minulemen and Paul Reveres adding a historical counterpoint to the more traditional circus costumes.

Some of the younger ones scheduled to take part in the parade decided at the last minute to become spectators instead of participants. They took up spots along the parade route with the other children who had gathered to watch and clapped and laughed along with the rest of the crowd. Kids on the sidewalks waved to kids marching in the streets, their expressions making It difficult to assess which group was having more fun. Bringing up the rear of the parade were the elephants, one of the biggest draws of any circus. The three docile giants drew many oohs and aahs from the young spectators and marchers, as they traveled down the city streets linked trunk to tail In the best circus fashion.

The youngsters forgot even the awarding of the prizes for the best costumes for a few moments as they paused at the end of the route to watch as the elephants were loaded Into their truck for the trip back to the fairgrounds. tv I i CASPER AMATEUR HOCKEY CLUB THERE WILL BE A HOCKEY EQUIPMENT SALE AT OX SPORTING GOODS 249 N.

The late Allen W.

Dulles, director of the CIA when the plots began and a member of the seven-man commission, might have been expected to reveal the schemes, Helms intimated to a special Senate committee. i A 106-page Senate study of Intelligence community cooperation or lack of it with the Warren Commission was published Wednesday. It revealed the commission did not explore the possibility of a "Cuban connection" between the CIA plots and Kennedy's assassination. "Mr. Allen Dulles was a member of the Warren Commission and the first assassination plot happened during his time as director," Helms told Sen.

Frank Church July 18, 1975 in testimony published for the first time in the new study. "What he said to the Warren Commission about this I don't know. "But at least he was sitting right there, in the commission's deliberations and knew about this, and I am sure that the same thought that occurred to you must have occurred to him." CALL JERRY McKIN 234-9 1 17 234-9117 Hospital to get scanner CASPER The state Comprehensive Health Planning Advisory Council Wednesday approved a $1.75 million Improvement project for Natrona County Memorial, Hospital. Hospital administrator Lewis Spencer said approval at the state level met an important federal requirement. State approval is necessary before patients whose treatment involves facilities financed by the project can be eligible for such federal assistance as Medicare and Medicaid.

The project will finance such new equipment as a $450,000 CT scanner, which Spencer called "a tremendous breakthrough in 'diagnostic radiology," and a $450,000 cardiac catherization unit. The scanner will be Wyoming's first, while Lander has the only hospital with a catherization unit, he said. Also planned is a $600,000 "general replacement, updating and upgrading" of existing X-ray "-equipment. Many expensive pieces, Spencer said, are 15-18 years old and "flat worn out." Another $300,000 is earmarked for remodeling existing facilities to accommodate the new equipment, he said. Spencer cited two means to finance the project, noting that half the cost will be met by funds already on hand.

"The Hospital Board has set aside money for years," he said. The other half, he said, will come from loans secured by the recently established non-profit Natrona County Memorial Hospital Foundation. 1cs Parsons WYOMING'S MUSIC EDUCATION CENTER "135 So.
