NORMAN DAHARSH, TAXI DRIVER, is taking successful farmers; Jerry Dunn, Glen Wilkerson, and David Thompson, to the airport. They are on their way to a big international stock show. Oh, oh! It looks like he’s getting a ticket for speeding from Corporal Cletus Klein, who has been hiding behind that billboard which says: Vote for John Forsyth for City Light Commissioner. NOW LET’S LOOK at that enterprising radio station KCNI. Lowell Spencer is conducting a quiz program. Imo Jeanne Pierce, career woman, has just missed the jackpot question and now all that money will go to farmer’s wife, Helen Cramer, who sent in the question.

The CURRENT MOVIE at the Bow Theater is “The Great Lover,” starring Jack Towns (as Clark Ga ble has retired) and directed by Norma Elaine Smith. THERE’S “Wilma’s Ready-to-Wear Shop” with salesgirls Mary Lou Meyer and Deloris Apple-garth, who sell the originals styled by Jeanne and Joanne McDuffee; these are gracefully modeled by Mona Fees and Diane Le La Cheur. The “CUSTER COUNTY CHIEF” is now edited by Jean Iburg, with associate editor, Billie Jones, Helen Lomax acts as journalist. LAURA MAE MURRY is writing a very interesting continued story. TOM HILL is known for his popular cartoon, “Eb and Sally.” IN ONE of the news items, written by Audrey McCaslin, we find that Gaylord Eberle and Bill Van Cleave as new ranch hands.
