One afternoon when business wasn't very good, I sat idly gazing into my crystal ball. There, right in front of me, I saw a TV set. Since I had nothing else to do, I reached out and turned Lt on. The program, nIt's Your L1fe,' had just begun, andl sat captivated while Marion Guiffre told about her nursing career at City Hospital. when the program was over, I was amazed Vos! 1 very muscular Cliff Harris advertise his book for he-men, 'How to Gain Weight and Muscles.' I relaxed while the New York Symphony Orchestra soothed my tired brain. Then, during Lntermisslon, the announcer interviewed an outstanding member of the trombone section, Dick Wiser. It was not long before I wasglad I had just had.mybra1n soothed, for on the 'Super Circus' program Caroline Nlemann made my heart comeup into my throat with her performance on the flying zrapeze. I made plans to spend.theeven1ng at the Arlington after ward Pulling and Dick Heller, ao-owners of the Hotel, showed pictures of the luxurious ballroom. On the next program, 'Agriculture 1nAmer1ca, the owner of the top dairy farm in the country was interviewed--Jim Statts, who owns a 500-acre estate outside Chenango Forks. I found myself ordering my Christmas Cards inthe middle of May after Russ Card told.ofthe expert craftsmanship that goes into his greeting and playing cards. Next I was personally conducted through a Detroit automobile plant by its president, Jim Lamb, on nlndustry on Parade.' Jim manufactures a new top-seller which he calls 'Lamb1es.n Edward R. Murrow's news program brought a number-ofinteresting personalitlesto the camera. Phe pres1dent's private secretary, Miss Emily Hatch, was interviewed first. The sclentum who ieveloped theoxygen bomb, E1nste1n's right-hand man, Sherman Francisco, couldn't be present but Mr. Murrow commended him highly. The British correspondent gave a report on Barbara Mitchell, vho recently gave a recital for Queen Elizabeth during her concert tour of Europe. She hopes to earn enough to study the piano in Parisfora while. The likely Republican candidate for the Pres1dency1n.l972, New York State Senator Edward Millham, then talked politics with Mr. Murrow. Dhen, on the lighter side of the news, he announced that Miss America of 1957 had just been selected: and he showed a picture of a most beautiful blonde, Miss Carolyn St. John. Last, but far from least, Lynn Fox told ofthe difficulties and ofthe humor of her Job asan United Nations Lnterpreter. The sponsor, a prominent New York City baker, Harold Baker, took me on a tour of mis kitchen-clean shop. He had had to take the movie after shop hours, for it is so crowded luring the day. 'Today's Fashions' brought celebrities from the fashion world before me. Barbara Elliott, designer of exclusive women's dresses, showed somecf her favorite models, while Bob Aten,wor1d- reknowned tailor, commented on them. Virginia Craver, fashion buyer for Saks Fifth Avenue, presented some of the loveliest of her store's stock, which she modeled personally. Mrs. Dale Smith, the former Carolyn Batey, was the guest star on'The Name's the Same.u She is currently appear1ngjas'Bel1ndaF 1n'Ramshakle Inn' onBroadway. I recognized Jackie Glltner, one of Jon Wh1tcomb's favorite models, in a portrait advertising nCremo Champoo' for beautiful hair. The winners ofhis talent show were hired by Arthur Godfrey to appear on his regular Wednuh day night show. 'The Three Missesu, Laura White, Virginia Eggleston, and Janie Andrews sang nwonderful Guy,' one of the first numbers they did together inschool. Virginia is the only one who is still a miss, however. Since it was family night on the program, Laura's husband Darwin Burnett and Jan1e's husband Bob Schmidt and their twins Mickey and Mike were on. Bob is now an Admiral in the U. S. Navy. The Sponsor had Don Soliwoda, the new catcher for the New York Yankees, tell why he smokes Chesterfields. Carol Clark recently took Ann's place and starred1n.WPr1vate Secretary.' My spine tingled as I watched nF1shnet,' the new mystery show starring and directed by Jack Sharak. Then Dick Greggory tried to get some prospective customers for Dr. wenchelhe1mer's Hair Grower. 'What's My L1ne?' took on new interest for me as the panel guessed that Don Rock was the world's most prominent architect who had just built the bridge across the Atlantic Ocean. They also guessed that Rod Heath was the New York Yankees' batboy. However, when it came to Wayne Starkweather's occupation, ltwas another story. Heflnally had totell them that he manufactures cigarette butts for bums. The New York State Telephone Company sponsored its most efficient 'hello g1r1,n Beverly Mollo, as she told me to please use my directory. Onthe Pabst Blue Ribbon wrestling show, Fran Taylor pinned 'Lovable Lucy' in record time. Then, I guess I'd had my TV set on too long for it sputtered and coughed a few times and went blank. Anyway it was time to put away my crystal ball for the day and go to bed. Madame For-tuna Tolde 21
