And now we take you to Waupecong for the local news given by Ralph Ramsey Brinkley. Mr. Brinkley: A local housewife, the former Sharon Newman, has recently developed and put on the market a new line of hoola hoopsflop sided ones for odd balls and square ones for block heads. Business for these hoops is really rolling! For meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty, Bill Myers has recently received national recognition in the W.O.L.F. Association, better known as the Worshipers of Lovely Females, but true to form, he was late for his own recognition dinner. Norma Powell, through research of her family tree has iust discovered that she is a direct decendent of the famous Dick Powell family of Hollywood. She plans a trip to Hollywood in hopes of using his prestige to become a private secretary at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie productions studio. A prominent local accountant of our community, John Whitley, who recently invented a new style lawn mower, is now vacationing in sunny Hawaii. While there, he will test his new mower on the native grass. A flash from the West Coast: Beverly Stodgell, a well-known Hollywood dress designer, has iust been awarded an Oscar for the costume designing in the movie of the year, Business Prefers Women. Rhea Hoskins was voted best-supporting actress for her performance as, an efficient, female executive in the same movie. Miss Hoskins rose rapidly from the ranks of the amateur to stardom after her magnificent performances in The All-American Family and Father Was a House- wife. Dr. James Paschal and his nurse assistant, Miss Sondra Rickard, have recently discovered a sure cure for the common cod. Although the after-effect of the cure is an advanced case of pneumonia, the cold is completely gone. Janice Glassburn, well-known Indiana home econcmist, has iust established the National Associa- tion for Batchelor Girls of America. This association is dedicated to streamlining the household chores of one-room efficiency apartments in order that the occupant may do all housework in one- half hour daily while reading in bed. Secretary of the Gormet Division is none other than Janet Dear- dorff. Miss Deardorff's most famous culinary achievements are in the field of foreign cookery, including such delicacies as chocolate covered ants, french fried bumblebees, and rattlesnake steak. She claims the serving of these delicacies reduces the cost of party-giving for no one eats too heartily! Jay Agness, renowned scientist, has astounded the world by recently proving the Einstein The- ory to be false. Next week, Jay will pilot his own rocket to Mars. He claims and is attempting to prcve that the only men living on other planets are decendents of earth men who traveled there manylcenturies B.C. If Mr. Agness returns to earth with proof of this theory, he will surely be nominated for the new Nobel Pride for astronautical physics at the spring meeting of the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. Lois Myers, named Miss Rocket of I975, in recognition of her exploration of the moon, has volunteered and been accepted to accompany Mr. Agness to Mars. Upon her return, she has con- sented to write a book about her experiences entitled Was This Trip Really Necessary? The world-famous chemist, Kenneth Myers, is on the verge of making a magnificent discovery of an acid that will eat through anything and everything.

SYSTEM PRESENTS N WS DF THE D Y The great sculpturer, Sherman Chism, is now working on his masterpiece to compete for the Academy Art Award. Janet Sharp, leading model for Rosenthal's in New York City, has been eating for weeks in order to get in shape for this modeling iob. This is Ralph Brinkley at Waupecong now switching you to Melvin Huntley in Bennett. Take it away, Melvin. An-explorer was found nearly frozen to death today in Alaska. Authorities identified her as 37- year old Joyce Lamb. Although she had six cans of canned heat, Miss Lamb nearly froze to death from lack of a can opener. After many attempts to find a beverage that would not ferment, Phil Lewis has at last succeeded in making a drink that will make the old feel young and the young feel,younger. Lewis, owner of Bennett's local bottling company, received iust yesterday a patent from Washington for Lil' Abner's Famous Kickapoo Joy Juice. Showman Roger Glassburn, the owner of the internationally famous Glassburn Flea Circus, scratched himself to death. Friends report that he had been leading a dog's life. Larry Peters, former understudy to George Mikan, is currently starring with the House of David basketball team. After he ioined the team, he was not allowed to play any games until he had grown a three-inch beard. After three months' useless effort, Larry finally resorted to Dudley Gree- non's new product, Hairback. His major problem now is to keep the beard trimmed so that it does not obscure his sight on lump shots. Two local school teachers, Alice Lape and Carol Binkerd, took leave of absence today to pursue advanced study of nature by traveling. Being fresh-air enthusiasts, the ladies plan to travel by bicycle around the coastline of South America. Upon their arrival back in San Antonio, Texas, they will sell their bicycles and hike back to Bennett in time for the opening of school in September. Merle Birkey, a graduate of Purdue University, has iust received recognition for his recently de- veloped techniques in the field of animal biology. He has developed a strain of odorless skunks which will prove to be the most re-scent achievement to lovers of pet skunks. Rosalie Yoars, first woman to enter the 500-mile race at Indianapolis, has just set a new record. She completed the 500 miles in 35 minutes 33-2 seconds. She was driving the Green Dodge Special. And, now a news flash from Washington. lt has iust been announced that Renee Pond will fly tonight from LaGuardia Airport for immediate assignment as language interpreter to General Merrill Martin in NATO Headquarters, in Naples, Italy.
