KATHRYN ASHLAND is in the motel busi- ness. It seems the business has changed cr little though because now the motel is rented only to young, handsome, eligible bachelors.

HANSEN, the present world light-heavyweight boxing champion, has successfully defended his title for the 16th consecutive time. IOAN KLEIN finally caught Delbert and they are happily married.
