She is so alert that she once interviewed a criminal while he was committing the crime. ROGER THOMAS was a slow moving chap. He is a plumber's assistant-the one who goes back for the monkey wrench and can't find it. He, with his wife, VESTA PEABODY, live on a farm in Cranberry Lake. LINDA SMITH owns an exclusive beauty shop. People- men as well as women- will enter her shop looking like 60 and emerge looking like 16. Linda is a famous face lifter and she is a living example of her work. ROBERT DORAN is a famous inventor who has invented over a 1000 labor saving devices. One of his inventions is Boomerang collar buttons-guaranteed to return to the hand that lost them. MERLIN FOLEY, once a basketball player for the Syra- cuse Nats, is now a real estate agent.

Some of her songs are: There's a Ga-Ga Gal in Guate- mala and 1 Hear You Knocking But I Can't Find the Key. WENDALL LASHUA is the owner of the Eat and Run Restaurant. He is also an undertaker and both businesses are doing well. HAROLD BOYD is America's champion pole sitter, mara- thon dancer and pretzel eater. Harold is also the world's undisputed channel swimmer. He once swam back and forth until his manager remembered to come and fish him out.
