 ‘P'Kxfc ecy LYNWOOD BARRINGER is leading a pink pig bv a ribbon. Roars and cheers come up as Candido Tellez does his act. He has his head in the lion’s mouth. Also Beth Barlow is found here. Her act consists of hanging from the trapeze bv her heels and later doing cartwheels on a running horse. The All American Football Game is played while he is there. Among the players are 300 pound Paul Francom and 98 pound Terrv Tipton. Paul hands the ball to Terry and then passes “him” over the goal post. After all this excite- ment he is a bit tired so he goes back to the hotel and lies down to read the paper. On the front page he sees the pictures of the famous employee of a company. Jesus Renteria has the job of testing the 3000 matresses that are turned out even- day. This is the hardest work [esus has ever done. From St. Louis, Elwood takes a taxi back to his mansion along the Gila River. He arrives just in time for the great Greenlee County Fair. Now it lasts a week because that is how long it takes to see everything. As he goes through, he notices that most of the ribbons have gone to Ronald and Donald Wilson who are doing very well on their twin farms. In the poultry building, chicken raiser Dan Ells- worth has taken most of the prizes. When he goes to the horse races, he sees a bright shirt ’way out in front that turns out to be Bud Cox, who rides nothing but the best horses and always wins. Now that Elwood has achieved his ambition, he settles down to enjoy the peaceful side of life.

JESUS TERRY MACK JEWEL Sponsored by SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. Safford, Arizona PAUL THE YEAR IS 1975, and we find that Elwood O’Dell has married a wealthy widow and is achieving his life’s only ambition: to travel the United States in a taxi cab. On his way he stops at MGM studios in Hollywood, California, where two of his former classmates, Wanda Baber and Larry Rapier, have leading roles in Death Among the Zombies.” The writer of the movie is Nancy Nelson who is dictating to her secretary, Joyce Hamilton. Elwood remarks to Nancy that her old friend Peggy Sanders is slaving away on her husband’s profitable farm. As he travels along the desert to Las Vegas, he sees a lone prospector who claims his name is Frank Hicks. As he enter Las Vegas, he points out a sign in glittering neon that tells of a floor show with Jewel Waters doing a dance on a dice table. At Las egas he takes a plane to Chicago. Nearing the city he sees a’mushroomed cloud coming from a building and later finds Lester Waters holding half a test tube. Later in his hotel suite he turns on the radio only to hear Kent Romney singing Doggie in the Window.” In turning on the radio he wrenched his finger and on a friends advice goes to a famous French doctor who turns out to be his old classmate Mack Clark. Dr. Mack puts -a cast on his finger and charges fifty dollars. As he goes back to his hotel room, he hears a big fight but further investi- gation finds only Donna Allred and Floyd Merrell arguing about which car is better. Ford or Chevrolet. Continuing his trip, he goes through St. Louis, but before leaving, he de- cides to go to the famous Barnum and Bailey circus as he has heard of several famous acts done by some of his class mates.
