Would You Ever Have Guessed? Imagine yourself in downtown New York in the early 1960's. You walk into the beauty shop operated by Barbara Gair and Marjorie Eaton. Ruth Johnson is giving Betty Harman a manicure. Edna Schultz and Bob White are sitting under the hair drier.. The room is filled with the piano music of Joan Ballard, coming over a Sproul portable television set. The air is filled with the odor of a new hair oil developed in the Russell and Eddy Chemical Laboratories. lIncidentally,the odor is a stomach-turning com- bination of wintergreen and banana.J Suddenly the music stops and a voice breaks in saying, This is station OIC, owned and operated by Vin- cent Daily News. The time is now 7:30 p. m. Wilson Watch time. We now bring you the evenings newvs and sports fiashes with your commen- tator, Jack Anghel. He is brought to you through the courtesy of Lane, Shotliff, and Wetzel Hybrid Corn, and we do mean corn. FLASH-Vernon Holcomb and his Boone County henchmen who have been terrorizing the Middle West for the past eight years, were cap- tured early this afternoon by G-man Kenneth Lerch after a furious gun battle. Others captured were Alfred f Killer J2 Ward, Harlan f Hot Lead J Harnish, and Lloyd Daniels, alias Desperate Dan. Lerch received able assistance from Robert Morris, sheriH of Boone County. The gang first became notorious when they murdered the Misses Bernice Bradt and Lois Tigwell who were en route to the latter's wedding. FLASH-Marvin Barnes and Harold Shelton clash tonight in the finals of the Midwest Table Tennis Championship. In a preliminary Donald Lang and Clifford Hauge will entertain the crowd with their comic interpretation of the game. In the other highlight of the sports world, Janette Grifiis and Bethene Zahm lead their respective teams into the finals of the Women's Natic nal Basketball Championshipf FLASH-Bob Bennett, Western star of MGM eloped last night with Arbelle Dixon, glamorous New York model. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Glenn Q. Carriker. Edward Bratt, of the MGM cen- sor staff was best man. It was Mr. Bennett's fourth marriage. His for- mer wives were Dolores Devine, Irene Rooth, and Mertiebelle Reimer. . . . . . .The program over, we wander out into the street again. Walk- ing down the sidewalk We see Jean Peterson. Jewell Reimer and Pearl Stevens going into the Dion-Conlev Dress Shoppe. Suddenly above the noise of the street we hear the excited cry, Red-hot peanuts for sale- Red-hot peanuts for sale . .Sure enough, it is our friend of high school days, Marvin Barnes.
