J unior JJrop iecij While on a business trip to New York for my company, I bought a copy of the New York Times. I thougiit I recognized the newsboy, and further inquiry led to Denny Stevens. He said he was going to take over, a little at a time, so nobody would notice. On the front page I was surprised to see a picture of a former schoolmate. Rick Allen, B. A., B.S., M.A., M.S., Ph.D., M.D., L.L.D. He has invented a new type of atom smasher called a Simeatron, and discovered ten more new elements. His first attempt faileo, however, because his assistant, Dave Jones, forgot to plug it in. Also on this page were articles about the following: Senator of Illinois, Gene Robinson, is trying to pass a bill that will outlaw women from all public offices. Senator of Indiana, Joan Stinson, commented: He's got a point there, but if he keeps his hat on no one will notice. Two new astronauts were sent up for the Gemini flight. I was surprised to see that they were Harold White and Charlie Dick. Charlie’s comment was: I think I'll make it. I’ve hit everything else. I think they will, especially with the new rocket fuel developed by that great chemist Gary Hale and his assistant Carolyn Bolsen. On the next page I saw a column called Suzy Says, written by that well known columnist and free- lanced writer Suzan McGuire. She gave very good information, particularly to one girl named Rebecca Stephenson. She asked what she should do about a boy named George. Suzy said, Marry him, any boy is hard to find nowadays. Next I saw a full page advertisement about the ballet. Swan Lake. It was to be performed by Kent Hoffman and Shirley Creviston, and conducted by Richard Broutin who will also play a solo on the violin. On the sports page there were several articles. Some of them were: Roy Bird, the President's council on youth fitness, gave a demonstration of the push-up for the com- mittee. Due to a back injury he will not be able to perform his duties for a while. Roger Long is the last official holdout for the Chicago Cubs. At his last press conference be blamed his 20 game losing season on his outfield. Kenny Wilhelm drove a car in the Daytona 500 for Wilhelm Motors. Unfortunately, he didn't finish. He later commented: I wasn't worried when I threw a rod and the crankshaft fell out, and I wasn't too discouraged when an old man came out with a wheelbarrow and started picking up the pieces, but when he lappea me I figured it was time to quit. Emerson Miller and Peggy Barr are doing well in the Olympics this year. Peggy won the high jump and the 440 yard dash, and Emerson received a gold medal at the deck tennis singles. I also saw that there will be a challenge fight at Madison Square Gardens. Sarah Minor, better known as Savage Sadie, has agreed to challenge anyone. It seems that after graduation she began to grow-out- and now is a lady wrestler. In the section of marriage announcements, I was very surprised. It seems that Rick Davis didn t die as was foretold. Louise Woolridge married him. Also taking the marriage vows was Luellan Bolsen Jones Smith Adcock Cooper Clark Swartz. Her latest husband has persuaded her to leave her acting career and settle down to counting alimony pay- ments . In the human interest section, I saw that Jerry Ensign is now a millionaire. He started a few years ago as a cigar store Indian, and now owns his own cigar corporation. Also in this section was a very peculiar accident. Clarajane Johnson fell from the 80th floor of a building and lived to tell about it. She told the people on the 80th floor, the people on the 79th floor, the people on the 78th floor, . . . In the book review section I saw that Marjorie Trummel has written a book called 101 Ways to Re- pair Holes in Carpet. It contains repairs for many unusual cases including holes made by hot irons. I read an article in the movie and T.V. section about Kirby Fleming. After he was commended for having the prettiest looking hair at his high school, he went to Hollywood and became Yul Brynner s understuay. However, he was slightly disheartened when he had to shave his head. There are to be two new T.V. shows on this year. One called Dr. Dupe is about a neurosurgeon. In the first show Dr. Dupe, played by Oliver Dyer, makes a slip and changes a patient's personality. The patient, played by Sandy Carter, changes from a shy, timid girl to an elephant herder. Finding that he can't change her back, Dr. Dupe does the next best thing. He buys her a ticket to Africa. The other show is called The Nursed. It stars Pat Sutton, Karen Montgomery, Mary Beth Smith, Sondra Van Dever, and Jane Randolph. It is about five old ladies in a nursing home In the first show, they fall in love with their doctor and take poison so he will come back to them. In the advertising section there were many interesting ads. One was about a model agency called Bob’s Babes, and was owned by Bob Phelps. It featured Bubbles. Bonnie Hamilton, who nas worked for the top fashion designers. Another was about a judo school owned and operated by Donna Preston. She now holds the black belt and always follows the motto, If you can't join 'em. lick 'em. Also listed was Honest Scotty Booker's Custom Cars and the slogan Look for the Plaid Plymouth. On the last page, two articles caught my eye. The first said that there are now more quintuplets. Mrs Karen Kerans White has given birth to five bouncing baby boys. The last was about the Peace Corps. It seems that one John Zancha left the teaching profession to join up and was stationed in Russia. He was doing very fine until the last election, when he was suspected of voting the wrong way and then suddenly took up coal mining in the Cool Country I had to leave for work then and couldn't read further. Did you know you could get so much out of a newspaper? ■ 29
