Next to this gigantic building is the entrance to the underground parking lot designed and constructed by BOB FOSS. Above the entrance is the sign, 'Bob's Nighttime Park- ing Lot.’ Selling refreshments for Bob's Parking Lot is. of all people DIANNE TAYLOR! She gets them from MARILYN HOWE'S new drug store across the street. We can over- hear Dianne telling one of the customers that BARB GIFFORD will be along in the morning to clean up Bob's lot after the midnight rush. At Lake Florence Park we see attendants CHARLOTTE BETCHER and HARRIS NELSON building more benches. We focus our attention next on a wrestling bout. JANICE ANDERSON in the star at- traction. I've heard lately that another famous wrestler. IKE AMOS, wrestled Khrush- chev of the U.S.S.R. to show who's boss, naturally, Ike won! If it hadn't been for LUCY McCLELLAN, the John Foster Dulles of the wrestling world, Ike's manager. Ike never would have succeeded. We also see AUDREY KING back with the S.H.S. band. On December 31, 1969, at 11 A.M. she was thrown out of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for breaking too many reeds and never being in place when Mozart was ready to start. With the good old Stewie band, she now plays to her hearts content. Now let's move to one of our neighboring towns. In Grand Meadow we see a mortuary. The sign in the window says: Either up real high, or down real low, you'll need my services before you go. PATRICIA CRANE, your solemn undertaker. Moving to the Hollywood scene we find that CARLA SCHROEDER and CAROL ZIMPRICH have just signed a contract with MGM to scratch the ears of Leo, the roaring MGM lion. I hear he has the most itchy ears in town. You Don't have to be Big to be Famous is the name of the book that made CLAYTON KIRKLAND famous. His next book is going to be Who Needs Muscle Men? On the national scene we see the brave RONALD BOONE take off with the Army's new Jet Propelled Boonesnik to see that President Eisenhower gets his homemade meals at his Gettysburg Farm. Whizzing past Ronnie are LOTTIE and LORETTA LECY. the first women to reach the moon and come back alive. EUGENE MULLENBACH has just broken the sound barrier with his supersonic '51 Hudson. We always knew it would happen SOME day. On leaving the U.S. our first stop is in Alaska, where we see that the latest uranium find has been made by the great geologist DOROTHY ALCOTT. There is a jet pro- pelled railroad, invented and run by BOB BEACH that takes the ore down to the refinery, run by another expert and mathematical wizzard, DELORES EVENSON, who does her math in shorthand. Let's go to Hawaii now. Why, there's a barber shop in Honolulu owned and operated by our old classmate, DAVE NELSON. He specializes in Blonds, Brunettes and Red- heads, and in his leisure time trims Hula-Hula skirts Oh my, I can see Russia now ... I must admit I'm a little scared, for I've heard--as everyone else has, about the new bomb that the two physics experts, JOYCE GATHJE and SHEILA KNAPP, have invented for Russian use. Coming back over China, 1 can see the farm experts, DALE GREENE and RAY EVANS, trying to teach the Chinese how to grow rice. They are field hands on Old Mac- Donald's Farm, owned and operated by CURT SACKETT. I was brought here through the courtesy of Warners Brother's Studio and 1 hope you will see me at your local theater in my new picture, which is Dahling. This is CAROL NICHOLS saying bye now, all you DAHLINGS. 19
