GETTING AROUND Continued from page 5
A Bethesda, Maryland, correspondent informs us that a seven-year-old of his acquaintance was asked to illustrate the song, "America The Beautiful," part of which goes, if you'll recall, "For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plain." Well, the teacher recognized everything - the flag, the map, the purple mountains, and even the youngster's interpretation of "from sea to shining sea." The only puzzle in the entire series was a picture of an airplane covered with red and yellow balls. "Why," explained the artist, "that's the fruited plane." • • • A group of Locust Valley, New York, citizens love the theatre but found travel, dinner, and ticket expenses coming high. They solved their problem by forming a group and hiring a bus. Dinner is served to the group in Long Island, and then the chartered bus, equipped with a well-stocked bar and bartender, gets them to Manhattan just at curtain time. • • • Mr. Erle J. Grant, of Doraville, Georgia, wants the world to know that it still costs him twenty-five cents to get a first-class haircut. His barber has not changed prices in forty years, business is very good, and need we add that he's one of the most popular people in that part of the country? • • • Our Hamden, Connecticut, correspondent swears that the following is a true story: It seems that a few days after a rising young executive got a promotion and a larger office, a maintenance man came by with a pair of shears and cut away a neat 12-inch border of carpeting from all four sides of the room. On his way out he explained to his astounded on-looker, "Company Orders. Only vice-presidents and better get wall-to-wall carpeting." • • • Almost 12,000 babies have been photographed, within minutes of birth, through the Torrance, California, Memorial Hospital's Identi-Foto program. As soon as the new-born infant is dressed and put into its bassinet, the nurse wheels it under a special camera and takes its first picture. The baby's parents can then, if they choose, buy one or more pictures as mementos of the blessed event. The project was started in 1954 by the Women's Auxiliary and has since then enabled the ladies to donate about $8,000 worth of special equipment to the hospital's maternity wing. • • • Along with machines and gadgets that do everything these days but take your vacation for you, add a salt shaker you don't have to shake - the invention of one Matthew Zoil, of Brockton, Massachusetts. You just press a button, and air pressure does the rest. • • • What have you heard that's new, unusual, or funny? We pay $10 for each item we accept.
