Jerry Martin and family are leaving this weekend for three weeks' vacation.
Their trip will include a visit to Hemisfair in San Antonio, the Grand
Canyon, and then across the border to Mexico to see a bull fight .
Frank Maruca has developed another interest. This time it's flying gasoline
powered model airplanes in our backyard - that is, when his son lets him
have it to play with.
Our "Concentration" game starts on KeeNeR this week-end and it should have
our listeners glued to their transistors. Prizes will again be money.

Barbara Collins is laughing on the outside but crying on the inside since
last Friday. Uncle Sam sent his 'greetings' to her husband.
Wanda Jarvis expects to be in the hospital for about a week. If you get a
minute, you might like to send her a card. It's Room 235A _ Garden City
Hospital.
Two of our DJs, Ed Busch and Dan Henderson, participated in a frisbee
tournament last Wednesday in competition with some of Mayor Cavanagh's
staff. This is part of the summer downtown entertainment open to the public.
(In case you don't know what a frisbee is, it looks like a flying saucer).
