On the

By BILL PH E L PS
W e’ve been saving up q u ite a
few things to say in this colum n,
but every tim e we sit down a t th e
ty p ew rite r we forget w h at they
were. You probably w o u ld n ’t have
liked them , anyw ay.
One thing w e've been m ean in g
to do was a little polite boasting.
You rem em ber Ed M cC lain’s Ads
for his Model H ouse o p en in g ? 12Oo
people signed the guest book for
th at opening, besides th e ones
w ho couldn’t w rite. And Ed
sw ears he did n ’t tell a soul ex ­
cept through th e P ilot ads.
As fa r as th a t goes, we a lre a d y
knew how m any people read this
paper. We m anaged, w ith a little
cooperation from th e T h e a te r

Ocean D rive-In’s Ad . . . got th e
program a week too early. W e
heard about it. too . . . from a
large n um ber of people w ho had
driven 20 miles to see th e w rong
show.
Anyhow, we th in k a su rp rise is
nice once in aw hile. T h a t’s why
we did it . . .it says here.
