4 yWO MEDrOBP (OHEOON) .... AROUND y VIRGINIA UnlM4 Pratt Hollywood, June 26 U.R) Television scooped the world last week with Its lirst real live murder. It also was its last. The cus tomers yelled louder than the victim did. The corpse in the villain ous deed was a f 1 v pound New England lobster. But his sudden demise in front of ev erybody could Virginia. (UcPhenoa not have raised more hullaballoo if he'd been human. Up to now TV has survived low-cut necklines, horror dramas and Milton Bcrle with out official censorship. The lob ster may bring It on. And the embarrassed gentle men behind it all are two young producers, Budd Crossman and Arnold Mills. They learned tele vision out of a book they bought for $1.25, they said, and there wasn't anything in there warn ing 'em about things like this. "It started out so innocently," Grossman sighed. "We have this show, 'Helpfully Yours,' and every week we cook up a recipe In front of the camera. "On the fateful day the dish happened to be lobster thcrmi dor." Shows Everything The man in charge of the pots and pans is Chef Adolph Gasser, and he is a gent who shows the lady lookers everything he does In whipping up his specialties. And that means everything! "So he plops this lobster in front of the camera," Mills said, "and the little thing looked so cute with its blinking out at the audience the cameraman moved In for a closeup. "We saw it all coming but It happened so fast we couldn't atop it. Chef Adolph gets this long knife and stabs the poor lobster right in the back. i m h i ii ANOTHER PAR STORE SPECIAL FIRESTONE THEY IAST NWS PICNIC BASKETS, service for 4 $7.45 service for 6 .. $11.50 4 PLASTIC PLATES, with cups or mugs $2.39 6-Pc.

Cameraman Got Sick "The comeraman got sick. Our engineer turned white and dash ed out of the control booth. And the audience got kind of green."1 That was only the beginning. The minute the show was over the telephone calls began. Next day the outraged letters poured in. Studio bosses held a meeting. Sponsors screamed. "It was just one of those things," Grossman says limply. "We couldn't 'help it. But now everybody's all hepped up about getting censors. "Funny thing, we've had girls up here in the briefest of bath ing suits and the tightest of sweaters. And nobody even let out a peep." . Anyhow, the boys are playing it safe. Custard is their favorite recipe from here on in. Nobody's objected, so far, to Chef Adolph breaking an egg or two. Sentence Suspended For Pistol Pointing George I. Maxwell, Wagner Creek, pleaded guilty in justice court Saturday to a charge of pointing a pistol at another, and Judge W. P. Tucker gave him a 60-day suspended jail sentence on condition that the 89-year-old miner refrain from further violations of the law. District Attorney George Neil son said Maxwell has been or dered off the Wagner Creek mining claim that was the cause of his altercation with H. C. High, Medford. Sheriff's offi cers said High was attempting to reach the claim to do hia as sessment work when Maxwell pointed a Lugcr pistol at him and fired it into a small stream directly in front of High and his party. Judge Tucker is hold ing the pistol. Deail llnr nn Clnmlllnil Adi: 5 30 p m. for following day; in ft nv Mon day, noon Saturday for Sunday a.m. PHONE 2-5550 Monday, June 28, 1950 A Picnic to Sew!

THEY LIKE THE ECONOMY ll" OF OWNING TWO FORDS Z T li f a P y Over 250,000 families (with the number grow, ing every day) have discovered the convenience and independence of 2-Ford living. Dad can golf while Mom shops. No need to sit borne while Junior's at the prom. Good-bye bases. Good-bye trolleys. They've found, too, that Fords are a sound investment low in first cost, low in maintenance and high in resale value. They like the economy of owning two Fords. We say "fine car" for very good reasons . . . reasons like Ford's amazingly quiet V-8 and "Six" engines ... the smooth "Mid Ship" Ride in a body of "Lifeguard" steel ... the H easier acting King-Sire Brakes ... the roomy Sofa-Wide seats . . . plus the dozens of other features which won thousands more friends for Ford last year.
