Owen is best known for his “Gordon Owen TV Scrapbook,” an hour-long TV program which ran a full year. In this program he had a live studio audience. Before returning to Salt Lake City where he was born, Owen worked in radio and TV in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Hollywood. He has on occasions been an actor, sports announcer, news commentator, “living-room philosopher,” comedian and in terpreter. It is as a philosopher and psychologist that he will ap pear at the Tuesday meeting. While Owen is making radio and TV appearances h i s life’s work, he actually had no inten tion of getting into this media so thoroughly. He studied to be an English teacher and public speak er. From this endeavor he switch ed to selling and, as he puts it, “I have sold everything from electric refrigerators to sleep teaching sets.” Humorously he adds, “I don’t use any of this latter technique in my speeches. My idea is to keep my audiences awake, think ing and laughing.” According to Mrs. N. O. Rich ards, publicity chairman for the local group, the Tuesday meeting will be guest night and each mem ber may take two guests.
