N BC MAY HAVE to find some-.
one to pinchhit for Eddie Can
tor for a while . . . It’s doubtful
that Eddie can do his next few TV
stints, even though ,his heart at
tack after the last one was termed
a “mild one” . . . Television is
rigorous for the healthiest, young
est person and it is undoubtedly
just short of suicide for a man in
his sixties, even though he has
done the same work all his life . •
Here’s a switch: A movie company
is combining several of the “Wild
Bill Hickok” video films into fea
ture-length movies to be shown in
theatres where the folks .don’t pet
have television.
Mitzi Green is slated to become
the new “Baby Snooks,” once the
former Fanny Brice vehicle hits
the airwaves . . . This is an un
enviable job as Miss Brice was so
much “Baby Snooks” that it will
be * difficult for anyone to fill in.
much less some’ one so unlikely as
young, bouncey Mitzi . Radio
reminds one of Mark Twain’s quip
that “reports of my death have
been greatly exaggerated.”
PLATTER CHATTER
COLUMBIA:—An excellent long-
playing album featuring the songs
from “Brigadoon,” featured in “Ice
Capades of 1953,” has been released
by this company and it’s well
worth investigating ... It was re
corded by the !ce Capades orches
tra and choir under the musical
direction of Jeri MayhaU and fea
turing soloists Lee Sullivan and
Sally SweeUand . . . Songs include,
“I’ll Go Home with Bonnie Jean,”
“The Heather on the HiU,” “From
This Day On,” “Brigadoon,” “Al
most Like Being in Love” >and
“Come to Me, Bend to Me.”
In singles, don’t miss Sinatra’s
recording of ’Birth of the Blues.”

IT WAS A THRILL to be racing
* along the desert highway in this
sleek yellow convertible, but a
sense of guilt kept Emily from en
joying it as much as she wanted to.
Jim had had a right to be sur
prised When she told him she was
going to the New Year’s Eve
square dance with Dick.
“But you hadn’t asked me to
go with you, Jim,” she had said de
fensively.
“I just took it for granted, and
thought you did too, Emily,” he
said slowiy. “You know we’ve been
partying together all this year un
til this dude came,out for his win
ter vacation.”
“Happy, baby?” Dick brought
her back to the present as he
patted her knee. /
Emily edged away a little, and
admitted, “This is fun.”
“So much fun,” Dick agreed,
“that it’s going to be over too soon.
And I don’t think this kind of a
New Year’s party will be too ex
citing anyway. Let’s do a little
stalling somewhere.”
“There’s no place to stall along
here,” Emily laughed. “There
isn’t a decent side road in twenty
miles.”
“How about these wheel tracks
I see trailing off into the sand
once in a while?” Dick asked.
“Oh, they lead to mines over in
the canyons, or homesteads back in
the foothills. But they’re not meant
for low-slung cars like this.”
“Here’s one that’s more distinct
than the others,” Dick said, slow
ing down.
“It goes about four miles over to
a dry lake bed,” Emily said,
“where some of the fellows race
their cars on week-ends.” .
“Say, let’s try it,” Dick said.
“This bus is no hot-rod, but it can
really roll just the same when you
let it all out.”
“I guess we will make it,” Emily
said a few minutes later, as they
rounded a little curve. “As long as
you keep moving fast in these ruts
you’re fairly safe. It’s only when
you stop—”
T HE CAR SLOWED almost to a
stop, and they could feel the
wheels beginning to spin in the soft
“Now you’ve really done IC
Emily groaned.
“Don’t you worry, little girl,'
rr~
Dick said smoothly.
He pressed his foot down on the
accelerator; the motor roared mag
nificently, the wheels spun around
gloriously, but the car didn’t move
forward an inch. s
‘We’re only sinking in deeper,”
Emily warned. “You’d better just
quit and get out the shovel.”
“What shovel?’ Dick snapped.
Emily, staring at him, suddenly
realized just how much of a dude
he was. “There’s nothing to do but
relax and wait ’til somebody sees
our headlights, and comes to
freedom to live and worship
according to our own individual beliefs. -
There are many other blessings for which to be thankful.
Just look around. These blessings make Christmas a more happy one.
Cares are forgotten as we reverently pause to acknowledge the
manifold blessings that are ours to enjoy. Let us be grateful.

help,” she said coldly, moving
over as far toward her edge of the
seat as she could.
A frigid hour, later they saw,
across the desert flats, the lights
of a car turn off the highway and
start towards them. Emily had a
shivery feeling as to whom it might
be, and sure enough, it was Jim,
whizzing up in the old jeep, a
frown on his usually happy-go-
lucky face.
“Everybody’s missed you,” he
growled. “I just wondered if some
thing like this hadn’t happened.”
‘Oh, Jim, am I glad to see you!”
Emily exclaimed, relief overcom
ing her embarrassment. And then
she couldn’t resist asking sweetly
a§ she glared at Dick, “Do ybu have
a shovel with you? Dick didn’t hap
pen to bring his tonight.”
Jim looked at her quickly, and
his face relaxed into a big grin.
“At your service. Ma’am,” he
laughed and swept off his ten gal
lon hat.
Emily hopped out of the con
vertible and into the jeep. “When
you’re ready with the rope. I’ll
give this baby the gun,” she said
as she patted the old steering
wheel lovingly. “We’ve got to get
him out of here before we go back
te the party.”
