moment sh sounds- as gutteralas a bullfrog and the next- high in the strata- sphere with tone clear and pure as a birds her voice and the songs she sings make chills runs up and down your spine she is being heard oftener and oflerier bnlhe radio these days so yoji might find it interesting to learn from mr lees editorial that high in the andes she assumed an almost deified position as the bird who became a woman and when the peruvians heard of this marvel- kus being and- brought her out to civilization it is said it almost caused rioting among the 30000 indians who called her chosen maiden and worshipped her as she sang at their annual festivals to the sun ending his editorial mr lee remarks that she is indeed rare and wonderful and he hopes she stays that way we hope so too and imagine that it might be a little hard to retain that wild primitive atmosphere she imparts to her songs in radio studios surrounded by pub licity promoters over the christ mas holidays we were in a home here where they had an album of yma sumacs recordings what in terested us was the- picture of the south american singer on the cover of the album she is an exceeding ly beautiful young woman and its hard to believe that such a glamor ous maiden could sing in such a powerfully primitive fashion during the christmas hol idays joan main called at the herald office jonn is a grad uate nurse in the

a subscriber were making a start at any rate the first week in dec ember mr and mrs dave saxe and mr and mrs wilf ford holidayed in new york city while there mrs saxe jotted down people besides the actual cast of the show it takes to run it three men alone run one huge camera with a man sitting on the top to operate it besides five or six men operat ing other cameras to say nothing of the radio end of it and the men at different controls one other added feature i thought wasja tvset right there so you could 4ee what was actually being televised v toesrav morning we bad tickets fpr the arthur godr fry radio show as we en tered the studio we were all given- a tinofhiv concentrated grape fruit juice and aninsujated bag to keep it in if theyre good enough to give it to us ill be good enough to plug it- for them as we sat down paper cups of colfjge were handed around whil toriy marvin the announcer welcomed everyone then arthur buythembythe car ton godfrey came on and the show started during the nabisco part of the program a package of crackers was handed to everyone along with some rolled slices of delicious ham and a paper carton oi milk the mariners were on the show as well as jeanette davis i think and then bill laurence sang from col umbus ohio during the ches- terfield part of the program a package of cigarets chesterfields naturally was given to all the show was very good and its nice to see in person what you hear on the radio butthe biggest kick i got was the grin on dick licatas face all through ihe broadcast we decided wed have dinner ir the dining room of the hotel that night and who should come in for dinner and sit at the table next to us but mrs roosevelt with i imagine her secretary she looked exactly like her pictures but maybe taller she was completely relaxed and the stares of the other guests didnt seem to bother her at all she stays here at the park sheraton when in new york on the way out to the theatre i saw a man 1 was sure i knew as youd know someone youd set- on a georgetown street and being a gal from the country i asked the doorman if it was jimmy dunn he said it was and that he lived here and that he was a real swell guy and regular fellow and was very well liked by all he also had a beau tiful blond in a red coat hanging on one arm v then we went to the maj estic theatre to see the pop ular play south pacific mary martin is terrific as well as the whole cast arid when she sings im gonna wash that man right out of my hair you can hardly refrain from getting up to sing it with her the jjay is as as good if not better as everyone says but of course so many millions couldnt be wrong its been playing since april 1949 and the tickets are still as scarce as they can be a little influence is the only way to get them other than the black market enough to find a good doorman and he literally shoved as into ft taxi that already had a passenger the driver was quite upset- and said he didnt approve of such goingson but as we were- in the cab ha couldnt do much but take us back to the hotel we were runnjns out of time so had dinner here at the hotel and mis roosevelt again joined us she seemed very much at home and just sat and read a newspaper and paid no attention to anyone we then went to see gentleman prefer blondes starring cardie ii lz la guardia sifter havfnf sj look around the abpart to much larger than lfiuton the trip home was ttne dinner was served on the plantiu- and the first thing we knew could see the lights of toronto again thru the customs and the team is there the referees are

at georgetown- ubsa1s ight and in what seemed like sec mjiiiu uf lin things they saw and did we read the memo the other day and found it so interesting we thought youd enjoy reading it too youll notice in one place she re fers to dick and tina meaning of course mr and mrs dick licata who also spent a few days in new york at the same time they made the trip by air both ways and as it was a first plane trip for ellen she starts by describ ing her reactions to it the ljfting of the plane jem like an elevator the only the only difference being you could hear very ifltle the first few minutes the ride felt much like a bus ride but then it smoothed out considerably and at times you couldnt feel motion at all and srnce we were in the part of the sjty that was between earth and clouds it was like being in a fog by this time the attractive stewardess haa checked coats and handed out mag azines to those who cared for them later she brought coffee and bis cuits and of course by riow clgaret smoking was allowed perhaps an hour went by and we were atop the clouds it was an as tonishing sight the sun was try ing to shine and succeeded at times the clouds from above appeared to be huge mounds of white spun sugar like you see at the firs they loo ked so soft and comfortable you could just feel the beauty of- them after what seemed a very short trip the plane came out of the clouds and manhattan came into vj it i loo hi a map from after an afternoon of shopping we left the store at a busy time and to get a taxi is quite impossible we were lucky qriumimg jtfic sing

first exper ience with them but i cant say i enjoyed it too much they go too fast most of the people travel that way because its the cheapest fast est and most direct means it only cost 10c for an hours drive when wecame out of the subway it was quite windy but we had no idea it was the ixginsing of a hurricane during ln night the wind roared around the hotel and sounded like an ex press train several crashes of glass turned but to be windows blown out on saturday it contin ued and at nearly every corner the windows u ere i out we passed several streets that hadvatcr up to tihe hub raps of cars other than windows breaking anil debris fall ing from tpofslhere seemed to be little damage done although a taxi driver told us i cab had blown over near central park i didn t see it and he didnt say where he had seen it it may be just a story saturday night we went 11 to see the happy time and the storm had kept several members of the east away but the ptay went on and was vety good this play
