...Invertebrates, joins him, once took an under water cinema of him at work (see cut). There was no special realism about the Olsen submarinescapes last week to indicate they were actually done under water. Coral Outpost was a pastel blue-green, showed a film of sunlight filtering down to brownish mushroom coral, three pink, blue and yellow Yellow-Tail fish.

Ready on the first tee of the Westward Ho! course at starting time was another U. S. celebrity even more famed & popular than Golfer Jones. A brownish, stocky little man, he attracted an unprecedented swarm of autograph hunters. A dozen ladies were so anxious to have their children see him play that they pushed perambulators after him over five miles of gently undulating Devonshire. British golf critics agreed that his swing was good and his manners, though...
