...doll on his knee. Television's top ventriloquist, Winchell is beginning his sixth TV season by filling his half-hour show (Sun. 7 p.m. E.S.T., NBC) to the brim with Paul Winchell, master of ceremonies, man of many voices, dramatic actor, singer, dancer and soap salesman (Cheer and Camay). By such breathless activity, Winchell, a muscular, 29-year-old New Yorker, hopes to escape an occupational hazard of ventriloquism: becoming incidental to his "doll" in the public mind...
...inflection of the TV salesman. His interest is professional and his appraisal is that of a connoisseur. For when he is not listening to commercials, Dick Stark is delivering them. He sells Chesterfield cigarettes on TV's Perry Como Show and Gangbusters, Amm-i-dent toothpaste on Danger, Camay soap on radio's Pepper Young's Family. "Television has been good to me," says Stark mellowly. "It's given me something I never had in 18 years of radio: fan clubs. I have one in Chicago, one in New Jersey, one on Long Island...
...Crossmyloof rink at Glasgow last week, none of the five Scottish teams scored such a shutout, but they did manage to whip the Americans in the first test match, 109-54. In the second match, the U.S. did better, only lost 94-83. The Scotsmen played a camay, conservative game, in sharp contrast to the generally slam-bang U.S. style.

...omnipresent advertising is the smooth promotional touch of Neil McElroy, who moved into the president's chair only 19 months ago, when Richard Deupree became board chairman. Just out of Harvard in 1925, McElroy started at the bottom in P. & G.'s advertising department, plugged Camay toilet soap door-to-door, later directed ad campaigns for such products as Dreft, Drene, and Duz, which he made bestsellers. As president, he still likes the person-to-person approach, will talk soap to his wife's bridge party guests, or to anybody he meets at any time to learn...
...difficult reading Blue prints in the dark, Vag discovered. But Pigs is Pigs, and the mingled odours of Camay, Camels and Camphorice quickly brought him closer to reality. (Why is it that Charley dislikes little babies, he thought, as he turned the page.) Casey is understandable, but this. Yes, Dan, I know Saltonstall won, but who ever heard of Tom Eliot? Yes, Gene. Benny Goodman did play at Carnegie Hall, but we can't have a campaign for Frankie Newton. Vag skipped a few pages, then pulled up short. Poor Joe, his knuckles raw, was still trying to break...
