...help of Japanese-born Artist Chuzo Tamotzu, she was holding two art exhibits 6,000 miles apart. For Santa Fe, the show was an eye-opener. The U.S. kids had sent Hiroshima 125 youthfully American scenes: pictures of horses, cowboys, mesas, adobe huts decorated with strings of red chili peppers. The 125 pictures they got in return were startling, not because they were different, but because they were remarkably similar in style. They were amazingly modern and well done, showed only the faintest trace of traditional Oriental art. Instead of stylized cherry trees and dainty bridges, Hiroshima's kids...
Seven Lonely Days (Georgia Gibbs; Mercury). A fresh new country tune that lilts along with an engaging countermelody and plenty of bounce. A good cut above most such songs, and a pretty sure jukebox favorite along the chili-parlor circuit...
...hours later Hill came home from work, and Ballard ushered the whole family into the kitchen for dinner. They were all seated at a meal of canned soup, spaghetti, chili con carne, milk and coffee when Joseph and Schuer returned. "May I come in?" asked Joseph politely, standing in the kitchen doorway. Later the men played poker. They asked Betsy to join them, but she said that she played only canasta. The robbers told her they didn't know that game.

With the Korean war, Flotill became the biggest packager of C rations for U.S. troops (assembling food products made by scores of other factories).

From the original cannery, Flotill has grown to three plants-two at Stockton, a third at Modesto-covering 67 acres, using more than 25 freight cars of tin cans daily, packaging 75,000 cases of 77 different seasonal items, employing 4,000 workers at peak season...
David Alfaro Siqueiros is as peppery as a dish of chili and Red as a matador's cape. A veteran revolutionary, he knows just about as much about gunpowder as he does about paint, and is almost as much at home in a cell as in a studio (he has been jailed 70 times). Also, he wields a big brush, ranks second in Mexican art only to his friendly enemy Diego Rivera. Last week Siqueiros' latest mural was unveiled in Mexico City's Palace of Fine Arts, and it made a bang, as usual...
