...almost like old times-distressingly so. There in the Nielsen top ten last week were the old familiar faces, from NBC's Bonanza, in first place for the second year, to Gomer Pyle, The Farmer's Daughter, Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, The Beverly Hillbillies, Walt Disney and Bewitched. There was Red Skelton, now in his 12th year and ranked No. 6.

Though wreckers will get the Johnson's Wax pavilion, the company intends to continue showing its splendid film, To Be Alive, perhaps at its Racine headquarters. Walt Disney will take back his electronic, talking Abe Lincoln from the Illinois pavilion, his moving cavemen from Ford, and his thousands of gay puppets from Pepsi-Cola's lively "Small World"; all will probably appear in Disneyland.'
