...week. Duxbury (pop. 4,280), like many upper-middle-income bedroom communities that sprawl around Boston, is the scene of a new form of social phenomenon-somewhat like the old town pump-that is coming to full flower in New England. In Duxbury's town dump, as in Lincoln's, Hingham's and Wayland's, local citizens who can well afford to pay for garbage removal prefer to haul away the week's trash in their own Chevrolets, Thunderbirds, Chryslers and Volkswagens. Thus, on every Sunday morning gather old friends-and new acquaintances-who dump...
...such a way one Hingham widow was said to have furnished her home; a Duxbury mother found a piano that served for music lessons for her four children; a Lincoln housewife found a perfectly usable playpen for her baby. To the dumps, too, come service committees from the League of Women Voters and even local politicians in search of a ready-made audience. On one recent Sunday, a crowd of happy-go-dumping Hingham residents showed up with jugs of martinis and plates of hors d'oeuvres, proceeded to make a three-martini cocktail hour...
Buck Jones, Hoot Gibson, Tim McCoy, Bob Steele had little to add to the formula, and the singing cowboys, Gene Autry and later, Roy Rogers, added little more than a sour note. Nevertheless, during the '30s the oats ripened rapidly.

Richard Boone (6 ft. 2 in., 200 lbs., 44-34-38) is perhaps the only television gunslicker who is worth his whisky as an all-round actor (he is currently playing Lincoln in the Broadway production of The Rivalry). The name of his TV character, Paladin, is meant to suggest a knight errant. But the hero of Have Gun, Witt Travel is actually just a hard-boiled egghead, western style, who spouts Shakespeare while the lead flies, smokes 58? cigars, advises the public to "try marinating venison in whisky." He is a private eye in peewees, and though he always...
...much of the auto industry overtime pay was the rule. Ford's Ford Division was operating six days at five assembly plants. So was the Lincoln-Thunderbird unit, along with Studebaker-Packard and American Motors. George Romney's Ramblers set another production record: 8,550 cars turned out on the way up to a programed rate of 8,850. Still catching up from the effects of a strike-caused glass shortage, Plymouth was on a six-day week at the Detroit, Newark, Del. and Los Angeles assembly plants...
