Restoring a wilted Wurlitzer can be both costly and timeconsuming. Last year United Air Lines Captain Erwin Young installed an organ out of the Regent Theater in Harrisburg, Pa., in his home near Mount Vernon in Virginia. Less mighty than most, Young's Wurlitzer has a two-manual console and seven ranks of pipes. But it has cost him more than $10,000 to purchase, ship, and install it in the new cinder-block and brick annex that he built for it behind his house. The work of wiring, releathering, tuning, and voicing took unnumbered hours. Sighs Young...
Simonton's own Wurlitzer is one of the largest home installations in the U.S. Housed in a private 63-seat movie theater in the basement of his Toluca Lake home in North Hollywood, the organ is a four-manual 36-ranker, identical in size to the instruments in Manhattan's Paramount Theater, the Fox theaters in Detroit, St. Louis, Brooklyn and San Francisco.* Nucleus of Simonton's organ was a 19-rank job from Paramount Studios in Hollywood, to which he has added a new four-manual console and ten additional tons of pipework...
...first results were all too military, but the mind soon came to outrank the manual of arms. Though all Culver boys above eighth grade are enrolled in R.O.T.C., drill is confined to Saturday mornings in warm weather.

Often recruited from Culver's resoundingly successful summer camp, the boys seem to thrive on the school's theory...
...years ago. Everyingham believes that the Communist takeover in the U.S. is well along, and that "there are many who are working with the Communists to accomplish this." The titular president of his organization is Tulsa Evangelist Billy Hargis, 36, whose material formed the base for an Air Force manual attacking the Protestant clergy last year. Hargis is convinced that Christianity is a fine place far Communist infiltration because "the Christian idea of brotherhood means to a lot of people turning the other cheek...
...business, licensees must spend 3½ weeks at McDonald's "Hamburger College" in Chicago, where, with the aid of such gadgets as an automatic patty flipper, they master the technique of cooking up to 36 hamburgers at a time. Textbook is the 81-page McDonald's Manual, which specifies every operation in detail, e.g., hamburgers must be locally purchased "commercial" grade chuck (fat content 17% to 20%), formed into 1.6-oz. patties 3⅝ in. in diameter. Each is to be garnished with ¼ oz. onions, one teaspoon of mustard, one tablespoon of catsup and a pickle...
