fee?. V.% Pat. Off. IN THIS CORNER IVlEMO TO ARTHUR GODFREY: Yout mother gave you quite a rib last night. We had her out at the house and she told us the principal reason why . you had had her on your show but once was because you were afraid she?╟╓d steal the show. And you know she is so right. We listened to her play three of her own marches, her own sonata and then watched as she sat on the piano bench facing us and played two numbers with her hands folded back of her and not looking at, the key board. She recited limericks, poems and gags by the dozens and exhibited as delicate a sense of humor as I?╟╓ve ever wit- nessed. For a woman of 78, she?╟╓s a remarkable and lovable soul. She?╟╓s spawning an idea for a television spectacular starring herself and if it jells you?╟╓d better look to your laurels, Typical of the type of material she has is this: Count the 46th word down in the 46th psalm and you?╟╓ll find it?╟╓s ?╟úshake.?╟Ñ CounMbe 46th word up in the same psalm and you?╟╓ll find it?╟╓s -spear.?╟Ñ Just wanted you to know that as a guest she completely fascinated us. And I?╟╓m sure you know she idolizes you. And I know, too, from whence your talents came. IT HAS TAKEN ?· long, time, but both the $64,000 shows are now out of the first 10 in the Trendex ratings.

Progress report: Strict new policy in the Miss Universe contest for this year is that all contestants must be single. Too many married who showed up with night before. STRICTLY FOR THE BIRDS: They tell me if a parakeet is talked to many times, he?╟╓ll rattle off his name for you arid quote you nursery rhymes. The bird I keep in gilded cage is aided and abetted by special diet, toys and treats, he?╟╓s pampered and he?╟╓s petted. And yet that pesky bird won?╟╓t say one sentence I repeat. To talk with him I?╟╓d have to be another parakeet!?╟÷Jean Conder Soule . . . But here?╟╓s the other side of the story reported by the Swift County News at Benson. Mrs. A. FI. Jensen has one. She keeps the door of the cage fastened with a bobby pin. Get this?╟÷the bird has learned how to take the pin out, open the door and free itself. But now the payoff: To cover up his flights to freedom, the bird flies back into the cage, shuts the dootr and then tries to put the bobby pin back in place. POOR JUDY GARLAND has her foot in her mouth again. Columnist Leonard Lyons quoted her as saying that ?╟ ?╟ The train stops in Grand Rapids, Minn., just for laughs.?╟Ñ Ken Hickman, Grand Rapids columnist, pipes back with, ?╟úGrand Rapids has always felt kindly toward the Gumm (Judy?╟╓s real name) girl.

Instead, she has fame, money, a crazy, mixed up life with- out any of the important and worthwhile things. She could have stayed every time it stopped.?╟Ñ STRANGE THINJillJ^gfF into this office, but we hit a new high yesterdaji^^package came containing a tiny rub- ber doll about^?·?Σ≤<nnches in length.
