Former County girl now appears in pictures
Former County girl now appears in pictures
Word has been received from Miss Colleen McCann of Hollywood saying when she worked on "Winged Victory" in July, the neighboring set was filming "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" with Spencer Tracy playing the part of Van Johnson, a newcomer and a Dandy guy, portraying Ted Lawson. Ted Lawson is the author of the book. He lost a leg in that April 18th, 1942 raid and was on the set authorizing the scenes, making it as authentic as in real life.
Miss McCann says it is fine to see a movie star like Tracy, but watching the hero going around on a wooden leg really made history.
Colleen's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim McCann, were formerly of Phillips County and she is a niece of Mrs. O'Brien Doyle.

County ranchers now in 'Buffalo Business'
Buffalo calves are in the proud possession of Dave LaFond, Malta rancher. LaFond and Henry Compton drove to the Meissner Ranch in the Sweet Grass Hills near Chester on Sunday and brought the two young bison to their home. Although only young calves, the animals are more than twice the size of yearling cattle. LaFond plans to raise buffalo on his ranch west of Malta "just for fun." He said he has always admired the buffalo as other men collect coins and old cars, it has always been his desire to own buffalo.

Street Talk
Question: Are you more or less confident of the future since the Republicans are in control of the House and Senate.
Moral Hanson: I really don't thin it makes any difference. I'm optimistic. Give them a chance.
Tommy Thompson: It's a toss-up!
Vivian Siewing: I'd like to be confident. Put your confidence in God, not man.
Steve Kirkegard: I'm definitely more confident, because the liberals have proven time and time again how to waste money and undermine the moral fiber of our country.
