If It's a Dwarf, It May Be a Hoax!

These two articles ran side-by-side in the edition of Bartlesville's Examiner-Enterprise for Sunday, July 20, 1969.
I wonder how the New Church took the news about the absence of Moon Dwarfs.  Their official site is here.

Regarding the second article, aren't you likewise bemused that anybody would fall for the idea of close-up photos of the Moon, taken from Earth?  Surely if you were educated enough to read a newspaper, you knew that the technology of your day wasn't quite that advanced?

Ponder such musings while you breathlessly await next Monday's post!  See you then.

Three Fillers

All three of these mini-clippings are from the July 22, 1969 Tulsa World.

According to the University of Florida's Canal Record in 1960, Cal Bard wrote "Rhyming Our Times" for the World. He was also quoted in a 1962 State of Oklahoma publication.
In re the above, think of America as The Little Red Hen.  The UN is made of up all the animals who didn't help make the bread, but are ready to eat it after the Little Red Hen finishes baking.

Regarding this Variety blurb, I don't know if "GET STAR DASH ......" was supposed to be part of the headline or not.

You too can wonder, until next Monday.  See you then!

... And That's an Order!

"Listen to President," that is.
It's from the July 21, 1969 Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise.

Bebop on back by next Monday, mates!
