HEN John COnJ'ad talks to his elephant, there W are no raised eyebrows. Instead there are shrieks of glee from John's young WNBQ fans as Elmer The Elephant not only talks back hut gencl'ally outsmarts his friend, trainer and butt of the pranks Elmer plays every weekday afternoon at five .... Actually, Elmer is not completely there; he's only a life-sized, papier-mache puppet head of a pachyderm who speaks by means of printed cards or props. During a "conversation," a game 01' a lesson, John may suggest that they make a deal, whereupon Elmer will produce a deck of cards. For Elmer has lots of things in his floppy-eared head, namely wires and pulleys plus a real live actor to manipulate them. . Some months ago, Elmer began to show signs of wear and John tried to replace him with another puppet. But wonicd fans protested, asking "What's Toy elephonts are an easy clue as to what's the wrong with Elmer?" and so J ohn took his new favorite TV program for Pamela. Penelope ond young puppet, added curling eyelashes and a frill John when Elmer's creator isn't reodiflg to them or trimmed howdah and introduced Elmira, the helping lovely wife Lydia with the dinner dishes. beloved Elmer's girl friend. A while later, John tried again, but once more the youngsters howled, "That's NOT Elmer!" The third puppet may soon grow a gray beard and appear as Elmer's father.. John's original uniform at NBC-Chicago was that of a page boy when, sixteen years ago, he attended classes at the stlltion's announcers' school. Too shy to appear at auditions, John sent recordings of his voice to various stations and eventually landed his own commercial show at a sma!l Chicago station. Finishing his education and gaining experience in EJ Paso, Texas, John was emceeing a dance remote when the station manager asked if he'd like to meet one of the local belles. John pOinted to Lydia Chapman- who later turned out to be the manager's sish.'l~and they were married just before John enlisted in the Navy. Today he gets many of his program ideas from his three offspring-Pamela, 9, John, 8, and Penelope, 4. , John's carpentry hobby helped him to build the original puppet, and his penchant lor magic is • the source of many of the tricks and whimsies that have made Elmer as real and loved as Santa Claus 01" the Easter Bunny. 6 WHAT'S NEW (Continued from page 5) The "Inside" Story of recently celebrated its seventh birthday.

But the photo was enough for anybody who's been keeping even one eye on television, and the letter was delivered post-haste to Soupy Sales, Station WXYZ-TV's lean, lovable man of mirth. The big polka-dotted cravat is Soupy's trade mark fOr 12 O'Clock ComicS, his weekday lunch clate with the "Birdbaths," as he affectionately calls his junior fans. As Soupy and Detroit youngsters meet across the TV set for lunch, there are cartoons, comedies and tricks, as well as chats with such unusual friends of Soupy's as White Fang, Black Tooth, W illie the Worm and h is girl friend Too-Too, FOl' fans who al'e older in years but still young at heart, Soupy dons a more subdued four-in hand to present Soupy's On, every weekday evening at eleven. The tie is the only thing that's subdued, however, as Soupy showers his viewers with a riotous quarter hour of music, dancing, joking, and guest celebrities. Soupy was born Milton Hines in 1926, and grew up in Huntington, West Virginia, whel'e he debuted on a local high school radio show. He was aiming to be a journalist when a new radio station opened up in town and Soupy hired himself out with them for a recompense of experience only, Later, he went on to spin his own deejay program, to conduct a teen-age show in Cincinnati that won the PTA award for the best of its type, and to garner additional experience in Cleveland with a comedy-plus-music show. Soupy met his wife Bal'bara back in Huntington, and today they have two "birdbaths" of their own- Tony, 3, and Hunt, 7 months-and rent a three-bedroom house where Soupy spends off-hours on jazz music, writing, reading and renewing old friendships. The genial comic was so named because a WXYZ-TV , executive thought the name Hines might conflict with , Guests such as Marilyn Maxwell are typical of food sponsors on a potential show. After hours of the stars that join in Soupy's evening frolic. thumbing through two telephone books, they came up • with the name "Sales."

With this estab lillhed, Roger and Phoebe feel certain they can easily place the guilt for the robbery on Lorenzo while they themselves escape with a fortune in gold. With Roger's and Phoebe's nefarious scheme nearing fruition, Belle, distraught with worry over Lorenzo, senses that some great disaster is impending- and that only she herself is wholeheartedly interested in pro tecting Lorenzo and gUUI"ding against any traps which may have been set for him. However, even Belle doesn't realize that she is racing against time-for Roger and Phoebe may put their scheme into operation at any moment. Will she be able to finfl the proof to back up her suspicions before Lorenzo finds himself ac cused as a thief and the betrayer of his good friend, Basil Dunbar? Once, in a past that for Belle seems dim and far away . n the midst of her present unhappiness and trouble--and that for Lorenzo is concealed by the darkness and confusion of his loss of memory-Belle and Lorenzo Jones were married and lived happily together. Will Belle-even bringing all hel" love and patience to bear-find a way to restol"e this past and save Lorenzo from possible ignominy and ruin?
