T HE "Hawkins Falls, Pop. 6200," day- by-day "television novel" of life in a typical small American town, is a prize- winning drama that won a host of en- thusiastic viewers by its simple and genuine charm when it was a weekly feature on the NBC-TV network last Summer. The series is now telecast Mondays through Fridays on WOC-TV at 3;00 p.m. The program is written by Doug Johnson and produced by Ben Park, the same team that launched "Hawkins Falls, Pop. 6200" to national critical acclaim in the Summer of 1950. Hawkins Falls, mythical scene of the action, is the composite of many small American towns, and its citi- zens are completely characteristic of Phinny Zites, Handyman the American scene. Action revolves about a group which is warm in its humor, greatly- diversified in its pursuits and ambitions—and completely real. Present plans will employ the talents of many noted character actors each week. The group includes Bernardine Flynn, who will portray Lone Drewer, housewife; Phil Lord as Judge Willard Sharp, Hope Summers as Belinda Catherwood, social leader; Elmira Roessler, as Elmira Cleebe, house- wife and mother of two; and Norm Gottschalk as Phinny Zites, town handyman.

These three ladies— leaders in Hawkins Falls daily activities —are (I. to r.) Elmi- ra Cleebe, housewife and mother of two; Belinda Catherwood, social leader and land owner; Lona Drewer, housewife. 7:30 4 THE WEB— frednesday Enjoyable mystery thriller. 8:00 4 BOXING— Jimmy Herring vs. Artie Diamond, M AY 16th middleweights, from St. Nick's arena in New York.

Now Ken Wagner is really tops when it comes to drawing, and I'd like to sug- gest that you take his lessons as your • TELEVISION hobby if you don't have one.

Drawi-g is fun. And the best part • HOME RADIO of it is that you don't have to go out and spend a lot of your allowance to • CAR RADIO start this hobby. All you need is a sheet of paper and a plain old pencil. And then you can enjoy many hours of fun and relaxation just by drawing things that you may see anyplace.

Even if you do have a hobby, I'll bet you get a whole lot of enjoyment out of Ken Wagner's drawing lessons.
