The day following the 13th of January was one when men, women and children, who seldom show the same reverence toward their families, took time out from busy lives to pay their respects to a gigantic personality-for the last time.

Jimmy O 'Flynn was the personifica tion of expressive talent. His impact, whether on stage. radio or television, was constantly of the highest tradition. One of his favor­ ite songs, "Make Someone Happy Today,'' written expressly for him by a local citizen, was his credo. In turn, he gave his all to charity for medical campaigns and benefits of every conceivable kind. But, ironically, they could never find a cure for his own fatal ailment.

He was indeed a star. He could ad-lib on par with the finest. He sang and sold a song like Harry Richman, delivered ga gs with the surety of a Milton Berle and absorbed the lessons of the business with the maturity of an eager twenty-year-old. He always held up his end of the show, no matter what preceded him, and more important, gave his all, his ever changing health notwithstanding.

It's peculiar writing about Jimmy O'Flynn in the past tense. He always looked forward to full days ahead. Jim was seven-yet in those few years he lived the full lives of two youngsters.

He will be remembered by thousands, and Radio City's million dolla r studios will be astonishingly empty without his talents and personality-the likes of which Rochester will not see again for a lifetime. R. C. ROCHESTER TV LIFE Rochester's Official TV Program and News Magazine

During this time many fascinating hob­ bies were developed-one of which was deep sea fishing. She soon became expert enough to land a whopper fish with a minimum of difficulty-and won the re­ spect of more seasoned fishermen. Surf riding - another favorite pastime - was abetted by expert instruction from the island natives who knew the sea so well. Just one among many other accomplish­ ments, Ann learned to play the popular island sport, Jailai. It was only natural that "Clee" should become an expert swimmer, competent equestrienne and an able flyer. According to "Clee" she loves Hying because it gives a feeling of complete freedom to be up in the clouds.

DON'T assume that your television receiver can operate without needing repair. The average television receiver has from eighteen to twenty three tubes and approximately eight hun­ dred small parts, all of which must do their required function in producing good picture and sound. When the television set is in operation it has about as many tubes and component parts at work, as there would be in six small radios. However the nature of television operation is such that the tubes and parts are subject to much more critical conditions, than the And the Joint equivalent parts receive in a radio.
