HON of Minneapolis a lovely dia-
mond engagement ring the other
day. No date has been set for the
wedding.
Song of the Week:
That mellow tune "As Time Goes
By" is really holding the imelight
round the two towns. (And what
prominent, matured and single bust
ness man about town is crOOnin'
Taking A Chance On Love" to
his current flame? Gosh! Dan
Cupid gets around to all age
groups, doesn't he?)
Chit Chat Hot of the Griddle:
