August 19, 2011: Hey Mabel...It's Orris

I added 19 more ads today from November and December, 1961 and January 1962 plus one item in the Random Pages gallery from the Tuesday, 1/9/62 Ray Oviatt "On the Beam" column which states that channel 13 is delaying the broadcasts of ABC shows Bus Stop and The Untouchables by a week so they can censor them. There are three ads in the News/Special Reports Ads gallery, including a Monday, 12/18/61 ad for an NBC News Special, "Mission for Alliance" which was a report on President Kennedy's Latin American trip, anchored by Frank McGee and seen on Detroit's WWJ-TV 4.
