Jim Richmond, 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Kent Richmond received confirmation this week that he won a $500 cash “consolation” prize on the NBC program “What’s This Song?” Jim really had hoped to win the portable television set offered as another prize.

Jerry Dieter, who will soon receive his PhD degree in chemistry from the University of Kansas, has been employed by Sinclair Research, Inc. at the Harvey, Illinois, research center. He has been assigned to the Petrochemicals Division which is involved in research.

Championship flight in the annual 2-day Labor Day weekend tournament at Marion Country Club was won by Rosse Case with a 146. He also won the longest drive prizes on both days. A total of 20 golfers participated.

Mrs. Darrell Weigart wasn’t present when her name was drawn for the $200 prize in this week’s Cash Day drawing. Dennis Tajchman, Ramona, missed $5; W. H. Blackim, Marion, received $25; Henry Schimpf, Marion, missed $5; and Mrs. Clayton Hamm, Marion, received $35.

“Ole 23” the worked-over Marion hot rod owned and operated by Wayne Graybeal and Bob Konarik has been doing well for herself lately. She and driver Wayne Graybeal took second place in the trophy dash over the weekend at Junction City and went on to win the feature event in the evening.

They plan to return to race in Junction City this Saturday. There also will be a women’s race that evening. Either Margie Graybeal or Mary Konarik will pilot the racing car.
