MOX, The Wonder Ointment

October 07, 1928.  "How many jars of MOX are sold daily?  10 Miles to MOX LABORATORIES of CANADA."  Add-Up the numbers in this newspaper ad and see just how many jars of the wonder ointment were sold each day.  Is there still a MOX Laboratory in Canada?  From a Winnipeg newspaper.

CALAMITY JANE Movie Coloring Contest

November 13, 1953.  Yahoo!!  This is one of my favorite movies!!  CALAMITY JANE starring  the wonderful DORIS DAY and the hunky, hunky HOWARD KEEL.  It also starred Allyn McLerie, Philip Carey, Gale Robbins, Dick Wesson and Paul Harvey.  " Doris is irresistible as the bombastic, rootin'-tootin' title character in this lively musical with Keel as Wild Bill Hickok, who only begins to realize his feelings for her when she makes a stab at becoming more "feminine".  Sammy Fain-Paul Francis Webster score includes the Oscar-winning SECRET LOVE." from Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide.  Doris Day is from the generation
of movie actresses that could do it all - sing, dance, act in comedy or drama.  She is absolutely terrific as Calamity Jane.

He-Man and Skeletor Cut-Outs

He-Man and Skeletor cut-outs from a coloring book from the late 1980's.  My nephew Justin was a He-Man fan when he was a little boy.  My mom had fun buying the wacky He-Man toys for him.
