Color John Wayne - 1957
This newspaper coloring contest appeared in a newspaper on February 06, 1957. Winners of the contest received tickets to see the movie "Wings of Eagles" starring John Wayne, Dan Dailey and the lovely Maureen O'Hara. Hollywood could use a few good men like John Wayne instead of the little weasels that seem to inhabit the movie and television industry today.

Color Mr. Zesta from 1954
This newspaper coloring contest appeared in papers in March of 1954. Kids had an opportunity to win a Schwinn Bicycle by coloring Mr. Zesta. The sponsor, of course, was Zesta Crackers. I had a great Schwinn 10-speed in the mid-1970's until Bobby borrowed it and then left it in the front yard - and that was the last I saw of my Schwinn.

The Mayflower
Bobby and I at the Mayflower replica the summer of 1972. I loved visiting New England when I was a kid. The Junior Editor was a newspaper cut-out series for children and was very educational. This Mayflower Junior Editor cut-out ran in newspaper in the early or mid-1950's (I forgot to write the date on the page).
