A LIVING MANNIKIN Marvello, a ‘ mechanical
man,” will be at Macks October 4-6. Anyone who can
make him laugh will win a new Chevrolet Vega, and any
one who can even make him smile will win SIOO. In
reality Marvello is as flesh and blood as any other human.
Mechanical Man Coining To Macks
A man who was once a
medicine vendor a number of
years ago is now a “mechan
ical man” named “Marvello"
who supposedly cannot be
made to laugh. Marvello,
whose real name is Mel
Oakes, will appear at Macks
October 5-7, and anyone who
can make him laugh will win
a new Chevrolet Vega. From
previous reports, it will be
very difficult to even make
him smile, which will bring
the victor SIOO.
Make no mistake about it,
“Marvello" is as flesh and
blood as anyone else, but for
37 years he has maintained
his "mechanical man” act. In
the beginning, if a person
could make him even change
his expression, they would
win a prize, but sifter, repeat
ngvtie**. bp decided to
"change' The requirements for
winning. His original net in
cluded an ambulance to car
ry him to his destination along
with police escort and the
whole works of flashing li-hts
and sirens. After being tilt
ed upright in his stretcher,
a cord would be plugged in
and he would start up.
The 72 year old “Marvello”
has received recognition in
Ripley's "Believe It Or Not”
for his ability to remain ex
pressionless and unblinking
for long periods of time.
Although he can smile when
he wants to, it will be inter
esting to see if anyone in our
community has the wit to
break his untarnished record.

Rep. Jones Reports From Washington
During the week the mili
tary construction appropria.
tion for fiscal year 1972 was
passed by the House. The
total amount was in excess
of $2.2 billion, which repre
sented an increase of $133
million over fiscal 1972, but
$382 million below the ad
ministration’s request. In
cluded in this vast sum was
$2,143,000 for construction of
new bachelor enlisted quart
ers at the Cherry Point Ma
rine Air Station. This was
the total amount requested by
the base and was not cut by
either the Bureau of the Bud
get nor the Appropriations
Committee. Also allotted to
Cherry Point was $310,000 lor
water pollution abatement
programs, which arc de
signed to control pollution
from military installations
and ships in coastal waters.
Os interest to the district was
an interpretation of Secretary
of Defense Melvin Laird’s
of military bases. As stated
by the House Appropriations
Committee, “The Department
of Defense takes all possible
steps to ensure that military
construction is neither re
quested nor built at military
installations which may be
closed or inactivated within
(he foreseeable future.” The
legislation was passed over
whelmingly by a vote of 292
to 13.
Much interest has been ex
pressed in the law which pro
hibits an ASCS committee
man from serving more than
three consecutive terms. The
House Agriculture Committee
last week approved a bill
which would delete the word
"three,” and if approved by
the Congress, will permit the
serving of four terms.
Many of you will recall the
