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.
