Dodgers' Manager Alston
Hailed as L.A. Hero
LOS ANGELES (;?) — One year
ago in Los Angeles, Dodgers Man
ager Walter Alston was hanged in
effigy because his team had blown
the 1962 National League pennant.
Today, Alston’s picture is hanging
in department store windows !
throughout Los Angeles with such
captions as “Alston, Manager of
The Year,” and “We Want Walter.”
The turn-about, is of course, the
result of the Dodgers pennant vic
tory this year, and their incredible
four-game sweep of the New York
Yankees in the World Series.
Alston is being hailed as a mana- i
gerial genius who guided a weak |
hitting, faulty fielding Dodger I
team to one of the most smashing j
victories baseball has known.

People still remember the pump-type reed organ in grandmother's
parlor. It was the mark of a distinguishd home, and a place where
family and friends gathered to sing.
When the movies came along, the
big theater organ accompanied
the thundering herds, the Indian
raids, the noisy steam trains, and
the tearful love scenes.
Then came our present day
way of living and entertain
ing at home. The organ,
now an easy-to-play elec
tric organ, invented by
Laurens Hammond, is a fo
cal point of fun wherever
people play together.
