the work of Billy Rose. "The Stripper," brought laughter, applause and whistles from the fans.
A medley consisting of Mancini's favorite songs that have won the Academy Awards followed. Although most of the songs were composed by others, his "Moon River," which has almost become his theme song, was included along with such numbers as "Never On Sunday," "High Noon," "Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing," and "Buttons and Bows."
Mancini received a standing ovation after he finished "Peter Gunn," which was to be the last song on the program. "We've run out of music," he laughed, "so we'll repeat one of our more cultural numbers."
AFTER THE SECOND standing ovation, Mancini, obviously pleased, came on the stage, which was ringed with potted plants in full bloom.
The audience roared as the orchestra and Mancini swung into "The Stripper" once more.

1. Counting your riches?
That's a laugh.
8. I thought you were loaded.
2. How so?
I have exactly a dollar thirty-two and three pages of green stamps.
The way I figure it, I can hardly afford to wake up tomorrow morning.
He told me I'd have to demonstrate a more sensible attitude toward money before he'd shell out anything above the subsistence level.
5. Didn't you tell him tusks were in?
4. Call your dad. He always comes through.
Not since he found out about that pair of elephant tusks I bought for $198.50.
6. That's no problem. Next time you get some dough, get yourself a Living Insurance policy from Equitable.
It's one of the most sensible things you can do with your money. It guarantees security for your family, builds cash values you can always use, and by getting it now, when you're young,
you pay less.
I'll do it! But don't tell dad about my new stuffed alligator.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL
But more oceanographers are still needed, and so today this column, normally a vehicle for slapdash jacularity, will instead devote itself to a brief course in oceanography. In view of the solenity of the subject matter, my sponsors, the Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blade Co., makers of Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades which give you more luxury shaves than Beep-Beep or any other brand you can name—if, by chance, you don't agree, the makers of Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades will buy you a pack of whatever brand you think is better—my sponsors, I say, the Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blade Co. will today, because of the solenity of this column, forego their usual commercial message.
As everyone knows, thirteen-twelths of the earth's surface is water. Thus we can see how important it is to know and understand our oceans. Toward this end American colleges last year embarked on a program to increase enrollment in oceanography. I am pleased to report that results were nothing short of spectacular: In one single semester the number of students majoring in oceanography rose by 100%—from one student to two!
We begin our study of oceans with that ever-popular favorite, the Pacific. Largest of all oceans, the Pacific was discovered by Balbon, a Spanish explorer of great vision. To give you an idea of Balboa's vision, he first saw the Pacific while standing on a peak in Darien, which is in Connecticut.
The Pacific is not only the largest ocean, but the deepest. The

explorer of great vision.
Mindanao Trench, off the Philippine Islands, measures more than 5,000 fathoms in depth. (It should be pointed out here that ocean depths are measured in fathoms—lengths of six feet—after Sir Walter Fathom, a British nobleman of Elizabethan times who, upon his eighteenth birthday, was given a string six feet long. Many young men would have sunk in a funk if all they got for their birthday was a string six feet long, but not Sir Walter! String in hand, he scampered around the entire coast of England measuring seawater until he was arrested for loitering. Incidentally, a passion for measuring seems to have run in the family: Fathom's grandnephew, Sir John Furlong, spent all his waking hours measuring racetracks until Charles II had him beheaded in honor of the opening of the London School of Economics.)
But I digress. Let us, as the poet Masefield says, go down to the sea again. (The sea, incidentally, has ever been a favorite subject for poets and composers. Who does not know and love the many robust sea chanties that have enriched our folk music—songs like "Sailing Through Kansas" and "I'll Swab Your Deck If You'll Swab Mine" and "The Artificial Respiration Polka.")
My own favorite sea chanty goes like this: (I'm sure you all know it. Why don't you sing along as you read?)
O, carry me to the deep blue sea,
Where I can live with honor,
And every place I'll shave my face
With Stainless Steel Personor.
Sing hi, sing ho, sing mal-de-mer,
Sing hey and nonny-nonny,
Sing Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Sing Stainless Steel Personny.
I'll harpoon whales and jib my saus,
And read old Joseph Conrad,
And take my shaves upon the waves,
With Stainless Steel Personrad.
Sing la, singing lo, sing o-lee-a-tay,
Sing night and noon and morning,
Sing salt and spray and curds and whey,
Sing Stainless Steel Persorning.
