My Mom Just Sent This Clip

 They've had this knocking around since 1962!

It raises a few questions and observations:

1. Did my parents subscribe to The Eatonville Dispatch, when they were stationed in England?  Or did my Grandma save the clip and give it to them later?

2.  Yes, it was newsworthy to get a very long-distance call back then.
