Best rib of the week was pulled by Producer Robert Lord on Warner Casting Director Steve Trilling The day Errol Flynn was supposed to report for "Dawn Patrol", Lord called Trilling and said the Irish star was on the phone from New i York, saying he had flown there and was taking an added week's vacation. Then they pretended to transfer Flynn's call to Trilling. It was a perfect gag, because Hollywood believes that Flynn would do anything. Trilling's blood pressure soared 20 points before the ribbers finally i revealed that Flynn was sitting in Lord's office.

I lHe took the ribbings offered in i introductory speeches good-satured-I ly and came back with a few samples of his own Irish wit. I There was a twinkle in his eye ! as a wrist watch was presented him. “Thank you,’ he said. “This is the latest watch I've received.” For half an hour Corrigan was subjected to a "Questions and answers” test. Many of the 700 banqueteers wrote questions on slips of paper and Corrigan attempted to answer them. , “What is a blarney?” one asked. | “That’s what some think I’ve been telling you,” he replied. Governor Townsend in an address told Corrigan there never was a welcome "such as the one accorded our distinguished guest.” i “I am proud of your contribution to aviation and the example you have set for the young men of Am1 erica," The governor said. Senator Sherman Minton declared that every American citizen was proud of one who challenged “3.000 miles of trackless ocean and hit Dublin right on the nose.” Corrigan's contributions to aviation were outlined by Lieut. Col. H. i Wier Cook. The flight was “well thought out," Cook said, and not due to “Lady Luck or bravado.” Joseph P. McNamara was toastmaster. The young Irish hero was an allnight guest at the Governor's mansion last night. o Heart Education Pushed Philadelphia —(UP)—The Philadelphia Heart Association has started a campaign to educate tfle public regarding the dangers of heart disease ae a result of a 100 (percent increase in fatalities from cardiac ailments in Philadelphia since 1920.
