The Chicken That "Laid an Egg" You're looking at a picture of what was supposed to be one of the year's most ambitious and astonishing experiments on television. Video star Bert Parks, planned to televise, for the first time, a hen in the process of laying an egg--the ceremony to take place on the daytime "Bert University Parks Show" over NBC TV.S Silverstein, (left) a New very York kindly City supplied veterinarian, the hen, assisted and by Dr. Bert E. (center) and stagehand Bill Day, injected a special serum that would cause the hen to lay within a fifteen -minute period. The idea was to have the TV cameras focus on the hen as soon as it showed signs of cooperating.

Unfortunately, the bird, ignorant of television schedules, came through two minutes early, and out of camera range. Bert, somewhat disappointed at the outcome of the experiment, commented, "Next time, we'll get a talking chicken who can let us know what's going on." Lowell Thomas: World's Most Famous Newscaster When Nelson Case (left) introduces CBS newscaster Lowell Thomas every evening to the audience as the "world's most famous newscaster." he is using the phrase by which the world traveler, lecturer and newscaster is most generally known.

Thomas' sponsor, of course, is Ivory, which is generally known as the "world's most famous With an estimated output of more than 2.000,000 words year for the past twenty years, Lowell Thomas comes by the "most famous' phrase deservedly.

In addition, he has visited more places, interviewed more celebrities and participated in more great events than perhaps any other man alive. Not only great adventure but thrilling variety has marked his career. He discovered Lawrence of Arabia while on a trip of explora. tion. He has recorded the curious customs of the pygmy tribes of Africa.

In Australia, he filmed a dying race of aborigines. He hunted tigers with the Prince of Wales in India, and in Malaya was enter. tained by the mighty potentates who gave him glimpses of the lems of the Orient. But those adventures were topped in 1949 when Lowell Thomas' and his son, Lowell, Jr. were invited to the forbidden land of Tibet.

He had a audience with the Dalai Lama in Lhasa, and aired the first broadcast from the isolated "roof of the world" over the CBS network. Born in Ohio and reared in a Colorado gold mining camp, Thomas has been gold miner, cowpuncher, newsaperman, editor, author, lecturer and, of course world traveler and newscaster. All this has provided the background to make him today's foremost reporter of world wonts--as they are happening!
