Postmaster General J. Edward Day has warned. "Chief Postal Inspector H. B. Montague advises me that he has evidence that this centuries-old racket is being promoted against the American public by increasingly active swindlers outside the country," the postmaster general declared. "Many thousands of dollars are taken from unsuspecting victims each year by cunning operators who offer Americans a get-rich-quick scheme which never pays off," Day explained. There are several variations of the Spanish Swindle but, basically, it works this way: The intended victim receives a "very personal" letter from a supposed "banker" in Mexico, which reads: "A person who knows you and has spoken very highly about you has made to entrust to you a very delicate matter, on which depends the entire future of my daughter as well as my very existence." The swindler says he is in a Mexican jail for bankruptcy, but has hidden away, in the secret compartment of a trunk, about a half-million dollars. The trunk, the letter says, is deposited in a United States Custom House.

Courses will be given in the fields of art, biology, chemistry, economics and business administration, education, English, geology, history, home economics, languages, mathematics, music, philosophy, physical education, psychology, religion, science, sociology, and speech. In addition, a number of special workshops will be available. The "one subject at a time" plan will be used, with classes meeting three hours each day, mornings or evenings, for as many weeks as the number of units the course carries. Sessions will begin June 6, June 26, July 17, and August 7, so class scheduling may be fitted in with summer vacation plans. June 5 has been set as the registration date for all summer classes. The swindler says he is in a Mexican jail for bankruptcy, but has hidden away, in the secret compartment of a trunk, about a half-million dollars. The trunk, the letter says, is deposited in a United States Custom House. If the victim will lend him $10,000 to pay off his debts, cover court charges, and get out of jail, the "banker" will give him one-third of the money in the trunk. As the swindle progresses, the victim is mailed numerous "sworn" documents, purporting to prove the existence of the half-million dollars and the ownership of the trunk in which it is hidden. If the victim succumbs to this appeal to his avarice, he is told when and where to take the $10,000, and promised that the fake banker's "beautiful daughter" will act as intermediary, and will incidentally, provide the victim with a grand time in Old Mexico. When the victim arrives in Mexico, money in hand, he is shortly relieved of the $10,000 often at the point of a gun. Usually, he is too embarrassed to report his loss. How does he help keep an old American tradition alive? SELF-reliance or the desire to "do-it-yourself" is an old American custom. Your hardware dealer is a big reason why this tradition continues to thrive. He is constantly alert for new ways to help you fix that leaky faucet, the jammed lock, the broken window. Service is his business. That's why your hardware dealer stocks literally thousands of items—so that he can serve you at moment's notice. And as your friend and neighbor he helps you in other ways, too. Whatever you decide to do yourself, paint, repair a lamp, clean the piping or shingle the roof, he's ready with sound advice for you. And how rewarding for you if your hardware dealer gives you S&H Green Stamps. Today, nearly half the families in America save them. Your S&H Green Stamps make it possible for you to choose from over 1,500 top quality, famous brand-name items at your S&H Green Stamp Redemption Store.

But unlike the reports of "unidentified objects" sighted over the past 15 years, these flying saucers are actually destined for the park, to become one of Walt Disneys new attractions for the 1961 summer season. Scheduled to open early this summer, the new adventure will have its own space station in Tomorrowland, where guests can climb aboard their own saucer, become airborne, guide their own ship and return to land on the space station. Disneyland Vice-President Joseph W. Fowler revealed that "Disneyland has been experimenting with the 'flying saucers' in Northern California for some months. Because of the air-cushion principle involved, we have kept the tests completely under wraps. However, at this time we can reveal that each saucer will be a self-contained unit in which one guest pilots his own ship in free flight." Construction has begun on the new attraction, which will be located adjacent to the "Rocket to the Moon" in Tomorrowland. A total of 64 individual saucers will be in operation sometime early in the summer, Fowler said.
