Historical May 1985 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Audience participation is quite big these days.
The “sit in and love in” crowd of the 60’s has gotten older and while there may be wrinkles, kids, Volvos, and microwaved quiche, participation is still important. We’re involved in politics, with our lawn, our kid’s education, and “getting in touch with ourselves.” Well, dear reader, once again In Your Ear is on the cutting edge.
This column is designed for you to participate! No, not the limmerick contest or name the photo caption contest (those will come later).
This column, thanks to some hard work by Nordmann Printing Company and a few extra bucks from the Times’ budget, is written in secret ink. Yep, just like when you were a kid. It’s not a terribly difficult ink to make appear (that was possible, but it was much too expensive!).
In what looks like blank space below, you’ll actually find my column written in a secret ink. You have to do something to the paper to make the words appear. I’ll give you some hints, though: you’ll need, among other things, a combination of friction and water. Those two alone won’t do the trick, but it doesn’t take a great deal more than that. Oh yes, don’t worry mum, no dangerous ingredients are necessary.
One more final hint: 60 x five. Happy searching. (Don’t bother holding it up to the light—that won’t help at all.
The remainder of the column continues my theme of how the 60’s kids have grown up and out.)
