REPUBLIC NATIONAL BANK On Canvas with Max Shulman (Author of '"Barefoot Boy With Cheek," etc.) THE GRIM AND GRISLY ADVENTURES OF NORBERT SIGAFOOS, AMERICAN If you squeam, read no further, for today’s column is not for the squeamish. It is a harrowing story which begins in 1946 when Norbert Sigafoos, an ichthyology major from UCLA, went on a field trip with his class to Monterey Bay to study the many fish and crustaceans who make their homes in these waters. Buf truth to tell, Norbert was not very interested in ichthyol ogy. What he was interested in was television, which in 1946 was d'n exciting new infant industry. While his classmates leaned over the rail of the boat, studying the tunny and amber- jack which swarmed below, Norbert just leaned and thought about television. Thus preoccupied, he fell overboard and, all unnoticed, was washed far out to sea. A strong swimmer, Norbert, after 43 days, sighted land—a tiny atoll, far away from the normal sea lanes. Tired but happy, he clambered ashore. Being a college man, he was, of course, fearless, resourceful, and clean in mind, body, and spirit. He built himself a snug shelter, fashioned traps for animals, wove fishing lines, and arranged day and night signals to attract . any passing ships. Though nine years went by, Norbert never abandoned hope of being rescued. At long last, his patience was rewarded. On October 14, 1955, he was picked up by the Portuguese tanker, Molly O’Day. Ralph Gomez, the ship’s captain, greeted Norbert with a torrent of Portuguese. “Do you speak English?” Norbert asked. “A little,” said Ralph Gomez, which was no less than the truth. He did speak a little English: two words. They were “a” and “little.” But, withal, he wq,s a .good hearted man, and he gave Norbert fresh clothes, a razor, and a cheroot. “Nq, thank you,” said Norbert to the cigar. “I’m a Philip Morris man myself. Have you ever smoked Philip Morris?” “A little,” said Ralph Gomez. “Then you know what I mean when I talk about their yummy goodness., their delicately reared tobaccos, their soothing, con soling, uplifting, unfailing gentleness—pack after pack after pack,” said Norbert. “A little,” said Ralph Gomez. “I suppose you’re wondering,” said Norbert, “how I kept my sanity during all those years on the island.” “A little,” said Ralph Gomez. “Well, I’ll tell you,” said Norbert. “I’ve been thinking about television because that’s what I want to go into when I get back. For nine years I’ve been sitting on that island thinking up brand new shows for television. And I’ve got some marvelous new ideas! I’ve got one terrific idea for a show where a panel of experts tries to guess people’s occupations. ‘What’s My Line?’ I call it. Then I’ve got one, a real doozy, where you pull some body unexpectedly out of the studio audience and do his whole life story. ‘This Is Your Life,’ I call it. But that’s not all! I thought up a real gut-buster of an idea for a quiz show where you give away not $64, not $6400, but—get this, Ralph Gomez— $6%,000! Wow, I can hardly wait to get back to the States and sell these fabulous ideas to the networks!” There is, fortunately, a happy ending to this chilling tale. Nor bert never had to suffer the bitter disappointment of learning that all his ideas had long since been thought of by other people. Why not? Because the Portuguese tanker, Molly O'Day, struck a reef the day after picking up Norbert and, I am gratified to report, went down with all hands. ©Max shuiman, lyse If the shattering story of TSorbert Sigafoos has left you limp, com fort yourself ivilh a gentle Philip Morris. So say the makers of Philip Morris, ivho bring you this column iveekly through the school year.
