(1) Local Resident May Be New Ten Million Dollar Winner! A coup- le of years ago, your editor received a junk mail notification in those words."H. Hollingsworth to be awarded ten million dollars" was in the envelope in telegram print style, in one inch high capitals. The line underneath, in one eighth inch print, read: "If H. Hollings- worth returns the winning number in time." Ed McMahon of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson fame, is the spokesman for this cruddy promotional for American Family Publishers. I sent in the papers if only to see what would happen, knowing in advance I would not win a dime - the wee folk wouldn't allow it, you see. I carefully entered the fact that I was "too poor" to subscribe to any one of the dozens of magazines they wanted me to order. That was why I knew I wouldn't win, Friends! The Federal law forbids companies to set up contests which require potential winners to buy the company's product. This is the "No Purchase Necessary" statute. It irks 'em good! They were exasperated with "H. Hollingsworth" because I soon re- ceived a DROP ORDER. A yellow sheet not attached to any other papers. The wording is: "Dear Friend, Will this be the last time you ever hear from us? Unfortunately, the day has come when we must STOP MAIL- ING to groups of people who do not buy magazines..." So there is the get-around of the law! They ignore the law. I sent my "findings" to a noted consumer advocate, David Horo- witz, just to see what happens. Nothing did. He didn't reply. He works at KNBC TV in the same building where Ed McMahon and Johnny Carson do their show, and is a personal friend of both of them. FINIS (2) Air Force 1st Lieut John D. Hollingsworth, grandson of Walter Hollingsworth of 4198 South Union Street, Kennett Square, Penna. has arrived for duty with the 4th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

(3) On August 4, 1966, your editor met a nice Mrs. Sheppard at the local LDS Genealogical Library. She recited her memories of a man from her past. He was Henry Hollingsworth of Auburn, Nebraska. His wife was his first cousin (weren't they all?). His children included Mary, Stella who married a Mr. Ostrander, Esther, who married a Mr. Ellsworth and had Esther, Mary, Stella and Tillie Ellsworth; and a daughter Tillie Hollingsworth. Came from Hebron, Nebraska, to Auburn etc. This was all I wrote in my workbook at the time and Mrs. Shep- pard has died, I think, many years ago. (4) A brief letter of Oct 18, 1965, from the Cemetery of Spring Grove, Winton Place, Cincinnati, OHIO 45232, Which did not help me on my own family, states: "Our records show that a John Hollingsworth and a Thomas Hollingsworth are buried in the Soldiers Plot, Section 21, graves C-315 and A-254. Both men were members of the 79th Ohio Infantry, Company A. The burials were originally at Camp Dennison, OH in 1865 and moved to Spring Grove in 1869. We have very little in formation on these burials... Erna Binder, Sec'y to Gen. Mgr. Is this of htlp to anybody? Both men served in the same company, a sure sign that (a) they were related, or (b) knew one another quite well. (5) Daily Local News of Thurs. 0ct 26, 1989, D-18, per Albert Twaddell, talks about Gary Hollingsworth, Alabama's suddenly star quarterback. Lately, Gary says, due to sudden fame, he has had to
