The Porter Wagoner Show #281 featuring special guest Merle Haggard. Promo for The Porter Wagoner Show #281 featuring special guest Merle Haggard. Spot opens with the brilliantly iconic image of Merle Haggard singing "We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee...." The line comes through clear and unencumbered by the applause that nearly drowns it out on the performance later in the show. Then Porter introduces Merle and the show's regulars and invites us to tune in as Haggard can be heard off screen improvising a new line that goes: "...we don't put high octane in our gas tanks..." Fade out over art card with colorful illustration of Porter.

Legislators Test U.S. Army Jeep MS/CUs two U.S. Congressmen legislators sitting in a military Jeep outside the Capitol Building. Excellent low angle MS two legislators riding in Jeep traveling up a flight of steps towards the Capitol (Dome in shot). MS/TLSs legislators tooling up and down steps, hot-rodding, having a grand ol' time. Too funny. This Jeep might very well be a prototype, as it was not in mass development at the time, two companies bidding for the Army contract.
