276     March 12, 1958
Betsy, Henry, Faye, Bob Sweeney

Betsy is to perform live on CBS immediately after the show in the US Steel Hour presentation of Give Me My Son.  This will take place in a studio three miles away.  In an impressive display of technical wizardry for 1958, Betsy participates in the first half of the show on a closed-circuit television monitor, while watching the show on a monitor of her own.    

Bob Sweeney was a little-noted comedic performer of the 40s and 50s who transitioned into a successful career as a TV director.  He directed more than half the episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, and earned Emmy nominations for his work on Hawaii Five-O and The Love Boat.     

“Tiny” a large Saint Bernard dog: “I have another dog inside my barrel” 
Tiny is wearing around his neck the brandy barrel traditionally associated with Saint Bernards in the Alps.  However, there is no proof that the dogs ever provided that particular service for wounded travelers.  The myth originated with a 17-year-old British painter named Edwin Landseer (later knighted), whose 1820 work Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveler gave the public the image of that wooden barrel around the dog’s neck.    

Captain [Floyd Amundson]: “I have to salute my mother-in-law” (She’s a Major in the Army) 
The Air Force Captain’s mother in law is Major [Mary Elizabeth Nelson] from the Women’s Army Corps in Portland, Oregon.    

Special Guest Pat Boone 
Boone makes the panel do physical fitness exercises while questioning, and Boone’s secret is that he’ll do twice as many as each member of the panel.  It’s not difficult for him, as the panel has a hard time doing any at all.
