Five members of the New Orleans Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra: “We play symphonic music on pop bottles” 
Robert Rohe, who conducts the other four, wrote “The Land of the Bottle” specifically for these unusual instruments.  Rohe wrote a special composition (“Around and Around”) for this program, which the group performs.  Garry also arranges for them to perform the Winston jingle.   

Elphege Nadeau of Woonsocket, Rhode Island: “I wove the material for all the clothes I’m wearing” 
With his aluminum Hand-Skill Loom, a construct of his own design, Nadeau made everything from his suit to his underwear to his shoes. He spent many years marketing his loom, and trying to drum up interest in what had become a lost art.   

Special Guest Johnny Carson: I’m going to knock an apple off Garry Moore’s head…with my bow and arrow” 
Garry is safely behind protective glass for the stunt, but Carson hits the apple perfectly.  A feature story on this Secret with several color photos appears in the August 22 issue of TV Guide.  Carson is the host of Who Do You Trust? on ABC at the time of this appearance, still a couple of years away from taking over The Tonight Show from Jack Paar.
