This Webpage offers a transcription of a short article published in the 1975 JMC 10th Anniversary tabloid created and distributed in April 1975.

This article, entitled "Local Color Dep't.", is a profile of Muriel Arwin, who worked in the Snyder Phillips Grill from around 1967 through at least 1975.

Photocopies of this material were sent in by Stewart Lachman, a photocopy of the entire tabloid was sent by Cleo Parker, and an original specimen was submitted by Cynthia Freeland. Thanks, Folks!

The contents of this article have been transcribed for Web presentation. Aspects of the specific layout, formatting, etc., therefore diverge from the precise appearance of the material in the tabloid.

If anyone has additional 'hard-core' data on JMC, its operations, its performance, or its outcomes, please Contact the Editor.

QUOTE:
 
"The longer I stay here, the more I'd hate to leave. I have not gotten stagnant in the job yet. ...I like happy endings, happy movies ... I want to travel. Whenever I go anywhere I see someone I know, and I know that'll happen no matter where I go."
 
PROFILE:
 
The last of the red-hot Mommas. An individualist. Candid, quick to the retort, proud of her work, eyes wide open to the world around her. Not just a memorable "character", but a loving, robust woman who sweeps through the grill like a fresh breeze. Unforgettable. There's nobody like her.
 
HER CHEF D'OEUVRE:
 
Tuna Salad a la Muriel

4 1/2 lb. can water-packed tuna
1 1/2 celery, chopped
Miracle Whip

Drain tuna, and squeeze dry with hands before crumbling to fine texture. (Wear plastic gloves.) Add celery. Add Miracle Whip to taste, and to individual moistness preference. Serve on toast.

"I try to make it at home and it never turns out right."
