Winifred and Paul Flood run a husband-wife speech and drama teaching practice

A syndicated column profiles Winifred MacCardell Flood and her husband Paul Thatcher Flood, who teach speech in Winter Park, Florida during the winter season. In 1960 they worked with entertainer Dorothy Shay at a summer theater in Cooperstown, New York, Paul as manager and Winifred as speech and drama coach. They taught students aged 8 to 80, emphasizing breathing, interest in the subject, and self-confidence over self-consciousness. Republished under a different headline in The Record, explicitly marked 'Copyright 1960, King Features Syndicate Inc.' — confirms the syndication year but adds no new fact.

    Source masthead reads 'Montana Standard, Thursday, Augus[t] [?] 1960'; day digit is illegible in the OCR
    Why Day of month not claimed; OCR renders it as 'tI', not a safe read.
    Reasoning The masthead clearly gives month and year even though the exact day is unreadable in this scan; the column itself says 'This year they are working with Dorothy Shay...', anchoring the Cooperstown engagement to the masthead year.
