MOTH IN MOUTH
TV Announcer Reads On (ff.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) BRISBANE, January 13. It was in the finest spirit of “the show must go on" when a moth flew into the mouth of a television newsreader, Howard Ainsworth, while he was on camera.
He had no option but to swallow it But it refused to go down.
Still reading, he gulped as his voice rose. Another gulp and down it went. Ainsworth politely excused himself.
Yesterday Ainsworth, moth swallower extraordinary’, was promoted a grade by his employer, the Australian Broadcasting Commission.
