YOGI BEAR GETS TRANSFERRED...

As regular readers will know, I'm a sucker for just about any

form of YOGI BEAR merchandise.  Why?  'Cos the bold bruin

was a prominent feature of my early childhood and reminds me of

those far-flung days.  Just received these 'dabitties' from the '60s,

and 'though I can no longer recall if I ever actually had them

when I was a mere kidlet, I'm glad to have them now!

"But why are they called 'dabitties'?" some of you may

be wondering.  Because you'd lick (or wet with a sponge) the

back of your hand, place a cut-out transfer onto it, then dab on it

'til it had dried and the image had been 'transferred'.  (I'm sure you

divined the 'transfer' part for yourselves.)  I don't know whether

this was just a Scottish term or it was used across Britain -

what did you call them in your neck of the woods?

Now if anyone has a set of DALEK dabitties from the

1960s that they want to sell, I'd be a very happy man!
