"We know that quite a few people, from school days, have carried over a little feat of memory — the ability to name the capitals of all 48 states. Maybe you're one of them. Now we have heard from Thorvald Martin Tandberg, of 14280 Robson street, who has done better than that. He has memorized those 48 and the capitals of all the nations, protectorates and provinces. He says if we care to test him out by tossing such things at him as "Cyprus" he'd come back with "Necocia." Or if we tested him with "Jordan" he'd answer "Am-man." And if we thought of something tougher like "Mozambique" he'd reply "Lorena Marquis." Or say "Bhutan" and he'd quickly tell on its capital is "Punanks." He says he has about 150 of them at his tongue-tip. We think that is a pretty good memory for a fellow who is only 82."
