Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, LC: (SK2) SALT LAKE CITY -- Sept. 10 -- HE WANTED DANCING GIRLS -- Bud Slagle of Salt Lake \ City enjoys bedside manner of "Aspasia" an amateur belly dancer whose real name is Sue \ Sainsbury. Slagle's wife Colleen arranged the entertainment for her husband who has \ been confined to hospital bed since July 24 with plebitis condition. "Every time we came \ for a visit and asked if there was anything we could bring him he would say "Just bring \ me some dancing girls,' so we decided to comply," says wife. Slagle, 52, father of five \ daughters, one of whom works as nurse on his floor, and a son, reacted to the gyrations \ of the 25-year-old secretary-dancer with "Whoo Whoo." Aspasia performed for 10 minutes \ in a surprise visit to LDS Hospital Tuesday night. (AP WIREPHOTO) (gm40800mbr) 1975
