LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27 (AP) — Walker Edmiston, an actor who was the voice of many cartoon and puppet characters, including Ernie the Keebler elf in television commercials, died on Feb. 15 at his home in Woodland Hills. He was 81.
The cause was complications of cancer, said his daughter, Erin Edmiston.
Mr. Edmiston was born on Feb. 6, 1926, in St. Louis and moved to Los Angeles in 1947.
In the 1950s and early 1960s, Mr. Edmiston had a children’s show on local television, “The Walker Edmiston Show,” featuring his own puppets.
In the 1960s and 1970s, he was the voice of many characters on shows created by Sid and Marty Krofft, including Dr. Blinkey and Orson the Vulture on “H. R. Pufnstuf” and Sparky the Firefly on “Bugaloos.”
Mr. Edmiston also had acting roles in episodes of television series like “Gunsmoke,” “Mission: Impossible” and “The Dukes of Hazzard,” and performed for nearly 20 years on “Adventures in Odyssey,” a radio series produced by the nonprofit group Focus on the Family.
He is survived by his daughter.

Accountants at an Australian car insurance company have found that Capricorns are the safest drivers. Correlating birth data with crash rates, they found that your sign is the least accident prone. This probably has to do with your renowned patience and carefulness. While I applaud you for that accomplishment and urge you to continue expressing your attention to detail while operating heavy machinery, I also recommend that in the coming week you make room for happier kinds of accidents. You need certain educational blessings that only serendipity can provide.

Verticle Oracle card Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
There are two basic approaches to manipulating people. In one, you manipulate people solely for your own good. In the other, you do it equally for your good and their good. In the second type, moreover, you deeply empathize with and even become more like the people you want to influence. You allow them to work their magic on you at least as much as you work your magic on them. Guess which kind I'm urging you to express right now, Capricorn.

Verticle Oracle card Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
I was watching Oprah's TV show at 2 a.m. "Take off your shirt and look down," she told me. I don't automatically do everything the World's Wealthiest Woman tells me, but I trust her a lot. So I did what she suggested. What she said next, however, revealed that she wasn't actually talking to me. "Eight out of ten women are wearing the wrong bra!" she exclaimed. "Are you?" She then gave tips on how to select an undergarment that's just right for a woman's shape, size, and posture. I watched in perplexed awe. How could so many people be ignorant about such a fundamental thing? Later, while meditating on your astrological omens, I realized there's a comparable phenomenon going on in your world. You're missing something important about one of the basic facts of your life. Please find out what it is.
