birds had better quit chewing the rag, and go to fighting or I will have to run you in." My boss said, "Doesn't that voice sound like home?" I gazed up and beheld LEE MAWBY, who had received the job of flying cop for the city of Wahoo. When he recognized us of course, his manner changed immediately. We were escorted into the town for a visit with the city officials. The mayor of the town was DON DIEGAL, while his advisory council was made up of RICHARD FREISMUTH, TED THAYER, BOB LAWRENCE, RONNIE FREISMUTH, and DICK FLEMMING. The secretarial department consisted of GLORIA ALMOND, ROSI STEFANI, WILLOWEAN COKER, PAT BENSON, JOAN SAELENS, SHIRLEY URNESS, JOAN KLARR, RUTH V!STISEN under the guardianship of EDWARD HOLDER and RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN. When I say that my former friends were working in this new and mysterious world, you can imagine the temptation it was to me to concede to my boss's wishes and remain in that town. But as I got to thinking of my good job with the Gelatine Company, I decided to go back. So after finishing my business for the firm, we started back to the old world, with many a sob and tear from the little girl who had not been able to locate BOB WEIR. He had left the U.S. six months before in a large passenger plane. The plane had just got out of the reach of gravity of this earth and had not as yet reached the gravity point of Mars when poor BOB had fallen out of the plane and being no pull of gravity on either side, the poor boy was left floating in space. You can imagine his hunger and thirst after being in the open for such a long time. He was so thirsty that he drank our entire supply of gasoline and we had to coast to earth. About two o'clock that night we sailed over the Statue of Liberty. There we saw RICHARD GARRISON keeping the fires going as usual. At its base stood RICHARD VAN DENHEEDE with a club, his job being to keep the Statue of Liberty from swimming up the Hudson River. At the pier stood BOB TAIT and BOB LANGELL who were having a hard time proving themselves citizens of the United States. We drifted to an aerial service station where we replenished our supply of gasoline. Then we landed on the outskirts of the town where BOB'S exhausted supply was renewed sufficiently. From there we went to the Transatlantic Broadcasting Station, There to our surprise we found JOANNE KOTCHER in charge. Due to her name and her school training she was able to hold down such a wonderful position. We were escorted into the studio where to our surprise andjoy we found the S.L.H. septette, which consisted of FRED CRAM, WALTER WARFIELD, RICHARD ARNOLD, JIM REAM, ERWIN LUCHTMAN, STANLEY BEAN, and BOB ULRICH, entertaining the world with their wonderful singing. The next selection of the program was RICHARD MISKELLY, who gave a talk on "How to Reduce." The next selection was a song "Be My Love" sung by MARY LOU MIDDLETON accompanied on the piano by DONNA ALMOND. Commercial was done by BEVERLY COOK and CLARA ALLEN on a new perfume just finished to be sent to the Planet of Mars. From the Broadcasting Station we went to the theatre. We were just in time to see the feature of the evening which was JANET ROHRER, in a toe dancing exhibition. The next event of the evening was an orchestra number under the direction of JEAN BLOCH. Members were JOANNE BELL, SHIRLEY PETERSON, BETTY DECKERS, JOAN FARRELL, THEORA LEDFORD, MARGIE D'HAENENS, JOYCE SAWLE, MONICA HOCH, and ROSIE GOESCHEL. After this there was a demonstration of the activities of the Campfire girls by BONNIE BURNS. A demonstration on the techniques of good cheerleading was given by GERALDINE KAGEFF, former S.L.H. cheerleader. Last but not least on the program was GERALD COURTNEY and his troupe of African Hill Dodgers in their trained animal act. After this program a very famous commentator of the world social news, none other than SHIRLEY LEWIS, continued her program, the script was written by NANCY LEE. THE PROPHET Mary Ellen Moll
