Jack Ulkus, the new politician under Stalin relating, Why you should join the Communist party. As we listened to his speech we heard him say, What have you to lose? With David Clark (ivinsky), the atomic physicist, we shall create a bomb vich vill surpass all other bombs. With our secretaries, Joan Daigle, Catherine Rossi, Lucille Malone, and Betty D'Amico, who can take dictation at five hundred words a minute, our Comintern will progress faster than any other government in the world. That I promise. India! Our latest report reveals that our little Norwegian lass and lover of biology, Ann Karlsen, has put her magic to work on snakes. She sits on the steps of the Shah's palace blowing her magic flute as the snakes twine around her neck. Inside the palace sits Donald Barrett with his harem of women, including his favorite, Jeanine Drouin, assisted by Audrey Cooney, Tina Marino, Alice Gall-not, Janet Kullman, and Betty Knight, who keep up the life of the party. Cairo, Egypt! A new method of preserving mummies has been discovered by Richard Fiori, and his assistant Bob Dornfried. Research on the subject was done by Helen Konefal, under the direction of Donald Falcetti, the greatest mortician of the United States. From Sweden comes the news that Betty Blom-gren is living in solitude in a castle high in the mountains. Once a year she is entertained by a renowned group of clowns, namely: Bobbie Davis, George Cable, and Johnnie Padelli, from the newly formed circus. Frances Recck thrills Betty with her daring acrobatic feats. Back once more to the United States. We have been receiving numerous reports about the ability of our ace detective Slick McMurray and his aid Jeannie Langdon. In their latest case they caught a notorious gang of shoplifters, the biggest operators in New York City. Now we will adjourn a moment while Fred Guite, our announcer, tells us about that super-duper new Suzie wave for football players. We hear our former star football player, Phil Tinsley, suggested this to keep the hair out of the player's eyes. The Catskill Mountains now loom up before us. Seated on the very top is Billy Cole. Curiosity led Bill to take up his abode in these mountains, for when he was asked if he had ever seen the Catskill Mountains, Bill replied that he had only seen cats kill rats. Texas. Flash! Prices on chickens are definitely decreasing since Jane Conger opened her chicken farm. With the aid of Bob Lenois and Lucy Leone, her right hand helpers, the chickens get expert care. Double flash! A trip is now run by Dick Avery and Louis DeVivo from the United States to Canada. They can boast of being the only fellows who ever succeeded in seating 17 persons in a Ford , thereby accomplishing a feat that would make Henry Ford smile in dismay. Dick and Louis never use a speedometer. Speed is reckoned by physical phenomena. At a speed of 10 miles per hour the fenders rattle, at 15 the driver's teeth rattle, and at 20 the gold fillings fall out. And that concludes our broadcast for today. You have been listening to station WACK. After Thought These scenes may never be thus; 'Tis but with fun we wrote; Prophetic vision tells us None will our thoughts misquote. Signed: ANNE PATTERSON JANET AUSTIN Your mysfic eyes for 1949. 21
