Franklin and Leonard Weinert have chargeing to conduct the trial when the abductors are of the investigation and Edgar Wiltse is prepar-found. Paul Oliver is anxiously waiting, while Robert Rieschick tries to comfort him by saying she'll never be released. Marjorie Jahns and Geraldine Jones, who were the last persons to see the victim, say she was dressed in a green suit with orange accessories. Flash! Inspector Ernest Strasil reports that the missing girl has been found and returned to her home. She just wondered if anyone would miss her! The program continues with Doris Stein man giving interpretative readings on the Silver Sardine hour. Another artist who shares her popularity is Quinton Lively, master of a new instrument called the Gazooka. After the broadcast we board a street car and ride into the country where we exclaim over the Green Pastures. Fern Scholl owns the most beautiful farm on the island and just across the road Genevieve Wheeler owns a yacht club where we can see one of the daily races which are put on by her patrons. We stop at a lovely spot in the middle of a green valley to visit with Edwin Brecht, who discovered the real fountain of youth. He has enclosed the well and invites any of his classmates to drink at will. Having found the Green Islands a reg.on of exceptional interest because of renewed acquaintances, and believing that the class of 1938, members of which we have found to be well and in health, is by far the most progressive group ever to graduate from the Falls City High School, we turn our faces homeward with the satisfaction that we, too, are a product of that great institution.
