emor a k ron As we look in Walter Winchell’s book of predictions to come we see Ocie Adkins, the heavyweight cham- pion of the world, training for a bout with Ezzard Charles. We see a lady dressed in white which is none other than Registered Nurse Betty Gibson prescribing Gene Lawson’s wonderful combination of Hadacol and peroxide (which does everything from bleaching your hair to curing cancer) to one of her patients Mrs. Bob Bias, formerly Miss Jean- ette Pennington. A heart condition turned out to be twins, Robbie and Bobbie. Ah, here comes a little white haired lady, Sally Plumley, founder of the Jackie Linville’s lonely hearts club. We see Bud Simons and six children standing outside of the Lincoln Theatre waiting for his wife Deloris to finish work. Same ole Bud, never would work. We enter this large marble floor building where Miss Betty Plottis training professional cheerleaders; she will not only go down in history but also when she does the splits. Who is that couple necking? Oh, it is only Johnnie Woodall and his bass horn—he never would give it up. We see Margaret Swanson McComas christening the cruiser S. S. Wimpy, named for her husband who is an Admiral in the U. S. Navy. We now go into the famous laboratory of Barbara Miller. She has just achieved her goal by inventing a human incubator to prove they’re “Cheaper by the Dozen. Whatisthis, an accident ? No, just Bobby Cummings, professional pool shark, giving free exhibitions at one of the local billiard parlors. Here we are back at 'ole H. H. S. Betty Adkins is teaching English to Henson, Vinson, and Benson, sons of the former Marie Reynolds. Here comes the bride, yes Emogene Salmons and Ronald Brock to be joined in holy matrimony by Roy Lee Lambert. What is this? A movie! Start the parade. No, just fifteen girls from Ramona Hensley’s Reducing School.

West Virginia is now the No. 1 state since Bobby Byrd has been elected speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives. Sorry, Lenhart Linville lost out but after all he is a Republican. Jackie Reynolds is an efficiency expert. He is dean of the University of Portersville. Roger Nelson is now one of Barnum and Bailey’s most valuable performers. He waters elephants. Is that school being turned out ? No we've just passed Walter Graham Jr.'s home. Those are his children; he is a famous authority on birth control. Jaunieta Harmon has taken her mother's place at the cannery. Would anyone like to know how to make Sweet Weaver Pickles We see Oddie Ashworth now going into the recruit- ing station. He passed his physical but when they read his mental test they told him they had run out of uniforms. Who is that peeping through the jail bars? It is just Kitty Walker. She has been so upset over Don’s being out of work (since they were married twenty years ago) that she walked out of the drug store without paying. In one of the big professional football games Adrian Rusk, a former Hamlin High School football player, was injured. He fell off the bench and broke his arm. Mrs. Troy Huffman the former Miss Barbara Miles, is now working in her husband's saw mill, chopping wood, but don’t think Troy isn’t working, he is holding the lantern. Now we enter the Bobcat night club in New York where proprietor Billy Vickers main attraction, moun- tain dew-ette, Lucille and Elnora White, are singing their theme song, “Blues Stay Away From Me. Was that an explosion on the Henry Powell farm? No, he just fed his rooster “Lay or Bust chicken mash that was recommended by County Agent, Basil Edwards. We now enter Hamlin High School typing class, where a movie is being shown of the champion typist. Miss Evlyn Miller. She has now typed one thousand words a minute. Ooops! We exaggerated just nine hundred and ninety-nine. We are now in the flashy tacky school where Miss Rita Pack is modeling the world renowned dress crea- tion by Miss La Betty Richardson. 15
