Prophecy Finally, remember — ignorance, disease, poverty, liquor and tobacco are the five greatest obstacles to peace and prosperity. The orator bowed out amid a thunder of applause. He was followed out of the auditorium by a naval officer who cried, Fitz! General Fitzgerald turned quickly and said, Case — why I thought I left you back in Westfield among all those women! Look at that gold braid! How are you anyhow? After hearty greetings, they adjoined to the Red Bird Room. Here, Rear Admiral Case and General Fitzgerald discussed what the war had done for them and with them., Memories drifted to the States — to Massachusetts — and finally to Westfield. Say, Fitz; our old pal, Ron Blanchard is here, exclaimed Case. She ' s reporting on the WAVES ' problems. Yes sir, she ' s a lieutenant and instead of teaching ripples she ' s teaching WAVES. ' •Speaking of women in the service, Case, one of the ablest aides this army has is our classmate back at W.S.T.C, Kay Crowley. We always thought she looked smooth in plaids — but you should see her in olive drabs. Neat, said Fitz. I was talking to Kay last week and she had just received a letter from Pearl Bennett.

My favorite is Eat Spaghetti and Grow Tall. Case chuckled. A lot has happened since ' 43, Fitz. Peg Hall is the woman director of the International Olympics. The battle cry of all her ' girls ' is ' Follow the ball like bouncing Hall. ' By the way she invariably cheers for the team that has white for its color. Fitz looked up and exclaimed, I turned on the radio the other night and what did I get but Marie Bresnahan ' s program. How I like her theme ' For Me and My Gal ' . Her latest recording is ' I Can Take It ' and her outfit is riding the waves of popularity. An- other thing, I was in Washington last month and as I breezed by the Capitol Theatre ' Hoot Mon ' — I met Regina Luce Mc ' Pherson hailing a ride to the Capitol. She explained her rush by telling me that she had to introduce her new bill ' How to Get Away Without Paying as You Go. ' Her biggest opposition seems to be someone called Ruml. • 30 •
