PRGPHECY Wearily closing his brief case after the 1974 session of the United Nations, the President of the General Assembly walked out of the U. N. Building. Mr. Fogt was off for a wonderful vacation with his longtime friend and secretary, Homer Stangle. As they sped through Manhattan on the way back to his Park Avenue apartment where Eunice waited, Mr. Fogt felt a twinge of regret that he had missed the opening of the new show on Broadway, North Atlantic , starring Susan Fogt. North Atlantic was the hit play that Fred Grieves produced, so he knew it had to be terrific. When he reached the apartment Eunice and their maid, Janice Elsass, had finished packing and were ready to leave for the airport immediately. Janice, who had been with them for years, was one of the best cooks around. The taxi came and on the way to the airport, Mr. Fogt had a chance to talk to the cab driver, Farris Van Horn. Farris said he had a perfect record of not having one crack-up for three weeks. Soon they arrived at La Guardia Field and hopped a plane for Anna, the perfect vacation spot. The two stewardesses on the plane were so friendly and gracious, Mr. Fogt finally recognized them to be two old pupils, Sara Shaw and Pat Clark. They assured him the plane would land safely in Anna, because it was piloted by the very capable Boney Inderrieden. After a while Mr. Fogt thought he recognized familiar voices, turned around, and there in the back of the plane sat Batty Wilt and Don Flinn, discussing tales of wild elephants and rhinos. They were just returning from a safari in South Africa. As they flew over Eastern Pennsylvania, about 25 miles from Pittsburgh, they looked down on the 2,000-acre farm owned and operated by Alfred Schroeder and Don Schmitmeyer. Mr. Fogt and Homer decided that Alfred and Don must be making a living considering that they owned two Cadillacs apiece. Mr. Fogt picked up a magazine that was laying on the seat beside him, and-chuckled at the clever cover. It had been drawn by Wilson Watkins, who had taken Norman Rockwell's place. He turned the page, and another familiar name leaped out at him 3 Carol Fogt-Editor-in-Chief. Pat appeared then and told them to fasten their safety belts, for they were about to land. Generally, Mr. Fogt con- sidered landing a nerve-racking ordeal, but with Boney at the controls they actually floated to the ground. When they stepped off the plane, the reporters and photographers were there to greet them. Someone had evidently already spread the news of their visit. Gayla Bambauer interviewed them, and promised to give them a front page Writeup in Bill McCormick's paper. Earl Vance, Anna's greatest photographer, was also there and snapped pictures as they stepped into their new Jaguar, which Bob Raterman had waiting for them. Bob was the only Jaguar dealer in Shelby County, and it was rumored that he had made a fabulous sum of money from his sales. They were speeding to their mansion on 42nd Street, when a siren sounded and Emerson Kruse ordered them to pull over. He said they'd been ex- ceeding the speed limit, and though he hated to do this to a friend, he'd have to arrest them. They were hauled into the Mayor's court, and Mr. Fogt was surprised to find his old position filled by Palmer Stangle. It struck him as being remarkable, that even though years had elapsed, Homer and Palmer still looked as much alike as ever. Sergeant Kruse PHILLIPS FARM STORE, Anna
