'Samoa' I pfzopfzecqy What a day! What an age I am living in . . . You see, I have just celebrated my Zllth birthday and have leisurely enjoyed an A-I special birthday capsule. Ah, yes, little did I ever dream the Age of the Atom would come in my lifetime, but who am nm., ,-f l to wonder and bicker with the Einsteins! Oh, well, what could be a better way to end a birthday celebration than a little spin around the world in my rocket plane? - -5 I have a few minutes to spare and, besides, it's been some time since I have seen my friends inllvlars and Venus . . . Oh, yes, I must visit the Moon on my way back, too. Imust not forget to gas up, oh excuse me, I mean atom up my rocket before I leave. I-IMMM . . . made it to Mars in 2V2 of W of a second. Gosh, this rocket really does need servicing! Now that I am above lvlars I will switch on my radar-television set and see who dwells in this first house. I don't know who lives here, but he really needs a new coat of radium on those plastic walls! Well, I do believe that it is my ole classmate, Ted Whitchard. I hear that he is quite a well-to-do farmer. That must be Mrs. Whitchard sitting over there in that rocking chair. Well, if it isn't Virginia Chandler!! What is thatconcealed in her hair?? Yes, just as I thought, one of those instruments used in new hair-dos. I guess that I had better explain. It is one of those Atomic Patronisms that light up red, white and blue, by the aid of chemicalized peanuts, fashioned by an artist by the name of . . . who is it now?? . . . oh, yes, joy Pitman. I wonder if she is any kin to that famous writer june Pitman? Ups, there goes theambulance, and look who is driving it, Billy joe jordan and Billy Snyder. Always did figure that they would go into the undertaking business. But what are those brown bottles rattling in the back? Some bootleggers lead a happy life!! Suppose that I will go down this alley to avoid some of the traffic, I-lmmm .n . . what a tiny shack in that corner, that sign out front- Get your forging done here, see manager Ray Shierling in the rear. I wonder if it is true that he has a courtesy card at 'the jail. Ciuess that I had better slow down, there is one of those balloon state patrols. Whose familiar voice is that saying, Deposit your fines here, pIease ? Well, if it isn't Bill Toole! Praise the defenders of the law! While crossing through Mexico, century before last, I stopped for the bull-fight. It was really amazing to watch Betty jean Temples, the famous bull-fighter, kill, dress, and cook the bull all at once. Some say that she will soon star in a motion picture for the S. A. P. Studios. I-lere is a hot edition of the Mars Times fresh off the Smackographer. I-lere're the returns of the first up-in-the-air tennis game perfected by Professor I.aVon Wood. I-Iere're pictures of his muscle-bound cohorts, Tommy Crawford and john Flanagan. I-Iere's also a marriage announcement of two of my old friends, Carolyn Dunning, the famous model, and I-lomer Brinson, who is equally as famous as an engineer. I-le has at last invented the highway under the Atlantic Ocean. I heard that he sold it to that multi-millionairess, Peggy Cirubbs. Confidentially, I heard by the telegraph line, there I go, I mean the grape-graph line, that after her eleven marriages, she accumulated a little cash, plus the Atlantic Ocean. Believe that I will press the button, that will press the button, for some rain this morning. Voice: Thank you this morning for pressing the buttons for your rain this morning, We have some wonderful flavors on your skyline menu today, orange, lemon, lime, and raspberry, This is George I-lammond, this morning, bringing you your favorite quartet, drip, drop, drip, and drizzle, starring: Helen Paterson, Inez Fain, Lottie Be Phelps, and Ann Edmondson, singing for you, You Are My Sunshine. Oh, my, there's t-hat station breaking in. lt's that poor friend of mine trying to sell those automobiles. I-le is giving them away, I heaf, and Billy Hayes used to have a booming business a few centuries ago, I heard in

China the other day, while I was getting my daily supply of tea, that Princess Woongo Mary Rogers of the island Managua Nicarague and her royal carpet-baggers, Ree Mills, Peggy Scarborough, and Gloria Bush, were making a tour around the world. l hear that she is to run for the President of the Sun in the next decade. Here is the planet Venus and right below me is Sing-Sing where my old friend, the Warden, Hoover Chancey and his assistant guard, Felton Sheffield, are. l see down amidst the corridors two cells fully equipped with the very latest conveniences, and the inmates are leisurely enjoying maga- zines and candy . . . Ah, ha, l see on both cells a sign- Bob Pritchard, at home to all visitors. The other sign says, Do not disturb, james Williams, Being meek and timid, they pay the state to live there. ' In Pluto today, there's to be quite a lot of excitement. lean Stewart, the stunt flyer, is to put on one of her breath-taking demonstrations. She is to try out thatsensational new rocket that moves by cream-puffs. What nerve!!! Whoops! What was that, that just weezed by??? Hmm . . . one of those new 80th century buzz- bomb rockets. I will turn on my Magic Eye and see who is aboard. There is the rocket-stewardessg well, well, if it isn't Beth White. Also aboard is that famous trapeze team, june Spence, Barbara King, and Dorothy Stokes. They are the only team in Venus that can kiss their elbow. lt is a pleasure to see them again!! Now, the buzz-bomb rocket is flying away. Wait, what is that below the instru- ment, in a plastic balloon . . . Mary Ann Harper and Betty Cox!!! . . . playing that favorite sport, root-ball. Oops! l must go to the Moon and fill my rocket. There is a cloud up there, think that l will stop there . . . That station attendant back there looked familiar. Where have l heard the name Olive Yates???? Look who l see living on the moon, with my radar-television set!!! Billy Roberts . . . Quite an explorer, so I hear! After years of searching, he found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Down below me is the Moon's College of Women. I never would believe it if l hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Miss Anna jones, Dean of Women!!! . . . Arrived l9S2, to . . . Your guess is as good as ours. Well, lite is full of surprises!!! Guess that l will start for home. I can hardly wait to settle down to a large capsule of milk!! JANE F UQUA Prophet
