On second glance, we see strange things-those events that occur ten years from now, in 1947. An overwhelming majority vote has placed Bernard Ragan at the wheel of our ship of state. We are contentedly drifting along on a wave of prosperity. Canton has now become quite a city, and who should be mayor-but that mighty public speaker-Orin Taylor. The Ladies' Garment Workers' Company hired a new chief shipping clerk, Marjorie Adams. Much to the surprise of all, Glenn is still a bachelor. At present, he is on the Broadway stage. Good luck, Mr. Ensby! Another position has been filled by a Canton girl. Eileen Ames is the soda-jerker at Newberry's St-ore in Morley. The name of John Robins now gleams across the nation. He has cultivated a voice second only to Lawrence Ti'bbett's, and is now busy at work. For the past four years, the populace of New York City has ardently followed the articles of the petite sob-sister of the New York Sun, Dolly Banta. Tune in WCAD at 10:00 P. M. and you will hear the Silver Melody Makers directed by Warren Thompson and featuring ffor the ladies! Johnnie Heaton's crooning. Here in Canton, Gertrude Brown was re- cently elected sheriff of this county, the first time that one of her sex has ever been honored in such a way in St. Lawrence County. Now that Bob Sims has married that cute little girl from the vicinity of Norwood, he is making a fortune by creating women's hair styles. He is quite the envy of Paris experts. The Metropolitan Opera Company yesterday signed up Muriel Carpenter on a five-year contract. It was announced that she would play opposite John Robins some time in the near future. That high class tourist camp in Pyrites belongs to Constance Crump. The whole world is echoing in applause to the magnificent portraits 'by the artist, Mary Coakley. Arnold Gary is a pilot, carrying passengers from Eben to Eddy. On Saturdays, he plays baseball for the Giants. Evelyn Coller is, today, the leading social luminary on P'ark Avenue. Boys, she's worth millions. Frank Heyer is an organist in the Presby- terian Church 'in Hermon. They say he is rushing a redhead of that city. Gary Stone now has a chance to talk as much and as fast as he pleases. It is his job to bring to your ears accounts of all football games, basketball games, 'boxing and wrestling matches. The industrious and ambitious president of the Future Farmerettesn is none other than Margaret Erickson. The little French students are now getting their lessons every day because Prof Weath- erup, their teacher, believes in laying on the rod. Maefred Woods is still in high school, but as Oakland's assistant. John Kapfer is a dentist in DeKalb Junction. Of course, he is married and has three children. Minnie Foote is the sensation of the Zieg- feld Follies of 1947. Avery Conant is a chef in one of the 'bigger hotels in New York City. He gives all credit for his success to Miss Sanford. Frances Gratto is the prosperous proprietor of the restaurant on the corner of the Pierre- pont-King Iron Bridge road, just outside of Canton. Charles and Harold Lindley are first rate carpenters. Now, they are building an addition on the old high school of this city. Taking the world by storm through her brilliant piano playing, Winifred Hull now ranks as the number one piano virtuoso of the western and eastern hemispheres. The tall, sturdy, and stately John McCartney Ls a butler in his prospective father-in-law's ome. Franklin Mace is a barber in San Francisco.
