PROPHECY June 5. We enjoyed the scenery of Ohio. June 6. We spent all day sight-seeing in Toledo and took a ride in a boat on Lake Erie. The name of the boat was Billie. The captain was Don Galey. He really guides her course. There was an orchestra aboard for dancing. It was Ennis Frazier's orchestra, featuring Sar-etta Van Houten and Bill Fouty as vocalists. We bought some magazines: Gladys bought one which is a popular woman’s magazine edited by Pat Burnett. June 7. The Windy City, Chicago, in all its glory was our next stop. We spent today on the beach, and it happened to be the day of choosing Miss Chicago: her name was Martha Searls. June 8. Went to WGN to hear a broadcast. We heard the ladies' daily hour by Maurine Scott, who is known as the gabbiest woman in radio, or anywhere, as a matter of fact. June 9. We went to the Aragon to see Dick Jergens and the second Castles dancing team. Ruby Dill and Paul Philippi. They were the dancing team that started the new dance Rippy Zippy Zog.” It has become a nation-wide hit in high school and college circles. June 10. Again we traveled all day with our destination as Springfield. June 11. Today we saw Betty Yanaway: she is now secretary to the governor. She informed us that Bob Stevens and Jim Rue are following Lincoln's footsteps there by practicing law. We ran on to Betty Staley, who was in the capital at the request of the governor. She is quite important because of just winning the women's state championship tennis match in singles; her doubles partner is Linda Lamb. Bill Arney was in Springfield on business about his Airline, one of the largest in the country. His head hostess is Ladonna Fitch. June 12. On to St. Louis. First we went to the zoo where we found Gene Hill, caretaker of the monkeys, and Dorothy Hawker selling peanuts at the peanut stand in the zoo. We went to the Sportsman’s Park: the owner of the Cardinals is Wendell Daughhetee. June 13. Went to see a rodeo from the West. June Weaver was the singing star of the show. Adabelle Elliott was the champion bronco rider. Dorothy Harper with her accordion, accompanied by the trio of the golden west, Lillian Mumford. Peggy Moody, and Mary Fasig. made a great hit in St. Louis. This trio has written many songs which they have made famous from coast to coast. June 14. We went to the theatre: the ticket taker was Mildred Shiels; she and Wilma Lamb room toogether. Wilma is cashier in an A. P. Super Market. We visited a St. Louis high school and found the principal to be Miss Philippi: Juanita Huffman is P. E. teacher there. Freda Bower is a leading home interior decorator: Margaret McGinness is her seamstress. They seam to have a thriving business. We went to the hospital to visit an old friend who is ill. There we ran on to Mable Hunt and Margaret Tyler, both graduate nurses of Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. Helen Ragon operates an exquisite Beauty Salon in the downtown area. She received special recognition from The Max Factor Company and the 1952 Beauty Salon award. We met Dorothy Hawker on the street. It was her lunch hour so we all had lunch together: she's a photographer now. She said she had just received a letter from Alice Lash- brook, who is living in San Diego: her husband is a sailor. Francis Wright had just been visiting here from Martinsville, where she and her husband run the theatre. June 15. And now home to Casey: home sweet home, there's nothing like it. Away from the sooty” cities with their smoke clouded skies. Yes. this is God's country and brome grass. The Victory Flame 15
