I decided to return and see how my proteges are getting along. It's been ten years since I saw the little DEARS. I'm sitting on a cloud watching the world go -by. There is Jerry Cook. He is in the mousetrap business and doing quite well at it too. He has everyone coming to his door, for he has the most unique trap ever invented. Over there on U. S. 40 I see Dick Conwell. He is traveling from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. He drives a Conwell Special, his self-designed semi. If you were to look toward the West Coast, you would see Phyllis Lewelleng she lives in San Francisco. Phyllis married a millionaire playboy and has scads of money. Who is her guest today? Phyllis always has famous people to tea. It is Ruth Evansg Ruth is the best sport- scaster in the 48 states. She hasher own stationg the call letters are C. H. S. Isn't that a coin- cidence? I know it isn't nice to eavesdrop, but these hen parties always were good listening. Whom are they talking about now? Tom Wilhelm, well it seems Tom is a star singer. He is singing at New York's most famous nightclub, the Platinum Cow Bell. Jim Bainter is the ownerg those two are going places.

Norman is a champion skier and with his wife moves in the elite circles of Europe. Rex Terrell has been successful in business. He manufactures clothespins that taste goodg the green like lime, the red like strawberry and various other colors and flavors. Gordon Smith is an explorerg right now he is exploring the North Pole. His nurse is Lois Hamilton, who inherited a large fortune from someone, I forget whom, but she has to go to the North Pole before she can receive the money.

He performs for the King and Queen every Wednesday evening. Bill Drumm is in Italy nowg he is a private detective.
