D. when we decided to take a jolly trip In a helicopter. Our first stop was Inter lochen, Michigan, where we found JAY HUMMEL working fourteen hours a day in an olive factory, stuffing olives with pimentos, for his little wife, JEAN PORTERPI ELD. Jean spends her time mowing lawns to augment the family budget. We stopped at the Music Camp where we watched TOM BECK taking ballet lessons from BETTY ANN ORTHAN, who had just returned to the United States from Russia after completing a course in ballet dancing. At our next stop, Chicago, Illinois, we decided to visit the rymnasium. Here to our surprise we found JUNIOR SANDERS takinr lessons in muscular development from ESTEL GREGORY, the world's champion wrestler. He informed us that he and Junior still own the two prize Model A Fords in the world. They tell us that JOE JOHNSON as manager of the Chicago White Sox is competing in the World Series with the Chicago Cubs whose manager is LEO HVBLY. Of course to all those fanatic baseball bugs,” it's pretty hard to tell which team is tte worst 1 The windy city offers many possibilities for night life, so we go to the Club Shap-er-eeH owned by JIM HABERKORN. The floor show is featuring FIFE (DOROTHY) CREWS and her Curvaceous Cuties known the world over. After a pleasant trip from the windy city, we landed in Paducah, Kentucky.
