Grant step into his Maroon Ford fthe same one he had when he taught usl which he always leaves within a few feet of the door step. This may seem rather odd to you, but if you could see him it wouldn't! He has gained another hundred pounds and finds it rather difficult to get around. As he rolls down highway No. 50 toward Nevada, he comes into contact, rather abruptly and w1th'a terrible crash, with Tom Cummings who, since his- ' high school days, has abandoned his quiet ways and has blossomed into a first-class playboy. Since Tom was s rather sleepy he failed to see for bicycles only. the black line reserved Mr. Grant proceeded to the nearest farmhouse and knocked on the door and who should answer but Tommy Williams. He and Betty Rogers remaining high school couple. for about a week, Tommy has employed Myrna her out.

After getting the de- tails of the accident he proceeds to the scene in his big black squad car driven by Kathryn Fish, who has proven that women can be good drivers As they approach the scene of the accident, they see a large crowd which just naturally accumulates at such things. Among them is one who both Tom and Mr. Grant, and as it be but Shirley Andrew, home works in Washington, you know. secretary.

As she hooks the wrecker on Tom's car, she hears music and pokes her head in the window to find the radio on. She turns it up just in time to hear the Thornton Twins announced. They have a program of their own now. They sing songs of yesteryear, such as nDance with the Dolly,n etc. We were somewhat surprised to learn that their sponser is Gladys Smith of the Smith Body Building Club. Since Gladys was always so tiny she is doing her bit to keep herself and others the same.
