IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC.M S lltllllllllllllllRODEOlllllllltlimm 1931 lllllllllllllllll WHILE waiting at the Hattie Creek landing field for lT. S. Zepp- lin ZR 42 which was to convey me on a sight-seeing trip to New York, who should I meet but Mr. TenElshof. Not hav- ing seen him since 1931, it was indeed a surprise to meet him and to discover that he was also traveling to the same destination as 1. Imagine our astonishment, when we boarded the Zepplin to per- ceive that Mr. Weaver was to pilot us and Mr. Downs had charge of the mechanism. However, our surprises were not yet over, for after we had gone a little distance we discovered that Mr. Kraker and Mr. E. Post, those girl-shy boys of yore, were in charge of the radio trans- mitting and receiving apparatus. While passing over Detroit I happened to remember that Mr. Schmidt was employed as assistant manager of the Ford Motor Car Co. and also that Mr. Johnson was test driver at the General Motors proving grounds. We stopped in Detroit for a short time and among the passengers who came aboard was Miss Hillman. 'Flic fact that she was with a group of young people, led me to believe that she was beneficially employed as a chaperon. This belief was confirmed when she stopped to chat with me for a few minutes.

While strolling down Main street she noticed that Mr. Merkins was posing in tailor-made suits for the largest clothing store in town owmed by Tim- merman Brothers. While in the Post Office talking to the postmaster, Mr. J. Post, and his competent assistant, none other than Miss Nanninga, she noticed that many of the high school girls were mailing letters to Miss Doane, in care of the Observer. On further inquiry she discoveied that Miss Doane was conducting a confidential column in said paper, to which the girls were addressing their “problems of the heart.” Miss Hillman then left us to attend to her charges. As we glanced through the Detroit Free Press, which we pur- chased, we were pleasantly surprised to note that Miss Carpenter was making miraculous advancement as a soloist on radio television pro- grams, and Mr. Lieffers w'as toiling in congress for the furtherance of farm relief. It was now time for us to leave and with a mighty roar our ship gracefully took the air and according to our schedule our next stop was to be New York. Arriving there and w hile our ship was re-fuel- ing we had opportunity to make a short tour of the city. While walk- ing along Filth Avenue a large, fashionable limousine drew up to the curb. A smartly attired footman opened the door and bowed for us to enter. We, much mystified, did not know for a moment, what to do. However, we were soon enlightened w hen Miss Young and Miss Post smiled and beckoned to us from the interior. We found that they Prophecy Time: 1943 Page Twenty-six
