THE ENFIELD ECHO 17 Speaking of Enfield—that makes me think! I saw in a paper the other day that they were having quite an exciting time down there. Turner and Pinney are running a neck to neck race for first mayor of the City of Thompsonville. Hird—Doris Bridge, as is well known, has become a famous writer. Her subjects vary from philosophy to love, and back to politics. And now here we are back in New York again. Isn’t everything clear? There’s Madison Square Garden and there’s the Yankee Stadium. A big baseball game is going on, evidently. And say, doesn’t that catcher look familiar? Why! That’s Ross Terwilliger who always used to play on our High School team back in Enfield. There’s the billboard advertising the Follies. I wonder if we could see any old friends there. Why, sure enough. Listen to this: Hear the Big Song Hit of the Season—Composed by Eliza- beth Sapsuzian—Words by B. Slater—the Jazziest Jazz Song Ever Written—“Those Dancing Blues.” By the way, do you realize who is manager of the Follies this season?—Adolph Tanguay. No more, no less. He is said to be able to qualify for this important position through the expression on his face, and also through the efforts of his pretty stenographer —Anna Schlitt. Oh! Chicago is having a big convention. The National League of Women Voters. Grace Sullivan, as President of the League, is aided in her work by Edna Vasseur, who has planned to deliver a series of lectures in all the Eastern cities to educate the women in the ways of politics. Spellman—Paris! Lillian Sisitzky taking the part of Carmen in the opera of gay Paree! Some more of our friends in Paris. See that sign. Marian Terry, Professor of Parisian Hair-dressing. Did you hear about Ruth Tilden causing a sensation by eloping with her millionaire suitor? I wonder if she did it for money or love. I do wish we could understand these Martians. Too bad we haven’t Mildred Wilson with us. You know she is a famous lingu- ist who can speak all languages. Maybe she could recognize their words. Do you see that big building down there in the middle of New York? No, not that one, the one with the grasshopper on top. That is the McCann Building. Helen made a fortune on one of her household recipes for making doughnuts. The Mack Truck Co. is buying a large portion of her stock to use as washers on their trucks. Remember how Esther Pease wanted to be a nurse? See that beautiful building out among those green hills. Her wish has been fulfilled, and she is now head nurse of that famous sanitarium. See its green sign on the roof—a dog and cat hospital. Toon—You know Mary Pianka was an expert in chemistry in

16 THE ENFIELD ECHO Ah! The scene has suddenly shifted to Hazardville. Why, it is practically one big farm, apparently owned and run by Alec Chick- osky. He evidently supplies nearly all of Thompsonville with milk. And look at Myra Garrow caring for the children at her private orphanage. She is now foster mother of 200 children. Arthur Greaves is down there working in the High School Building dentistry office. He is filling his pockets by filling other people’s teeth. I thought he had enough of school without going back to it. Spellman—I have heard that Thomas Hamilton has entered the New York Zoo as an animal trainer. One of his first duties was to vaccinate all the monkeys. Enfield, they say, has found a history teacher who rivals H. G. Wells. Cathrine Hawkes can trace history back before Adam. According to the book review, Dorothy Hopkins has sold 3,000 volumes of her book entitled, “Getting Thin in Thirty Days.’’ Sounds like a jail sentence. Hildred Higgins is still roaming the globe looking for a diet that will reduce her without sacrificing her appetite. Esther Henry claims the distinction of being the only feminine horse doctor in America. Some honor, I am sure. Toon—Remember Harold Kerr, that big husky athlete? Well, he’s gone into raising cats and canaries. What a wonderful com- bination—especially when the cat eats the canary. Theresa Halpin, I am told, has cancelled her contract with the Paramount Moving Picture Corporation to take a position with a soap company to pose as the star in “Keep That School Girl Com- plexion.” That looks like Charlotte Daly’s private school, of which she is principal. She had a hard time getting students to attend until she introduced into the course of study the subject, “How to Catch a Man.” Miss Daly believes that some of her former classmates should attend her school for a brief time. Evelyn Dineen, one of the most famous dancers in Connecticut, has just signed a contract for six years to dance before the Kim»- of Siam whenever he gives a state affair. Her manager, R. Ulrich, will accompany her. I have heard that H. P. Fiedler has become leading man in George White’s Scandals of 1935. I hope that I get back to the earth in time to see him. I wonder if he is taking his life work seriously. Bridge—It’s queer, but you would think Charles Fowler would have followed in his father’s footsteps, who is a judge. Look at him giving a trapeze performance in the Barnum and Bailey mam- moth circus. It’s hard to imagine him walking a tight rope. They say Charles Gaskell could never keep away from girls and candy. Now he has a candy store and the girls can’t keep away from him.

18 THE ENFIELD ECHO school, but now she is working in her own laboratories in Boston. She has discovered a commercial process for making cold cream out of lard. Miss Monstello has advanced wonderfully. See her studios in Paris where she is a designer. You know she designs all the snappy new styles for young men. See that husky young man, who used to be our star athlete, chasing butterflies out in the fields. That’s Joe Noratovich, the great biologist. He is an expert on bugs and claims that twenty motor bugs can travel at the rate of one hundred and fifty miles an hour. Now look at Wall Street. That portly gentleman is Patrick Needham, a broker. They say he made his millions by cornering the Eskimo Pie market. Let’s turn to the king’s palace at London, England. See that young man parading around the royal grounds with a young lady leaning on his arm. That young man is the Prince of Wales, who has at last fallen in love with an American girl—Pearl Lawrence. Bridge—Ella Noble is responsible for the holeproof hosiery she has patented among her other great inventions. These are hole- proof—they’re made of wire. Lawrence Lamont has inherited the barbering instinct from his forefathers. He has invented a machine that will cut your hair for a nickle. One of his customers is suing him for the price of an ear that the machine took off along with his hair. Eleanor King, famous songwriter, has just finished two new creations. The first is, “I Love Washing Dishes, but It’s Tiresome Without You”, and the second, “Every night Is Wednesday Night.” Hird—See that traffic officer wearing skirts! Hail the first traffic policewoman—Alice Orson directing autos and pedestrians at the corner of Main and State Streets in Springfield. I hope we shall get back to earth before the end of the week, because Henry Mercik is going to release his new dancing composi- tion known as the “Kangaroo Waltz”, at the Venetian Gardens. Spellman—Sylvia Leroux, so I hear, isn’t going to run for the Presidential chair, as she expects to get married in June. Gaze upon Dr. Charles Libby going to see one of his patients. He has been credited with not losing the life of a single patient— that is, before he presents his bill. Dorothy Malley is starting a super-woman campaign using a mailed fist. Mrs. Hancock is outdone. Miss Malley demands that woman be placed on a higher pedestal than man. Yes, the higher they put them, the harder they fall. We can clearly see the Ford Plant in Detroit, where Martin Gorman is being photographed in the front seat of a Ford, the resulting picture to be used for international advertising material. The Rev. Robert Downton of the Plymouth Church has re-
