THE ENFIELD ECHO Joseph—Look at the changes! Sky- scrapers on Enfield Street. There's another building going up. “Building contractor, Stanley Kalwa Co. Look at that window on the third floor of the building across the street! Charles—I)o you see that fat woman? Her face seems familiar. Alice — Why that’s Madeline Snyder. Someone told me that she is running a big dancing school for fat women. The instructor is Mildred Chillson. Joseph—Who’s that directing the traffic in the green, gold, and blue spangled uniform. Pearl—It looks like Gertrude Schneider. Alice—Isn’t that a beautiful candy stoi-e on the corner! Why, it’s owned by Helen Stack. Charles—Did you see Robert Miller who is the new manager of the prison farm in Shakers, in his new limou- sine? Harry Grey and Stanley Jen- nola are his assistants. They are very successful with their rubber plantation. Alice—Imagine Thompsonville ever having a million dollar stadium. The feature this week is the bout between Columbia Testoni and Roaslie Pawel- cik with Wanda Lehmann as the ref- eree. Donald Smith, Mayor of Ware- house Point, accompanied by Matilda Drangenis, the town clerk, are the honored guests. Joseph—Turn that lever a trifle to the left. Oh, that’s Somers. I can tell it by the large white municipal sana- torium of which our old classmate Elizabeth Alden is the doctor on the staff and Vera Holmes is the super- visor. And here we see Stanley Gor- man, probably the only person who believes that the depression of 1931 is still going on. He is now the di- rector of the Somers School of Social- ism which is affiliated with wisdom from the Enfield High School. Anne Townson is teaching the Art of Re- spect. Alice—What’s all that commotion about? Pearl—They’re celebrating the elec- tion of Teddy Bak to the State Sen- ate. Here he will have an opportunity to reveal his noted power for argu- ing. Charles—Alvin Jackson became a more successful Sea Scout than a Boy Scout. Now he’s Rear Admiral of the North Polar Bear fleet. One of his policies is that there is no North or South Pole. According to him it’s all the bunk and that the people are hav- ing illusions. To treat the subject more fully he has written the book entitled, “Scientific Illusions.” Joseph—In 1940 Joseph Jatkevicius graduated with honors from the Bluf- fem Ein Bluffer University. He then went to Bluff Point, Kansas where he expected to determine whether Ein- steins theory is fallacious or not. Be- cause of his genius he has succeeded in separating gold from goldfish. An- other thing, he is trying to bluff the people that down is up and up is down. (Enter the Queen of Mars, Mar- garet Kreuger) : How do you do? I heard there were some people from Earth here on Mars and I wish to extend to you a most cordial welcome and invite you to dine at my palace tonight. Pearl—Why you’re speaking Eng- lish!!! Margaret—Yes. a thousand years ago Sir Thomas Richney was shot up here to Mars. He taught us to speak English. Charles—I am getting hungry. Let’s accept that invitation to dinner.
