14 The Enfield Echo week basis.” I saw this notice in the paper, “Bring your children to the library to hear the latest Mother Goose Tales told by Angelina Por- cello.” She always was a good read- ing companion back in ’33. Dwight—Thomas Matulewicz is now in Europe getting ready for the forthcoming Olympics. He is a 2 to 1 favorite to cop the jig saw puzzle race. Remember the little girl with the great big personality? Elizabeth McCaffrey? She is now Chicago’s leading candidate for mayor. Pauline Rice is unable to attend, because she is an instructor of night classes in Columbia University. Genevieve Sca- vatto has taken over the duties of Mr. King as Music instructor at the En- field High School. Does she know her notes? Did you hear about Ruth Simons? She is leaving tonight for Germany, where she will resume her studies. John Simonton, the good- looking boy from Thompsonville, is now a world famous doctor. Congrat- ulations, John! Alfreda—Greta Hogan and Mary Bigos wrote to say that they have been added to the staff at Dr. Vail’s Sanitorium as nurses. Business must be picking up. By the way did you listen to the radio the other night? Eddie Alden is exceeding the fame of Eddie Cantor back in 1933. Mar- garet Halloran and Joseph Javorski are also on the radio harmonizing daily over the Blackstone Cigar hour. They have surpassed the popularity of Julia Sanderson and Frank Crumit. Elinor Malley wrote that she is now the nursemaid for the children of the King of the Fiji Islands. She always was taking care of children in her High School Days. Andrew—I heard George Miller was arrested the other day for reck- less driving. You see, Stella Grigas was driving along in her car while George was practicing golf in his back yard, and a golf ball happened to go through Stella’s windshield. Celia Wlotkowski is conducting a sew- ing circle. Sophie Wolodko who is a telephone operator is considered the best member. She hears all the latest news. Edwin Oates, the great artist, is now busy painting a picture of Elizabeth Bridge, the social leader of Hazardville. Dot.—While gazing across the river the other day a ship hove into sight. Some one hollered, “Hi, Captain!” He answered in a gruff voice, “Shiver me timbers. Are you salty?” After which I recognized the voice to be that of Bill Savage. I read in the sport’s column that the heavyweight champ has been matched with Barney Goo- gle’s Sully. Further down the column I found the champ to be Eddie 01- schafskie. Let’s hope he wins the title. Say, Dwight did you recognize the cab-driver? Dwight—That was Kenneth Jacobs. Dot.—I remember him now. I heard he has the cab fixed so that the fare is raised every yard it travels. Small wonder the cost was so large. He must have recognized us. Dwight—Dick Stewart, the world famous golfer, recently lost a match with Hagen. The reason was that there were too many good-looking girls among the spectators to detract his attention from the serious busi- ness of golf. Benny Testoni is a high- rated barber at the State Line. Can he give you a close shave and a trim- ming? Here are the regrets of Phillip Tatoian. He is forced to stay in Hart- ford, where he has to pull teeth. Joseph Vella is a successful jockey at the Agua Caliente race track in Mexico. Alfreda — Jane Middleton wrote that she is President of the new En- field Art Academy which was started by Josephine Tavino. I recently vis- ited Scitico. It has grown so since 1933 that there is a need for a day nursery for undernourished children. This has been ably met by Mildred King with Miriam Maher as her as- sistant. Some day I hope to take one of Saul Jacobson’s personally con- ducted tours through the Holy Land. He has Rose Cardone along as inter- preter. She always was a great lin- guist. The greatest news I have kept until the last. Vernon Connell has been appointed Personal Advisor to the President who is none other then Milton Virshup. Andrew—Genevieve Belczyk and Antonina Smith just came back from a trip to Africa. I asked them how they find the natives there. “Oh they’re easy enough to find,” said Genevieve, “but we had to be careful

The Enfield Echo 13 since he has become famous in the Senate on account of this subject. Andrew—Francis Karcz is making quite a success as a poet. He pub- lishes a poem every day in the news- papers. Speaking of newspapers, I ran across an article in the sports column written by William McLaren. You remember him, don’t you? Well he’s a sports’ writer now. In his ar- ticle he stated that Ethel Firtion is the world’s best girl athlete. He also writes that John Shea is busy draw- ing the plans for a new stadium which will be named in honor of her. Tony Labutis has the contract to con- struct the stadium. Francis Salva is following in the footsteps of his father. Rather he has gone beyond his father. He is now the proud owner of the largest garage in En- field. Dot.—Joseph Connor, Thompson- ville’s leading fur dealer also sends his regrets. I heard from someone in Thompsonville that he had a sign over his store reading, “We catch’em, on the run, you get caught.” Speaking of Thompsonville, Mary Franciamore has adopted Marlene Dietrich’s fad of wearing men’s clothing. She never did like the feminine mode of apparel. She’s the first in Thompsonville to take up the new fad. On my way to lunch yes+erday I saw a crowd gath- ered around a man who was talking rapidly and loudly. It was none other than Roy Du Prey selling “Bunkum” in large packages. Another letter of regret was received from Rita Des Rosiers. She is one of our first Mrs. Rita is giving talks over the radio on the subject “How to bring up chil- dren.” I read an article in a maga- zine—very amusing, too, because the title was, “How to get the most out of life by being noisy.” The co- authors were Mary Klimek, Mary Starr and Anna Smyth. They were such quiet girls in school. Dwight—Lois Hilditch, the beauti- ful “Titian-haired” actress is now starring in the stage and screen suc- cess, “Lover’s Night.” Can she act? hmm— Did you ever listen to the Hills’ cigar program on the radio? The sponsor is none other than the great Sherman Hills of Somers. Wil- liam Lacey is now Thompsonville’s leading drum major. To see him in action is as good as a one-act comedy. Eileen Sheridan and Sophie Ligenza are running a Ladies’ Dress shop on Fifth Avenue. They learned how to sew in Enfield High. I received the regrets of Hugo Marinaccio. He is in Hollywood filming the mystery play, “Who Goes There?” With his name the role ought to be easy. Alfreda—I read in the newspaper the other night that Henry and Rob- ert Osborn have broken all trans- Atlantic flight records by flying this expanse in 4 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. Two other Warehouse Point boys have made good. They’re Joseph Kadikas and Bruno Kvietkauskas, wno have the largest dairy farm in the United States. Ruth Kuhm writes that she has married and is now liv- ing in Los Angeles. She told me that Esther Moulton is in Reno for the third time. The attorney for the plaintiff is Anthony Buiniskas, and for the defendant Anthony Malinski. Andrew—I went to a circus about two weeks ago. Who do you think was selling tickets? No one else but Margaret Michko. I went in the tent just in time to see two of my class- mates, Dorothy Pease and Mabel Chillson in their breath-taking trap- eze acts. Lillian Starr and Helen Miller are swimming instructors at the Powder Hollow Summer Resort. Their motto is “We can teach any fish to swim.” Anthony Welesky tells me he’s going to become a magician and learn a disappearing act. He said it will come in handy at the be- ginning of each month when the set- tlement collectors come around. Dot.—Have you heard the latest about Herbert Wells? He has been elected mayor of Wallop. He seems to have the situation well in hand as his whole council is made up of the fair sex. He always was partial to the ladies. I wonder who the girl is. Her voice sounds familiar. I know now. It’s Eileen Young the “Song- Bird of the South.” Let’s go and see her later. Rita Sheehan sent her re- grets, as she is at present in charge of the debating squad at the Univer- sity of Columbia. I read that her team is meeting another famous de- bating squad next week. The subject for debate is, “Resolved that the school should be run on a 15 hour a
