The Enfield Echo 27 Along side Miss Lamont’s Shoppe is the S. S. S. Shoppe, the “Smart Set Sews Shoppe,” established by Miss Anne Eagleson. In goes Jackie Thompson to take her forty-ninth lesson. Is darn- ing a stocking still a day’s work, Jackie? Elena DeCaro has the smartest Beauty Parlor on Main Street. Her broomstick coiffure, which takes three days to dry, is quite the rage. Catherine Santanella who is working for Elena tells us about Chester Luczai’s prize cow, which tips the scales at 202. Catherine tells us that if we want to see it we ought to go to the County Fair. So off we start in our rickey old 1941 Buick (amaz- ing how long these cars last, isn’t it?) Our journey takes us out through Elm Street which has been re-named Wonder Avenue. To our surprise and bewilderment we find those once vacant, deserted, golden fields of Elm Street have now been turned into a gigantic airport. Its owner and operator is Miss Constance Angelica, well-known business woman. Those beautiful hangars that stretch across the land were designed by Stella Petroski and Co. A plane has just landed and a group of nurses tumble out of the beautiful ship. This is the first year that the Thompsonville nurses are having a convention. Among the familiar faces, we see Kathleen McConn, Eileen Hanrahan, and Eleanor Bak. Josephine Yuskis, our famous majorette, descends with her private secretary, Miss Jean LaGrange. Up at the pilot’s control we see Harold Reed, ace pilot. Speaking of pilots, did you know that Rose Reveruzzi is test pilot in an elevator at the Stella Swist Department Stores? We must hurry to get to the fair before dark, so we leave these people going merrily along. Quite a few are taking the subway to Springfield to see the newest show, “Enfield on the March.” Among them is Josephine Romano, scientist for Enfield, who is experimenting with tobacco worms. After a few minutes of riding, the fair grounds come into view. The grounds are divided into two parts, the domestic and the animal shows. In the domestic part we see Anna Wietecha, displaying her home-made jellies and jams. Louise Breen is dis- playing her latest frock creation, a shoulderless raincoat. Mary Shlatz and Nina Buscemi are competing for the blue ribbon given for the best apple pie. On the grandstand at the farther end of the field we find Geraldine Martin and Helen Pierog as gracious judges for the day. In the animal section we see the fore-mentioned prize cow, owned by Chester Luczai. William Comstock has been awarded a medal for the fastest-racing pigeon. David Beckman now holds a blue ribbon for creating a skinless, eyeless, potatoless, potato. Who do we see at the hot dog stand ? The one and only Andy Siana. He pompously informs us that he is now working on a newspaper staff. The paper is owned, operated and edited by Irma McKittrick. The assistant editor is former police commissioner,

28 The Enfield Echo Joseph Vesce. His secretaries are Sophie Agrapides, Lois Pierce, and Irene Feeney. The staff of reporters consist of Anna Kamaros, Mary Melfa, and the photographer is Mary Polek who always “clicks” at the right moment. We inquisitively ask who the copy boy is. Meekly Andy answers, “I am.” Next to the fair gi’ounds is the Thompsonville Country Club. Jenny Bonk is playing a stiff game of tennis with Elizabeth Ryan, tennis champion of Four Counties. Oh, my, Betty just missed. Be careful, Betty! By the way, Bernard Bordua conducts his internationally known Golf School at the club. His special pupils are Stella Klezinewski, Dorothy Frigon, and Harold Hardiman. That hand- some Johnny Weismueller that we see diving into the pool, we find, is Frank Russotto, swimming instructor. Dusk is upon us and so we must leave the Country Club and the fair grounds. On our way home we see Edward Mokrycki literally flying by in a new “Silent Breeze” automobile. Further down the road we see a crowd of people huddled together. Two cars are involved in an accident. Oh, my, in one of the cars is that famed explorer, Miss Irene McNulty and companion, Margaret Renals. Miss McNulty is still searching for a Paradise on Earth. Our friend, Mr. Mokrycki, was in the other car. State Policeman George MacCracken gets everything under control and orders that the motorists be taken to the Enfield Hospital for examination. We take part in all this excitement and proceed to the hospital. As we enter the hospital we see that the corridor is crowded with pretty nurses all busily, yet silently rushing about. Josephine DeMaso and Agnes Nigro assist Elaine Carmel with fresh white linen for the day. Later we learn that the patient who has caused such a great discussion among the nurses is Sam Lauria, football hero. Jane Novak, hospital dietitian, enters his room with spinach and carrots specially prepared for him. While there, we see Miss Virginia Blaney, Debutante No. 1 strolling in. She seems very much disturbed over Sam’s condition. On the top floor of the building we see Barbara McCullough, important insurance woman, waiting to see Dr. Philip Scavotto. Miss McCullough is a steady patient of Dr. Scavotto. On our way out we stop to ask the desk clerk, pretty Helen Jamrogowicz the condition of our friends. “Simply wonderful,” she replies. “Only a bruise here and there.” The cold, brisk air greets us as we leave the hospital, but it is quickly followed by the scent of smoke. There’s a fire in the block across the street. We see a mass of people quickly gather- ing. Out of the tiny windows of Edith Cote’s Tea Shoppe, dark, black smoke pours. Anna Arabek, Edith’s helper, quickly gathers what she can (cash register especially) and runs for dear life. But these two young ladies are not the only ones disturbed by the fire. In the “Wonderland Theatre,” manager, Norman Gagne, trvs to get his crowded theatre quiet, while usherettes Marian Leete,
