Allan Johnson and Ruth Whetstone, both recently returned to this country from abroad. Allan has been serving as the UP correspondent in London. Ruth was home on leave from her duties as a missionary in India. On the plane we were served capably by our hostess, Edna Swindell. “From the airport I took a taxi to Glenn L. Martin. My driver, John Calhoun, told me that he had started an independent taxi system. I learned from Ivadene Dishong, the president’s secretary at Glenn L. Martin that Dick Hershberger and Bob Winck had become airplane designers. The evening of that same day I saw Ray Ritchey’s Orchestra on the stage of the Century. Regina Henderson was his piano accompanist. Don Evans was the first trombonist. As an added feature Miriam Gochnour and Bray-ton Bowman entertained with a specialty act in the form of ballroom dancing. “The next day on the way to the west coast, my plane was grounded in Pittsburgh. While inconvenient this delay proved rather pleasant. I met Mary Bucher who is teaching home economics at Duquesene High School. Audra Weaverling had been having considerable success with the girl’s basketball team she has been coaching at the same school. Mary informed me that Nancy Dicken had just been appointed the Business Manager of the PITTSBURGH PRESS. Betty Retsel, the society editor of the POST GAZETTE, was displaying a magnificent fur coat, which she had recently acquired from the Frank Feight Fox Farms. “To occupy my time while waiting for flying conditions to improve, I decided to drive back to Everett by the way of the Super Highway. All went well until I arrived in Bedford when a shrill piercing noise from the front of the car convinced me that the fan belt was about to break. Luckily I noticed the Barnett Garage. Emmett had one of his mechanics replace the belt. Emmett, himself, seemed to be rather busily engaged discussing the new plastic tire with Ellis Sollenberger, an agent of the Plastic Tire Company. “On the way to Everett I stopped at Raymond Cornell’s farm. He served me a steak dinner from a prize steer that he had just killed. Back in Everett, walking towards Bob Hoover’s Barber Shop, I passed Mable Imes in a white uniform. Later I learned that she is the head nurse at the Everett Hospital. At Bob’s I was told by Jim Leach, the Chief of Police of Everett, that Alice Foor is the new French teacher in the high school. Picking up the EVERETT REPUBLICAN I noticed that Lucille Stutts had been visiting in Everett. She is the dietitian at Indiana State Teachers College. After finishing with the POLICE GAZETTE where I found no familiar names, I turned to the FARM JOURNAL. I was not surprised to learn that Bob Shipley had been its editor for the last five years. Just at this moment Paul Whitfield, the proprietor of the general store at Breeze-wood, walked into the barber shop. I inquired about Gail Morgret. Paul informed me that he and Mrs. Morgret were operating year around tourist cabins in Breezewood. “My hair cut completed, I went out into Main street and noticed that Lorraine Earns was just emerging from Eugene Morral’s—The Photograph Studio. Lorraine is Secretary of the Felton Enterprises, managed by Jim Felton. “Receiving word that my plane would soon leave, I returned to Pittsburgh. Within a comparatively few hours the plane was circling over Los Angeles. My immediate destination was Hollywood where I had an appointment with Grace Masciocchi. She had just finished her new picture, ROAD TO SHANGRI LA. Co-starring with her in that picture was Blair Bequeath, Paramount’s newest comedian.

Lord Lemplump upon returning from his last tour of the Realm reported on the activities he had observed of the members of the Court of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Four. “They”, he stated, “were engaging with considerable success in many and varied fields of endeavor.” This is the story as he related it to the Lord Chancellor. “The first part of my trip took me to the Stock Exchange in New York City where I was contemplating a financial transaction with an unknown broker who, to my pleasant surprise turned out to be none other than Bob Yoder. Bob had just returned from a dinner engagement with Max Wallace, the newly elected Mayor of New York City on the Demapublican ticket. My business with Bob was completed in his office in the Bailey Center, the largest building in the United States, which was named for its founder, Tom Bailey. “While returning to my hotel I passed the Empire Theatre and noticed that currently Joan Hershberger and Jack Sponsler are starring in another revival of ROMEO AND JULIET. Back in my room I called down to the manager, Dick Sollenberger, for a man to repair my radio which seemed to be out of order. Dick, remembering me from former days sent up his chief electrician, Jesse Greenawalt. Jesse of course had the radio in working condition in a short time, so that we were able to hear Kermit Norris’s Orchestra with Betty Pee vocalizing that old favorite, “Small Fry”. The voice of the announcer sounded familiar, which as the program signed off was identified as being that of Bob Clark. “The next phase of my trip was to find me in Baltimore. I traveled in a plane piloted by Fred Roland. Fellow passengers on the plane included Page eighteen
