A Bite of the Future (Continued) acation time was coming, and after making certain inquiries, I found that I could spend two weeks loafing on the island called Yap. I’d always wanted to, after learning about it away back in the fall of 1 )48. Janice’s idea of a slow vacation seemed a good one, so I started to Yap on a tramp steamer. 1 he trip was uneventful, except that the owner happened to be aboard. He, too, was going to Yap. but not for a vacation. It was nice to see Gerald Snyder again, and even nicer to learn that he is so successful in an interesting occupation. He owns a fleet of tramp steamers and is really cashing in on slow vacations. His ships travel the seven seas just to take people to places they’ve never seen before, or. having seen before, want to see again. Gerald suggested that I plan to stay at a certain resort hotel while on Yap. By a strange coincidence, my reservation was for that hotel. Gerald told me it is the best of several on the island. On reaching the island. I found that it is built up considerably, seeminglv planned exclusively for vacationers. Changes have evidently been made since we studied about it. The hotel is excellent. Imagine my amazement when I learned that the owner of this beautiful place is none other than Bud Put- man. It seems that he and Gerald have some sort of partnership which is working out well for both of them. Bud told me that Zuma Roberts first interested him in the project. Zuma is a world traveler. She became fascinated by the Polynesians and has made an exhaustive study of their culture and languages.’ On one of her brief visits to Ai after she had done considerable work in this field, she met Bud. Her glowing account of the tropical islands and their people interested him. He visited a few of the islands, and liked them so well that lie’s still there. Bud told me of Harold Martin’s latest venture. Harold had been in the wholesale grocery business. While busy with that lie had come up with an invention. It is a device that can be attached to the top of frozen foods. Then the whole thing is inverted, and before you know it. the food is cooked. It became such a success that it threatened to make the cooking range ob- solete. As a consequence, the whole range industry is indignant. Harold decided to leave the United States and develop the possibilities in China, lie hasn t been there long, but already more of those people are using his product than ever dreamed of frozen foods before he arrived. Harold usually goes back and forth between China and the United States by the fastest means possible, because he makes the trip frequently. The last time he went to China, however, lie was on a slow boat. My jaw feels peculiar. It feels like a new tooth coming through. Do you suppose Dr. Simon’s radio-active repair work is getting more results? —Mrs. Verna Shaver.
