Ileuam .ami I Imam! ', limi'-57 metropolis, Solomon Rapids. Leaving the Hall to get my bearings,Iinves- tigated and found that the street I was on was known as Clark Street, named for Emojean Clark, who compounded a recipe for the Clark-X- Candy bar, containing cod liver oil. While passing along the street, I was almost deafened by a radio announcer who expostulated: The record for the mile run, set by Duane Fleetfoot Wiss in 1951, has just been broken by Turtlepace Timbers Tuttle, grandson of Bernita Timbers Tuttle, noted woman equestrian. I sighed almost audibly to myself, These '47ers surely got around fast. I wafted myself into a neai by library and soon became engrossed in a book titled How to Raise Cane and Grow Lazy, written by Cecil Winkel, the most noted agriculturist of his day. Finding the library rather stuffy,I decided to visit the old home town of these '47ers. There I found the .local high school team receiving the Studer Cup in matching pennies. Both the cup and pennies were furnished to county tournaments in the will of the late coach, Max Studer. In spirit- ing by a small music store, I noticed a sign reading Songs by Charlene. From a conversation of two anile women I learn that a book of priceless compositions by Charlene Kohler, titled It's All Wet, had been recently discovered in an old well. On a billboard just outside the city, I read Use Virginiae Alberte Lipstick -- won't smudge, won't rub oif, won't get you a man! On another billboard I read, Get your pure blooded alley cats from the Steele cat farm, founded by the reposed Evelyn J. Steele in 1999. One more to go, I thought happily to myself. Where will I find him? As I floated lazily across the Solomon, I spied a white bearded fisherman drowsing on the bank. Iflitted close and from a vest pocket I saw a bottle protruding. The label read Live-long pills by Chas. Fisher. Then I came back here to resume my well deserved rest. If you'll be so kind as to leave me alone ......... .......................... wie XZ
