PROPHECY May 30, 1953---Washington, D.C. And down the steps of the White House strides the Honorable Senator James Edward Gindler, who has been busily engaged trying to convince Congress to pass a bill sanc- tioning Senatorial Pool Pa rlors in the White House. At the foot of the steps we see Ace Blattner sweeping vigorously, dressed in the traditional white. Recognizing each other, the two find a comfortable bench and sit down;--to talk over old times! A friendly peanut vendor, in his little red hat, accosts the gentlemen, asking them to partake of Heim's roasted toasted pstachios . He tells them that Corda Lee is now working as the private secretary to Admiral Robert Kulbe, who is sponsoring the re-election of Udell Wehling and Lester Gentry, co-mayors of the metropolis of Alhambra, Illinois. Purchasing a magazine, the gentlemen behold the lavishly attired form of Roland Paul Harris, now modeling for Esquire. In the advertising section appears patent No. 45987692, the latest in no clutch autoplanes being manufactured by the philanthropist, Kenneth No Clutch Stuckwisch, who employs the daring Wayne Hug as his test pilot. In the feature section, they see Models by Abert , with a short verse by Laverne Casper. The ‘Practitioner of Highway Sanitation’ explains to the illustrious Senator that the beautiful model is none other than Norma Sudhoff, who succeeded Betty Petty. The movie-section enthralls the august statesman, as he reads of the exploits of the three flooges, Curly Red Plocher, Larry Ed Zobrist, and Moe Metzger. The nation's top billed movie is, I Vant To Be Alone , starring Marion Leutwiler. The Senator then tires of the magazine,and flips on his portable radio. The good gentlemen hear the long, liquid tones of Alfred Kaufman telling the public of Schmet- ter's Soft Soap, 'the soap that Spellies success'. The program features Hotch Isert and his singing wolf hound, direct from Carniege Hall. Perturbed by the incessant static, the Senator then tunes in to station M I N K, owned and managed by the loqua- cious Gladys Abendroth. A round table discussion is in progress, with Lyla Thurnau, Helen Stocker, and Jeanette Thurnau speaking on the relative merits of the 'Basin Street Boogie', and the 'Two O'Clock Jump'. A sudden news flash interrupts the dis- cussion, as Dale Schwend announces that Orville Chub Plocher has broken the world's speed record for hauling milk non-stop from Flatbush to 'Frisco in his famous little green truck. Pensively turning the dial, the Gentleman in White hears the melodious strains of Pansy, Make Up Your Mind , as played by June Hanselman and her 100 man orchestra. This was enough for the Senator and the radio was cast aside. The Senator tells the Sanitation Executive that his most loyal boosters are Jane Schmiedeke, foreman on a riveting gang, Marion Feutz, of the famous Powers Models, (third row, second from the end), 'Tugboat' Hebrank, who has the heart of a Skipper, and three beautiful housewives, Evelyn Brinkman, Blanche Kuhner, and Agnes Tschannen. The Pride of the Department retorts that Leona Casper is his most satisfied cus- tomer. Her Time just seems to Fly. The Empressario of Avenue Hygene relates that most of his time is spent in front of 58358 Hairpin Curve, the home of Jane Holliger, where finding the littered wreckage of permanent wave machines is a daily occurance. In parting, the revered statesman invites his old friend to witness the launching of the new Liberty ship, designed by Kenneth Muscles Horn, and to be launched just 30 min- utes after the laying of the keel. Suddenly, the friends are disturbed by a wolfish howl as a sound truck comes into view. A blaring voice then announces the coming at- traction at a local theatre, as being that magnanimous epistle, A Wolf on the Loose , written by, produced by, directed by, and starring Paul Siegrist. And Lloyd Vaughn Hunkins, well
