I landed my plane 1n Van Wert about 230 one sun sh1ny day It was a swell day and I felt l1ke I were sweet slxteen I always carry street clothes 1n my plane for Just such an occass lon as thls So grabb1ng my clothes I went mto an anteroom where I changed hurrledly and breathlessly telephoned for a taX1 I tr1ed to settle my nerves whlle proceedxng down town but my womans 1ntu1t1on told me that somethlng deflmtely was gomg to happen And so lt d1d' We came to an abrupt stop on Maln street as the traffxc llght turned green to glV6 the motor1st on Wash1ngton the rlght of way Then someth1ng happened All of a sudden my neck felt as though lt were 1n two pxeces w1th no connect1on what so ever A dr1ver had ev1dently fa1led to stop when we d1d and gave us qulte a bump I told the tax1 dr1ver that I would nt mlnd walk1ng across the street had taken a good look at hlS face and I suddenly real1zed I was talk1ng to Jun1or Rumble The dr1ver that had Jarred us was Dennls Robey who never had

couple of sodas Qulte naturally enough she d1d all the talkmg I was mformed that she and Hubert Konkle were farm1ng near Van Wert and that Hubert was known as a solo1st all over Van Wert County She 1nv1ted me to spend the even1ng w1th them We thought we would go to a beauty salon and spend the rest of the afternoon goss1p1ng We PROPHECY chose the best salon 1n town WhlCh IS owned and operated by LOUISE Bashore There was an acrobatlc show on 1n town and so for evemng tertamment we went to see that B111 Walter owned the show and was the star acrobat hlmself It was late when we reached the1r home so she declded that I should stay over n1ght Herb re tlred and Marguer1te and I went to the k1tchen to make some coffee Returmng to the 11v1ng room we turned out the llghts threw an other log on
