2Q TRGJAU The guide then informed ue that we would stop for a little while to watoh the Donkay Ball game which was now in progress. Evidently the score was oretty dose for the fans were cheering wildly. But one person seemed more enthu8iactic than the others for her face was red as a beet and she was sweating furiously. I thought at first I had recognized her and now as I drew oloser I knew who it was, it was Dorothy Easton. 8he was manager of the team Evidently a good one too, for her team had gone undefeated this far. 8he told me she would like to have me meet her Bat - Boy. Was I surprised to see Lemolne 8mith filling this position. My, the world is full of surprises isn't it?? After chatting awhile the guide called all aboard and we all got in. After riding about ten minutes the radio, one of these new exclusive tyoe8, built in the floor and will give you any station you are thinking about It hapoened that someone wanted some news and news it was. Flash Doris Pratt, multimillionaire heiress, has Just eloped with some strange man from Reno, however our most famous detective, Charlene Green is on her trail with a Sub-Marine!■ This startling information was followed by another almost as startling. Miss Evelyn talker of Hawaii, has just been ohosen Miss Hawaii of 1960 and was making a tour of the Americas. Hawaii, you know has Just oeen admitted as the 49th state. Evidently the person stopped thinking beoauee at this moment the news cast was cut short and what should we hear but Call Fo r Phillip Morris and as the original Johnny developed a bad throat ailment who should be substituting but Stanley Cleland. Ginny Simms who has been on the Johnny Presents Program is a Seargent in the army, and so ably taking over her position is the new Swoon Crooner, Gladys Mansfield. e In the seat beside me lay a newspaper, hot off the Dress—the press you know, was built in the top of the bus and was operated 2,000 miles away bv Abe. This was the twelve o'clock edition. Turning to the page dedicated to oelebreties, I was amazed to read in large type at the top that Dorothy Densmore who is a movie actress had just won the Academy award for the best individual Derformance in the picture Too Many Husbands whlon has been currently showing at Homer. In a little smaller type, a little farther down the page, I read Torm r Homer Girl makes good as a song oompoeer. She writes FA3T songs you snow the boogie woogie type, Get it? The composer was none other thin Olenna Folk. To the right of this I read an article of equal interest. It stated that there had been introduced in Hollywood a girl dlreotor of moving Diotur«« mips Mildred Hakes, who was sole director of Regal Pictures Ino. Doing fine too. The only trouble was she was overworking. The last picture in which there appeared 56 characters, she had personally portrayed 42 herself. Straight ahead there appeared a circus—and we were told that we wmilri stop here for a short time. The first person to greet me was Eruoe MicVl mhn owns the whole affair. He told me that he was fery sltiltted Sit! thl hie head clown was doing. (I later found out that he was head down ) One of hie co-workers, a trapeze artlet, was aleo an old eohool chum Harv Neltrir She waa very becoming In tighte too. y Nelt2ka- After taking In moet of the Important featuree of the clroue we headed back. traveling a few miles, I looked up at the pereon seated beside me, and for the first time realized that it was Maxine King. We chatted awlv and she told me that she was managing a dletltion school, and she had also trimmed herself down to a scant 118 pounds. When I returned to the city I decided that I would go back to Homer for a short visit. They were building a new white-house there when I left and it should be nearly completed now. I found that It was completed and standing on the steps of the newly constructed capital was Alloe Newhouse. She had been In charge of the construction job and was busy making a statement for the new. reporters. Her speciality Is building Hew Houses. new8
