611155 Praphecy We have turned the hands of father time ahead and now are walking in the land of 1967. We come upon what looks like an airplane hangar but discover it is a rocket-ship hangar. We are invited to leave on the next trip to the newly reached Mars. The big men in the space travel business are husbands of Betty Swainston and Barbara Van Duine. Here are Betty and Barbara to see us off now. As we board the ship, we meet two pretty stewardesses, Gert Davis and Io Murray. The pilot, Gerry I-lerp, starts the ship and soon we are soaring through space. On the way we get acquainted with many interesting passengers. Eugene Knobloch and his bride tell us they are going to spend their honeymoon on Mars. Two more couples we meet are Bill Riksen and his wife, Joan, and Dennis Pavlak and Linda, who are going up just to see what it's like. Eugene Striegle, Harvey Kamps, and Jim Hennip are going on some secret mission. They act very mysterious and won't say much. We are told to fasten our safety belts and, before we know it, we're on the planet Mars. After leaving the rocket ship, the mechanics, Walter Barnhardt and Joe Rybiski, give the ship the once-over. We hail a marsmobile taxi and, with Clayton Brenner driving, we soon reach their town. Our guides in this strange town are Lois Reynolds and Marvin VanderKolk. We stop first at a restaurant and Nancy Pease, the waitress, serves us a meal no different than what we are used to back on earth. Vivian Coon doesn't mind doing dishes with a modern dishwasher. As we leave the restaurant, we buy a paper, the Mars-bars Daily, of which Betty Post is editor. The paper is interesting, and, by reading it, we learn of a forest fire which was soon stopped by the quick thinking of the ranger, Toady Merbs. We learn also of the progress the farmers are making. Dick Brown, John Miner, Lawrence Selby, and John Graczyk are the really big farmers who are doing agricultural wonders. Bob Riksen is the head of the one big business firm. He is lucky in having a pretty secretary named Lucy Fifelski and an efficient and friendly bookkeeper, Phyllis Snoeyink Walking past the county sheriff's office, we peek in the open door and see Glenn Jager leaning comfortably back in his chair. Continuing down the main street, we pass Bill Weick's Super Market. From across the street, Gene Stephans waves to us. With him are his wife and five little onesl We say hello to Reverend Robert Beck as he comes down the steps of the church. He stops and tells us the latest about the people of the town. We aren't surprised to hear about their basketball team with Don Doorlag as top player. Our guides tell us we simply must visit their hospital. The first people we meet are the nurse, Rose Kiel, and Doctor VanDerKo1k. As we come out of the hospital, we see a beautiful mansion in the distance. We learn that Dale Fleser has fulfilled his life's ambition and is already a retired millionaire It has been an exciting day. We decide a good way to end it will be by watching a good movie, produced by Mary McEwen, and starring Kathleen Weick, Shirley Baird, and that Gregory Peck type actor, Otto Beard. We decide Mars isn't bad, but back to earth in 1956 is where we really want to be.
