Looking out into space we see the J. A. A. and M. Sky Rocket. As it lands June Forest, Ann Freeman, Anita Patton and Mary Dletzel, lst, 2nd, 3rd, and hth vice presidents of the nwhereditgon Finance Company, alite. This company makes loans to ex-husbands for alimony payments. Moving on we find two former classmates, who are discussing the present-day food situation. They are Dorothy Neibarger, a noted di- etician, whose slogan is uThe way to a man's heart is by dietingu, and Mary Alice Locker, a well-known Home Economics instructor, who is now teaching her students how to keep the holes in donuts from looking so empty. From across the grounds we hear the season's latest hit nWhen the Sun Shines, There's NotFog In My Eyes, But Youn, written by that un- canny composer, Eddie O'Bryan, from Tin Pan Alley. And there is Eddie himself conversing with two of the foremost authors of the present day--Carolyn Weeks, whose latest publication is HA Friend of the Familyu, highly recommended as advice to the lovelorn, and Mary Jo Orndorff, who has written the most recent best seller, nHow to Chew More And Bigger Wads of Gumu. This book is a scientific treatise which required four years in the writing. Cruising in now, we spy the special, elite, deluxe, air cruiser, designed, patented, and piloted by Lee Ashbrook. Its owner is none other than Madam Mary Elizabeth Dietrich, foremest designer of dogs' clothing. She announces that she will enter the field of designing for men's and women's clothing at the next sun-length and predists dmt her styles will set the pace for all. And over ln the corner all by himself is Robert xl am and forever shall be a bachelorJPitt. He is living in his dark and dismal mansion on the most distant satalite of Pluto. And coming over to try to make conversation with Bob is Beverly Bauchert. Bev, as you recall, has that ngift of gabn and has become known to us as the second Luella Parsons. Still on the subject of gabby people,this group here looks like-- why, yes, it is nThe Windy Liars Club.n And it sounds like they're in session right now. There's the President,Dav1d Skeens talking to Miss Mary Lou McCullough, last year's prize winner for telling the biggest whopper. With them is John Elbon, past president of the club and pre- sent interplanet president of the club. This club, as we understand it, has the largest membership of al existing clubs in the interplanet scope. And there is Doyle Melick. He now lives in a trailer on the new planet, Ausphelia, which he recently discovered. His new trailer home is robot controlled and he travels from one planet to another by push- ing a button. Doyle is talking with Dorothy Hopkins and her brother, Howard Hopkins. Dorothy is a talented designer, who is best-known for her 'Swoop-the-Droopnnecklines, and uswitch-the-Hitchn skirts. Howard ls the president of the Interplanatary HI Get My Crops In Firstn Society. OUCHI What hit me? Oh, now I know. Tom L. Johnson on the loose again and at his age, playing with spit-ball guns. And right there with him is Harold Romine, the inventor of the spit-ball gun and also the burp gun. Incidentally, Tom is a noted surgeon at the Radie Bom Sanitarium on duck Creek at Sunny Slope. Over here on the left is Monroe Wright, owner of the Speedway Run and talking to him is Eddie Dietrich, who just yesterday set the new record for an auto speed, when he went down the Run at 1200 miles an hour. You know how Eddie used to make everyone eat his dust back there in his high school days. Well, it seems like he's still doing it. Buzzing in now we see Dale Ashbrook in his supersonic racer....He is returning from taking Harry KEinsteinJ Kincaid on a scientific ex- pedition into outer space, I7
