Prophecy ’46 (TV» 5 I think that I shall never see a class more versatile than we. We're scat- tered now, since '46; into the walks of life we've mixed. Let's take a trip, all of us, with Henry on his bicycle-bus. He's very generous—says he'll foot the bill, for our excursion through Maltsbergerville. The founder and mayor of this town is Jack, and he's really keen; and as we expected back in '46, he married his girl friend, Jean. We start on our journey minus worry or care, but soon we discover the tires need air. We stop at a station—the best the town's got, and who should be owner— none other than Dean Scott. We chat for a while, as old friends will, when out comes Vi Dailey to collect the bill. Well, what do you know? Does she work here too? I heard she was bookkeeper at the town zoo. We're off like the wind, down Shewmaker Street, named for the man whose shop can't be beat. His assistant and wife makes shoemaking fun; she's still that blonde bombshell, Ev Reddeman. We have our shoes fixed, then start out the shop, but what we see next door makes our eyes pop! A beauty parlor run by Melvin Andrews; let's take a run in and learn some more news. He's owner and manager of this fine place; he fixes your hair and uplifts your face. His able assistants are the Sahlbom twins, who have the good job of picking up pins. While we're standing there chatting, the door opens wide, and the world's richest woman steps inside. Naomi Lyman is her name, by painting she has gained her fame. Her confidential secretary, who made her someone, ac- companies her in—it's Mabel Gustafson. Nan hasn't forgotten us, she bids us hello, even gives us free tickets to a world famous show. It's playing in town this very night; just look at the billing, can this be right? Miss Jackie Bushong, well-known opera star (Scott is really her name, but you know how actresses are.) Pat Davidson will accompany her,- she likewise has won fame and Pat will play a solo in the boogie woogie vein. Promising to go and saying good-bye to all, we leave the beauty parlor as we hear our chauffeur call. We hop in the bus and go down the avenue. We see over on the side- walk a streak of Navy blue. It's three eager sailors, really on the go, on their way to join the fun at Dana's U. S. O. So that's what Barbara's doing now? Will she ever learn? Look, one of those gobs is John Cockburnl His two companions, always with him without fail, are Paul Parkins and that beloved Dayle. Henry slams on the brakes and we stop for a chat; they tell us they're wealthy, and sailors at thatl Oh, they're waiting for a discharge, and we soon learn, that Paul is the owner of a large concern, a factory with parts in array, for that famous car—the Chevrolet. John has a bank and a cold storage too; both professions he really knew! Dayle is the owner of that famous chain—Langdon's Drug Stores is the name.
