Prophecy TEN YEARS LATER I-Iello there, everybody! This is your radio columnist, Lotsa Chatter, broadcasting from Station LSHS in the Daily Star news- paper building. As usual, I'm bringing you news about the people who make the news. Guess who I burnped into this morning! Nobody but Deloris Layton lnow Deloris Grandgenettj leading her pet poodle, Curly, on a leash. She has just returned from a vacation in France: you should see her beautiful tan. Dorty has made her home town proud of her by becoming a famous movie star. Certainly the sport of boxing should not be abolished for those who desire to make a living getting their brains scrambled. I dropped in at the hospital last Sunday to see Dwight Alton, one of Iowa's top boxers, whose latest bout had landed him-ecompletely K O'ed--in the laps of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Nuzum. QThe Nuzums were watching their old classmate perform while visiting in townl. Their home is in California, where Kenneth owns five thousand acres of land and Iris Knee Pippittl has the reputation of being a wonderful hostess. OI Just as Iwas leaving, Dwight's nurse entered the room. Smil- ing as usual, there stood Margaret O'Day, R. N. She informed me that she had left a big Chicago hospital to pursue her nursing career right here in Sioux. I wonder if her fiance will persuade her to have a June wedding? She must prefer the smell of disinfectant to the scent of orange blossoms. By the way, I dropped in at the art gallery last week to see the latest exhibits of the famous art protege, Willie Ruth Ramsey. Willie herself was there, and we got into quite an animated conversation. I discovered that the artist in question has two great aspirations: she is as much interested in home and family as she is in art, and she's simply sighing for a glimpse of her favorite painting, the Mona Lisa. Incidently, my favorite magazine arrived the other day, and on page eighteen was one of those Toni ads--featuring Gladys and Gladeth Ruffcorn, the current Toni twins. They're both happily married and possess large duplicate wardrobes which they use for their twin jobs. fIt's quite a coincidence that Gladeth has twin daughters--as does Gladysll 15

I saw Robert McCracken, the famous architect, hard at work UQ on the vacant block which is being converted into a recreation center. Bob says it will be completed next year in 1961. He is still single but it's a wonder. He has several girl friends who are trying to lead him from the path of bachelorhood. But it looks as if the high school romance might live, after all. Helen Conyers, who showed so much promise as a prima donna was recently married and now resides in Omaha. I visited her not long ago and found her very happy--not at all regretting having sacrificed a promising career as a singer to devote herself to her home and family. Donald Grandgenett has surprised no one by becoming a big league baseball player. They say he can really pitch fa, baseballs, and lb, w-o-o. Ruznor has it that Hollywood is thinking about mak- ing a movie of his life story. lf they decide to do it, I hope they come here on location. I'm sure Donnie wouldn't object to having a leading lady in the vicinity! Lorraine Headley has been chosen as the Lorraine in the song that goes: When I'm with my sweet Lorraine... She arrived at the airport last night, and today the contest sponsors are photograph- ing her in her native habitat--Little Sioux--along with the writers of the song, Lorraine, She's going to be busy tomorrow autograph- ing records of the song that bears her name. Tune in to NBC any Saturday night at eight o'clock and you'll hear Patricia Harl sing on the Hit Parade show. flncidentally, her hand- some spouse is the announcer on the programj. Pat appeared as the guest star of the most popular television show, the other night. She accompanied herself on a grand piano while she sang. Pat now lives in luxury in Beverly Hills. Don't let Jack Litt1e's gentle smile fool youg he's really a dare- devil at heart. He's been nicknamed The Man With Nine Lives because of his experience as a ski jurnper, a high diver, a death dodger, a tra- peze artist, an Antarctic explorer, a Hollywood stunt man, a tight-rope walker, and a deep-sea diver. lThat's only eight--Jack must have one life leftj. His wife, called Poppy because of her red hair, has just launch ed him on a really dangerous pastime--knitting. By the studio clock, I see that I have only ten seconds to go, so-- goodbye until next year. This is station LSHS signing off. 16
