As my hand was aching from the blow, and. nqlteeth were chattering from the cold, I happened to glance up, when out of the dark of the night a light appeared.. like the heavenly light that shone so many years ago. This light, like the other, had a beauti- ful radiant red glow, only it flashed on-off proclaiming to the world its worth to humanity. It kept repeating NDotW, WDot Spotn. I climbed into my WHot Roda and off we started. I couldn't go very fast. because of the ton being still uv. It wouldn't have made much difference if it had ripped off, as it wasn't doing me much good. I would have been more com- fortable walking than riding in those conditions,but finally I pulled in to this place called 'Dot Spotn to get a cup of coffee. I walked up to the counter, and who should I see but Dorothy Bright. I asked her what she was doing there and she told me that when Howard Johnson was on his death bed, he had no one to will his business to, so they brought him a telephone book and he pointed to my name, and that is how it came about. I told her my trouble and she sent Joe, a neighboring mechanic out to fix it while I had my pie and coffee. I told her what Phyllis, Jack and I were planning to do, and asked her if she knew where any of the other class members were. She told me she knew that Jim Lingo was President of the Lincoln-Mercury Plant in St. Louis. SotI decided to look him up and I toId her I would report her good fortune to the other members of the class as I traveled a1ong,and hoped she would remain successful in her business. Back on the road again, I turned on the radio to see if I could get some music, when booming through the radio came the announcers voice, Cleveland L, Phil. 7 with 3 on, and Fisher for the Indians at bat. Here is the wind up, and the pitch, Strike! Fisher had 2 strikes followed by 3 balls. The count was 3 and 2, with the bases still loaded in the last half of the ninth. Here comes a drop, crack! There it goes down the third base line, it's going, it's going, it's gone. Just a moment folks, we'll have to call that play back. The ball was foul by inches. Fisher is now trotting in from second and the other base runners are going back to their bases. Again another drop comes in to Fisher, Call strike No. 3, and Cleveland loses A to 7 to Phil. for the first defeat in 57 games. Hearing the results of the game I knew that Don had become successful, not because he lost the game, but because he was pitching for Cleveland. av. .L .mafsffn a 'H.IIiHLlH 5 li.-f fv f Q 'ax Q 'N gy yt ,I u 7 if

While I was in Lordstown, I paid a socialfcall on the Coreys. Hrs.

I was still -looking for Fat Lingo, and knew my next 'J stop would be the Lincoln Hercury Plant in St. Louis. As I -passed the gate I was instructed to the location of the Pre- , sident's office. In front of his office was a pair of high . ly polished men's shoes, and 15 :pairs of dainty women's shoes. This surprised me, but not half as much the sign on the door 3 which read, 'Please remove shoes before enteringn. Doing as 'E' the sign instructed, I added mn' I a 'te 35 the sign instructed, I added mine to the collection.' liped 55 off the bottom of my socks and opened the door. Ther before ' I me was what I have only seen in a dream-a white shagurug, A 2 inches thick that tickled your feet when you walked--a radio, victrola, television combination set--a beautiful cellarette filled with only the cnoicest of wines and bever-,1 e ages. Modern furniture and push buttons were every P1009 NUR l looked. In the center of this 7th heaven was lr.

Each one had her own particular job like filling his mpty glass, fanning him, and even holding the lightafor his imported cigars. As the smoke drifted away he noticed me at the threshold standing ankle deep in the rug. As I entered his palace, he commanded his Ndollsn to leave. They all bowed, kissed his feet, and said Yes, Sir Jamesn, and started to leave. Realizing fthe loss of'the scenic beauty I requested that they stay, and my wish was granted with the girls going through the same ritual. One of them turned on the television set to Chicago, where WChillern Cross and his dare devils were giving an exhibi- an u.ss.Ci'L X . !.gLn nL1nH sb f
