While I was in Lordstown, I paid a socialfcall on the Coreys. Hrs. Corey, ,formally Betty Harris, was doing her K dailey-washing, and was out in the lawn hlD8iU8 UP lQHlT'9f of material, they werenPt linen napkins eithar, 'ith-th' name nJ0hnnyW embroidered in one of the corners of each P. square. She was surprised to see me, and as ws talked over old times she told me that she finally got the man she wantf. ed, .nJohn . I asked her when ther: had exchanged vows, for I, haanw heard anvthinsz about it, this was all DSW' to U9-s .J t e She told me it was the day after 7-518 psrcolater plant of the Corey Co. blew up. 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. James is Brawdy Lingo, Esquire, with his feet on the desk and'sur- rounded by 15 girls, the most gorgeous secretaries that ever 9 applied forte job. 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

-, 14,1 , ' f N ,f s is J gt? I J i I C Prophecy - cont.I tion of death defying feats. Such thrills and chills that you've never seen before. Spins, rolls, skids, anything to make your .hair stand on end, and all of them mastered by Chiller himself. One act in particular that I shall always remember is the one performed with a stripped down motorqple This act starts high above the stadium on a narrow ramp. Chiller guns the motor until it is full speed. Then down he comes crashing through a hoop of flame and when he is BO feet above the surface of the track, the ramp ends, with both Chiller and his cycle parachuting to safety. After the show while Jim and I were touring the plant I told him that the top of my convertible had a rip in it, but I didn't tell him how it happeded, because it was also slightly banged up due to the 'accident with Jack. I wasn't hinting of course, but by luck our next stop was at the end of the assembly line where the completed project was checked for the last time. It was here that I had the chance to pick the car of my desire. Yes, you've guessed it, a 1960 Lincoln Club Coupe' convertible with all the accessories, lights, horns, radio, everything. After thanking him for the car,-and bidding him good-bye I started off for my home, in sunny California. Well, home at last, but much to my surprise there was no food in the house, and being hungry I had to go to town, to replenish the supply. On the way back from town I stopped at the dog kennel -pick up my St. Bernard that I placed there before I left r New York, and then went onto Bailey's Fruit Market, Joel Bailey, Prop. Joel was out supervising a spraying job when I got there, so Rex Cmy dogj and I got into a jeep that was parked by the house and drove through the orchards.until we found him. While Joel was telling me how he had gotten into the fruit business, and of his large shipments to the East, Rex had been snooping around and found a puddle of spray dope at the end of the abonded nozzle and drank part of it. He ran around in circles,jumped arn barked like he was going crazy. Joel said we would have to get a veterinarian,so as I grabbed Rex and dragged him to the jeep, which Joel had al- ready turned around by this time. Off we started. Such a ride over ditches and between trees withdlow hanging branch- es. I didn't know if we would make it or not. At last we skidded to a stop and I ran to the phone. I didn't know any vets., so I called the first name in the yellow section of the phone book. R.E. Chalker, Vet., dial Hillside A081-8. I told Dr. Chalker what my trouble was and 119 fo is n ,Y I J jr Q, lei - so - QX xi? N I H HLIIBH li-.J
