ashington, June 25, 1960-------—The phone rang and my latest as- signment for SNAP magazine was a visit to ny home town, Idatti- tuck, which had just been named a typical American city. Dur- ing the fifteen years since I graduated from M.K.S., Mattituck had grown from a friendly village to a fair and bustling metropolis. As I stepped from the plane, I was welcomed by Mayor Joseph Zuhoski, whose sweeping reforms had been mainly responsible for the cityfc unprecedented prosperity, and by Lois Tuthill, the leading socialite. On the way to the mayor's office in the new Municipal Building on Love Lane, we passed Field-Fair Girls College, so ably administered by President Anno Hallock and Dean Arlene Armbrust. We were waylaid just before the mayor s office by a crowd assembled outside the DAILY FLASH Building. The crowd was exoitedly reading on the bulletin board a state- ment by Editor Ruth Fahy concerning the To-be-or-not-to-be Bill proposed by Sena- tor Robert Woodward. Insido the Municipal Building, I met Jean Comiskey, secretary to the mayor, and Police Conzissioner Edward Hannabury. I learned from P. C. Hanna- bury how Mattituck had kept its good record of healthy, youthful activities through the efforts of Jane Worthington and her Minute-Women Welfare Committee and because of a stream-lined gymnasium, supervised by the former athletic stars, Henry Demchuk and Auggie Stovall. I had lunch at my old hang-out, the Paradise, now La Paridisio and very capa- bly managed by Dottie Lenceski. At the next table were those famous comediennes, Titter fc Tatter , Alice Doroski and Helen Macwieczyk. The itinerary for the afternoon included a visit to the Cure-All Hospital where I was greeted at the Visitors' Desk by Marilyn Jones who took me to Head Nurse Florence Blasko. Through Head Nurse Elasko, I gained admittance to the laboratories where Dr. Stanley Kujawski and his assistants, Betty Jane Albin and Ann Bond, were perfecting their latest discovery, The Flight of the Bumble-Bee . My next stop was at The Translucid and Transparent Engineering Corporation of Browne and Ficner. For the record, this noble corporation had rebuilt my home town. Marion Jones, the private secretary, informed me that the chief engineers were in a huddle—or rather a serious and somber conference—and under no circumstances could or would be disturbed. I left and wound my way to the docks to meet Antone Doroski, owner of the River-Valley Ferrying Company . I stopped to see John Zuhoski who was having his starred cattle scientifically tested by the local vet, Dallas Tuthill. In the evening X went with Colonel Jack Garelle of the Air Force to the Swank Club, owned by Alice Reed and decorated by Helen Zuhoski. We had a gay evening to the music of Duff Yetter's swing band and his stunning vocalist, Mary McBride. °The floor show was sensational wit): the chorus.led by Bert Zimnoski, in costumes designed by Caroline Haupt. It was hard to hop my plane for Washington, but it was also grand to witness the old and the new in my home town to which I shall return often.
