1942 THE PACEMAKER I see a very large and expensive hotel by a deep blue sea. Yes, it is on the Riviera. There are many wealthy people there, spending much money and enjoying themselves. Now a Rolls Royce convertible comes into view. A man steps out and hands a generous tip to the chauffeur. Why, is this possible? What is Bill Cross doing there where so much money is being spent? I understand that by Writing in 25 words or less on why he liked Ivory Soap, he won a large sum of money and is now actually spending it. I see a pleasant home. If is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Dudley. I look in on the peaceful family. I can't help marveling at his change in attitude. Instead of the Julius we knew him to be in his school days, he is now a meek husband. The expression he most commonly uses is, Yes, my dear, I agree with you. You are perfectly right. Now I see the United States Patent Office. As I look in on it, I see a patent is being given to one of America's most learned men. Harrison Galloway's name is now coupled with Thomas Edison's in the Hall of Fame. His most recent gift to mankind is a popcorn juicer. -By Carolyn Fischer.

THE PACEMAKER 1942 Look ! The streets of New York in the heart of Broadway. A sign over the doorway reads, A theater of clearer pictures, better vision, easy on the eyes, Sally Rand a special attraction . Who other than Donald Carlson could be its owner and manager ! But here is a bookstore. All the customers are asking for one book. It is a new book, the first published by the author, but it is a big success, and I am sure Lorraine Pope will win the distinguished honor of being the author of the Pulitzer Prize Novel of American Life in a small town. What is this I see? A dinner table all set for dinner. Let's see, there are six places set. Yes, Eleanor and Tony have finally settled down and are very happy with their four children. I see the center of our nation's government-Washington. There is a pompous looking man behind a desk on which is a microphone. I hear the Words, My friends. The man looks familiar. Greetings, President Richard Mead. But what is this I see? It is Chautauqua. The busy season is nearly over and the summer resort is crowded with people who have come to see the climax of the season. The amphitheater is overflowing. All have come to hear the concert given by the famous trio, Beverly, Gail and Mar- garet, who have superseded Amos and Andy on the radio and are heard every night at 7 o'clock on the N.B.C. network. A large barn is now the scene of much merriment. Many young people, and older ones, too, are pirouetting to the strains of Turkey in the Straw and Pop Goes the Weasel . This draws my attention to the musician of the evening. Yes, Allan Smith has given up farming and is now the chief fiddler for the Barn Dance every Saturday night in Louisville, Ky. A stranger sight than this I haven't seen in this country. It is a school- house to be sure, and an American school, but in one classroom all the students are sitting with their backs to the teacher. Now I see the school- master, Bob Johnson. Enough said. Now a radio station comes into view. The program being broadcast is a quiz program, the star of which is Bob Hodges, who so developed his brilliant mind by asking so many questions in his youth that now he knows all the answers. He has just defined a hemidemisenmiquaver. Now I see a nursery school. Little girls and boys are running to and fro and playing with dolls and electric trains. Many are clustered about a motherly-looking woman who seems to be their favorite. Betty Yuncker, who everyone thought was interested only in Joe, has not lost her way with children. I see many students in a classroom. They are listening to a competent teacher give an explanation of the Binomial Theorem. But is this possible? The efficient teacher is no other than Eunice Holcomb, whose favorite ex- pression throughout four years of high school was, I hate school . A very busy office is now seen. Of all the offices in the city, it is by far the most rushed. The sign over the building reads, Baker Matri- monial Bureau, Inc. How wonderful it is that our Betty Baker is pro viding the answers to so many maidens' prayers, although she hasn't found an answer to her own.
