Lois had to import Rosemary back from Paris and pay her a fancy price in order to make her stay. But it is worth it, she says as she displays her gold embroidered cowboy boots. We would like to stay longer with Lois on her ranch, but we must be on our way. As we pull back on to the highway, we notice a red glow on the horizon. Our guide tells us that this is from the Brant Die Tool Foundry. We are escorted into Mr. Brant's office. When Arch arrives, he cancels all of his appointments for the day in order to show us around the plant. Arch tells us that his wife buys all her furs from Jim Allen, the Mathematical Mind Murdering Fur Trapper. He explains to us that when he gives the mink a math problem, they kill themselves trying to figure it out. Just then Jim comes in bearing a new fur coat. He tells us that this one was caught on Einstein's theory of relativity. Jim is all flustered about the testing operation going on near by. We go to investigate and at the testing grounds we see Mable Hunter being fastened into her new plane, the Space Hunter. At her side is the designer of the plane, Janell Fuelling. Janell has designed several other planes and hopes that this one may fly. We nervously make our exit from the testing grounds and stop at a little diner where we have the good fortune to meet Glen Berg- haus, the United States Secretary of Agriculture. Glen seems tired and tells us the reason for this is that the farm supply mono- poly held by Jack Gregory is keeping him awake at night. It seems that Jack is crowding the market with a revolutionary new harvest- ing machine which was designed by Henry Pool. The machine goes by the trade name of The Lazy Farmer. It all started when Henry designed a robot to run his combine while he watched the Children's Hour. Now the farmers won't buy any other machines and Jack holds the monopoly. Whether this fancy is true or not, perhaps we shall see at our first reunion on December 30, 1960, at the Meredosia-Chambers burg High School.
