El- SUSURR0 where's Ruth Kuhn? She and Pugh were much of the same mind when it came to fighting. At least about pennants. Second Reporter: She's dead. First Reporter: What was the matter? Second Reporter: Oh she was too good to live long. First Reporter: I don't believe you. Second Reporter: Honest. She went mad in course of the search for Burbeck's pennant.

First Reporter: Well he's teaching Mathematics at the High School now and is quite harmless. Second Reporter: He hasn't sold his share in the Nason, Hilby, Spoon Factory has he? First Reporter: Nope.

They built a pier out from each side. with a gate in the middle. The fishermen drive the fish inside, shut the gate and catch at their leisure. They just had a drive and about a dozen whales, several sharks, and salmon and sardine galore are inside. Yes it is a fine scheme. What-yes, l'm glad to know it. So Miss White is Dean of the English Department at Vassar. Good bye. Second Reporter: That breakwater scheme was a great stunt, alright, and you say she said Miss White was at Vassar? Well! Well !
