SITTING in their cove away bock in the Broadbent hills we see two old hermits, Jerry Mattson and Fred Tams, tinkering with some sort of a contraption, which they hove invented. It is a mochirve thot will, through its video scope, take you through space ond time ond televise events that will happen in the future—if it works, that is. They hove it lust about perfected ond ore eogerly awaiting the moment they con try it out. Ah! Now they're reody! They have only to decide what subject they wont to televise. After much debate they decide to look in on their old classmates ond see whot each one is doing in the for off yeor of 1969, A. D. Now comes the test! As they breathlessly stare at the screen before their very eyes oppear two long shadows. As it becomes clearer they distinguish the figures of Doctor Arthur Bechtel ond his nurse, Bernice Couts. They are discussing their prospective inventions for the oncoming generations of a taller, more intelligent people. It seems they are devoting the rest of their lives to this new theory. Some difficulties have onsen os Barbara Montz seemingly is working against them for some mysterious reason. Hermit Jerry turns a dial and the scene changes. There on the screen ore Raymond Coin, Roy Vorn, ond Joe Evernden. Each one is sitting in a new model of a mmdmobile invented by Jock Ford. This is the latest invention of a mobile thot runs in the direction according to the direction their minds run —the keener the mind, the keener the mobile—there is just one difficulty with them—these boys keep winding up in some pool-hall. A twist of a dial ond there stands Mark Putnam, who is now a longhaired musician, ond his ever-copoble songstnst, Almedo Workman. They hove a universal orchestra on duty 24 hours a day all yeor around. Their music is so potent thot in order to hear it, no radio is necessory. Just dial your mind at ony time at any place ond you'll hear it. It's so strong you con almost smell it.. Being eager to tune in on more of their old friends, Fred dials ogoin ond, seeing smoke signals on the screen, he stops ond waits for the picture to clear up. Now he con make it out ond he sees thot it is Patty Bell, the world's renowned physical education professor. The puffs of smoke were caused by her students gospmg for breath after doing her new calisthetics. Prof. Bell has also developed a new system of rules for basketball ond football whereby no team ever loses. The dial is turned ogam ond there sit Robert Clinton ond Joe Horry. They are formers of leisure since their invention of the automatic milking machine which pipes milk directly from the cow into the house. All they have to do is turn on the faucet ond Jersey highballs pour forth. Another turn of the diol brings Scientist Betty Brooks before the screen. She is working on Experiment No. 2,927, which I if successful) will dispense with freckles and pug noses. The scene changes ogam and a law court is the subiect on the screen. There is Skip Ohlsen, attorney at law, who is still working on the cose of erasing all doubt as to Maureen Evan's guilt in the murder of Biorn Falknor. Skip is trying to get a verdict of “not guilty in everybody's minds ond it seems he will die trying. Again the scene changes to the bedside of Edward Gilkison. He finally worked up to be president of the United States but it took him so long and it was such hard work that he is now a total wreck ond he rooms with Thomas Dewey at the stote institution at Soelm, Oregon, under the core of Nurses Evelyn Obermon ond Pat Waterman. Another scene shows Professor Clarence Miller slaving ot his desk. He is now the head of our new modern educational system. His system is to teach nothing but football ond history, with emphasis on history, to which he is very devoted; I in foct, he took an extro course of it in High School). Again the scene changes. This time to the spacious living room of retired millionaire, Allon Halter. He made his fortune in inventing white blood so it wouldn't color your face when you blush. . . Allan is sitting by his television rodio seeing the news. A flash comes over it showing that handsome, irresist-able. Grant McClellan, receiving the Acodemy Award for the best actor. He has won this award for 15 years straight. Thot is because oil the other actors are so discouroged, they have given up trying. He won this lost award for his magnificent portroyal of that World Champion, oll-around athlete. Tinker Hatfield, in the movie The Tinker Hatfield Story. Again the hermits turn o diol and this time we see nothing but snow. Then a dog team pulling a girl on a sleigh comes into sight. Yes, Leora Ames has finally mode it to Alasko. She has worked to the esteemed position of Queen of the Eskimos. Again the scene changes ond we see Marguerite • Lakey) Morris is busy raising little Sofeway butchers. On down the street we see Bill Lewellen, who is co-partner with Louie Lewellen in the Bill-Wil-liam-Louie-ond-Lewellen flower industry for raising bigger and stronger smelling Sweet Williams. Again the diol is turned ond we see the inside of a church. There stonds Morvene Christensen in a wedding veil. She is obout reody to settle down now that almost all of the other girls' boy friends are morried off. The scene changes and they see Barbara Clorno, an efficient milk maid on her way to the barn to milk the cows. Her unfortunate husband has an all year-around cose of spring fever so she has to run their form to support him. Another scene shows the home of that brilliant inventor. Dole Manning. He invented an everlasting match so os to cut down no smoking expenses. A few miles away life Myrno iWinningham) and Earl Wotermon. They haven't invented anything, really, but they have doubled the population of Bridge, Oregon. The scene ogoin changes ond we see Donna Krew-son riding down to see the lorge Dude Ronch she just bought. It is located |ust beyond Toble Rock ot Bondon. She doesn't know it yet, but the only kind of horses raised there are sea-horses. The deol was made through the Fred Zeigler and Harold Evernden reol estate office, which is now being used by Betty Hutchinson who bought through their office the piece of property odjommg Donna's, under the assumption thot it was valuable cron-berry land. She later learned thot the fish eat what cranberry plants the sea weed doesn't choke out. Now the scene changes to the road to McKinley. There we see Chuck Mortensen ond Jim Churchill, rood engineers, busily working on that road. They ore plonning to fix it so their children con't ever get to school ot Myrtle Point. None of thot every-other-day stuff for them! Agom the scene changes, this time to a bank owned by Geraldine Huntley. She got tired of work-(Continued On Lost Poge
