Shoppe is an excellent example of the latest improvements in interior decorations for salons. Its bookkeeper and stenographer, Evelyn Angle, is an efficient and able assistant. 1 he Beauty Salon conducted by Ivina Early and Lois Richmond recently won the National Award for the best coiffure created during the current year. I he combination Real Estate and Secretarial Agency founded by Grace Kenney and Blanche Kedigh is a huge success, and is now considering expanding into the entire fourth floor of the I). Callentine Building on the corner of Third and Broadway. Anderson s I ire Shop and Automobile Agency has gained practically a monopoly on the automobile industry in Marvel City. The Modern Grocery of Bower and Stocker is justly famous for its Saturday Sales, and is doing a thriving business not only with the townsmen but also with all the country buyers. Of course, much of the success gained by this grocery is due to the invaluable assistance rendered to Harry by his wife, the former Isobel Early. The Motion 1 icture Company under the administration of Clarence Ortt has managed for several consecutive years to produce the best picture of the year. 1 he Athletic Gymnasium ol Smith and Riggs is now conducting a special reducing program which might be of interest to some of my audience. The special reducing machine invented by Miller and Norman is being used during the series. 1 he Sanitary Bakery, conducted by Mrs. Hostetler, nee Marie Cunningham, is noted for the quality if its baked goods. Wilma Phillips is the chief baker, and has created some gorgeous cakes, among them being the one for the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Donald 1 roendly. Mrs. Troendly is the former Evelyn Treasure. ()ne of the outstanding achievements of Marvel City is its wonderful hospital. Among the nurses here are Betty King, Thelma Craigo, and Thelma Bennett. One of the most distinguished surgeons in the country. Miss Ruby Hunt, also is on the Medical Staff of our hospital. The position of Chairman of the hospital board is filled very efficiently by Edna Grosenbacher. The dietetic staff of the hospital is in charge of the famous dietician. Miss Therese Gombar. Another of the greatest achievements in Marvel City is our large airport, covering 500 acres, and containing the largest hangar in the world. Rodney Eagou and Woodrow Dawson have done excellent service in applving their abilities to the furthering of airplane designs for the construction of planes to be used in our airport. Matthew , cott for the past year has kept Marvel City planes in living condition. He is one of the best airplane mechanics in the country. The special commission for the furthering of the interest in art and music has been in charge of Miss Bessie Cunningham for the past three months, and lias already shown a marked advance by gaining the interest of the public. Miss Cunningham, as you undoubtedly know, is the painter who astonished Europe by her sketches of folk life in the Balkans. My time is nearly up. but I must say a few words about the agricultural and rural progress in our community. The city has sponsored a modern vegetable farm, a poultry farm, and a dairy farm, for the purpose of supplying the city with sanitary products raised under the best conditions possible. The results have more than justified the investment. The poultry farm, in charge of Evelyn Taylor and Aileen Murphy, is one of the largest and best-conducted in the state. The dairy farm, which is managed by Vernon Dreher and his wife, Corle. is the scene of much of the community's merry-making, being an excellent picnic site. The vegetable farm, under the modern methods applied by Virgil Hogue, has reached new heights in productivity, by the use of his new formula for stimulating the growth of plants. Just a few words about our fashion expert, Velma Hinds, and civic sports manager, Russell Couts. No resume of city officials would be complete without them. Their efforts have been amply rewarded by the advancement in their field. And now, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Marvel City. I wish to invite you to come to visit our city at any time. It is located on the banks of the Tuscarawas River, not far from Browning's Ford, and can be reached by automobile. boat, or airplane. The city will be greatly honored if the next National Municipal Convention should he held there. I thank you ( 19 )

Address to National Municipal Convention, Chicago, 1950 by Grace Lyons, Chairman of Marvel City Delegation Ladies and Gentlemen: As chairman of the Marvel City Delegation, it is a great pleasure for me to address you here this evening. It is of the greatest importance to our project that out model city be understood through out the world. The interests of mankind are deeply involved. A model city will be of the most widespread interest to all men. 1 must make my address this evening as brief as possible because of the short time given me. I wall therefore sketch hastily a resume of the city’s departments and the persons at the head of such departments. A model city such as we are involved in experimenting with must be as nearly as possible a perfect governmental agent. Therefore it is most important that each division of the municipal government be headed by the most reliable and experienced person available. This the citizens of Marvel City have endeavored to make a fact by their choice of municipal officers. First, 1 will speak of the executive division of the city's government. The Mayor, Mr. Paul Hammersly, is a man of high ideals and worthy actions, and by his non-partisan administration of this office has gained the whole-hearted support of each and every citizen. ()ne of his out-standing achievements was the elimination of graft in the awarding of city contracts. The Chief of Police, Carl Phillips, has worked with such efficient zeal with his force to abolish crime, that the District Attorney, Wayne Mizer, has nothing at all to do. Wayne is now thinking of starting a club for the promotion of astronomy as a means of strengthening eyesight. The Court Reporter, ()live Toney, has so much free time from court duties that she has started writing a book on “Why Crime Does Xot Pay”. The Marvel City Council is one of the city's most interesting departments. It is singularly free from political corruption, working on the basis of community good and municipal welfare. Its members arc: Stanley Schworm, Wayne Renard, Carl Lenzo, Chester Booth, and Miss Johnnie Mae Driver. The greatest work of the Marvel City Council was the building of the amusement park. This keeps the citizens in Marvel City on holidays when they desire a picnic or swimming party, and also brings much out-of-town trade to the park. The park has come to be an important source of revenue for the city. The Amusement Commission, directed bv Henrietta Hill am] Frances Milligan, has charge of the park. The Commission is adept in its line, and has staged some unique and interesting performances at the park. Perhaps the most amusing of these was the Vegetable Ball. Each person attending was disguised as a garden vegetable, and the best costume received as a prize, a bushel of the kind of vegetable lie represented. The Postal Commissioner. Nick Knezevich, has cooperated with the Amusement Commission by aiding the advertising committee. Nick recently received national mention in the Senate Weekly• for his work in the Postal Department. The Marvel City Schools are already recognized as the best in the state. Among the teachers in this school system are the following: Russell Marquand, Alma Thompson. Helen Schumacher. Rachel Lease, and the High School Principal. Maurice Wolfe. The schools are advancing steadily in their work, and each year marks new additions to the school curriculum. Marvel City is exceedingly proud of its banking system. Three banks are conducted: The Farmer’s National Bank, The Municipal Bank, and The Industrial Trust Bank. These banks are organized under a municipal order, and are directly controlled by the Exchange Board. The system has been chartered by the Federal Government, and is under the protection of the Federal Reserve Commission. The president of the Marvel City Exchange Board is John Fletcher. He is advised by the members of the Council. The business district is very important to the financial advancement of the City. It is directly governed by the city’s Commission of Trade, and has shown immense improvement over the old haphazard system of individual management. The shops are up-to-date and modern in every detail. Tl e Rogers-Neal Dress ( 18 )
