Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. This is Mabel Meater with your daily doings and undoing of the most popular and unpopular social butterflies. The most astounding news to reach this reporter during the last twenty-four hours was the announcement that Calvin Brick- house has been elected President of the New England College for Young Women. I understand that he is being ably assisted by Nathaniel Stanley, who is instructor in art and dress design¬ ing. Rumor has it that Franklin Smith, who was so shy back in ' 51 is the greatest playboy of the season in New York where he is chief singer of the Sweet Blues Night Club in Harlem. I understand that Mr. Smith has to hire special police to keep the ladies away, especially those to whom he had promised mink coats. Deloris Davis, who showed such promise as a mathematician in the old days is spending most of her time tryii to teach her twins, Frankie and Connie to count to twenty. It seems rather touching that at seven years of age they can only count as far as ten. The former Miss Davis is now Mrs. Charles Bibbins. I am sorry to report that Mr. Bibbins, who is a barber is just recovering from a nervous condition. It seems that last Monday his straight razor caught in one of his customer ' s nose. To date Mr. Bibbins has been unable to find anyone who is willing to sell him a nose. Incidentally, Mr. Bibbins ' assistants are Miss Geraldine Mason and Miss Amanda Nottingham. A recent issue of Cure or Kill Magazine carried an article on a new drug to cure Barbers ' Itch , it seems that a large number of Misses Not¬ tingham and Mason ' s customers suffer from the disease. Dr. Norman Poole, the research chemist, has been forced to move from his lovely home on Stinkeroo Drive. This reporter has been told that Dr. Poole ' s neighbors compalined that they couldn ' t eat because of the terrible odors coming from Dr. Poole ' s chemical labora¬ tory. Mrs. Poole, the former Miss Mary Smith, operates a Lunchroom. She specializes in Egyptian food and invites all of my listeners to come in whenever they are hung ry. One of our feature reporters, Elmer Ames, who reports on all West Coast doings, has just reported that Lucille Spady, head of the Lone Ling Insane Asylum, is going out of busi¬ ness. It seems that all of her patients are getting crazier than they were when they went to the institution. Carl Adair, who is the veterinarian in Boston, Mass, was called to a sick cow. Instead he went to see Mrs. Ruth Stevens who had a cold. Mrs. Stevens is the wife of Clifton Stevens and was formerly Miss Ruth Hallet. She has only 10 children at the present, but they seem very happy in their three room apartment. Who would have thought that Cullen Allen would be the owner of a factory that makes nylon tooth picks? He has made enough money to hire Miss Joyce Harvey as stenographer. However, Mr. Allen complains that Miss Harvey spends most of the time sitting at her desk reading the most romantic books that she can find; she must be eating her heart out, wonder¬ ing what happened to that Russian Prince that she was supposed to marry last year. My ad¬ vice to her is to accept Mr. Allen, even if he is nearly bald on top and is also minus three front teeth. What do you think Rebecca Downing is doing these days??? She, who once aspired to be an English Teacher, is now singing opera in the Monotone Music Hall in Lynchem, Georgia. I wonder if she ever remembers her yearningfor Shakespeare way back in ' 51. Her accompan¬ ist is none other than Lafayette Ponce De Leon Holley who studied piano for six weeks under Prof. H. M. Offkey in Korea. We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin. Helen Blank, Coleman Wil¬ son, Vivian Chapman, Clifton Watts and Wilsie Waters sailed on the steamship Civilization this morning. They are going to Africa as missionaries to Christianize the natives there. The minister is Rev. Coleman Wilson, D. D. and the choir will be directed by Miss Helen Bland, Mrs. Vivian Chapman Scott will be pianist. Friends and former classmates will be glad to hear that George Watson and Leona James received their B. S. degrees in Math last year. Mr. Watson received an award for excellence in Math. He and Miss James, who is now Mrs. Watson, are on the faculty of the recently established Criss-cross Co-ed College that is directed by Robert Baily. Clifton Sample is the Dean of Women, which reminds me of a report that came in yesterday morning. It stated that Conoway Sample and James Johnson have recently opened a nursery school for girls between the ages of four and nine. The girls will be taught sewing and cooking. My, how advanced children are these days I We are announcing that Middle Meat High School has organized an all star Football Team. Catherine Johnson is the Captain of the Team, playing Halfback is Margarite Smith. Other members of the team are Elizabeth Savage, Dorothy Stratton, Cleo Finney, Deloris Rogers, Rosa Connor, Bessie Gunter and Bernice Jones. This Team has brought victory to its school and has won every game for the past four years. What a Football Team! We pause here for station identification. For the tastiest dish that you have ever eaten, call for Collins ' Tomatoe crab stew. This, delicious food is prepared by the Collins Company, owned and opereated by none other than Clinton and Robert Collins, and sold at the low price of two cans of 17 .
