Cfddal 667 I WAS WORRIED. It was the night before the Annual went to press and I had not a line of the Class Prophecy written. I was interrupted just as I sat down after dinner to write, by my mother bringing in a package for me, which had just arrived. Forthwith I opened the package and found a machine similar to a radio set but much more intricate. Enclosed I found a printed notice which read. We are sending, in reply to your letter of the 10th instant our patented, ''Wireless-Time-o-Graph.'' This ma- chine will pick up radio waves at any period in time you may desire, either past or future. If after three days . . Now I confess I was no little amazed. I could remember no letter, but being a man of action I said, This is my golden opportunity. If this is on the level, I shall yet get my prophecy in on time. Then having read the instructions, I hooked up the machine, turned the time dial to 1959, poised my pencil over my notebook and commenced to fiddle with the station knob. Suddenly sweet strains of piano music flooded the small room, rising to a crescendo of grief. Then it ceased. A silky voiced announcer commenced, You have just heard Charles E. Dimond, 'King of the Blues,' and his lacrimose piano presented for your enjoyment by the Duggan and Hurley Ice and Refrigerator Company. makers of those . . I dropped my pencil, and being of an un-plugable nature twisted the dial. Immediately another station had been tuned and I listened to: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is John Kawaguchi bringing you the latest sports dope of the day, compiled directly from reports furnished by James McNamee, Sports editor of the New York Times. FLASHl Kirby Torrance, vice-president of the Seattle Rainiers, announced today that with the acquisition of 'Babe' Kempton, 'Fatty' Fox and Joe Sanders, the Rainiers will emerge from the cellar and grab the National League Pennant for '59, We have just received word that the complaint lodged by Head Coach Lyall Wellens of O'Dea College against Don Wood, coach of Notre Dame, on the charges of intimidating the opposing team by making faces from the side- lines, has been sustained. Hereafter the 'Tiger' will have to confine his physiognomatics to extra-curricular activities. CLICK- We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special news bulletin direct from a U. S. Navy destroyer: Owner Joseph Nally and Co-navigators Norbert Miller and William Cleary of the 35-ft. yawl 'Gold Bug' were found safe today. Admiral George Adams and Rear Admiral James Boettner were in command at the time. Deck-hands James Murphy and Robert Schlosser, who participated in the actual rescue stated that Nally, though delirious from thirst, at first refused to leave the 'Gold Bug' muttering something about time and money. Here the chain cut in again and I heard: And now we bring you, through the courtesy of Boyle-McCue Packing Company, the golden voice of James Mark Sullivan singing the latest song hit of Composer Jack Young, 'You've Got a Cute Little Qstaticl on Your Foreheadf' Though I would have liked to listen I could see no more information for my article on that station so I again moved the dial. A clear crisp voice cut into the room. I needed no announcer to tell me that the voice was none other than James Hunt's. He sounded good, so I listened: The racketeering ring headed by the notorious 'Slugger' McCracken. was smashed last week, M. John McDer- mott, F. B. I. chief and recent successor of John McKay, revealed today. 'Slugger' himself was captured only after a fierce gun battle in which State Patrolmen William O'Brien and Jack H. Walsh were shot in the arm, and Eugene Van Alstine and Thomas Nault received flesh wounds. District Attorney Patrick J. McGinnis, who worked hand in hand with the Federal agents promised speedy convictions with maximum sentences. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Raymond McKay and John J. Anderson, financiers, and presidents of Western Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Railways, respectively, are not going to clean up as they expected on the proposed flight of Pilots Richard Harris and John Acheson to Tibet. They were, you know, going to arrange for mass transportation of Tibetan lamas to the U. S. for use as farm animals. However, Duane B. Acheson, chief engineer for rival Burgess Air Manufacturies, informs us that the motors, designed by Conner and Gardner Air Power. Inc.'s chief engineer, Robert Miller, can never stand the high altitudes of the Tibetan highlands. Counters Co-Pilot William Diemert, 'He don't know de merit of those motors.' I We were notified yesterday that the American Medical Association, headed by Alvin Burke, president, and Clif- ford Pitts, Lawrence Lackie and Eugene Tardiff, lst, 2nd, and 3rd vice-presidents, respectively, shall not permit itself to be socialized by Organizer Ronald Ronnie Clynch. Clynch, as you know, boiled hot water for himself two years ago, when he attempted to bring the Meneghini-Brazil Fleet into line. Ronald had a stormy day. They employed. if you recall, William Schlax and Steven Bud Sult of the U. S. Secret Service, who traced Clynch's Communistic lean- ings back even to his high school days. Clynch was saved from deportation by his friendship for dumb animals, which fact was brought to the attention of President William Moffat by Frank 'Boss' Lee. SCIENCE FLASH-Hugh Slye, relativitist specialist, has succeeded in pointing out the value of relativity in Forestry to Chief Forester John R. Walsh and Forester General Paul Noone, Slye, it seems, maintains that since all trees of a kind belong to the same family they must be relatives . . . LATE WALL STREET FLASH-Eggs are up to 35 and one-half and buyers are squawking . . . said Edward Wartelle, who is attempting to corner the egg market between himself and William Henry. 'I don't like these eggs. they are too hard to s . . . sell.' SPECIAL TODAY-High Naval oflicials, Gerard Goerger and William Polhamus and Army big bugs, Theo- dore Blanchette and Everett Herron today previewed a combination land, water, and air tank, constructed from plans tilched from the Moronia government by foreign espionage agents, Richard Walsh and John Fujiwara. Incidentally Walsh and Fujiwara have not yet been heard from since the day following the submission of the plans from Moronia. Foul play is suspected. FINAL DISPATCH--John Pelland, western head of Catholic Action, announced that a new training school for Catholic Actionists would be headed by Abbe Lyle Kannitzerf' And suddenly the voice of the announcer lost its official inflection and expressed the following amazing words: 'Well, J. P., I guess I fooled you that time. I was afraid all along I would have to do the thing myself and I knew it when you came to school yesterday and hadn't even started it. Haa, Ha, ha, hhaa. hhhaaa, hhhaaa . . A scraping sound came from the machine and sounded suspiciously, oh so darn suspiciously, like a phonograph running down. 21
