Wait until he straightens up again. l cannot see his face, yes it is Wilton Melvin. Who is that seated at the piano? No wonder the playing sounds familiar because the accompanist is none other than our own Catherine Hughes. Our scene now changes back to Dixie and to the home of the former Peggy Jean Marley. Peggy is putting a cute little boy to bed for his afternoon nap . . . no it's not one boy, it's two boys . . . twins! Peggy looks very happy and we know she has two good reasons to be, a husband and twins. Well for goodness sakes who is that tall man leaving the Patrol Headquarters? You guessed it. lt's Captain Zeno H. Dixon of the North Carolina Highway Patrol. His black and silver patrol car has the speed needed to catch his man, even if he is driving a model A. The main street of Greensboro comes into view and who do l see in that sales room? Garland Fogleman. Garland is trying hard to sell a beautiful new Ford to the former Mary Ruth Yow. He seems to think she needs it so that she can travel with her husband and family, the largest for ten miles around. Our scene changes to our home-town P. G. There is a basketball game going on in the Gym. l can't tell who is playing, but l see that P. G. girls are way out in the lead, and no wonder! With a coach like Barbara Hackett they couldn't lose. A familiar sound comes to our ears as the droning voice of the dispatcher announces the near departure of flight 506 for San Francisco. LaGuardia Field is a flood of light and there goes Norma Jean King. Where is she going? Wait, here comes the pilot we'll ask him, maybe he knows. Captain can you tell . . . Well, well, Jack old boy it's good to see you. The captain knew. Jack Younts will fly Norma to Frisco and there she will take another plane to China. America is sending another missionary to the Orient. Greensboro is the scene of the next stop. Let's visit a few stores. We enter Meyers and who is the capable manager there of the street floor? There she goes, Martha iPeggyD Taylor. Peggy tells us that Betty Tucker is Per- sonnel Director of Woolworths. There goes Frances Allred up the street. After taking a business course at W. C. she is now helping Jefferson Standard keep their records straight. Well, there goes Lucille and Phyllis home with the groceries. Both girls have pretty homes where they are happy with their husbands. Look, here comes the Navy. Two salutes are rated. Captains Cletus Surratt and James Frye look good in their blue uniforms. Sparkie was in the insurance business before he joined the Navy and James gave up a berth with the Patriots to go to sea. As we enter the halls of High Point Memorial Hospital who do we see? Why, Bobbie Jean Lewis and Peggy Ann Kirkpatrick. They seem to be proud of the caps which they have iust received. Who is this coming down the hall? Ann Fields, what are you doing here? O yes, Bobbie is here. Ann is still in college and tells us that she has not made up her mind as to what she will do. Here is a scene that will interest you . . . a country side, a winding road, a lovely entrance with a big sign that says Old Mill Farm . Who do you think is the proprietor? There he stands on the porch of his large home, none other than Leon Reynolds. The road winds on for iust a few miles. Who is that tall man in the field with the workers? O yes, James Thompson is showing his workers iust what he wants them to do, and James is the man who can do it, too. He has had much experience in farming. His crops show that he is a good farmer. Although happily married, Jean Pugh and Dorothy Hendrix are valuable personnel at Woolworths. Jean handles the money matters and Dot is assisting the manager. Betty Jane Kirkman is still free. There she goes, iust leaving the Burlington Mill's Office. See that new Buick she is driving. Well, she should be able to ride in style for she has gone all the way to the top . . . Office Manager. Can that be Toronto, Canada? lt is. Why has the scene stopped at this house? Florence Fields decided to enter politics and married a diplomat who is now living in Canada and here is where they live. Gamble Sales and Service, Danville, Virginia. Let's follow James home. He seems to have had a busy day at the garage. He has reached the front walk . . . one, two, three, four, five, yes five cute little red heads running to meet him. We know he'll be busy for a while at least. Those kids will make things lively for pop. A Sunday scene in Atlanta, Georgia, shows Dorothy Lowe as organizing secretary for the United Church Group. The smoothness of operations shows her efficiency. You may be wondering where the other two members of the class are. Well, I'm Peggy Collins and you see what I'm doing and Howard Causey is the chief engineer who has controlled the program and television scenes as picked up for you by our roving stations.
