Gfass ropfzecy Idly looking into my magic hour glass yesterday evening, I was startled to see a huge car roll slowly by bearing the license 1952. Driving the car was highway patrolman, Delbert Patterson. As the golden sand sifted slowly through, the patrolman drove up and threw his bright spotlight on Herbert Kearney, Pryor banker, for running a stop light. He was taken to the police station where Chief of Police, Jerry Locke, fined him 850.00 or five days in Jail. Herbert did not have the money with him so he called up his private secretary, Wanda Mann- ing, and had her to deliver the cash. Slowly but surely the sand runs on through. I see those happy housewives, Tiny Cart- wright, Violet Jackson, and Carol McElroy, all gathered for a game of bridge at the home of the Cartwrights. The doorbell rings and in rushes Marie Gambill and Ina Deffenbaugh with all the latest news which they have gathered for the 'Evening Star,W edited by Buddy Cartwright. They report that Kenneth Ahsmuhs has won the academy award for his brilliant performance in the film nLife and Works of G. A. Godfreyn produced and directed by Adair and Miller Incorporated. Phil Harris won praise for his excellent direction of the orch- estra, with Lorraine Lewis as the featured vocalist. Gowns for Lorraine were designed by Madam Juna Mae Weigart. I was surprised at what I saw next. It was nurses Louise Harryman, Kathleen Wilson, and Helen Jenkins bending over the prostrate form of Dale Mitchell who had overworked him- self trying to sell the manufacturing company of Rutherford and Ince some of the new syn- thetic material he and chemist, Tom Walters, had discovered. finally persuaded to buy and manufacture the product, they were made famous overnight. Well known dress designer, Jane Redden, quickly adopted the material and soon Zola Gore and Marjorie Morgan had Lntroduced it into their smart shoppe in the shape of lovely evening gowns. Mildred Carter, the fam- ous hair stylist, needed only one look to know it was a gown designed exclusively for the new coiffure she was wearing. Looking even more closely at my magic glass, I see Jere Lewis and Robert Harrison de- monstrating the luxuries and comforts of the new 1952 model cars to Doyle Austin and Alfred Trindle who are thinking of organizing a taxicab company to cater to people whose wish is to spend cool summer evenings at the Grand Lake Summer Resort owned by Edythe Ford and Wan- da Armontrout. The musicals, at the resort, including the chorus and orchestra, are dir- ected by Imogene George. The golden sand drifts on through and I gaze amazedly at the rapid rate at which sec- retary, Lois Warren, takes dictation from school superintendent, Glenn Baker. Just as she finishes, in walks school coach, Karl Sears, who wants to know about matching a basketball game with the powerful team of Tulsa Central, coached by Betty Jo Mayes and her assistant, Betty Oldham. Odd that next I see Jean Mitchell co-starred with Elmer De Shazo in the Llitli Theater play, 'Mr. Ludlow Finds the Missing Link.' The play was directed by Patricia Yenny. Now that Joy Ross and Juanita Duncan are resting in Palm Beach after a strenuous win-- ter of modeling in New York, they see Margaret Copeland get off the boat that had returned from Africa where she has been stationed as Red Gross nurse. uonna Lee Clower, a dietician at the same African hospital, arrived with her, They are staying at the famous hotel owned and operated by Gloria Palmer and are friends of the hotel secretary,Billie June Scott. Comedians pass into the magic glass: otherwise what has become of Betty Springer? She has become famous on screen and air. Gladys Tallant, the school teacher, recommends list- ening to her for cheering Uh! weary. Then, as nearly all the sand has passed through the glass, I see Carl Curry expertly managing a large department store in Pryor. The sand has now all passed through and the golden vision vanishes. -----Jhnnita nhlcll PAGE
