Prophecy A few minor adjustments and it's through: the greatest development of the century. With the installation of this little device, anyone can look into his television set, instead of a crystal ball, and see into the future. The principle is veiy simple too; all this gadget is, is a clock that has been set to run so fast that it's twenty years ahead of time. You are lucky people to be present at this unveiling. Who knows what sights will present themselves as we twist the dials? Shall be try it? -----and now, fifteen minutes of around-the-world news, with Doug Carlin, your Atom-Miser re- porter. We take you now to Paris, with Gordon Williard, a Beau Brummel himself, bringing you the latest in the world of fashion. The International Association of Commercial Artists has recognized Charle de Frost as the outstanding artist of the year. Mme. de Frost modestly attributed her success to her model, Dodo” Diehl. These up-and-coming Americans! From Boston comes the latest news with Paul Violette, that connoisseur of beautiful babes, reporting. Widdy Cecil, who, nineteen years ago made history as the first female homo sapien to be admitted at Harvard, has again made headlines. Miss Cecil, who expects to pass on to the sophomore class next year, has been named 'Miss Waterboy of 1970' by the unanimous vote of all collegiate athletes. Medical history is made in Baltimore! Here is Bill Pumphrey, whose only interest in human anatomy is from a view point viewpoint, with the details. Dr. L. R. 'Labor' Payne, of John Hopkins Hospital, has at last found a cure for ingrown eyeteeth. Dr. Payne, who was assisted in his work by Mrs. Patricia Greene King, R. N., and Miss Jean Watkins, R. N., claims that by removing the head, inverting it and replacing it, the defective tooth is induced to grow in the other direction. And now, Louisville, Kentucky, with Stewart Sport' Magruder giving out with the sports news. The racing world was jolted this afternoon by reports that Texas City, Kentucky Derby winner owned by Lou Campbell, will be retired soon. Miss Elizabeth Keiser, national chairman of the S. P. C. A., has filed an injunction to prevent any attempt by Miss Campbell to increase the production of her glue factory by using Texas City. After long years of planning, the most colossal gymnasium in the world has been started. Here is Clyde Holland, who digs up dirt for this program, from Washington. The sleepy little town of Rockville, Maryland, was awakened yesterday by the ground-breaking ceremony for the stupendous new high school gym. The actual ground-breaking was performed jointly by opera stars Marianne Angell and Lawrence Dahlin, after which they sang 'Jingle Bells' to their own accompaniment of ukuleles. Building contractor B. C. Karn, Jr., who is building the gym, proudly posed for the cameras while holding a silver shovel donated by M. Harlow and Sons, Jewelers, for the occasion. The new gym, which was planned by the Floyd, Duley, Grant, Price, Ricketts, and Reichard Architectual Service, Incorporated, is to be so large that it will have an indoor outdoors. Among nationally known notables present were Secretary of Agriculture, Carol Taylor; Attorney General F. J. Prettyman; Secretary of the Treasury, James Spring; Secretary of the Interior, Big Jim Nicholson; Secretary of Commerce, Robert Huff; Secretary of Labor, William Garret; and the President's personal secretary, Miss Patsy Hitt. President Patsy O'Brien (her husband took her last name since she was more important), America's first woman President, was unable to attend because she had just given birth to her third set of twins. The field of entertainment was represented by 'Bari, The Great' Dickinson, magician, 'Fatlcss' Faatz, strong man, and Sonja' Bennett, the figure-skating queen. Also present was the richest man in the world, Deacon Leighton, the nation's only professional court house lawn sitter. And now, a word from our sponsors, James T.

 Today we have arranged with Dr. Ruth Rokahr, prominent psychologist, to let you watch her deal with some of her patients. We take you now to her office where Charlie Harmon, ace camera man, is secreted. If your screen goes blank, don't think there is something wrong with it. Charlie has been told to censor anything risque.” The screen is blank. They must be censoring something already. I'll bet that camera man is enjoying it though. Listen. Wow! Wow!! WOW!! Go back to your cell like a good girl, Doris. How many times do I have to tell you, Dr. Rokahr? I'm not Doris Burnley. I'm Miss Rockville' of 1949. I am, too! I am, too!” Slam!! That must have been good. I wish we could have seen it. Ah. They've quit censoring. Dr. Rokahr speaks. A psychology teacher once told my class that one out of every ten people would wind up in a mental institution. Out of my class of seventy-eight, seven and eight-tenths are now in this very institution. I’ll introduce them to you. This is Jimmy King. Poor Jimmy is terribly frustrated. He keeps tearing paper into little pieces and sits and counts them out, muttering to himself the whole time. Let's listen to what he’s saying. Loves me. Loves me not. Loves me. Loves me not. She don't love me, Dr. Rokahr. I’m going out and eat worms. If Jimmy would go jump in a lake he'd feel better. How do you figure that, Allan? According to Archimedes, if a body is placed in a liquid it is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid, so if Jimmy were buoyed up he wouldn't feel so downcast. That was Allan Burdette. He suffers under the illusion that he's a mathematical genius. And then there's Carl Holland, a kleptomaniac. What have you got in your pockets, Carl? Oh, just a few things a man gave me to take care of while he goes on a trip. Where is he going? To study prison conditions in Siberia. You probably won't recognize her, but this is June Lynch, former poet laureate of America, has wasted away to mere skin and bones trying to think of a word to rhyme with 'cancerophobia.' Those two girls over there standing on their heads playing catch with a ping pong ball, are bara Cole and Joanne Dawson. They got so neurotic trying to remember complicated basketball that they don't know which end is up. I know you've been dying to meet the .8 person, so here is Janice DeHaven, bare feet pipe and all. She isn't quite all there. Pfft!! Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are forced to disconl idiot spit tobacco on the microphone and gummed up the works. The Video Correspondence School is on the air! This program educating anyone interested enough to look and listen. Our faculty is rained subjects; from agriculture with Mr. Carson Fender to classes for the Wilson. In between are typing with Miss Pauline Elder, the inventor Miss Nevile Smith, whose specialty is wind instruments; art with ” for the movement in her still lifes; and knitting with Miss Ma of purling with oysters. As a special course we are introduce ticular. Wc have arranged for two experts, Misses Delores hunting and fishing. After much practical experience, these they don't know about the subject. I would also like to make it known that our faculty stands mend for use in their classes. They have to. The manufacturers of th Raymond Rawn Co. Stationers furnish us with all writing materials. Taylor, Inc. Now listen while the quartet proclaims the virtues of June Bar- plays (Continued on page 58)
