iHrnphprg AST Sunday beingr a cold, rainy day, was very, very dreary. After stay- in;r in the house all day with thoughts, as my only companions, I fell asleep. In my dreams time had flown to the year 1935. The city of East Point had reached the height of its glory. It could no longer be called a small city. It was the center of activity. The beautiful month of April had just arrived with her fruit blossoms and bright flowers. It was on the fifth day of the aforementioned month that I stood at the Terminal Station in Atlanta, Georgia. I had always longed to travel and see the world, and at last my ambition was to be realized. IVIy hrst stop, of course, was to be New York.

Of course Ella purchased a news- paper for further information tas we needed all that was availabld and What should we see but a picture of H. B. Starr on the first page. VVe were glad to learn that H. st ambition had been realized and he had won a great name for himself as an inventor.
