ST. PE'I'ER'S TROUBLE! St. Peter turned over in bed, and after making a pass at the alarm clock, finally decided that the best thing to do would be to get up. So he rolled off his couch, brushed the wrinkles out of his Wings, donned his shoes and his halo, and strolled down to the gate. The kindly old saint was amazed to notice that the gates were standing open. To his horror he discovered that someone had picked the lock on the pearly gates! Looking up, he saw a group of six souls sitting on top of the wall, looking over the heavenly domains with r a t h e r cynical expresisons. A woman in a Greek uniform with a saber :tuck in her side and a rather bored expresison on her f a c e introduced the company: Marguerite Hayward Cshe in- dictated herselfj ,Berneth Layer, L u c i l l e Andersen, June Abe, Stanley Parker, and Lucien Caillau--the senior members of the 1934 El Gab Staff. Pauline Benson ought to be here, too, but she and Jeanette Jenkins must be ill. St. Peter remembered the group from a few 1934 entries in the Heav- enly Record. You've come to the wrong place, he said. Apparently they thought so, too, for they left. With a sigh of relief the old gate-keeper settled down in his office for the routine for route inj business of the day. A group of souls from a wrecked liner appeared to demand admittance. The captain, Jim Brewer, after remarking that his bier had at least been 3.277 watery, herded his passengers up to the ticket office. Among these damp souls were Viola Buskuhl, Anna Blomquist, and Martha Hatton, tourists, Betty Hamilton, of Hollywood fame, Dorothy DeCloss, stewardess, and XVillis Horr, Frank Hughes, and Walter Wiechring, husky A. Bfs. Doro thy was obliged to leave all her borrowed clothes outside, but was finally admitted. Frank Hughes unfortunately tripped over the threshold, broke a rib, and had to be sent to the infernary. His last trip! A scientific group of six followed, which was seen to consist of Jean Jacobsen, Jacque Lenhart, Harold McDonald, Tom Hirabayashi, Peter 024

Sugawara, and Ivan Pickens. They announced that they were studying hydro-dynamics, and St. Peter directed them to a better field for their activities. Labor troubles and Red uprisings gained admittance as martyrs for Elmer Cosseboom, Mary McQuat, Dale Harris, and Kay Rhodes. Ward Hiserman was immediately assigned to the task of painting new scenery behind four abandoned thrones. The Heavenly Choir, consisting of Norma Hile, Gladys Fay Butler, Louise Fiese, Helen Neal, Julia Martella, Freida Hebrard, and Gladys Onoye, sang Isn't It Heavenly to welcome the newcomers. Ex-pretzel benders Jack Reed, James Plaskett, Leo Silacci, and Russell Sweetman made halos for them. The next half hour was rather hectic. Aloha Tisher, Helen Fontes, Ed Kelly, and Gladys Neilson applied, but were shown the sign on the gate reading No Teachers Allowed. The souls of Jim Errington and an Aberdeen Angus cow arrived next, and the thoughtful saint sent them to Pastures of Heaven. He might have said: Go to grass, but several cen- turies of such puns had made them a trifle overgrown. Till noon Heaven was overrun with pedlers. Enos Vosti arrived to tune the harps, Theo- dore Closter and Oliver Spicer left samples from the Airflow Wing Co., Marie Pope delivered an order of cushions, and the boy from the Celestial Grocery Store, Incorpsorated, Johnny Lumsden, left the daily order. Just as St. Peter prepared to close the tradesman's gate, a voice piped up: It's the Fuller Brush man. And there was Jim Tetrick. The noon whistle blew, and St. Peter closed up and went to lunch at the Casentini Heavenly Restaurant. Rose Franci served one of Anna Morasco's famous meals. The saint had honey and nectar. After luncheon the afternoon rush began. Congressmen Everett Wall- ing, Wilfred Scheffler, Ed Mahler, Ralph Cosseboom, and Lucille Ogle swaggered up. Saint Peter slammed the gates and hurriedly hung out the No Politicians Allowed sign. But the group on the outside was not to be discouraged: They found a loophole and slipped through. St. Peter was having his difficulties. Nancy and Jane Hughes were the next to arrive, and he was troubled about his eyesight-thought he was seeing double. Finally he closed his eyes and then let them in. But the worried look did not leave his face. John Rice followed the twins after convincing the Recording Angel that Roger was only an alias. Marjorie Tholcke, Thelma Thomsen, and John Freeman made the grade, although 259
