v--qv I see cute little Frances Buckner as I drool over Atlantic City. I hear her tell- ing the boys who are trying to flirt with her: i Cute little face, Cute little figure, Go away boys, 'Till I get a little biggerf, Now passing over Lake Success I see broken hearted Alice Watts, who was re- fused a job as a French interpreter because the first thing she asked was Parlez- vous francais ? Rufus Johnson, the U. S. representative says, Ulf some of them would jump in the lake, we would have more successf' Gliding over Vassar, I see Pee Wee Gaines, who is instructing geometry to Anne Jourdan, who only wants to go around in circles Cchasing menj. Zooming to San Francisco, I seejane Spence playing the piano for Joanne Phillips who is a psychiatrist because she says it helps her get keyed up for silly problems Like Secretary Jean Phillips, who comes to her with the illusion that she is too fat. Back East in Florida, I see Curtis Elmore, the biggest canner of fruit juice in the U. S., but he only cans lemon juice. Could it be becasue of his little wife, the former Bobbie Jean Lemons? In Winston-Salem at a tobacco warehouse I hear Russell Pike jabbering away. He is a tobacco auctioneer who says, You grow it, I'll sell it. Before I go back to my abode I come for one last look at Chatham County. I find Ruth Greene at home with the housework. She has four children and she just about has her hands full. In Bonlee I see LaMarr Poarch preaching to farmer liarl Dowd telling him, Those chicks are too young to fry. Also on a farm is Allcnc Barker, who says, Well, I guess I'm left holding the Bag. llarkl l hear St. Peter calling, so I guess I had better be running along. Hope l sec you ALI. there sometime.

Coming back to Siler City, I see Sheriff Robert Emerson finding Jimmy Vann's Still-STILL chasing Women. As I pass over Elon College I see Elizabeth Ward at last getting her teacher's certificate in dress styling. Maybe one reason she has accomplished her mark is that Doc Clapp is the new professor-one of those who wants to cover the subject as little as possible. Passing over Fort Uackjson S.

As I cruise northward to Portsmouth, Va., I locate Lois Seawell running a beauty shop and washing Mousie,' Light's hair. Mousie is unconsciously singing lim Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair. Now I stop for a coke', and, glancing through the New York Timm, I see in Ann Siler's sports column that Chicago Bears' fullback Paul Ferguson is racking up scores-scores of penalties. On the steps of the Capitol in Washington, I see Babe', Harris trying to get the President to veto a bill that since popcorn makes so much noise, it should be outlawed in theaters. Mary Alice Gilliland and Laurastine James are helping her, because their children will be dissatisfied at the movies without any. 19
