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. JACK PRITCHARD, Clam Prophet. 20
