kids hollering for some ice cream. Nurse Josephine Fields was also there, talking to the 4th grade teacher at Uranus High, Ollie Mae Brewer. Next door to Homer's Drug is a swanky beauty parlor owned and run by Lucille Jones. On Neptune I tried to call Anne Capps to congratulate her on one of her horses that had just won the Neptune Derby, but all I could get was telephone operator, Clara Adcock, saying, I'm sorry, but that number is busy. In Gilbert Buckner's grocery store on Saturn I saw the head nurse at the Saturn Memorial Hospital. Who should it be but Nettie Ann Crisson, arguing with Gilbert's cashier, Nell Smith, as to who would win the Intra-Planet Basketball Title. Libby Plummer raises dogs on Pluto for comic strips drawn by artist Irene Trogdon. Ann Clark is teaching them to bark. During my stay at Pluto, I saw them hard at work. I also visited the University of Pluto. P. U.'s Head Basketball coach, Darmy Roberts, carried me around the campus. I heard a lecture given by that noted Orator Eugene Patterson, on How not to Fly a Schoolbusf' The head French teacher, Shirley Adcock, couldn't seem to remember the translation of Parlez-vous francais ?, but she has acquired quite a reputation in her field. At a brief stopover at the Moon en route back to Earth, I met those two love- birds, Dorothy Dean Yow and Henry Siler, who now live on the Moon so they won't have to strain their necks looking at it. On my last day before going back to work here on the old Earth I see Jimmy Beane pitch a no-hitter in the 7th game of the World Series, and so become the hero of the Series. Then all too soon came that dreaded time--back to work. Bill Elder Prophet 21

CL SS PPIUPHECY Here it was at last! My long-awaited vacation fro-m my strenuous duties as assistant photographer in Goldston's studio. I seated myself in the Hagship of Dalton Marsh's Trans-universe Rocket Lines, never dreaming the special personal interest I was going to find all along the way of my round-the-universei' tour. Before I got back, I was to encounter or hear of almost every one of my old Siler City High School classmates. My pilot was that daredevil Jet-Jockey, Maurice Garrett. Seated beside me was Dalton's secretary, Carrie Lee Ferguson, who told me that Dalton's Jets have made five successful flights to every ten crashes-a remarkable record. My first stop was Mars Where I visited the city of Mars de Carlo. I stopped at the Carlo Mars, lush gambling Casino owned by Baxter Reitzel. The feature attraction at the Carlo was Lee Fox's Rockem and Sockem City Slickersf' His vocalist, Nancy London, was famous for her singing I Can't Love You, Honey, 'Cause Your Feet's Too Big. Also dining in the Carlo Room was the buyer for Sylvia O'Connor's clothing store chain, Edna Earle Brafford, talking to Mars' most famous model, Geraldine Scott. My next stop was Mercury. I happened to be on hand for the first demonstration of Fee1avision. I saw the Whopper Circus program, emceed by Mary Lee Elkins. The abo-ve featured Anne Straughan! tiny midget, reciting some of Daisy Jean Lowe's poetry. Afterward there was a talk on universal' affairs given by that VVall Street broker, France Jordan. He was introduced by his public-relations manager, Patsy Wood. Next stop, Venus. I was there in time to see Tommie Burke, winner of the annual round Venus Hot-rod Race, being congratulated by his ace mechanic, Ben Boren. I then went to Jupiter and saw that Gracious Guy Burke, the honest used- rocket dealer, who was having his ofHce remodeled by Betty Jean Scott, a famous decorator. Guy's secretary, Margie Paschal, helped Betty Jean do the job. I visited Uranus next. I stopped for a while at Homer I-Iall's new ultra- modern drug store. While I was there, I talked with Uranus college's first woman football coach, Billie Jo Bray. Also I saw Mrs. Barbara Brewer with her three 20
