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
