Un '7fze141?a . . . aqmmmszwfm Here's the big day we've all been waiting for. After months of tedious investigation on the people of Mount Pleasant we now have the report for the people of the world. ' As you know, Carmela Zurzola's new atomic energy plant will be located there, and since this is such a vital product both to the country and government, certain precautions had to be taken. The two geriators who will be giving us names and occupations of the citizenry are George Francis and Sherman o erts. The first person Mr. Francis interviewed was thelmayor, Mr. Nick Vukich, who, in turn, introduced him to other city officials, who were Robert Abbey, Rosie Burkhardt, lim Ewing, and Ronald Flowers, councilmen. It seems the city had a drive on for sanitation, and the head clean-up man was Tony Roppolo, who swept Main Street eight hours daily from nine to five. While Mr. Francis was getting a on-the-spot interview from Mr. Roppolo, Mr. Roberts became impatient and strayed along the street to interview some of the citizens. Imagine his surprise when he came upon Iohn Williams, an old friend, who is now a leading lawyer. Talking as men will, the conversation turned to politics and the world situation. One of the things discussed was the fact that we now have a woman president. Iohn just didn't think that Marie Wintrow would work out. No one objected when she made lean Wheatley Veep and Iudy Cork, Secretary of State, but when agitated the leader of the D.A.R., Miss Donna Archer, by installing a gym in the White House, and not inviting her to see the world-famous acrobats, Marilyn Ward and Barbara Bates, in their Flirt with Death, everyone agreed that the Speaker of the House may suggest she retire from office, and it has been said many times that Iohnnie Bostick has never been mistaken about any- thing yet! A heated discussion arose over the reputability of the night spot owned by Dorothy Dunlevy. Ever since the investigation started two G-Men were assigned to watch the place. Dick Bause and Ray Hoff- man have reported everything seemed fine except Ed Bittle's Sextet, so detectives were assigned to follow Ed, lack Faller and Charles Copeland. The girls were Shirley Anderson, Bev McCracken and Connie Iohnson. One of the celebrities visiting the club was Lois Steinbeck and her chorus, consisting of Bessie McClure, Alice Baranchik, Vita and Clara Accurso and Dee Abraham. All bookings are taken care of by Betty Ryan. Iohn said he had to get back to court as he had a case in Iudge Richard Browning's court and he insisted that it start exactly on time. Pauline Lombardo was suing Don Rainey for neglect. The next person Mr. Roberts interviewed was Clifton Bye, who is quite a successful businessman now. He owns the Bye Beer Bottling Company. Cliff gave Sherman a report on some of his employees. They were lim Gleespen, supervisory Ierry Fagan, taster, and Bill Thomas, lack Stephen, Dick Sengpiel and Richard Rootes, beer bottle cappers. Sally Abernathy had charge of the office staff. Sherman decided he had better get back and find George, so he started up the street just in time to see Tony marching his street sweeping militia up Main Street, brooms shouldered. Ed Smith was leading the group and Bob Carson brought up the rear. fWhile Bob works, Dorothy is home teaching the boys the fundamental of basketball.l The group marched right up to City Hall and into the Health Department, Francis Ryan, aided by Sally Traster, check the germ ratio of all city employees daily. Their motto is, Stomp That Germ. Wandering through the building we came tO the survey room. Peeping inside, we saw Bernice Cooper, aided by Carol Severns and Dawn Sheetz, making a survey on the number of Smiths in Ohio. In the cellar they found the janitor, Ronald Broom, sneaking time out to read janet Belingefs novel, l'The Art of Loafing, in which she is very talented. On the way to lunch they passed through the business section of town. Several large corporations are located there. As they passed the Aunt Sylvia Weems Corn Cake Company, a car drew up, out jumped Hattie Burney and Deloris Caldwell to roll out the red Carpet: the next person to emerge was Doris Clay and her assistant, Ruth Chism, who sprayed away germs, Sylvia is very rich now and employs only females. Her drivers are Mary Young for Cadillacs and Sarah Wims for Buicksl Next dgojf was o hotel, The Nine Ninety Roomer, managed by CYI1dC1 Stevens. On down the street is the Beef Trusters' Gym, owned by Ranny Litz and assisted by Leah Eihinger, No Brain Trusts need Stoo there. Iust a few doors away is the city newspaper owned and edited by Shirley Dobbs, who is doing quite CI CC1PClblO job, even Th0UC-Th the PCIPST is just CI IIGW establishment. Edyth Gipson and her millionaire gave it to Shirley for Christmas. They I'1OtiC9Cl quite G feW people Walking- When inquiring why, they found out that Sally Calhoun's bus company is on strike. She's still eating beans. Driving up in front of a Swanky reStGurG1'1t. they noticed it belonged to Dan Pepa. Inside, the hostess was Shirlee Kirk, who Showed the fe1lOWS tO G tgble. When she found out who they were she invited them to go through the kitchen. The head COOk. Mcrrkedith Parker, was the one to show them around. After the investigation, the Hollinger Construction Company was Called to Start the Work. Il was exciting to watch the building ao up. Had it not been for the bricklayer expert work it could never have been accomplished. Many thanks to Shirley Hoover, Ann Rainey, Shirley Nelson, and Nancy Melnik, When the building was completed the furnishings were brought in. Eugene Penix was very nervous as he was afraid they would drop the bomb filing cases. Margaret Stevens files therm- The mission completed, George and Sherman bOCIrded the trai.n for home. Touring the cars they found Gene Carson to be the engineer. We all appreciate the work that has been done. Keep tuned to this station for the latest results in world-wide happenings. This is your news caster, Norma Slinker.
