Baker. Helen was engaged in making a movie with her favorite star, Copalong Hassidy. We soon noticed that our gasoline supply was getting low, so we began to look for a station. Presently, we spotted a sign which read WCloyd's Service Station.' we pulled in and a blonde beauty rushed out to greet us. You've guessed it! Jean Sn der Cloydl She, her husband Jim, and their twin boys were operating a thriving business. Leaving the desert behind us, we skimmed along in our Rocket 90, and by late afternoon we were in Arkansas. As we were flying low over a fertile field, we saw what appeared to be a bag of cotton. It was Mary Lou Purdy, hoe in hand. She shook her implement of toil at us and shouted, WOh Call Come mah these varmints quite disturbing my razorbacksln Her husband and fifteen kids came shuffling out to shake their fists at us. We caught a plane at Little lock and headed for New York. On our way we stopped at Spartanburg. When we had wandered about the met- ropolis for a few hours, we chanoed upon Ernie Mason, now a well- dressed, distinguished business man. Ernie is the owner of a depart- ment store, five grocery stores, three gas'stations and four dime stores. He told us proudly that Spartanburg had won the State basket- ball finals that year under the guidance of Coach Ernie Grubb, who had co e back from the war with a Russian bride. He also confided to us that M . Tudor still chews gum in school. Reluctantly we left our old home town and continued our journey to New York. Arriving there, we made an appointment with Governor Dewey to meet him for a conference at the Stork Club. After dinner, when the floor show began,we realized that the two outsta ding attractidul were our former classmates, Marilyn Tillson and Norma Brackin. Back- stage after the show we learned the Marilyn had eloped with Jbhnp Hyre, who is now in France as a good-will ambassador. Norma was m- ployed at theclub as an entertainer while she waited for her husband, General Earl Crist, to complete his military assignment and come back home. Our finial stop was in Philadelphia where we were to confer with the National Election Chairman, I . Robert Kress, our senior sponsor. M . Kress said that he was still living with his wifexand family in Muncie, Indiana. With all these pleasant m mories of visits with our old friends we returned to Washington confident that Leon lise would be our next President. I9
