ton Dance, recognized as one of the outstanding pitchers in his league; in the press box, I recognized Olmo Toombs, who has for a score of years been doing a column on sports for the Punkin Center Weekly Star. As the scene shifted I saw Ann Dow. She was still keeping up the morale of the veterans at McGuire General Hospital. Herman Call, a trained worker in the field of reorientation, was also there. Who was that boarding the airliner? It was Mary Lee Pease, who is tour- ing the world; behind her, Evelyn Dunnavant who plans to present to Empress Nancy Corbin her version of the elements of the moon, in the form of a hat. Breezing around taking pictures for his paper was photographer Alex Goyne. Kaki Mitchell was interviewing architect, Jacquelin Terrell, who has completed plans for the new under-water house. It’s too bad “Jack” couldn't persuade anyone to build it on land. On a successful farm was Jack Taylor, former football and basketball uni- versity star. He was listening to the sales talk of Betty Rose Eyler who was dem- onstrating Ford automobiles for the Bennett Motor Co., owned by our friend, O7zell. Chief pie bakers in Francis Dale’s modern bakery were Edna Fouts and Lil- lie Mae Shelton. Edna had just finished a vitamin special with plastic meringue. As the clouds rolled and parted a theater swam into my vision. ‘There in the ninth row on the aisle was Ruby E. Frith, a capable housewife, enjoying the performance. John McKay, a celebrated vocalist, was rendering Nancy Roberts’ new song hit, “Mouse Trap Blues’. Making use of my supernatural power, X-ray vision, I saw Ethel Stith standing in the wings waiting to come on the stage to perform her famous “Brumble Bee” dance. With her was Jane Wilson, Ethel’s business manager. In her spacious and beautiful studio, commercial artist, Dorothy Jinkins, was busy drawing illustrations of Chris Maxwell’s dress creations. One of the latest was a bizarre little number called the “split atom”’. The fire burned low, the smoke couds thinned, but one last scene swam be- fore my sight. I saw Dorene Pierce and her happy family boarding their auto- giro for a short trip to Mexico City. As this vision faded, I dragged myself from this land of “yet to come” and, looking around on the world as it is, inwardly gave thanks to Hecate and her assistants for the mystic powers which had been granted me.
