83 - The PORCUPINE QUILL Act V New Prospects For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see. Will you come with me for a trip to 1960? What you'll see will shock you, what you'!l hear will thrill you, and what you'll feel- well, you'll see! We're on our way! You ask what is this strange machine We ride in? You thrill to see the land ten feet below you, and marvel at the speed? Why, this just a Celeriferm. It was invented 'way back in 1945, at the time the scientists discovered Phlanyx, the harness of air and gravity. Ah! I see you recognize the district. Yes, we are in South Porcupine, on our Way to Timmins, where I'll show you unbelievable changes and incredible inventions. In one minute we'll be there-And here We are! Don't be frightened! This ten-by-four ce- ment enclosure which seems to startle you, is just my Celeriferm's house. You see, when this machine was invented and when every' one got one because they were so cheap, the town knew they would have to find some way to house them. And so what once YOU knew as the Cyanide is now a resting place for every Celeriferm in Timmins. You see how the tiny buildings are built on such a slope and at such an angle that each Celeii- ferm flies right home from the air? Quite diferent from the old aeroplanes which required a whole lot to slow up in, are they not? But come, we must not loiter. You have only one hour to stay away from 1935, and I have much to show you yet. You stop, you stareg you look aroundp at last you exclaim: It this our Timmins? Yes, this is Timmins. The Timmins of 1960. I suppose you wonder where the garage is, the entrance in 1935 to Timmins. But You for- get! No cars are needed now. And Itum is sold instead of gas-itum, which sells at 3c a gallon and which lasts for a Week. Would you like to inspect the tiny building where it is sold? Well, here We are. Will you meet its manager-Mr. J. Brovender?-meet?- but I see that you know each other. I am sorry, but I am afraid we cannot stay. And now I have a splendid treat in store for you. We are going to visit the Timmins High and Vocational School. And we shan't have to walk either. We'l1 simply step on one of these ever-moving revolving sidewalks and- presto! we'll be there in two minutes! We're there-yes, we are-this is the High School. You don't recognize this immense building, do you? Mr. Jacques Sauve, the principal, has ar- ranged a tour of the rooms for us, and if time permits, weill visit one form of each year. No, no, you don't have to walk-not in this school. Do you see this small two-seater at the door? Every pupil rides to his classes in the morning in one. He must be there at 11 a.m. sharp. One mile down this hall and we'll be with Form IV-May we come in, Miss Haines? You see the machine in the corner of the room? It is a sound absorber. The voices of the pupils are absorbed in it, and thus silence is maintained. Now we're with Form V . The chap with his feet on the desk is Mr. L. Chisholm, who is giving an illustrated lecture on The Bene- its of Sleep. We'd love to stay and hear it, but time flies, and so must we. Wlould you like to see the auditorium, with its tiers of seats and magnificent pipe-organ? Perhaps we'll even hear Mr. G. Darling playing the Moonlight Sonata, While Miss J. Stibbard vainly tries to teach h-er class to tango to it. .Would you like to?-but alas! The clock strikes 33 the classes are over: and your hour is up. JESSIE RAMSAY You'll find school jokes to the very end of The Quill
