After doing all tnis, I decided th t I still had a living to Aake, so I again knock ed at a quiet one story house. Who should qen the door but Betty Ann Parker, much to my surprise, and old maid, cat and all. She in- sisted that I have tea with her. Knowing that I night learn some gossip, I stayed. Betty Ann said that Lois Jessup had been a missionary for three years anong the can- nibals of Douth Africa and that once she was alnost burned at the state. I also ,learned that Everett Babb was being a pain to everyone by pulling teeth and that Vir- ginia Irwin was the star reporter for the Westfield Daily Gazette, one of the foremost newspapers of this district. Mary,Louise.Wil- liens was doing all of her arguing in courts, a lawyer instead of a housewife EM? what up- sets!! and Wavern Baker was chiei and only mechanic for the Jain Garage and that Dora Ellen Baker, who was a chenist, had nearly blown her office up by discovering some new explosive, and last but not least that Phil Overman was a prominent undertaker in charge of Overman's Funeral Parlor. After hearing all this, my head was fairly realing so I went for a trolley ride m Moontown. On the way there, I saw Ralph Wood plowing in the middle of a field, a so-called scientific farmer because he had installed a radio on his tractor and listened to Prof. Plow-em-up's daily chat on how to make R ming a success. As the city limits came into view, I saw a large sign which said: Wwelcome to Moon- townu, Leslie Wheeler, Mayor. This was quite a surprise so I went to visit his office only to learn fran his secretary, Faye Nichols, that he was out of town. By this time it was quite late, .seeing a sign which said tourist rooms, WI decided to stop. There stood Mary Bower, the happy wife with a darling brown-eyed baby girl pul- ling at her apron.
