I thought I would like to put in my two cents worth, so I hope you will print the following Cif it is printablej. This is a dream I just had: As I stepped up to the airliner, I just happened to glance at the stewardess. just a matter of business, as I was chief talent scout for Warner Sisters Film Company. Well, anyhow, she interested me for I was sure I'd seen her somewhere before. It couldn't bel It wasl Mildred Whalen! I hadn't heard anything about my classmates for a long time, so Mildred told me that June Cochenour was abroad with her arch-duke husband. Just then somebody came up behind me and slapped me on the back. I turned around and found the owner of the hand was Nelson Rader. He was co-pilot on this airliner. Did I trust myself to ride with him? He added quickly that Melvin Andrew was the Captain. Melvin shulfled up just then, all excited. He had just come from a wedding. I quickly congratulated him but he said he was the best man at Wayne Fisher and Betty Sherburne's wedding. The airport announcer announced that our plane would take off in one minute. We all climbed aboard. As the door was about to be closed, a woman dashed in and took the seat next to me. She was Dr. Anna Allman, Chief Chemist of Dew Pond Laboratories. She was so surprised at seeing me that the only words I could make out were chemical formulas. Finally, she was able to talk and believe me she could talk. Her husband, Joe Lipinski, was over in Africa as a mis- sionary to the Pygmies. Anna also added that Ruth Karns was private secretary to the president of LaSalle Motor Company and that C'arlton Bauman and his wife, Geraldine Townsend, were starting up a plant to manufacture cars of Carlton's design. By now our plane was high in the sky. Suddenly squadron of fast army planes came up so close that I could easily see the leader. It was Cliff Bucher! I waved at him, but he didn't see me. Our plane soon arrived at our destination. Bidding Anna adieu, I hailed a taxi. I happened to notice the driver, who proudly showed me his badge for being the safest driver in America. fThe name engraved on the medal was J. Hellerj. As we sped along, he asked me if I had heard about Franklin Miller. Junior told me he was now chief engineer on a coast-to-coast streamlined train. Junior added that joe Ritenour had a large airplane factory and Ken Haynes, that man about town, was Joe's chief sa esman. I just happened to glance out the window at a farm. The name on the barn was Rolland Studer. I told Junior to stop and we went in. Rolland said his wife, Bessie V., and their two children, Mary and Harriet, had gone to town to shop. I asked him if he meant Whitehouse and he said Yes . Whitehouse now had a population of 5.000 and still growing. Mayor Ted Montion was running the town very efficiently. Rolland said Uncle Carl Wilson had just bought the ad- joining farm. Carl and 'his bride, the former Mary Bucher, were going to raise pigs. We left Rolland and went to Whitehouse. Myl How large it was. Passing down the main street, I noticed a large building. The sign said, Ruthy's Bowling Alley -Ruth Aldrich Talmage was manager. I stopped in to talk with Ruth and she told me her husband, Dewey, was up north on his vacation. Ruth asked me if I had heard that Mr. and Mrs. Roger Crosby fthe former Ruth Steinbrecherj were going to Alaska' to prospect for gold. She also told me that Loretta Bucher and Lila Lee McGilvery were owners of a large dress shop in New York. I gave Ruth some inside dope on Hollywood. Lola Mae Roach was starring in a new iilm, The Iceman Who Came to Dinner. The radio newscast told us of the appointment of Ira Ackerman as head football coach at Ohio State University. Ruth told me that he and Josephine Struth were planning to be married right after Junior won his first football game. Glancing at a newspaper, I noticed an article about Russia's minister to the U. S. A. Reading further, I noticed the name of Florence Faith Smith. Why, Florence and the Minister are to be married next week and her friend, Viola Rygalski, is making her debut at the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York, A week later back in my olfice in Hollywood, I turned on the radio. A wom.an's voice started pouring out of the loudspeaker. I knew that voice couldn't belong to anyone but Roberta Sprink. As I listened. she was saying that she was very happy to be president of Tibet! Well, well, welll Suddenly another voice started talking. This time it wasn't the radio. It was my father telling me to get up. With a sigh and groan I arose. Some dream, eh, Editor? Dreamily yours, VERNOR B. BUCHER.
