by a distinguished visitor to the Yard-Wally Tuttle, who is mayor of Maromas.

Irma Heinrich plays swing records on Station IAZZ and specializes in singing commercials. Rita Moore owns Moore's Mops, Muzzles, and Matches Incorporated. Rita is president, vice-president, treasurer, and she is even her own secretary. Good job, Rita! llo I-lirtle and lean Farrow own and operate a snazzy modeling studio in New York and are experimenting with Plastoglass for their dummies. Across the street hangs the shingle of another famous firm, Gibbons, Grace and Golba, Attorneys at Law . They are a fun-loving bunch and are very busy-spending a large part of their time in court: we won't say on which side of the prisoner's dock. Bed Olson now has a long red beard--and it is very becoming! A rich uncle left him a fortune, and he is spending it for his hobby-building model ships out of matches! Have you heard about Buck Daniels' new invention--the Mathematicians Delight? It is made out of Crystolux, that new wonder plastic. The Aristo- crat Adding Automaton for Absent-minded Algebra Addicts . Buck would have made a fortune except that he forgot to take out patent on it, and it is now being enjoyed by the mathematical world at large. I Carol Whiting worked for ten years trying to decompose oxygen. Finally she gave up. However, she is now trying to analyze gold. Good luck, Carol ! When you find the constituents, let us know, too. Ray Warenda has the pleasant job of undertaker in the You Kill 'Em, We Bury 'Em Bureau of Missing People . Ray really meets so many people, and he has a chance to do all the talking! Ted Dickes is a skiing instructor at a winter resort in Canada. He uses those new Resinotron skis, you know, the ski with the double groove . A large part of his clientele seems to be feminine. Now, why could that be? Betty Schram is assistant professor of higher mathematics at Harvard. Her new theories which deal with spherical trigonometric functions have won her much renown. Many fellows are envious of Betty's job-working with so many figures. Alan Brown is a commercial airline pilot. The things he likes best about his routine is that every afternoon at four o'clock the stewardess brings him in his cup of Postum and daily Plastolux K ration. Stewardesses and K rations at 40,000 feet. Pretty soft! Elsie Petras is an elevator operator in the Empire State Building. Though she has her ups and downs, we all know that Elsie will triumph in the end! Cecile Walsh is a Metropolitan singer. Every Tuesday night at nine o'clock she sings over station BOSH. Ray Kensel had a promising career ahead of him as a master electrician but he rnade a devastating error when he wired up an electric chair with alternating current instead of direct--he gave the electrocutioner an awful shock. Electopia, the electrians' union, put his name on its blacklist, and when last heard of, Ray was trying to get into a school specializing in high tension rope! Beab O'Brien is an underground policewoman. That is, she directs the multitudes of subways in New York City. I wonder how many tickets for speeding she hands out! 27

Their motto is Give us the pieces and after we fit the story to- gether, we will make out of it as big a scandal as possible. ,Steven Cichon is owner of a plant which manufactures Saint Bernard Dog equipment. It makes the nicest little Soyatex Lignin brandy kegs you ever saw. Ernie Linderme is in the department which fills the kegs, and believe me, there's nothing synthetic about the stuff he puts in them! lannie McCutcheon has remained a life-guard at Coney Island for senti- mental reasons.

That famous tap dancing team, Lucey, Foley and Lucey, threatens to bring vaudeville back to the days of Fred Allen during the depression.

Ed likes to save them and play with them after hours. Doris Ann Guida is writing novels now, as some of you know. Her latest is The Tragedy of Teresa which has enjoyed a year on the best selling list for 1960, Pretty ripe reading I can tell you. Speaking of books, that reminds me that Mary Barry has really got a novel idea. She has books photographed on that new type- of film, Microtex Photozone, which records a whole book on a single film no bigger than your thumbnail. lt's a modern carryover from that clumsy, old-fashioned V-mail they had about fifteen years ago. Mary has a whole rental library in her flat on Metropolis Avenue with everything from Euclid's treatise on geometry to lack Carlson's cheerleading pamphlet all catalogued. Nice work, Mary.

Helen Petruck has set up an unique business in Tuscon, Arizona. Her sign, Bulls Branded Here hangs on a cactus plant in front of the boarding house she runs. What a business!

She was testing mattresses in Patrick Katzenbloom's Super-deluxe-Used-Furniture Store window until she was voted the Boudoir Baby of l959 .
