PROPHECY.
Ten years from now we will find New Hope the largest city in Wood County. With a hospital that will make the Baylor Hospital seem like an infant. Billie Phillips will be an experienced nurse in the hospital. Forest Turbeville will be our great doctor. Marilea Zager will be the singing star of the largest night club in New Hope. LaNelle Wheeler will be married to her army man and living on the Pacific Coast. Kenny Smith will be flying his own plane and landing in the largest airport in New Hope. Olean Laminack will be running for president of the U.S. Ruby Lee Chreitzberg, our old maid, will be arranging flowers in her beautiful New Hope botanical garden. C.R. Mabus will be preaching the gospel in the First Baptist Church of our great city. Maevon Belcher will be sitting at the typewriter with her eyes on the boss. Tommy Hooks will be riding the range with Gene Autry. We shall find Lorene Palmer one of our great models. We find Gladys Courtney our actress.
