Preacher. Up to the microphones broad-shouldered, coatless, clutching a Bible in his left hand, stepped the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, claimant to the leadership of 6,000,000 Share-Our-Wealthers left him by the late Huey Long. Sweat streamed off his broad face, plastered his shirt against his barrel chest as he swung into his harangue. No mild economic creed was his but a rousing call to arms. Too long, he shouted, had the plain people of the U. S. let Wall Street and Tammany rule them...
Happy and hopeful was Rt. Rev. George Kennedy Allen Bell, personable Lord Bishop of ancient Chichester, England, four years ago, when he composed the foregoing verses to raise money in his Anglican diocese. Unhappy and hard-pressed was the same noble Lord Spiritual last week when he learned that one of his clergy, a 70-year-old-curate from Camelsdale, near Haslemere, named Rev.

Preacher Williams and plump Willie Sue Blagden, Memphis socialite and social worker, got into an automobile, started out for the funeral. They never got there. As they sat in their car in front of an Earle drugstore, sipping Coca-Colas, six well-dressed men drove up, seized them, commandeered their car, forced them to drive a mile outside town...
...contests. To be seen and heard in Minneapolis were the most famed virtuosos of fretted instrumentalism, some of them playing on instruments worth thousands of dollars. Tenor Banjoist Albert Bellson played, for the first time anywhere, Bach's famed Chaconne, which is ordinarily a sombre, magnificent violin showpiece. Rev. Adam F. Hunkler, O.S.B., self-taught Catholic priest, played the five-string finger banjo on the same program with that maestro known to all Hawaiian guitarists, Sophocles Papas. Finally there was "the world's greatest mandolinist," Giuseppe Pettine of Providence, R. I., of whom the official Guild Reporter said...
