Having made my living (from time to time!) in radio acting and announcing for the past twelve years, it seems incredible that I should feel the slightest curiosity about a fellow Afra member! But I do, and that fellow is Westbrook Van Voorhis, whom you fellows were smart enough to sign up exclusively for the MARCH OF TIME broadcasts.

The royal pair roamed through Washington and Manhattan, wound up in a super-swanky suite at the Waldorf. Up came smart, progressive General Foods Chairman Colby Mitchell Chester. They talked. When Foodman Chester left he beamed with the Duke's graciousness, was amazed at his business know-how. On a Monday morning three days later the Duke & Duchess limousined to General Foods' Park Avenue office, looked over the company...
