PAI?TISAN REVIEW
Peasner turned his Radio Eye on her, and was a leader in the
younger crowd.
Everyone knew about her, so it was very natural for people
to be interested when the papers came out and said 1\Ilr. Peasner
had received a message from Bobbie's dead mother and was
trying to persuade Bobbie to come up to the college and receive
it.
Every morning people looked anxiously in their papers to
find out
If
Bobbie Rawlins had gone up and received the message
from her dead mother. There was something about it in the
big newspapers every day. Bobbie Rawlins and Mr. Peasner's
pituitary gland and Radio Eye were on the front page for
weeks. The news about them took people's minds off their own
troubles. Even those who had been laid off in factories and
those in the slums of our city were interested because they want–
ed Bobbie Rawlins to go up and get that message from her
mother, so they could have their curiosity satisfied.
And one day she did. No one knows why she was per–
suaded to do so. People say many things. Some say there was
something in Bobbie's life she didn't want published in the news–
papers, others say her old great-aunt persuaded her to go be–
cause she wished to hear what her niece Bobbie's mother had
to say from th e dead.
One morning the paper had headlines saying that Bobbie
had gone up to the College of King Arthur and received the
message through Mr. Peasner's Radio Eye from the Realms of
Higher Frequency.
And the message Bobbie received from her mother was
that she must join the college and take the classes, and her best
young man must become a Gold Shirt of America. So Bobbie
joined and all her crowd followed. It was front page news.
Some of her crowd got out later, and don 't belong any
more. But many other people do because of her example. Part
of her group stayed in and they are Mr. Peasner's standbys.
The college is growing, young and old learning how to be good
