SYNOPSIS

Lovely Fanchon Meredithis wanted
by. the San Francisco police in con-
nection with a murder committed by
her sweetheart, Tony" Fanchon
did not know he was gunman. She
escapes by airplane under the name
of Smith" Aboard is Evelyn How
ard, whom Fanchon had met on a
voyage from Hawaii. Evelyn is 60
ing to New York to live with her
aunt, the wealthy Mrs. Carstairs,
whom she never saw. The plane
crashes and Fanchon is the only sur
vivor. To get away from Tony and
the past, she goes to the Carstairs
home as Evelyn" A strong bond of
affection grows between Mrs. Car
stairs and her niece" Collin Car
stairs, the son, is at first antagonistic
because of his cousins" Hawaiian
escapades and her self-righteous at
titude when his mother offered aid,
but Fanchon's sincerity overcomes
his objections. They fall in love.
After a happy summer at Southamp-
ton, Fanchon makes her debut in
New York. Collin, though realizing
their relationship is barrier, cannot
resist processing his love. Fanchon
cannot acknowledge hers without re-
vealing her identity. Later, a threat
ening note comes from Tony. She
visits him and repulses his advances.
Tony informs Fanchon that Evelyn
is alive, but has lost her memory.
He threatens to expose Fanchon un-
less she introduces him to Mrs. Car
stairs as "Cesare Gill;" Although
claiming he has Evelyn in his apart
ment, Tony refuses to let Fanchon
see her. Two days later, he calls at
the Carstairs home. Collin and his
mother are skeptical about him be-
cause of Fanchon's strained attitude
in his presence.

MANDAN NEWS
Will CONSIDER PLAN
TO MPOUND RIVERS
Expect to Set up Organization
For Furthering Project
West Of River

Representatives of civic organiza-
lions from several towns in western
North Dakota will meet at Mandan
Thursday to set up an organization to
further proposed project to impound
waters In the Heart and Knife rivers.
Clifford Arnold, secretary of the
Mandan Chamber of Commerce, said
the organization would urge the fed
eral government to make an exhaus-
tive survey OF the rivers to determine
the feasibility Of the project.
The project has been under con-
sheraton for number of years,
Arnold said, and the meeting, has
been called to bring about concerted
action on the part Of communities
affected.
The building Of dams would work
to the advantage OF the people of
midwestern North Dakota, Arnold
said. Under the program as tenta-
lively outlined, q dam would be con-
structed few miles south Of Glen
Ullin. Near the dam site is a tract
Of land suitable for conversion into an
artificial lake. Water diverted at
flood times could be used to fill the
lake.
Another proposal expected to be
given consideration IS the impound-
ing Of the waters Of the Knife river
in Mercer county. Benefits from this
project are expected to be similar to
those expected to result from Heart
river dam at Glen Ullin.
While nothing definite has been
done in connection with either pro-
ject, an organization will be set up
to start immediate action in connec-
ton with the proposals.
Representatives from Glen Ullin,
New Salem, Hebron, Beulah, and sew
eral other communities in the west
ern part Of the state will be at the
meeting, Arnold said.
