The day nurse came round the
corner-dark blue, and an apron,
and a much more becoming cap
not young, but rather good-looking.
Nesta Riddell said her piece again.
i've come about my husband.
There was a radio message to say
that a man had been picked up in
the fog"
"Oh yes. And you think he is your
husband?"
my brother wrote the message

The state highway commission
can furnish most Of the materials
needed for these projects and also

enough funds available to hire the
trucks that will be needed. Inc
cost of materials will be very
small. since most of the projects
will call only for sand. gravel or
