handling the affairs of the town. They claim he has earned the right for renomination and point to his large pluralities in winning as an indication the party needs him ct the head of the ticket.
 In 1884 he won by Q vote of 2346 to 1901, 335 plurality and in 1885 he boiled 2,642 votes to 2047 for his Republican opponent, Joseph Q. Raytkwich, his plurality being 4o5. In the first race he defeated Harris Whitternore, Jr.
 In the 1885 election, some Demo- crats feel that the party lost some votes by Democrats voting for Louia Schiller, Jr. town clerk, for who Is popular in both parties but who ran on the Republican slate. They also believe that If The Republicans had tried to run somebody against Tax Collector James Fitzgerald, Demo- crat, they would have been beaten worse as Mir. Fitzgerald is very well liked in both parties here.
 More Peaceful Term
 Thus far Warden Sheridan has had Q more peaceful year then in his first term. The only really con- troversial incident during this ad- was the suprise move in making permanent positions of hcief engineer of the fire depart- ment and other paid men. However Warden Sheridan points out this was done by the state legislature, not locally. Feeling concerning it on the part of 8 combined group of Democrats and Reublicans has died down temporarily at least.
 Tn his first term the warden had many stormy battles, including con- troversies over EZRA expenses but since he and the borough board have had charge of the WPA here, there have bee mo disputes.
 Many Republicans believe War; den Sheridan will be renominated and they are now trying to find someone strong enough to run against him who might have a chance of beating him. This is bound to prove a difficult job as there seems to be many voters here

 Public Welfare
 The financial report of Supt. Leo Scully for the ten months ending January 31 indicates the depart ment is bound to have Q slight defi. cit. Thus far there has been a net expense of $62,457.4l leaving a balance of $7,452.59 for the final two months of the fiscal year. Exxpenses last month were $7,387.99 and if this expenditure is maintained through February and March, $i4,776 would be required.
 Credit Due
 However a credit of over 5000 is expected from the state, the third quarter of the alien credit. This is due to come before the fiscal year ends and will mean the de- partment has at least $i2.452 to take care of expenses for the next two months. A deficit of slightly more than $2,000 is indicated. 6upt. Scully said today the forms for this credit have not yet been receievd from the state.
 Labor is the major item in the expense despite the fact that WPA has taken over some of the depart mental cases. This has cost in the 10 months, $27 ,907.65. Outside poor is next highest. $l7,052.87 Other di- visions follow: Hospitals, $7,225.10: overhead, $6,934.36; Meadowbrook home. $6,O69.5i; children in homes $4,5l8.7l.
 Total gross expense has been $69, ,708.2O but unappropriated in- come consisting of state credits Of $6,970.79 and income from sale of wood of $l90 has reduced this to the net figure stated above.

TIE STORY SO FAR

KAY DUNN, pretty young nurse, s hired as stewardess on Over land Airways and, the same day, meets TED GRAHAM, veteran pilot who flies the trans-PaCiflc route.
 Kay is assigned to the western division of the service. MONTE BLAINE, an apprentice pilot, pays her marked attentions. Monte is daring, romantic, but Kay is more interested in Ted, whom she sees infrequently.
 He telephones one morning and she spends the day with him and DICKIE, his adopted 7-year-OId son. They drive up into the mOun- tains and have B picnic luncheon. Dickie and Kay at once become close friends.
 Kay has been told that Ted Graham worships the memory of his wife who died years before. He tells her frankly that he will never marry again.
 Romance is behind me-" he says. I've my job nOw." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Monte and Ralph were talking and smoking when s she returned. "It's a bad night out for flyers" !" Kay announced.
 Each of the men skivered, feel ing the fog in their bones. we called up some friends" Monte told her. Thought tonight was as good as any for the house. warming"
 "But, Monte, I haven't a thing here to eatl"
 He grinned. 'That isn't the eti- uuet of 8 housewarming here. Guests bring their own refresh ments."
 The bell rang again and Kay thought it must be Monte's friends. Instead 1t was Doris Lee on the threshold.
 "The night plane was ground ed," Doris said. we couldn't leave the airport in this fog, so here I am!"
 Monte appeared in the doorway. ''This is a haven for sailors in 8 storm" he informed her.
 Doris Saluted. "It's a wicked night out, sailor"
 Ralph Bangs was leaning over the radio as Doris entered the liv- ing room. As soon as she saw him she dropped her bag with 8 chatter. "So it's you!" she ex- claimed.
 The young pilot blushed. "Why, Doris"
 Kay said, in surprise, 'Then you know each other?"
 Doris chin lifted firmly. And howl The last time I saw that guy he was flying out of Central airport. For 8 while we were good friends until I began to hear tales about this handsome Romeo and did 8 little investigat- ing. Do you know what I found out? He has girl in every port from Cheyenne to New York! After that the air around Central wasn't big enough for the pair of us. One had to leave and the best man won-so he got out"
 This amiable quarrel lasted until the others began to arrive. They were all members of the flying colony. Kay was glad they accept ed her as one of them; it made her feel that she belonged" With this feeling she went to the win dows and looked out at the thick black fog. Her thoughts swiftly crossed the ocean, picturing the Mariner winging its way perhaps through just such fog and rain and lightning.
 Monte came up beside her. Don't look at the fog!" he said. "Br-r-r! It used to be night mare, but it's not any more on the tranS-Pacific, thanks to Ted. Last week he flew from Honolulu to the mainland and didn't see the ocean after he left Diamond Head. That's progress in the air!"
 There's always be some dan- ger," Kay said.
 Monte shrugged his shoulders repeated, Don't look at the fogl"
