ADULT EDUCATION
UNDER DEPARTMENT
Public instruction office To Admins
ter $4,000 and Matching
Federal Funds
Daily dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 1C.-Tne House has
voted a $4,000 appropriation to pro-
vide for a program of adult education
as part of the State public school
system. the first time that the State
has officially recognized such a plan
as deserving of organized State assis-
lance and supervision.
Action was unan;mous despite the
fact that the bill came to the floor on
ly by way of a minority report afteS
a majority Of the appropriations COM
mittee had voted to report it tinfa-
vorably.
Representative B. G. Jones, Swain,
explained the swing from disfavor to
favor by pointing out that the COM
mittee studied the bill Immediately
after a "hot fight on other subjects,
and while members were still seeth-
ing with resentment against other
! groups which had opposed them in
! the committee.
Originally the bill called for an ap-
/ preparation of $4,000 but advocates of
| the minority report Offered early in
the discussion Monday night to &C
cept cut to $4,000. It was explained
though only late in the proceedings
that the State appropriation is only
a small supplement to a Federal
4 grant which one member said will run
about $3.50 for every dollar the State
| puts UP.
This statement headed off some OPP
position which was brewing because
some members felt that even $4,000
if it was to be the total provided for
adult education-would be nothing
more than a drap in the bucket.
Representative Mercer ]. Blanken-
ship, Mecklenburg, had stated that
there are $4,000 illiterate white adults
in North Carolina and added that H.
600 of them are now taking advantage
of the WPA program of adult educa-
Tn.
Advocates of tho program believe
that it will prove OF great value as an
integral par Of the states public
school system under control Of the
states duly selected authorities. They
feel it's chances for Senate passage
are very bright.

done the right thing with his life
He was beginning to see himself
as he was. And he was increasing
ly aware that a young, prettyish
boy named Chris Gaynor was
swiftly ascending the ladder that
he had long dominated and what
it would mean to him. There are
never two kings to reign the popu-
lar market. And if Joel had not
the hold and was not the romantic
choice of the box Office, what else
had he?
With this dawning realization
came another dis m t in z
thought: Janet. He was begin.
ming to see Janet through clearer
eyes. How soon would she see
him for what he was? Without
Janet his life would be lost.
Janet had little need of him, he
thought. She filled up her life
with things that had nothing to do
with him. She had "some sort of
business, as he put it. She was
up and out before he opened his
eyes in the morning. She had a
desk in his unused study where he
saw bits of curtain fabrics, sam
pies of rugs, mats of newspaper
advertising and neat little piles of
notes and sketches.
She was always there when he
came home. She was always fresh,
sweet and lovely for him at the
dinners she took a child-like de-
light in serving as surprises for
him.
But he knew, as his taxi speeded
him across town, that in a few
minutes she would be off some
where with her new friends.
Friends of Russell Bede's. She al
ways told him about them. But
she was vague about table tennis
at someone's house or, 1--WE
went to the book fair" or,
"You wouldn't have cared for it,
Joel, but it was rather fun watch
ing him work out the problems"
He wasn't jealous thinking of
them. He did have an indescrib-
able emotion that was compounded
of hurt and annoyance and self
admission that he hadn't been able
to fill her life.
They were growing apart and he
didn't like it. Once they had never
made move without consulting
each other and that was the way
to live.
In the dim light of the overhead
bulb in the taxi, he consulted his
small engagement book and dis
covered that he had promised to-
drop in at Mabel Newbold's imme-
diately after the performance. He
felt a pleasant glow of anticipa-
ton.
Mabel Newbold was a wealthy
young widow who had written him
a mash note on her crested sta
tionery. But it was mash note
so smartly written he had been
unable to resist answering it. The
answer had led to a cocktail date
and tonight he was invited to her
apartment to party. There would
be a social register crowd there.
He had meant to tell Janet about
it but Janet had said something
about going to the >Planatarium
with Russell Bede and ON some
where later and he had forgotten
to tell her his plans. That was the
way that Janet and Joel were
drifting.

CHAPTER Al

RI WAS fortunate for Janet
PAINTER that she welcomed Russell
Bede back into her life as FRIEND
that year. He had much to Offer
her that she needed.
It was Russell who was her prop
when she had financial worries
Russell. not Joel, who appreciated
the thrill she got when she studied
the figures and profit on the the
alter at GranniS. 1t was Russell
who Gained her perturbation over
Joel's play. And it was Russell
who offered her work that was to
occupy her mind.
The play was the first worry
that she asked Russell to share
with her.
After six weeks of rehearsal, at
the very moment the play was
scheduled to open, a play doctor
was called in to make revisions.
There was something radically
wrong and Joel shared the pro-
ducer's worries.
Finally it opened in Philadelphia
and received bad notices. Joel was
moody, cross and worried. Janet
understood his moods and re-
spected them. She didn't know
until she saw the play what was
wrong with it.
The trouble was in Joel himself.
She saw the opening with Rus
sell and when it was over and they
went backstage to congratulate
the cast, you would never have
known that her heart was filled
with tears.
Her husband was not great
actor. He was competent" but he
was, in the parlance of the theater,
a ham!
He overacted and he underacted.
He gave a performance that would
have been notable on the screen
but which was valueless on the
stage. Janet was sick about it.
No one would ever have known it.
When the reviews were out a
few hours later, she staunchly
agreed with Joel that the critics
didn't know acting when they saw
it. And prayed that the play
would survive in spite of the odds
against it, in spite of the cutting
reviews. The reviews were not as
unkind about Joel as they might
have been. The critics respected
Joel's popularity and personal
charm.
In a week it was obvious that
the play would survive. The public
wanted to see Joel Paynter in per-
son and paid to do it.
Joel recovered his aplomb and
was his jaunty self. Not that Joel
was the jaunty type but Janet was
pleased to label. his release from
worry by that name. When the
seats began selling weeks in adj
vance, he was optimistic again but
he wouldn't talk about his plans
for the future.
He took the news about the little
theater in Grannis without any
outward sign of rejoicing. He was
still thinking in terms of $4,000 a
week and he couldn't work up
much excitement about the $4,000
that had been cleared in profits in
the season at Grannis.
Janet had been thrilled to death
about it. She had gone up to the
Cape to visit the Cartoons and

spend the closing week there, hap
PLY discussing plans for the next
season. The little theater move
ment was beginning to interest
some of the first people of the the.
alter and several opportunities haC
been offered them for the next sea.
son. The Carletons were excited
about a play that had been offered
by a sensational new young play
wright and they wanted Janet tC
read it. They began to talk about
exploitation and reviews and en-
larging the organization. If their
plans met with the Paynters' ap-
prevail, they were going to make
plans to return the next season,
otherwise, they would not come
north. Leslie had been offered the
! management of small theater in
Florida and for the first time since
their marriage, Mary was antici-
pating spending a winter with her
husband. It was to be on part
nership basis and Leslie was to
collect half the profits. They
hoped to make such success of
it that they could make their per-
manent home in Florida, but they
wouldn't let the Paynters down
and if Janet wished it, they would
make arrangements to return the
following summer.
Janet arranged for decorating
changes to be made and left the
matter in allegiance. She wanted
to talk it over with Joel but Joel
was deep in his new work and had
little interest in it. Anything that
Janet wanted done was okay with
him, he said.
So Janet put that in the back
ground of her mind. She had
something else with which to oc-
cupy her thoughts. Russell Bede
had again become interested in the
merchandising plans she had told
him about during the previous
summer. Again he offered her a
job.
He needed those plans, he said,
in his shops. Would Janet work
them out relative to the merchan-
disc to be sold and the particular
needs of the communities in which
they were being sold? He offered
her a salary that was pin money
to Joel but represented a great
sum to her because it meant that
she had done a good job worth so
much.
Of course, she said she couldn't
do it without JoePs consent and
she had no reason to feel that Joel
had changed his mind about his
wife having a career.
Surprisingly enough, Joel had no
objections. He tWeaked her ear,
kissed her on the nose and told her
to go ahead. She might as well
have some fun with her pencils and
papers and bits of fabric as to
spend all her time playing bridge"
If it was pastine, he hoped she'd
have a good time.
There was something in Joeps
mind then that Janet didn't know
about. She didn't know about the
long sleepless nights that he spent
staring into the darkness and try
ing to take stock of himself. Joel
was beginning to come out of the
mist he had lived in for four years,
a mist that had begun long before
that. There were things that
frightened him. He was facing a
question that many men before him
had come upon suddenly. Had he
