airy roads and those who live on dirt
roads have right to expect that these
should be improved" declared Capus
Waynick, chairman of the North

address before the Raleigh Kiwanis

Mr. Waynick said the roadways of
the State are vital to the economic and
social advancement of the people and
he did not blame people for question
ing the ability CT those in charge
to handle the situation.
Yet, be pointed out some serious
problems to be considered. There are

Janet hardly heard what he was
saying. She was watching the
dancers.
"Shall we? ?" he said. Janet got
up to dance.
They threaded their way through
the tables and got to the dance
floor just as the music ended.
Janet turned back to him with a
regretful glance. Better luck
next time" she said and they sat
down again.
"You know. these boys"-he
nodded toward the table where
three gigo1os sat-"would have
many a good opportunity but the
management will not permit them
to make any dates with the
women who come here"
"What boys ?"
'"The gigolos. Boy, am I glad I

jewelry around if I didn't think

'em. Nothing but good looks, no

"All right, Harry, I won't ask
you to hire one for me-" she
laughed.
Janet, slipping her cocktail, eat
ing the delicious tidbits that ar
rived in steady stream, listening
to Harry Devanter's f1attering
comments about herself, thought:
Joel wouldn't really mind it. He'd
be happy to have me have good

bar with another man, what would
Joel think? Oh, know he would

ashamed that she had been mo-
mentarily disturbed by the tele-
phone calls for Joel.

She was looking at the floor
when the first dancers swung out
from a table at the right of the
floor. Janet stared. Then she
leaned forward, feeling herself
tense all over.

knew it was Joel. When he
wheeled expertly, carrying the
thin woman who was MS partner

Her eyes felt hot and she
wanted to cry out to him, knowing
now all that she had not known.
Her blessed baby was a gigclo!
He was ashamed to tell her how

Of his! How he must have hated
what he was doing. Oh, she was
proud of him. She felt rich sud-
denly, protected and secure and
very proud. Her husband wouldn't
let his wife work. He could take
care of his wife. He'd do anything
to prove it.
"Shan we dance now?"
Dance? Oh, Harry, I'm
afraid I can't" She couldn't let
Joel see her there. If Joel didn't
want her to know what he was
doing, she was not going to- hu- !

She was going to say that she
had to hurry home but then she
thought of something, something
that became important. She drew

powdered her nose and touched her
lipstick to her mouth. She fiuffed

handed the card back to her.
Janet read:
"Kurt, please give the bearer a

The American man is a hardy
perennial. Nothing can kill him
before his time-not even the
things he does to himself. Like
the good old honeysuckle vine,
he comes up blooming every

He loads his insides with
beans, pie and pickles in New
England, and with hot-breads
and fried foods in the South.
In New York, he lets the for

melted butter over everything
he orders except his coffee and
ice cream: and he blithely con-
sumes half a dozen rich canapeS
before starting in on the lobster
and steak.
But what no! Then he takes
a soda-mint and awakes in the
morning all ready for his fried
ham and hot waffles.
During all the years Of the
Noble Experiment, he drank
everything poisonous from de-
natured alcohol to needed
champagne, white mule. swamp
whiskey and shellac. Yet his
beautiful, cast-iron stomach
still continued to act-like
stomach.
He rushes around like a
maniac in a high-powered car,
cuts out of line, slips past red

filtration with a truck or
railway train, he lives to tell the

The Proposed Airport

I do not believe the news
papers of Washington have been
entirely nonpartisan in their
comments relative to the Wash
ington airport problem. This is
especially true Of The Times,
which has condemned the Camp
Springs site in many editorials
and cartoons without present
ing the favorable facts of the
proposed site. Those who would
educate the public should know
their subject from all angles.
I do believe that the commit
tee charged with the selection Of
an airport site have fully dis
charged their duty in selecting
Camp Springs.
The almost hundred per cent
safety factor Of a site on high
ground, with clear approaches
from all directions, freedom
from fog and flood and not
crossing congeSted areas Of
population or military air travel,
would well be worth IS minutes
to those travelling the air lines.
The safety Of the American
public should be the first con-
sideration and help to public
carriers should be on a basis of
public interest, impartial and
unbiased.
The committee charged with
the selection of the airport had
the advice Of experts, who
should not be repudiated except
by experts who have no personal
ak to grind.
The advice of pilots would
seem even to a layman as su-
perior to a park planning COM

dent, fails to answer the de-
mands Of safety unless a foul
