CHAPTER XIV
Joe stood there, looking at her,
looking at them all, rocking
slightly, his breathing deep. After
a moment he spoke. "The point
is this" he said. "And get it. I'm
pretty good guy when they're
with me. When they're against
me. Pm tough. Pm made that way
and | like it. I'm tough tonight
and I'm tellingyou; the next time
Pm tough / won't be telling you.
But anybody - father, mother,
grandparents or pope-that names
my wife out of turn, will know II
without being told! That's all
Don't forget"
He wheeled and marched out OF
the room, and he was white OF
face.
Immediately after that Joe
walked, walked, walked. There
was a hard, hard, undigeSted
thought inside him. 1t was Devil
dering, it hurt. He had no right
to feel the hurt. He could be sore,
perhaps, but not hurt. He was
both.
Another of Theresa's lieSp
What all did that mean? That
he had been tricked? Well, was
that news? She had almost plain
" told him she would, if neces-
sary. He went into it with open
eyes. He had no kick coming.
Still, it had the power to hurt,
Joe walked, walked, and in his
own way came to rationalize the
values involved. He was that kind
of man. He was impulsive when
he saw a thing clearly, and he
was willing to work it out when
he did not. The only thing cloud
ing this, it seemed, was mis- own
conceit. He was kidding himself.
Only a sap does that. He knew
where he stood. If she lied to him,
it was for reason salready well
known to him. She needed him,
wanted him-and she got him.
In the face of that simple for
mula, Joe's hurt and Joe'S anger
both wilted and slowly ceased to
be. He could not resent her
need. 1t was not in him. His real
deep resentment was for wanton
lies, wanton malice, such as had
first sent him forth tonight. For a
moment his original grievance
had been almost forgotten. 1t was
simply, that Tommy Withers had
talked. In mere neighborhood ac-
quaintance he had encountered
Terry's father on the street, and
that hollow, spiteful old fool had

tiles are planned.
Sixty-fve WPA workers from
Henderson county under the SUI
pervision of X. c. Minor, junior
architect and recreation assistant
for the forestry service, are en-
ployed on the project. The work
IS expected to be completed by
January | and when finished this
recreation area will be one of the
largest and most elaborate in the
national forests of this section.
The spot was once the location
of CCC camp which was ADAM
doned two years ago. Workers be-
gan tearing down the buildings
and constructing the playground
conveniences about year and a
half ago. H. E. Ochsner, super
visor OF PlSgah National forest,
is in general charge of the work.

uated only a short distance from
Hendersonville, it possesses much
rugged natural beauty. Foresters

other preserves on the site. thru
out last fall. While the CCC camp
was located there a herd of rs
deer frequently browsed around
it in early evenings.
North Mills river flows directly
through the area. The swimming
pool was formed by building a
dam across this stream and dig
ging a channel through which the
bulk of the water may be divert
ed. At the widest point the pool
measures 100 feet and it is APP
proximately 200 feet in length.
Since the water flows Immediate
ly from national forest lands, il
is regarded as being absolutely
pure.
Nine trailer spurs have been
built, each of which is furnished
with a table, fireplace, wood and
dry we'll for disposing of gar
bage. Trees and shrubs have been
planted around each site SO that
a person cannot see from one to
the other. Similar arrangements
have been made for the ten spots
where tents may be pitched.
There are also ample furnishings

Talk? Joe snorted. Talk was
cheap. You could push around
and make trouble for people who

was words and no one was hurt
in the end.
What had stung. for a little
while, was that knifelike thought:

But the hurt was soon gone
with the anger. This Jos Murray
was a peculiar man, with a hard
ness in him and a womanly soft
ness together. Thought flowed in
him long and deep, like a river
that rolls and races furiously
down to the final dark peace of
the sea. There was no anger in
him at the end of his long walk.
If he had been tricked, then he
melted at the thought of Terry's
need of him. She had wanted
him that badly. He had been will
ing before; he could be the same
again. Nothing had changed.
So he told himself, turning
homeward. But life always
changes, going on, even as
eharlatan fooling you before your
very eyes. Joe was gentle with
Terry when he came in; ne told
her what he had heard today and
what ne had done tonight, leaving
out only what he had learned to-
night. He need not tell her that.
He was glad to be with her and
not alone.
But i'm the reaches of the night
there came loneliness that he
could not fathom, that was new
and unaccountable and cold, like
a wind from the north with the
tidings of winter.
It was almost Il premonltlon.

EDUCATIONAL WORK TO
SECURE STERILIZATION

To date, twenty-eight hotels, res
taurants and food handling establish

places inspected have been very good.
Each week several inspections are
made of places not previously inspect
ed and it is hoped that even more
places will request certificate and
be inspected.
Prominent among the activities of
the Sanitary Inspector has been edu-
cational work to insure the proper
sterilization of drinking glasses, eth

chlorine solutions. AS check on the
adequacy of methods now used, bac-
THEOLOGICAL studies will be made this

The Health Department wishes to
call attention to the need for proper
care in handling garbage. The help
should be instructed to put all garbage
in covered cans. The cans should be
kept in a screened place adequately
protected from flies and the place
should be kept clean.
The following places have met the
sanitary requirements of the Health
Department and have been granted
certificates: Adelphia Restaurant, At

SUMMER The BEST

That summer is the best season of
the year for Scouting is being amply
demonstrated this year in the Del
Mar-Va Council. A capacity Rodney
Scout Camp enrolment, news of sew
eral Troop Camps, and of tours, trips
and overnight camps by many other
Troops, proves the popularity OF camp
ing as a major summer activity.
The summer program for Winning
ton Scouts offers welcome opportunity
for Scout get-togethers. The first
event, swimming meet at Price Run
Pool, attracted the largest crowd ever
seen at a Scout swim meet. And did
the boys enjoy it!
The district campfires, baseball trip
to Philadelphia and the second SWIM
ming meet at Candy Pool was just as
popular.
Even though the Rodney Scout
Camps may be full, camping capacity
is only 200, while the Del-Mar-Va
Council Scout enrolment is well over
5000! Why not Summer Scouting?
Each year more Troops maintain a
summer schedule of meetings, build
ing their programs around the dis
trict activities planned ! the Sum-
mer Program COMMITTEE Some look
forward to summer as time for va
cation from Scouting. ut how about
the Scouts who look f ward to sum-

Gated S7,1OO for dredging Broad
creek, Somerset County.
Recently leading citizens and water
men of Crisfield, Pocomoke City and
Smith Island called on Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough to request the chief of engineers
to restore the channel in the creek.
It was cited that shoaling of the

seriously interfered with the move
ment of sea food and pleasure craft,
and urged that these shoals be remov-
ed.
The chief of engineers has advised
Mr.. Goldsborough of san examination
of Broad Creek from which it appears
shoaling has taken place to such an
extent as to interfere with the move
ment of boats making use of the
waterway

made available to district engineer
at Baltimore with which to carry out
