 She drove her car to Diane's bungalow. Diane was standing on the porch. I've got Mrs. Cooks nurse watsching the baby. Isn't it swell of her to send her over when I want to go out?" Mrs. Cook the wife of a commander had three children of school age. Diane said "The girl loves little babies and those kids over there are too big to be cuddled."
 It was a sunny morning warm, but not too warm for comfort. Judy felt her spirits lift little as they rode into town. Perhaps she did need to get out more. She felt lit tie surge of gratitude toward Diane. She said, smiling, I'm going to be painfully honest about every hat you try on, Di."
 They parked the car, and walked into one shop after another. Diane confessed, T really hoped to find something. luscious = reduced to about two ninety five"
 But they found nothing that suit ed them, and so at 12 o'clock they bought the diapers for little Billy and a knit gown. "Now, let's eat!"

 Diane murmured, "One dollar for lunch. If I'd go hungry, that would be an extra dollar I could spend on the hat"
 "This is my treat " said Judy.

CHAPTER VIII

In the days that followed Judy Alcott tried to forget Jack Hanley'S face tried to forget the impassion- ed way he had begged her to mar " him. The shock of discovery that he was in love with her had set in motion the many memories she wanted to bury.
 While she trod the painful ter ritory. of these memories she could- nit rid herself of Dwight's face. She saw his eyes and his smile and she felt again the touch of his hands. She couldn't forget the way they had kissed and over and over again she saw the deck of the Texarkana and heard his voice the night he told her he was going to marry Marvel.
 She tried to keep herself busy. She did little errands for her mother she played bridge with Diane Bell and the group of navy wives on the station. She drove into town occasionally and slipped into 8 movie house, to forget her own problems in the problems of the shadows on the screen. But she never wholly forgot.
 The marriage of Dwight and Marvel was coming closer. In common decency, she would have to go. But she hated the thought. There had been a few parties given for the bride on the sta tion, and at each, Marvel had scored no better than she had the night at Alcotts'.
 Judy had not seen Jack since the night he asked her to marry him. She was curiously eager to see him, disturbed because he did not call or come. Yet with another part of her, she was glad. She had to fight this thing out. She did not love him. She knew, des- perately, that it was still Dwight she loved. She hungered for him despite the certain knowledge that he was Marvels. She knew, as she felt her heart pounding with longing for Dwight's arms around -anything!-to have him back.
 ahe was wandering about the house one morning, thinking the same futile things over and over, when the phone rang. Her heart leaped. Maybe 1t was Jack! She would see him. She had not treated him well. Even though she could not marry him their friend- ship had meant great deal and she missed him.
 But 1t was not Jacks voice that answered her Hello" It was Diane Bell She said crisply I'm going downtown shopping and I thought you'd like to come" She did not say that Judy had been down in the dumps lately and needed to be revived but 1t was there in her voice.
 "Shopping?" Judy said uncer- tainly. "Ethere's really nothing I need"
 ~Get on your best bib and tucker ordered Diane. Were going to buy baby pants and 8 new hat for me. We'll have lunch in the Paradise. Now come on"
 So Judy said, "All right. Be ready in half an hour"
 She took a bath and dressed carefully. Diane was right. She ought to get out more, do things. have her attention distracted. She wondered 8 little shamedly just how much Diane knew. It was Diane who had said. T naturally matched you up with the best bet on the lot. Jack Hanley."
 When she was dressed, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face seemed thinner than be- fore. But 1t was still heart shaped and comedy. And her eyes, blue under the long lashes, were cool. They looked back at her, and if

Cubo's Sugar Cane Posses 4OOth Anniversary

SUGAR CANE was first brought - to Cuba from Santo Domingo. It is believed that the sugar cane industry, today Cuba's greatest. got under way about l535 in the West Indies island. By l700 there were nearly 100 plantations witk an average production of about i00 tons each.
 But the use of slaves gave the real impetus to the industry dur. ing the next few decades, although mechanical progress was slow. Then in 1880 slavery was abol. ished. At that time there were more than 1900 mills in operation, producing 100000 tons of sugar.
 The advent of the machine usii. cred in the next era in Cuba's sugar industry. At the turn of the century mills numbered only 470, with the same production as in 1880. Today about l60 mills grind at the height of the season and Cuba produces one-fourth of the sugar used in the world.
 Preferential tariff treatment exc tended by the United States in 1908 gave the industry its great. est boost of all time. Production shot up from about 100000 tons to 2,500,000 tons in 1913 and q, ,000, GOO tons during the World War. In 1925, 5000, ,000 tons werc produced and marketed. There. after, however, declining prices pulled production down to 5000. 600 tons in 1881. and today under

HATTERS SCORE AGAIN IN FIGHT
A AINST RUNAWAY SHOPS

Chicago QLNS).-Another victory
has been won by the United Hatters,
Cap and Millinery Workers Internati-
onal Union in its fight against run
away shops.
In a preliminary decision by David
f. Smith, trial examiner for the Nati-
onal Labor Relations Board, the Muir
ray Hat Co., of De kalb, ILL.,, has been
found guilty of violating the National
Labor Relations Act.
The company had been in business
in Chicago under the name of the
kronthal Manufacturing Co. To escape
the union, it moved to De kalb, where
it opened a non-union shop but again
encountered stiff opposition from the
union, which followed it to its new
place of business, called a strike, and
picketed the shop.
The trial examiner recommended
dissolution of the company union and
cancellation of its contract with the
company, reinstatement of eight en-
ployes fired for union activities, with
back pay from the time of their dis
charge last February, and immediate
reinstatement, upon application, of all
strikers, and displacement, if neces-
sary, Of STRIKE breakers To make room
for the strikers.

THANKSGIVING GAME
Members Told To Have Fill
Of Turkey. Football and
Go To Meeting

Minerva, O.-Local Union No. 70
held their regular meeting Friday,
November II. All officers were pres
ent and large percentage of the
members, but the business session was
brisk and not very lengthy. Three
new members were initiated into the
local, leaving but one ware boy to be-
come member. Just put on a little
pressure and we will have a 1000
organization. An apprenticeship ques-
tion came from the packing shed and
a settlement has not been made as yet.
A very heated discussion arose over
the practice of carrying delinquent
members. 1t seems as though some
feel we owe debt to the ones who
won't pay up. l don't believe in pro-
tecting the Stacker when the field is
so full of willing workers. Some of
our members have been faithful for
from ten to twenty years and we keep
them out of jobs by taking care of the
fellows who don't care about their OBJ
legations or benefits. Well from now
on it's out! This is the final notice. All
delinquents have until December 81 to
pay up and get themselves in good
standing or out they go. The local
has cried "pay up" too often and then
let the penalty slide, but this time it
goes through. See your defense col
lector and make arrangements to
start the New Year with a clean
slate.
A few faces, too seldom seen in our
hall, appeared last meeting night.
Make it habit folks, you will find it
a congenial gathering also an in
structive one. Remember the roll call,
the first meeting of December is nom-
ination of officers. Come on out, one
and all.
The Minerva Merchants play Nc
Keesport Turkey Day, that will be
some football game. So fill up on
turkey, see the game, but don't for
get to come to local the next evening.
Until then.-O. G.. 70.
