SHORT SHORT
STORY
Complete in This Issue

she let her hair fall loosely to her
shoulders. It softened her face and
lent lovely glow to her cheeks and
eyes.
One afternoon, as she lay in bed
gazing through the open window at
the blue skies, she heard voices in
the yard below.
Anna sat up and looked eagerly at
the door. Slowly it opened and a
cheerful voice said: "Your mother
told me to come right up. I've come
to visit you and bring you some
thing"
Don Roberts, the high school
hero! He had come to visit her! In
that moment her hero worship
turned into something deeper and
finer, and she welcomed him with
pleasure and surprise. Don was
quite as startled as she, but only
because she looked so pretty.
"Gosh, Anna," he said, "you look
awfully pretty with your hair down
like that, and everything"
Then, suddenly, he remembered
something. With half-smile and
haf-puzzled look on his face, he
drew a small candy box out of his
pocket. Then he grinned and said:
Here, Anna, is something some OF
the fellows elected me to bring to
you. I hope you'll like it."
Anna thrilled with the laughter in
his eyes. No one had ever before
been so kind to her. Her eyes
flashed with delight and her fall
was complete.
"For me?" she asked. So she
took the box, opened it quickly, and
gazed petrifed at it's contents: a
big lemon!
Then Don laughed and laughed.
For one agonizing moment Anna
thought she would cry. Then:
THANK you, Don, and thank the
others. It's nice to be remem-
bered."
When Don left her he was imme-
diately joined by half dozen
youths. "What happened?" they
asked. "What'd she say?"
"Say?" he was full of admiration
for Anna. "She's a sport! She said,
Thank you, Don, and thank the 9TH
ers. It's nice to be remembered.
Gee, she's awfully pretty"
From that day Don began to pay
attention to Anna. He walked near
her, talked at her, invited her to ev-
cry conceivable event, but was cold
ly snubbed in every case. Inciden-
tally, Anna was wearing her hair
curled softly about her face. Don
persisted in his attentions even after
he had graduated from college.
Though she had forgiven the lemon
episode, she seldom encouraged
him. Finally he left for position
in New York. That was more
than a year ago. Meanwhile Anna
lived the life of the average Amer
lean girl.
Now as she sat in the same little
room staring happily at letter and
picture in her hand she thought back
over the past few years. The third
big thing was coming into her life!
Don was in a position to get mar
ried and wanted her for his wife.

SCHOOL NEWS
Fire!
A. E. GUSTAFSON, County Supt.

Fire!
Beware of oily, dirty, dusty, rags
or paper placed in closed containers
or in unventilated closets. Fire thus
starts from slow oxidation or bac-
terra action and is known as spon-
taneous combustion. Perhaps the re-
cent Pine City school building fire
may have been thus caused. A small
fire apparently started in this way
in the Hinckley school building not
long ago. 1t occurred in the day
time and was discovered in time
All matches should be stored in glass
or tin containers away from mice
An ounce of prevention is better than
a fire. Prevent fires at home and
at school.
Rural Declam Dates.
Most rural schools expect to again
have some sort of local declamatory
or speaking (also music) exercises
to choose someone to take part al
their respective sectional contests
The winner of each of the eight Sec
tional contests will take part in ou1
county contest where we choose one

It's the newest of the old stories of the
Holy Land: The shattering explosion;
the reverberating echo; the siren of am
bulance and police cars; the panic -strick-
en- rush away from the scene, and the
timid return, to watch mangled bodies
being carried away.
It's scene that might be plucked
from Spain or China. A time bomb,
carefully planted in crate of oranges
in a crowded market place, has the
same effect as bomb smacking into
a crowded street from the air. A worse
effect, almost, because there is no warn
ing, no expectancy. Fifty pounds of
gelignite, packed into an iron pipe, makes
a crude bomb, but it can do lot of
damage.
Against background of armored cars
and machine-guns and simmering politi-
cal passions you see the faces of modern
day Palestine; faces drawn from all parts
of the world, and all rejecting both old
environment and new.

Land mine?" you ask. Your chauf-
feur mods quick assent.
1t gives you perfect picture of what
these land mines can do to a motor
car or truck. Exploded as the front
wheels pass over. Exploded with suf-
ficient force at times to send car or
truck practically somersaulting through
the air. Without warning. With no
chance to escape. Even an armored
car has no defense against this.
Your hotel balcony looks out over
a small ravine, studded with gnarled
olive trees, against the old, lichen-
grown walls of the old city of Jerusa-
lem. Outwardly, it's peaceful scene.
But the sound of rifle shots and loud
shouting interrupt your unpacking. You
step out on the balcony and almost at
your feet you see two long-coated police
men shooting at an unseen target.
Somewhere, from behind the trees, an
Arab woman chatters shrilly, protest.

From behind the trees, around which
sheep are grazing, an Arab youth comes
forth with his hands held high over
his head In token of surrender. The
police search him. They chase and catch
another Arab boy, one no more than 10
years old. The Arab woman stops her
shrilling and protestations. The old Arab
unloading sacks of coal for the hotel
goes YEARLY back to his labors. Some

the evidence of that is everywhere.
You step out of an airplane at the
modern LYDIA Airport, 40 miles north
west of Jerusalem, and find yourself
staring at the polished propellors of a
row of Royal Air Force pursuits.
You move away and find yourself
staring at group Of squat, powerful
armored cars with machine guns on
swivel turrets.
They send you to building to get a
permit to travel the highways and you
lean against rack of army rifles while
a soldier-clerk, with ink-stained fingers
and with an automatic at his elbow.

guaranteed to make you reflect. There's

1t all.

at you quickly and says, Lots of trouble
now" in softly intoned English, and lets
it go at that.
He heads his car into the winding, hilly,
history soaked road to Jerusalem. It's a
road Of barbed wire around important
buildings and sandbagged terraces where
British soldiers keep guard.
You pass through Ramleh, one of the
last strongholds of the Crusaders.
Through these scrubby, barren hills, you
reflect, the soldiers of Napoleon marched.
Now you have British army trucks and
British guns.
At curve in the road you pass the
charred chassis Of truck, grotesquely
twisted. It was not placed there, it was
hurled there. by violent explosion.
