viously. She prayed. too. that
Peters attention would divert
Marcia. She'll see I'm no wall
flower. She doesn't need to force
Jimmy to dance with me"
But after she had danced sew
eral times with Peter she saw
Marcia nudging Jimmy. Linda
grabbed her vanity case. she stood
up. Excuse me. I she ran
for the ladies' lounge.
That was only a respite. She
might have known she couldn't
escape forever. The moment she
had dreaded came at last. Jimmy
, Cooper was bending over her.
May I have this dance ?"
TIN tired" she whispered
He said quietly, Il won't bite
you"
SO she stood up and slipped into
his arms. while Marcia regarded
them both affectionately.
Linda had known that dancing
with Jimmy would be torture.
But she had not known that 1t
would be heaven, too. The music
walled and sobbed around them,
and the touch OF his arms raced
through her in fire and ice. She
tried to keep a fixed smile pinned
to her lips, but against her Will
her mouth quivered.
His hand on her back was
gentle. and he guided her surely
and expertly. But she couldn't
bear it any more. A soft sob broke
from her. please, no more"
They were standing perfectly still
while the music rose poignantly
and unbearably. For a long mo-
ment. there was no one else IN
all the world but their two selves.
shall we go out on the porch -
he was asking, his voice curiously
hoarse.
They shouldn't go. Yet she was
walking beside him like a girl IN
trance.
The night was seductively beau
tiful. There was a great white
moon, the palms swaying in the
wind. There was the breath of
sweetness around them like a
cloud of magic. And he was so
close to her. So terribly close.
She couldn't think, she couldn't
fight any more.
wv e hou mt h - we
shouldn't" she burst out.
II know" he said miserably.
But, Linda-I've fought until l
can't deny it, even to myself, any
more. l haven't slept. 1 look at
Marcia and she's still the same as
she always was. She loves me.
It's like knife in my heart to
know she trusts me. But 1 can't
take her in my arms any more.
l can't tell her I love her any
more. The whole world has
changed. There's nothing but you.
I see your face up there in the
clouds when l ought to be con-
centrating on the way my student
is flying. I hear your voice every
where. It's driving me crazy!
We've got to do something"
He had no right to put it into
words! While it had been only a
mirage, beautiful and unreal, beck
oning and yet threatening. she had
still the courage to run from it..
But now these words of his made
it solid, unacceptable.
Listen" she jerked out. Even
il there weren't Marcia-even if l
weren't engaged myself couldn't
jimmy, you're a flier. A man
whose career is devoted TO war.
And I'm a peaeeloving girl. A
pacifist. if you like. l hate your
work! And-and I hate you for
being in it, so there"

Navy Volunteers Sought
For Antarctic Trip

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy is asking for about 125
volunteers from among it's personnel
to man the historic ship Bear of
Oakland for prospective voyage
to the Antarctic this fall.
1t is not settled yet, officials said
today, that the Bear will make the
trip with the Government expedi-
ton to be led by Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd, but the time is so
short the crew must be ready in
advance of decision.
Congress authorized the Navy to
charter and commission the stout
65-year-old vessel, which went with
Admiral Byrd to the Antarctic on
his last expedition.
1t was as Navy ship that the
Bear first came to fame more than
half century ago. Then an Arctic
whaler, she was bought by the Navy
in 1884, manned by volunteers and
sent on a successful venture to the
North to rescue members of the
marooned Greeley Expedition.
The Interior Department, in
charge Of the expedition, already
has arranged for the Coast Guard
cutter Northland and the depart
ment's own Arctic vessel North Star
to transport the Byrd party. The
plan is for these, and possibly the
Bear, to return and later make a
second voyage to bring back the
expedition.

'Diphtheria Is
Curbed In Ashe
Death Rate Lowered by Vac
cinatiOns Given by Health
Department.
By DIR. ROBERT KING

The State of North Carolina,
at it's last legislative session,
passed bill requiring all infants
between 6 months and l year of
age to be vaccinated against
diphtheria. This is one of the pro-
jects that your Health Depart
ment has been working at for the
past year and many have taken
advantage of the opportunity Of
fered.
The younger the child, the
more dangerous diphtheria is to
it's life, but only too many pa
rents wait until a case occurs in
the neighborhood before remem-
boring the need of their child, not
realizing that it takes time for
the vaccine to build up the child's
resistance to the disease.
Last year Ashe County had Is
cases of diphtheria and several
deaths. Each of these deaths was
unnecessary. Each child was not
only personal loss to it's fami-
ly, but an economic loss to the
county as we'll. Can we afford to
waste these young lives which
are the future hope of Ashe
county!
The cost to the county of the
Health Department for one year
is more than repaid with each
child's life saved to the county.
Let us awake to the fact that we
can stamp out this menace to our
childhood and see that every
child receives it's right to pro-
lection against this curse to our
homes.
Our intelligence is challenged.
What is our answer? Do we want
to eradicate diphtheria? If so. are
we willing to make the small
sacrifice necessary in the way OF
time and money involved. We
can if we will.
