the purpose of paying such prop
erty damage as may . be found
reasonable by the council and to
give such further assurance to the
state highway commission as in
their judgment is deemed wise in
carrying out the proposed project"
Only voice lifted against the un-
derpass project was that of Edgar,
who reiterated objections advanced
in the past by Edgar Bros. and ex-
pressed the fear that compenSa-
ton for damages to the Edgar Bros
building at Fourth and Main street
would be insufficient.
The committees report will be
submitted to the council Tuesday
night in time for the council to
make its position clear to the state
highway commission, which meets
in Riverside at the end of the
month.

The way things are now with war or ders, defense appropriations. and national hysteria, you can't tell me. but that these big guys aren't making money hand over fist.

Life in the new apartment set- tied down. Sue Mary hadn't told Joe vet. For some reason she had put oil, trying to build up her reasons for making the change. He came back from his vacation and so she had to face the issue.
 T simply couldn't stand that hall bedroom any longer" she told him while he listened, his face an expressionless blank. After all, I spend so much time with Natalie down at the hall, and I work with Vera, who is Natalie's best friend
 And you go around with Nick, who is the fourth in the quartet" Joe added quietly.
 She flushed. He's a friend of mine, of course. They all are.
 And I'm tired of having you say that they are Reds. If you knew how silly that sounds. Just because they paint, and write, and are interested in politics you make them sound crazy. Good heavens, they aren't any more Red than 1 am - or you are. Why, the party paper is always warning against losing our American freedom; telling us how some groups are trying to control the press, the radio, kill freedom of speech, out law the right to unionize.
 ''The TYP group is truly Amer ican, Joe. Just because they aren't blind to the mistakes being made here, and because they see the good in some other forms of gov- ernment, you and others who don't know the Youth Progress platform - say it's Red, or it's

Hale Almost Succeeded In Dangerous Mission

' ESS than a mile from his own
 lines and safety, Nathan Hale, Americas most famous spy, was captured and hanged. The U. S. h-cent stamp above, issued in 1925, honors the schoolmaster- hero.
 Hale was teaching school in New London, Conn.,, when word of the battle of Lexington was received. He closed his desk, joined the army. Six months later he was commissioned cap- tain. There wasn't enough action in the infantry to satisfy the ex- schoolmaster, so he transferred to Knowlton's Rangers, General Washington's scouts.
 When Washington sought in. formation on British troop move- ments and defenses, Hale volun- teered for the mission. He made his way through the British lines in New York, drew maps, sketched positions. He was cap tured by a patrol, within a mile of American lines, as he returned with his information.
 Hale's last words-'I regret that I have but one life to give for my country"-made the school teacher one of the nations great est hefoe9
