ASub OAAAo, 6AA4 OkAAo d1C1 AC - who is she?" Martha questioned.
 "The girls have told you she drive big car, that she has a bunch of fur coats That's true. Her family is rich. Her father is the head of one of the biggest cor- porations in the state. Her mother is independently wealthy, and Val has large income from block of oil wells.
 She's 8 wonderful girl, Mother. She's real, she's true = everything you could ask for in a daughter in-law." He dropped to his knees beside Martha, pleading. Please try to love her, Mother for me" !"
 "1ll try, Jerry. Bring her over tomorrow"
 But Jerry, have you considered all the angles?" Dr. Connolly inter- rupted. How are you going to live? You have no money - no job"
 T know that, Dad But I'll get job. I'll drive a truck, run a filling station. We'll get along" He was smiling now.
 How about Valerie? Will she be willing to live like that-as the wife of truck driver?"
 "Val would live in 8 tent, if we could be together she said so." He rose, kissed his mother and turned to leave. Then it's all right? can tell Val you don't object?"
 If you've made up your mind you want to quit school = get mar ried - your mother and I will help all we can. If you're sure = But you'll have to earn your own way"
 Don't be in too much of a hur- " to tell Valerie" Martha cau- tioned. "Let your father and I talk this over. Run along now, don't want to meet her tonight" Hour later, when the shadows of Christmas night had closed in around them, Hugh and Martha Connolly reached 8 decision. Jerry had gone to meet Valerie, the twins had hurried off to a dance. They sat before the fire, as they had sat so many evenings before, planning the future for their chil- dren. This had not been included in that plan for Jerry, but it was situation that must be faced.
 All of Hugh's hopes had been centered in his son. From the day he had bought Jerry lis first book on anatomy, carefully directed his boyish study, Hugh had longed for the day when Jerry could come into the office, full-fledged physician, ready to take his share of the burden.
 That was Hugh's dream. Tn it's realization he had promised him. self 8 rest, time to do the myriad things he had never been able to squeeze in. He and Martha could take long motor trips, he could buy that north woods cabin, he could go hunting and fishing with

Greece Fought Rome
 In Third Century B. C.

GREECE'S heroic defense agains,
 Italian invasion adds another ch apter to the 21-century-old strife between the peninsulas. But there is variety in this 1940 war. Rome has usually been victorious in previous conflicts.
 Greece was at the height of it's power when the Temple of Apollo at Corinth, ruins of which are shown on the Greek airmail stamp above, was built in $40 B. c. Greek colonies had been estab- lished in southern Italy. Greek culture was in its golden age.
 Two hundred years later, ex- banding Rome drove the colonists out of Italy, but Greece did not become RAnan province until after the defeat of the Macedonian kings in 148 B. c. The Greeks backed losers in wars against Rome when they helped Mithri- dates. Pompey, Brutus and Mark Antony. Rome's hold on Greece was not broken until the Turkish conquest in the 18th century.
 Rome has made more recent att tacks. In 1912 Italy seized the Dodecanese Islands, and in 1923 Mussolini bombarded and occu- pied Corfu to obtain indemnity for the assassination of an italian general

out a constant worry that some- one at home was needing him. But that was selfish of him. There could be no thought of that dream now. Jerry was, as always, his first consideration. If he is determined to do it, there's nothing we can do to stop him." Hugh said at last. "He would hate us always, if we broke up his marriage. The girl may be as he says. We'll have to sec" But he's giving up everything his career z he's wrecking his whole life,' Martha argued. Maybe not. His happiness is our first consideration. He might never be happy without this girl. Now it's getting late. I have to drop in at the hospital. You go on to bed. I won't be late."'
 It was after midnight when the doctor returned. He left a light for Jerry, wearily climbed the stairs. He had counted so much on this son of his. Too much, per- haps.
 He glanced in the twins room. Both beds were empty. He walked down the hall to his own room, winding his watch. The sound of !, someone sobbing disturbed him. Martha? No, she was asleep. The sobbing persisted. It seemed to come from the guest room. He knocked gently, then opened the door.

JERRY MAKES A DECISION
CHAPTER "

"You're not-what?" For the first time in his life Hugh Connolly roared at his son.
 Jerry's knuckles whitened as he gripped the mantel. I'm not going back to medical school, Dad. I'm through. I'm quitting"
 "Jerry = Jerry" his mother pleaded. Don't say such things. You're tired upset. You've been working too hard. You can't give up now"
 That's it, son." The doctors arm went around his tall sons shoul- ders, held him tight. You need a rest. How about a hunting trip? I'll leave things, we'll get away for few days. Fill you up on good food, and you'll be anxious to get back to work again :"
 Jerry shook his head. Thanks, Dad. But it's no use. I like school I feel swell. It's not that. It's just --well-I'm going to be married"
 "What!" Hugh Connolly roared again, drowning out Mary Warde's half -stified scream. Instantly she was on her feet.
 T think you want to discuss this alone, Mrs. Connolly" she said. "If Sou1l excuse me" She ran up the stairs.
 There was long silence. The doctor left his son, standing alone before the greplace, and slumped in his favorite chair. ''Now, Jerry, let's have the whole story. Maybe this can be strengthened out"
 "Jerry, you haven't done any, thing" Martha hesitated, half afraid.
 No, Mother" Jerry answered tenderly. Unless I should be ashamed of falling in love-"
 "It,s that Valerie. Parks-T hate i1er!' Sheila broke in.
 Lets hear what Jerry has to say first, Sheila," her father com- manded. "All right, Jerry, let's have it."
 Tt is Val," Jerry began. "I'm in love with her; she loves me. We want to get married. There's noth- ing wrong in that, is there?"
 But we don't even know the girl = her family. Jerry, how can you do this to us?" Martha sobbed.
 "YouU love her, Mother. can promise that. She's coming tonight. Wait till you see her."
 Not tonight, son." Dr. Connolly counseled. 'This has come pretty sudden to your mother and me Wen see the girl later. ! What about this sudden deci- sion to give up medicine? It means ending your career. Have you thought of that?"
