Meanwhile, too, some outside
young people had begun to drop in
at The Oaks. The first party given
in Jeremy's honor had been large
ly framed up for him by the other
youths there who invited their
friends. But Jeremy had CHANGED
to meet a few of the guests later
in a roadhouse. And Gayle had
t%actfully called. a few of the others
on the telephone for him.
On a Friday afternoon after the
rehearsals were started, and after
the papers had informed the world
about the new play, a carload OF
young people rolled up the long
drive to The Oaks. A detached OBJ
server might have said that it
came up diffidently, almost warily;
plainly the driver wasn't too sure
of himself. The Oaks was truly an
awesome estate.
No one was in sight when the
yOutnS stopped near the ITont
porch. Presently the al gave a
tentative honk.
Graham, punctilious butler, saw
them from within. 1T appears,
Miss Gayle, that some young
guests are waiting in an automob'l

wasn't too ure of himself, either.

Graham to call; she herself yelled

other girls came into the front

He looked distressed. His eyes
sought Gayle's in appeal but
she pushed him toward the door,

that some of the proceeds from the

to The Oaks in the mail, and poor
Graham, the butter, was so busy
with telephone calls about tickets,
and about details of the play in
general, that he hired an assistant
to help him.
Bill and Gayle learned of these
things promptly, but they were
more and more busy with rehears'

of the outdoor stages, makeup,
acoustics, all the problems that

Producers Of Manganese
Complain Of Lack Of Aid

The American Manganese Produc-
ers Association complained today
that no efforts were being made to
aid development of domestic supplies
of the critically ore and that
supplies needed for rearmament
were being purchased chiefly from
Russia.
j. Carson Anderson, president,
declared $10,000,000 was appropriated
last year to create stock piles of
strategic material "but the domestic
producer-the same producer who
in 1918 Clipped 305,00O tons of ore
for wartime use-didn't get enough
to put gold caps on his teeth" Do
mestic producers are now shipping
less than 10000 tons a year, he de-
clared in a statement.
THE 10000, 900 expended last year
IN the purchase of foreign materials
would go far to assure creation of
concentrating and beneficiating
plants Of the most modern types at
Key points throughout the country.
With such plants in operation, the
last criticism against domestic ore
3 -tnat 1t is too low grade to meet
government requirements - would
be removed"

Health Care for Defense
Workers Advocated

Secretary of Labor Perkins In Q
statement yesterday urged a pro-
gram OF medical supervision and
health education with emphasis on
proper nutrition for young workers
In national defense industries.
Such program, she declared,
could be carried out comparatively
by the Surplus Commodities Corp,
the Extensive Service and Bureau Of
Home Economics of the Agriculture
Department. the Children's Bureau
and the Public Health Service.
An extended program of ma.
tional defense is bound to depend
greatly upon the health and vigor
of industrial workers." she said. "The
health of children and young people
in their families is also of impor-
tance to an extended effort. State
and local agencies should be stim-
ulated to provide health supervision
and medical care, and broad educa-
ton should be directed toward these
groups to correct dietary deficiencies.
Other methods to carry out such
q program could include community
sanitation to control spread of COM
municable diseases, increased distri.
button of surplus commodities, dis
tribution Of low-cost milk to in
dustrial workers and their families
and expansion of school lunch pro-
grams"
