Jane turned her eyes from the
window and wished she did not
have to get up, ever. But the longer
she delayed, the harder it would
be. Life kept moving even though
the heart was breaking. So gather
ing all the courage she had, she
bounced out of bed in one leap. If
she had to go on living, she sud-

She heard her aunt go out into

cold shower despite the chilly

pink and glowing from the Icy

doing things with vigor gave her
little time to concentrate on her
unhappy plight. AS she dressed

things from sight. Jane turned
over and sobbed into her pillow for
a long time, trying to stif1e the

She wondered how she could ever
face the world with a smile as if
all was right when everything was
upside down. Quite without realiz-

words of the night before: Never a
day comes along but what you can
find one little bit of happiness" If
that were so. she had something to
look forward to this day. What
would it be?
A car drove up in front of the

Highway Bridge Con-
troversy RACES
Governor Names Committee
But Old Span Seems
Likely To Go

Concrete evidence of Governor
OConor's desire toassis residents Oh
Hartford and Cecil Counties in solv-
ing problems presented by the con-
struction of the new Susquehanna
River Bridge was given by the APP
pOintment of CO m m i t e e in
fulfillment of a promise made to a
delegation from Havre de Grace pro-
testing against the razing of the old
bridge.
A definite indication that the in
fiuence of the State administration
would be thrown behind the effort
to aid nearby residents, particularly
those of Havre de Grace and Perry
Vile. is given in the appointment
of State Treasurer Hooper S. Miles
as Chairman. Mr.. Miles, as one OF
the three members of the Board OF
Public Works, has worked in close
association with the Governor and
it is believed that his selection was
made purposely by the Chief Execu-
tive to give it weight as represent
ing the administration.
Other members of the Committee,
as announced by Governor O'Conor,
are Judge Frederick Lee Cobourn,
of the Circuit Court for Hartford
County; Mayor Robert Lowder, OF
Havre de Grace; Edward MacMul-
len, of Perryville; and w. W. Pag-
an, consulting engineer OF Baltl-
more. Aside from the convenience
of the old bridge for the residents of
Hayre de Grace and Perryville par
ticularly, the fact that the old span
is toll free while tolls will be charg-
ed on the new bridge, has stimu-
lated efforts of the residents OF that
vicinity to retain the present struc-
ture.
In announcing the Committee, the
Governor declared that he did so be-
cause of the hope of the residents
that some arrangements might be
worked out whereby the old bridge
could be continued for limited use,
or plan effected for the sale OF
communication tickets to persons liv-
ing near the bridge.
