Cholly was taken completely by

His face had grown white.
But why, darling? Is it because

You are the only thing in my life

Cholly opened her eyes, looking

You really do?"

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
THEY DRANK the champagne
hurriedly.
Cholly sank back on the divan,
still holding her glass. Romany put
hers down on the coffee table and
picked up the long brown envelope.
Her hands trembled tearing it open.
Taking out the contract, Romany
ran her eyes down the pages swift
ly. She sat down suddenly, gasping.
Then she read slowly:
"Hayworth Corn Syrup Products.
Dover Hayworth, the third, director
of radio"
Cholly's mouth opened stupidity.
Romany nodded.
That's what it says"
Then Romany laughed hysteri-
cally.
"Our sponsor! Bless his old bald
head. May his bank roll hold out
long after he's dead"
The happiness fled from Cholly's
face.
She said dazedly:
'I-can't 60 on the air for Hay
worth"
Romany crossed to her swiftly
and sat down on the divan.
"And why not, I'd like to know?"
she protested violently. That's the
silliest thing I've ever heard"
Cholly's chin set proudly:
It's like-accepting charity. I
won't do it, He's just doing it to
help me-"
Romany sighed impatiently.
and what if he is! Don't be a
fool, Cholly. Besides, you've signed.
You can't get out of it now"
Cholly's chin trembled.
"Oh, Rooney, what'n do? I could
die"
You'll go on the air and stop
being a nit-wit." Romany shook
her. THAT explains all the mystery.
And why Lanes secretary said
Brent had recommended you yes

pride would keep you from signing
up if you knew the Hayworths were

Dover Hayworth likes your playing
and thinks you can sell syrup with

business is it?
The phone rang. Romany got up
to answer it. 1t was the sponsor
himself. She laughed uncertainty.
yep! We're right in the middle
of the fireworks"
After a few seconds she hung up.
Dove says" she told Cholly,
he'll sue you if necessary to hold
you to your contract. And that as

Suddenly Cholly giggled shabby

Belief or Ability?

Two recent issues, one in Washington, the other
in New York city, offer samples Of what do not
want in Greenbelt.
The first case in point is the forced resignation
of Miss Martha Gibbo, professor Of English at George
Washington University To some Greenbelters this is
Of no apparent concern, but to those who attended
CIV. and especially those who have enjoyed the
u1ating lectures of Mss Gibbon the is not
settled, though the Washington Post did
ly declare the natter closed and refuse print any
letters about it.
Miss Gibbon's worst crime to have beena
recomendatio to her students that they read "The
New Republic" and "The Nation" and the fact
at several meetings in support Of the Span
ish Loyalists during the recent in Spain.
ident Marvin tried to make the public ieve that

did not consider her the desirable type the
u1ty. Students at G.N. Miss Gibbon's resignation
student and faculty ri ghts. It agreed, in any
event, that Miss Gibbon could teach English teach
it we'll. But her opinions were apparently not in
the best interests of the institution.
Turning to another professor whose case has burst
into headlines throughout the nation, find that
n.Bertrand Russell has been barred from teaching
mathematics at City lege of New York result
of court action, because Dr.. Russe1l's beliefs on

The fact that this profes being brought
into c.c.N.Y. to teach advanced mathematics, not
ethics, does not seem to have been considered.
wealth Of evidence is liable from his students
and associates at oter schools where Bertrand Rus
sell has taught to show that he did attempt to
interject his personal views morality into his
lectures on mathenatics---one could ponder on how
this mi ght be done, anyway.
That Bertrand Russell is capable, that he is one
of the worlds greatest scholars never argued.
It just that his views not accept

attack had read Russell's books they might have

Drink at Home

Grenbelters a whole have displayed a fine
ability to have good time Without liquor pre-
requisite. Most of nei ghbors here in town vho
do drink have learned how to liquors
ly. There remain few, augmented by out-of-tom
visitors, who still show lack of good taste their
drinking habits.
We know of no Wlid obj lection raised ar against
drinking intoodcation at home, so long as
there is no accompanying disturbance to other
bers of the drinker's family to the nei ghbors.
The criticisms raised from time to time have been
against drinking parties that turn into brawls dur
ing the midnight and early morning hours, to the
trsne discomfort of sleepy ned gnbors, and against
those individuals who bring their bottles With them
to public dances and PARTIES.
Next Saturday brings another big Citizens Asso-
citation dance In the Audi toril The dance committee
has thought of spelling anyones plans for good
time. It Is asking, however, that drinking be done
at home before after the dance-not In the hall
ways in tn 1avatories of the school. The litter
of Whiskey bottles and beer left in the lava
tories after recent dances has raised problem

Gypsies Rob Aged
Man Of S11

Police reported last week that
three gypsies who robbed J. H.
Esterly, 84-year-old Findlay man, of
$11 on Friday, apparently had made
good their escape.
They said Esterly told them a car
with three nomads stopped and
asked him "what town is this?" A
woman, dressed in many colors, got
out of the car and approached Es-
terly, Immediately taking an inter-
est in his physical welfare, curious
to know whether he had any aches
or pains.
She wouldn't take "No, I'm all
right" for an answer and started to
examine him in search of ailing
limbs or muscles. During the pro-
cedure she must have lifted the S11
from his trouser pocket, he said.

Seed Buying Hints
Given

Purchasers of seed potatoes were
advised by Putnam County Agent
Ralph Dush to be on the lookout for
tags indicating certifcation that
really means certifcation.
The Ohio seed law is specific and
easily understood, he explained. The
word certified seed" must appear
upon all agricultural seeds before
they actually are certified. All
seeds, tubors or plants sold as certi-
fled stock must have a certification
tag bearing the growers name and
address and his number registered
with the state director of agricul-
ture.
Also, it must show the name of
the certifying agent, the state where
the product was produced and infor-
nation pertaining to the cigor, pur-
ity and other items.
