JOE MAKES PLANS
CHAPTER XVI

Sue Mary couldn't sleep. The hot August night wind merely moved the bedroom curtains and she tossed and wondered, puzzled, and could lind no answer.
 A strike: picket lines, fights, and police squads. She thought of the women she had met when she went to parties with Joe, wives of the plant workers. What would they do when the departments closed down and the pay checks ceased, to come How would they manage to run their homes, feed their families when their too meager savings ran out.
 And what would happen when the material needed by the plane factory ceased to be produced What would happen, then, to that part of the national defense plan
 She wanted to ask all those ques- tions and more, too, when she saw Joe later in the week. They had gone to movie and then, coming from the air-cooled theater into the city heat, had turned the car out toward the lake for few last moments of air.
 "What would happen if your fac tory went on strike?" she asked fi- nally.
 Joe slowed down and looked at her, astonished
 "What would happen? Well, plenty, I suppose. We're really speeding up production now, with all these plane orders. But why should we go on strike?"
 something about new union con- tract being negotiated at the fac tory she explained lamely.
 Sure, but that doesn't mean we're going to strike. A new con- tract comes up every year, but we don't strike about it. Our rep resentatives and the management get together and work things out"
 She breathed deeply and settled back against the car seat. I'm glad. just wondered if there could be, strike. With picket lines and trauble-like there used to be-"
 "Well, it's possible, suppose" Joe agreed.
 But certainly not probable. That part of unionlsm is about over. mean the battles and sit-downs.
 "Of course, there's always a cer- tssin element in every plant that, would cause trouble. You get some of these smart guys and let them talk wild and few dopes who can't think for themselves might follow along. But most of the men realize they are necessary in the work. Soldiers, sort of.
 And I hope the management won't take advantage of it. The work in the plants in this town ties together pretty much: making diff ferent parts for planes and cars and both of those are necessary if we're going to keep our country safe"
 Joe drew up along the beach and stopped the car. A hot, yellow moon

AN Interesting error has beer
 discovered in a Nicaraguar stamp of the series commemorat- ing President Anastasio Somoza': visit to United States. Although the stamp is identified by inscrip- ton President Somoza Before the Senate" the scene pictured is the House of Representatives.
 The error was noted by R. M Spaulding, Jr., in Scott's Monthly Spaulding cites 10 points to con- firm his identification of the House of Representatives.
 Europe's war may prevent the issuance of Guatemala's an- nounced set commemorating the centenary of the postage stamp. A Dutch firm was given the con- tract for the stamps and may not be able to fill the order.
 Pirate raids on Campeche, 18th century Mexican citadel, are com- memorated in stamp of the new series honoring the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city The coat-of-arm4s of Campeche, battlements of the ancient citadel, and the convent of San Francisco are also pie tured.
 Ca,npeche is notable. philateli- cally, for its three provisionals issued during the revolution of 1876. These are listed among Mexico's greatest rarities.

A possibility of Washington still
landing a scrap involving Petey
Scalzo and Jimmy Perrin, which
would be recognized by the National
Boxing Commission as being for the
featherweight championship, arose
today when an Associated Press dis
patch from New Orleans revealed
negotiations to stage the bout there
have been abandoned.
Pete Reilly, Scalzo's manager,
stymied plans when he demanded
a guarantee of 5000 for Scalzo to
face Perrin at New Orleans, Perrin s
home town. Reilly said, however,
he will allow Petey to battle for Is
per cent of the gate, providing the
bout is staged ''in neutral territory"
Scalzo, previously signed to swing
for the title here, was released from

Thousands of old customers and new

Royals at this new low price and bought.
Many asked how Regal could lower price
and maintain quality in the face of gener-
ally higher prices in the shoe industry -.
here is the answer.
Spring feathers were bought last Sep
tember before the war shot prices sky
high. New Regal stores were opened to
assure greater volume. All manufacturing
and administering operations were con-
centrated at Whitman, Mass. for greater
economy. These economies are passed
back to you in the form of lower price.
All lasts, all feathers, all sizes, now one
low price $3.50.
