closer again, kissed her. LET
the others talk about work and
plans"
She was frightened. More than
she had ever been before. This
was a new Nick. Intense and de-
manding.
"It's only because I thought you
wanted me to understand things;
wanted me to stop being blind
and stupid"
"You aren't blind = or stupid"
he murmured "a little, perhaps,
when you won't see how much
care for you. But not about
other things"
She persisted and finally he
talked. With his arms around her,
holding her tightly, he told her
what the election would mean.
1--WE have to get Fritz King
elected. He's our man. He's
schooled in the party pattern, and
he'll be our opening wedge In
creating a new system in this
state.
"Old Miller is a fool. He'll run
as governor again and he'll put
up a stiff battle, but we can lick
him. Plenty comes out in an cleo
ton campaign. Maybe we'll show
that he's wasting the states
money; playing a little private
business of his own. Why, then
we'd be all set"
ct thought, though, that he was
respected and capable. At least
the papers say So" Sue Mary led
him on.
1.-THE papers - the capitalistic-
controlled press. Not a free press.
Read our paper. He's backed by
big money. He hasn't the inter-
ests of the people at heart"
Speaking of the peaple," Sue
Mary said casually, there was a
riot at the Smithson factory,
wasn't there?"
Nick laughed. "a strike? Yes. But
it hasn't really started-yet.
81 bet the war-mongers are
plenty worried. If Smithson stops
production for a couple of months
the plane factory might just as
we'll stop trying to keep up to
schedule. The Gull plant depends
on them for parts, and strike
would really show the big boys
that the workers are the ones
that make the wheels go round.
Millions for this defense and what
about relief? What about wages?"
But defense is pretty impor-
tant right now, Nick, isn't it? I
mean, shouldn't we forget other
problems and be soldiers out Of
uniform?"
who have you been talking to?"
Nick took her face between his
hands and looked at her. There
was no laughter in his eyes now.
They were narrow and searching.
Sue Mary tried to smile. why,
Nick. I can read. You taught me
to read the newspapers, don't you
remember?"
you've changed" he told her
sullenly. He pushed her away and
continued to look at her. II
thought you could see the truth;
not be taken in by this stuff you
read in the daily papers.
"No," he said slowly, still star
ing at her through narrowed eyes.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-28

Someone has been talking to you.
It's that Joe. He works at Smith
son, doesn't he? You see him,
don't you?"
She swallowed against the lump
in her throat. "Of course. I know
him and sometimes I have dates
with him. So what, Nick? He's
not you. I'm with you almost
every day. And I'm with Vera
and Natalie. You're my friends"
Nick fumbled for cigaret and
lighted it. You're not like Vera
or Natalie" He looked up sud-
denly. Maybe you're working too
hard at the Office. How are things
going there?"
It was like a game, Sue Mary
thought, each trying to maneu-
yer the other into an admissions

But Vera can tell you that"
She's making good there, isn't
she?"

one likes her. Even the presidents
son."
Nick blew out a cloud of smoke
and studied the red glow of the
cigaret. What does he do?"
"Oh not much. He's more the
playboy," she said lightly. "Of
course, Vera says he has political
ambitions, but I wouldn't know.
He thinks Vera's all right. She
knows him pretty WELL" She
watched him for a reaction.
"Yes. She said she'd gone out
with him a few times. In fact
they were to go to the Bird Cage
tonight"
"The Bird Cage" Sue Mary said
wonderingly. That's the big
gambling, place, isn't it?"

close again. Like to go? We

CHAPTER XVIII

It wasn't until that bitter mo-
ment that she did remember the full
Significance of Nick's remark.
Joe was no fool. She knew now
that he realized where she had
heard rumblings of strike threats.
She knew how disturbed, how
troubled and puzzled he must be.
But now that trouble had arisen
at the plant - just as Nick had
foretold she was more insistent
than ever in her desire to learn
what force was behind it all.
She wondered if she could find
Che courage to go out with Nick
since her eyes had been opened;
now that she had broken away
from the childish dream; now
that she knew her true love for
Joe. And yet she felt she had
to find the strength.
Women the world over are
facing real, concrete, terrifying
problems, she told herself. Ger
tainly there is enough real Amer
icanism in me, enough of my an
cestors to help me do my part
now. Even if it turns out to be
q witch hunt, even if the YP isn't
um-American, but just harm
less bunch of boys and girls like
myself, with time and energy and
nothing to do still, will have
convinced myself.
It was even harder than she had
anticipated to be with Nick. He was
charming, eager to please, amusing
and in a lovers mood.
"You're sweet. You're lovely,
You're not like other girls. Not
like any girl I ever knew" he
said. Tonight we won't think of
work. Well think of us.
"You care for me, don't you?"
he asked, seriously. There isn't
anyone else, is there? That fell
low-that one you used to go with
he's out of your life, isn't hep"
he demanded, holding her closer.
"Oh, Nick, why must you be
so serious?" She pushed him
away. 1--WE haven't time to be
silly - and emotional.
we have so much - so much
in common" she insisted. 81 mean
the work, and the election. Tell
me about that. I haven't had a
chance to really talk to you in
days" If only she could learn
something about his real plans,
1t would make this date seem
more bearable.

Hartford, Sept 28.-Turkey grow
ers OF Connecticut are going to
gather today at the large dairy and
turkey farm of j. Frank Brown in
North Stonington to look over his
flock of about 5000 hens and COB
blers, "talk turkey" and do a lit
tie reminiScing. The reminiscing is
not on the days formal program,
but It is safe to predict that there
will be plenty of swapping of yarns
about turkey raising in the old days,
after they have been there short
while and absorbed some of the at
mosphere of the Brown farm where
turkey raising dates back more than
q century.
Address Arranged
The highlight of the annual field
day program will be an address after
the visitors basket lunches have
been eaten, by one of the best known
turkey authorities of the United
States, Charles Wampler OF Vr-
rinia. Another feature of the day
which will come in for discussion
will be the official turkey crop eSti-
mate. Preliminary tabulations OF
the annual survey conducted by the
Federal and State Agricultural De-
uartments indicate that for the first
time in many years small decrease
In the size of the Connecticut crop
appears probable. Ever since care
full estimates have been prepared,
going back more than 10 years, the
annual turkey production in this
state has shown a material annual
increase over the previous year. Last
years Connecticut crop totaled 49,
600. It looks now as though this
trend is going to be interrupted so
far Is the 1910 crop is concerned.
The present proprietor Of the
large North Stonington ranch, j.
Frank Brown, has been president
Of the Connecticut Turkey Growers
association, the host organization,
for several years. This association
has had an unusually successful
record since its organization more
than 10 years ago. Its achievements
IN developing marketing program
which has made its famous yellow
Tag" dressed turkeys the outstand-
ing market leader, have been widely
acclaimed. This recognition comes
not only from the thousands of
Connecticut housewives who have
learned to appreciate their consist
emily fine quality, but almost as
much by growers In other states who
have attempted TO develop similar
programs.
l0s Year Old Site
Mr.. Brown Is also famous as the
owner and operator Of q large scale
turkey ranch where turkeys have
been raised continuously over q
longer period OF time than on any
olher farm IN the United States, 30

cause would eliminate all other cam
paignS this year. She said Christina.
seal sales had never been in any

be, and sales were not exactly in the
