have to hurry if you intend to see it.

Chapter One

It was utter loneliness that drew Sue Mary to the fringes of the crowd. That feeling had been grow ing more and more strongly these past weeks and now these people most of them young, her own age attracted her like magnet.
 She wished desperately that she could speak to some of them. They were boys and girls who looked like those back home: those she had grown up with and gone to school with, and with whom she had played and laughed.
 That was what she missed so horribly now. But she couldn't speak to any one of these. Em- barrassment and self-conscious- ness held her back. She could merely stand and listen and look at their faces, and wonder what they did when they weren't work ing.
 she was to meet Joe here, in the little park in an hour but the prospect of sitting in her room un- til that time had been unbearable. Then, too, here in the park the

summer heat was less stifling than under the hot roof of her board ing house. Just the sound of the faint breeze rustling the leaves of the dust-covered park trees was a relief.
 The crowd wasn't noisy, but oc- casionally questions were asked. The man standing on the park bench gained renewed energy and enthusiasm each time some one interrupted him. Sue Mary won- dered how he found the heart to talk so loudly and so long in the summer heat.
 His words disturbed her even though they really didn't pene- trate her consciousness. There were so many things to disturb ones peace of mind now. The world seemed filled with confusion and so she had given up trying to read about all the horrors abroad and troubles at home.
 
 Words filtered through the heat into her consciousness. Meaning less words, to her. "Imperialis- tic oppression to rob the people of their cherished liberties" Gold profits - that's what they are interested in" The mans voice was grating, Shrill.
 "Who pays the bill?" shouted a dark haired young man, standing near Sue Mary. She stared at his

thinking. What do you mean = long -hairs'?"
 well, crackpots, Reds, Guys like that one -" Joe went on, pointing to the speaker, whose words still beat around them, "oughtta be thrown in the klink. Only this is a free country, and everyone has a right to say what he pleases. But guys like that" he shook hi head in disgust. They're troublemakers. Fools"
 An you're a wise guy, I s'pose, aren't you, pal?" the question came from a man nearby.
 Joe stared at him coldly. "Wise enough to get the pitch on this, !" he said. I'm an average Ameri- can, and I don't need the kind of help you guys give. Yeah. an I'm union man, too. Furthermore, if I have to fight for this country, I'll do it. And won't bellyache about the government"
 He took Sue Mary.s arm and drew her away. She was troubled.
 I don't understand them, Joe.

POLI's

Rubbing over with mirth and mel ody, and with Jack Oakie and Char lotte Greenwood sharing the fun, "Young People" opening a three day engagement on Wednesday afternoon at the Loew Poli theater, has been heralded as the most en- joyoble of all Shirley Temples twenty-two pictures.
 young People" is Shirley's first musical picture in two years. There are five top-notch songs cleverly blended with the plot in Young People, The unusual story deals with troupers Jack, Charlotte and Shirley who decide to retire from the stage in small New England town.
 A star of the stage for many years, Charlotte Greenwood, who plays Shirley's foster mother in the film, sets, off her famous elongated legs to good advantage. Opposite her is funster Jack Oakie in a role that provides ample scope for his we'll known antics.
 Sharing the romantic lead in "Young People" are beautiful Ar leen Whelan and George Montgom- cry. Kathleen Howard is also fea- tured.
 On the same program is another smashhit "The Earl of Puddlestone' a Higgins Family laugh riot, featur- ing James, Lucille and Russell Gleason.

intense, young face.

intense, young face.
 That, comrade, is good ques- tion," the speaker answered, while the crowd roared approval. His answer was lost in the shouting Sue Mary tried to shut out the din.
 The park shimmered in the heat The faces of the boys and girls around her looked strained and unreal. Was there any sense in what this man was shouting?
 Everyone knew that affairs in Europe were critical, that Ameri- cans must face facts. A country worth living in was worth fighting for. You had to defend your country.
 Why, then, was this man screaming? Why were these boys and girls so distraught?
 Sue Mary couldn't understand it. These young people weren't like her friends at home. Not inside; not in their minds. There was no sign of loneliness in their faces = only desperate purposefulness.
 She wished Joe would come, 50 that they could go to the little casino in the park for dinner. If it weren't for Joe she, wouldn't t know what to do with these free days. A five-day week; time to rest, time to play. But for a lonely girl the hours dragged painfully.
 "A whole day of and believe me I'll make it a real one" Kitty Lynn had exclaimed, excitedly, when the notice had gone up in the office. "This breathing spell will gilve me a new lease on life"
 Sue Mary had listened to the announcement of 8 free Tuesday with 8 sense of disbelief. "You won't have to report on Tuesdays after this, Miss Jefferson" she had been told.
 A free day - She stared at Kitty and Babs Fleming while they chattered gleefully about the things they could do with the holiday.
 She didn't know what she could do on her day of. All she had been able to say when Miss Grant, her boss, told of the plan, was a trite How nice"
 She had tried to be like Miss
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-09

Grant when she first came to work for Clark, Kenny, Malone and Clark. Miss Grant was the young business woman type: sophisti- cated, competent, able.
 The office itself had been thrill ing those first weeks when she had been fortunate enough to se- cure the job. Before that, back in Springville, she had finished high school, had two years of business college, and worked in two offices, before coming to Westport in a sudden desire to make something of her life. Her letters back to her mother and aunt had been Sprinkled with adventures.
 Everything was an adventure, then, though. It was fun to live with the Roonys: with Alice, whom Sue Mary had always adored as a younger sister loves an older one; fun to live in a home filled with babies and laughter. Alice and Frank had welcomed Sue Mary and there had never been any of the homesickness she feared.
 "Homesick - good heavens, you won't have time," Alice had prophesied. You have a job and this is your home. I can't imagine anyone being lonely here."
 And she never had been. And then, of course, there was Joe. Sue Mary had been in Westport only two weeks when Frank brought Joe home one evening.
 Were buddies," he told Sue Mary when he presented the big, blond, blue-eyed young man. "Joe Stefanski is one swell guy. And it's not all brawn, either. He's got brains. We work in the same department at the plant and Joe's going p,aces. He won't always have grease under his fingernails."
 Joe said the same thing months later, when he and Sue Mary spent evenings together as mat ter of course. Joe had ambition.
 He had worked his way through engineering college, but now he worked beside men who had done

Today and tomorrow mark your last opportunity of enjoying the swell laugh show currently at War ner's State theater. Spotlighting the bill is ''The Lady In Question" with Brian Aherne and Rita Hayworth in the co-starring leads; also Bob Burns and big cast of funsters in the hill-billy hit "Comin' Round The Mountain"
 And then starting Wednesday the State will usher in another smash new season show with Foreign Correspondent" hailed as the thrill spectacle of the year, as the head liner.
 Breath-taking exc te ment, TO- nance and drama, mystery and in trigue are unfolded in this thrill packed story which was directed by Alfred Hitchcock with stellar cast such as Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall, George Sanders, Robert Benchley, Albert Asserman and Eduardo Cianelli.
 The picture was made in recogni- tion of the intrepid group of Am- erican newspaperman who are serving as the nations eyes and ears during the European debacle, risk ing their lives daily in order to keep their own people informed of the rapidly shifting panorama of war.
 Most elaborate and extensive set- tings. constructed for any produc- tion in Hollywood in several years are those provided as backgrounds for this exciting film. The construc- ton, in the opinion of the producer. was essential to bring this action- filled, swiftly moving story to the public with absolute fidelity of back ground and in keeping with ita momentous international story.

Most of them are young; like us. But why are they so = so excited - so angry at things. The people we know aren't like that. This country is safe, isn't it? We're well of, aren't we? Or are we blind? don't understand it."
 "They're not our kind of people, dear. To hell with them. They don't know when they're well oil. But let's not talk about them. We'll have dinner and talk about us."
 Swinging hands, they went down the walk away from, the crowd, with the speakers voice growing fainter in the distance. The aching loneliness, the trou- bled doubts, the uncertainty of the future seemed unimportant now.

we'll to finish the eighth grade; men who spoke strange lan- guages; who came from coun- tries scattered through Europe. But Joe was glad for the chance to work.
 "I'm not kicking" he would say to Sue Mary, holding her fingers in his own big, work-cal- loused hand. ''It's all experience. I've got some ideas I'm develop ing"
 She knew he cared for her. She cared for ole, too, only somehow she felt there should be more fun, more excitement, more glamor in their relationship.
 No, life hadn't been exciting, but it had been calm, satisfying, pleasant.
 And then the Roonys had moved. Work at the plant had been slow and Franks depart ment had started cutting down. Four days, three days, sometimes only two. Frank had fretted and Alice had worried. Bills piled up. Just when things were darkest, Frank heard of a job back in Springville.
 'It's not much, but it's steady, and man with a family neeos that" he said.
 In a short weeks time they were gone, and Sue Mary had moved to a boarding house nearer her work. There, in her little room with faded cretonne cur tains, the single bed with it's wrinkled candlewick spread, the window overlooking the sooty street, she had tried to readjust

herself.
 Then she knew what homesick- ness was; then it was, that she missed the comfort of having those whom she loved about her in the evenings when she came home from work. Somehow she managed to overcome the hideous loneliness that overwhelmed her, when she climbed the stairs and entered the room for the endless hours of evenings and nights.
 Looking back now her life didn't seem very thrilling: not as thrilling as youth should expect. That inner discontent, that uncertainty of the future, hung heavy over her.
 She came back to reality. Joe's hand was on her arm.
 "1'S wonder I ever found you" he said grinning down at her. Who'd expect you to be listening to a Soapbox orator along with a bunch of long-hairs.'
