island.
The road was white and shining
along the river as they drove to-
ward Connecticut. They were IN
Terry's car, because it held four
people. No one talked very much.
Robert did not touch her. When
he spoke his tones were the casual,
courteous ones of any acquaint-
ance. He had closed a chapter OF
his life that afternoon, Linda rea-
lized.
docs anyone know that you are
being married tonight" she asked,
because the silence was too long
between her and Robert, not be-
cause Terry and Caroline minded
it.
Caroline answered. Il told Mac
Rae, the janitor. He's been a dear
about bringing in firewood and re-
pairing the electric stove. And one
or two of the girls I know, too"
81 accidentally mentioned it,
too, Terry volunteered. ITO several
people,"
His voice was guarded. But Lin
da wondered instantly if Nina had
not been one of those people.
Her suspicion was verified a few
moments later. The clergyman,
who was waiting for them, having
been notified of their coming, said,
miss Nevins, the actress, wishes
to talk to you as soon as you ar
rive, Mr.. Adams. I'll call operator

was as brave, or drawer, than her
pioneer grandmothers had been.
A woman who loved a man could
forgive him for wandering and let
him come home again. Penelope,
in the old Grecian tale, had well
coined Ulysses after his years at
sea. And women had been doing
it ever since.
Linda reused herself from the
lethargy that had taken possession
of her. The telephone was ringing
and she answered it.
Ronald's voice spoke. Linda,
darling, could we have dinner, a
light one, before the show? I'm
making some recordings after it is
over"
Eyes, of course
The next time the bell chimed
Caroline answered it and her voice
made lovely, lifting music in the
room. ooh, Terry, darlingest! You
got him and he'll go?. Good! Sc
will Linda"
What did one wear to be a brides
maid, Linda unused? Maybe some
thing in rose. She had a new chit
fon and a black lace halo hat, with
a few roses tucked around its brim.
That would do. The new blue dress
was Caroline's wedding gov. The
skirt was knife-pleated and the
bodice was snug and tight.
Caroline chanted the old rhyme:
married in blue,
He'll always be true"
The dinner with Ronald was a
quick affair. He seemed pre-occu-
pied, though gay and devoted when
his eyes came back to Linda. She
was glad to escape. She loved him
as much as ever, she told her in
curing heart. 1t vas just that she
had been upset by Roberts unex-
pected declaration of love.
She would see Rob in a few min
utes. Her heart turned over at the
thought, became a trapeze for a
moment, and she had to reach out
with a firm thought, grab it, and
put it back in its orderly position.
She would have this last ride
with Rob. Then she would forget
him and he would marry somebody
called Billie Anne Trent, who pilot
ed an airplane. Oddly, she won

How The "'Fifth
Column Works
By Joe station

In Long Island there are 10000
known Bundsmen. In New Jersey
about 1000. In Chicago about TO-
900 In all between so and 100, 900
throughout the u. S. They are in
all branches of the govt helping
to keep Negroes out of every
thing so we won't expose them.
The poor whites who are 80
dumb they follow them and take
oaths to keep us out of everything
are the first ones who will be
slaughtered when and If a "Blitz-
krieg" comes.
The way fifth column works:
those who are fifth columnists
capture guarded spots such as
bridges. and keep them from being
blown up SO their troops can come
on across. Those in factories bomb
them so they cannot operate for
months. Those in the army signal
positions of a large body of troops
are the troops that can be blast
ed into nothingness.

severe throat infection, lay gasping
for breath as DR.. r. E. Stuard, city

Suddenly the boys breathing
stopped.
The doctor turned to the father,
r. D. Novich. He had no surgical
instruments with him, he explained.
Would the father agree to an emer-

Hastily sterilizing his penknife,
the doctor made an opening in the
boys throat and inserted a metal
tube
Then he began artificial respira-
ton and the lad breathed again.
But eight hours later little Danny,
weakened by the infection, died.

Of all the things of which Greenbelt can be
proud, one of the greatest is the Comn ty Church.
Whatever may be one's opinion to the domatic
validity of the organization, must marvel at the
very fact that such organization has been accom
Ished. Wen and of many creeds have been u
n1ted into congregation which is willing over
look superficial differences for the sake of finding
what seems to them the essential unity of all reli-
gion, and of e1presd ng that unity truly CON-
mlnity action. That is feat Of large dimensions
as you will agree if you of the competi-
tive and suspicious feelings that usually exist be-
tween members of the different creeds.
do not here to embark upon discussion
of re1igion; one's religion is indeed own and
subject only to one's conscience. But for that
large proportion of the town that subscribe to
the principles of the Community Church, the estab-
lisment of that Church is major victory in the
ternal struggle toward civilization.
1t is step toward universal tolerance
of each other's personal feelings, universal ap-
probation of each other's worth, universal con-
centration of efforts toward common ideal. AS
such it is worthy of much praise. It's organizers,
its members, its lay leaders, it's Teachers and its
pastor have caught onto something that will become
and more signifi to them, something that
they must cling to tenaciously, and encourage
lively.
