roles. Robert Paige believes in
it firmly, because it's worked

his ability as a singer-and

and again played reporter in

Welks.
Its wet, better leave it till morn
ing. You can get it when you bring
the car OUT
Gradually the crowd dispersed.
It was when the two were doing
the supper dishes that Mrs. Lowell
exploded the bombshell.
''If my daughter had lived she'd
have been about your age" she
said, and tears came to the wou-
ans eyes.
I'm sorry, I didn't know"
''I wanted to tell you that before
you heard what I'm going to say.
You and Mr.. Boucher aren't mar

Lynn could find no words with
which to answer.

wear a wedding ring which was
funny for a bride. Mr.. Lowell told

But Mrs. Lowell, you don't un-

"Oh, please, Mrs. Lowell. You've
been so kind to us, wish" Lynn
found it hard to face Mrs. LovelPs
honest, sincere gaze. The poor wom-
an was deeply hurt
"But Mrs. Lowell, Rene has been
kind to me, he's taking me back to

our friendship is purely platonic-"
Mrs. Lowell held up her hand. ct

nice a girl. Father is going to bring
that man to his senses" She patted
Lynn's arm, reassuringly. Hes 60

Aghast, Lynn turned around and
stared.
''But, I don't want to marry him
oh, please, Mrs. Lovelli Let us
alone. This is something you know
nothing about"
"And me married for thirty-fve
years? My dear girl! Come, now, I

CHAPTER V-COntinued

When Rene came in later Lynn
was still laughing.
Wasn't it priceless?"
at was! I begin work tomorrow.
Are you serious?"
~ was never more serious In my
life" He slumped on to the sofa.
Lynn, that cars a mess. Just
about every Ining is wrong with it.
The last guy who tinkered with it
certainly fixed it! The bill is going
to be at least $40. That will take
all our cash"
''Oh, Rene!"
Now don't worry. The old boy
said he'd give me SIS if I'd paint the
garage two coats. can do it IN two
days"
But, Rene"
Wen manage somehow"
Rene" Lynn did not know how
to begin.
81 know what you're going to say.
Yes, he thought we were married,
and I let him think so. I never
dreamed we'd be stuck here. There
was nothing else to do, Lynn. They d
never understand"
81 don't suppose anybody else
would, either"
''Of course, they would, if they
knew you'll" Lynn then suggested
she write to Mrs. Warren's lawyer
and ask for her money.
Maybe l should tell him to wire
It? What do you think?"
1T will cost money to do that,
but maybe it is better than being
stranded"
So that is the way it was left.
Mortimer was to wire the money to
Lynn to the Western Union Office
Ii Lu Lu, the nearest town.
Bright and early the next morn
ing Rene was up and at his paint
ing. Lynn waited until the hired
man was going to town and sent
her letter IN by him to be mailed.
And there was nothing to do but
for the two young people to hope for
the best. Mrs. Lowell came to call
on her In the morning.
why don't you folks come up to
the house and eat with US? It will
save you money, and my husband
tells me you are a little hard up.
You can help me with the work"
ObedientIy Lynn went up to the
big farmhouse. That morning she
helped Mrs. Lowell clean an up
stairs bedroom. Mrs. Lowell gave
her a couple of cotton dresses, for
which Lynn was grateful, and she
wore one Of them to the dinner ia
bic.
Of course, there was the dreaded
conversation always. Lynn finally
told Mrs. Lowell she and Rene had
been married IN Florida. That
seemed simplest.
All In all, the day went smoothly
enough, although Lynn was exhaust
ed when night came. She came
back to the trailer after dark and
found Rene there, the curtain up,
their beds made.
Did Mr.. Lowell ask you where
we were married today?" Lynn
called.
Lord, did she ask you, too?"
az said Florida"
81 said New York;" Rene
groaned. I'm a fool"

Like the famous story Of the
"House That Jack Built" that
kept unraveling and unfolding
with every pause for breath,
he achievements of the Nation
e3al Youth administration in Ohio
for the past fiscal year have
been so varied that, combined,
they would form a city of their
own.
But instead of being town
that one "Jack" built, it would
tBe town built by the combined
efforts of an average of 1898
youth each month, engaged in
the out-of-school work program
for youth between the ages of
18 and 25 who are single and
otherwise unemployed. And
since a substantial percentage
NJ NYA's trained enrollees
transfer to private employment
each month, the imaginary town
would be the sum of the efforts
q of between $4,000 and 10000
Ohio youth, serving nearly ev-
cry county.
If all the building construc-
tion, conservation, workshop
products, and other work com
pleted by NYA in Ohio during
'pthe past year were concentrated
in one place, it would be a COM
munity in which Ohio could take
! pride. There would be a school
house and four dormitories for

Ohio NYA Achievements
Combined, Would Make City

the training of the towns young
sters, in addition to two other
educational buildings. There
would be two agricultural build
ings for displays and exhibits in
"fair-week." There would be a
gymnasium with five shower and
dressing room structures for
athletic games. Stadia, grand
stands, and bleachers would ac-
commodate the spectators of the
city's sports. Bandshells and
outdoor theaters would allow
townsfolks to enjoy summer eve
ming concerts. Ninety-one shell
terhouses for parks and trails
would be dotted over the sur
rounding land.
Leading into the town would
be more than four and half
miles Of new highways, roads
and streets, and over seven and
a half miles of repaired roads.
There would be three and eight
tenths miles of new sidewalks,
81 new bridges for the town,
and 80 culverts. Guard rails
and curbs would protect the
towns pedestrians, as would the
traffic lines and painted zones,
of which there would be over
1000 linear feet. Over 1900
street signs would mark the
streets.
Over five miles of sewer and
water lines would take care of
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1940-11-28

would be a vast improvement
over the heretofore neglected
fields and roads.
Outside "NYA Town" would
be an airport building built by
enrollees. At the port young
men would work in NYA air
plane mechanics training-for
the defense of all the nations
towns. In the various work
shops scattered throughout the
town young people would be
busy making home furniture,
school and office furniture, win
dow sashes and door frames, re-
pairing autos, trucks and trac-
tors, making boundry markers
for the airport, and repairing
farm machinery for the farm
ers. Girls would be busy weav-
ing rugs and blankets, making
hospital supplies and household
articles, renovating toys for the
children of the town. Others
would be busy preparing the 49,
200 school lunches that would be
served in year, canning the
$4,000 pounds of foodstuffs.
1t would be thriving town,
this little town that might be, if
all the work that has been ac-
complished in the last II months
were concentrated in one spot.
But as it is, the results of the
thousands of NYA youth are
scattered throughout the 41,040
square miles of Ohio. Each one
of these 1898 youth, who for
merly were unframed and unex-
perienced, is being fitted for
job in private industry, thus
helping to alleviate the nations
unemployment problem, and pro-
viding a reservoir of potential
workers for the national de-
fense industrial program.

Check Up ON Your
Social Security

If you would like to know the
amount of wages credited to
your Social Security account,
the Social Security Board will
send you a statement if you ask
for it.
AS your old age insurance ben
efits, and benefits for your fam
lily also, depend upon the amount
of your wage credits, the Social
Security Board provides oppor-
tunity for a check-up every year.
1t is a chance to make sure all
YOUR wages on covered jobs have
been reported to the government
and duly credited to you. If
there has been a mistake any
where, now is the time to find
out and ask for correction.
For your convenience in max
ing the request, the board fur
nishes postcards which you can
get from any Social Security
Board field office. If there is
no such office in your locality,
ask your postoffice for the ad-
dress of the nearest one.
The card is already addressed
and needs only a 1-cent stamp;
but if you prefer, you can put
it in a sealed envelope, under a
Scent stamp. In any case, the
reply will come to you in a seal
ed envelope.

the sanitation of this imaginary
town. Four wells would be drill
ed to provide water for the cit
liens. Twelve hundred feet of
gas lines would carry cooking
and heating fuel to the house
wives.
Throughout the town and the
neighboring highways would be
dotted the ATS street markets
and roadside stands where farm
ers from neighboring homes
could sell their produce. Two
warehouses and storage sheds
would take care of the surplus
merchandise for the merchants.
There would be 40 acres of
NYA-built parks for the recrea-
tion Of the people. In these
parks would be the % baseball
and football fields, one wading
pool, 36 tennis courts, 80 horse

ovens, and fireplaces would sup
plement the $3.50 tables and
benches in parks for summer
picnics and weiner roasts. The
streams near the NYA town
would be stocked with $4,000
lingering fish.
A greenhouse filled with 49,

major units are concerned plus
probably one and possibly two cruis-
ers, have been able to compel the
allies to a dangerous dispersal of
their capital ship strength, and have
drawn almost all the British naval
forces away from the Mediterranean.
This sea has, 1t appears, been left
to the care of the French Navy. This
theory is reinforced by the recent
report that Gems. Weygand and
Wavell were conferring with the
French naval commander in chief,
no mention being made of any
British naval commander.
But the French fleet, lacking the
two new battleships still at Brest,
WILL be, as spring appears, sharply
inferior in batt]e-line strength to
the Italian fleet. Italy will have six
new or newly reconditioned battle
ships, including the two 35O00-ton-

But just as certainly, no French
government could consider for a
moment abandoning the naval pro-
lection Of Ats most vital sea lane,
that in the western Mediterranean
between Marseilles and North
Africa-unless assured that it would
not be attacked by superior forces.
Indeed, for the control of Italy, it
appeared at the outset of the war
"a theory reflected by the allied
naval dispositionS that as against
1taly's central position, each end of
the Mediterranean required to be
held by fleet equal at least in
battle-strength to the whole Italian
fleet. Yet now the allied naval force
in the Mediterranean apparently
consists Of but one fleet, inferior in
battle-strength to the Italian Navy.
There is, of course, a possibility
that the allies are gambling on the
early completion of the British
battleshipS King George V and
Prince Of Wales, the French Rich
elieu and finishing work on the two
Queen Elizabeths. But they must
also count on the completion of the
