nett, her sister, and Ann was
500 miles away.
Also away from home were
Dad and Mother, but almost as
inaccessible as if they were.
Looks like ! have to do the
honors," April said, throwing
an appealing glance at Octavia,
the brown and genial maid-of-
all-work who doomed like .
mountain in the doorway.
"Ah's always scared of dem
things" Octavia observed.
Amt no telling what sort of
trouble they bring"
Slowly, with that mixture OF
bravado and heart-sinking with
which all such envelopes are
opened, April drew forth a mes
sage.
Meet me 7:45 train tonight.
Have three-day leave. Love.
Kent"
Kent was Kent Carter, AIMS
sweetheart. April read the mes
sage again, this time aloud for
the benefit of Octavia. 1t was
Octavia who spoke first. Miss
AIMS sure going to be a heart
broken little thing, what with
her sweetheart home from the
army for three days and she
way off there by herself in New
Yawk."
But with that scared feeling
gone, April wasn't thinking
about her sister being heart
broken little thing" April was
thinking about April.
What am l supposed to do?'
she demanded and saw that 1t
was already after 6 o'clock with
winter darkness thick outside
the window.
Kent Carter arriving in about
an hour and a half! Kent was a
young officer who had been at
Fort Dodd. a training camp,
for several months, one of the
first of the many who had since
gone from Pattonsville as Amer
lea rushed forward its defense
plans.
Yes" and now she was
crumbling the paper, me has a
nerve to send a telegram like
this at the last minute, expect
ing me to upset all my plans"
Octavia reminded her. Seems
like he done send it to your
little sister and not to you.
Prob'ly amt no call for you to
meet him."
Octavia knew, as everyone
else did, that while April Bur-
nett had dozens of men clamor-
ing around her, keeping the tel
ephone line busy and filling the
house with flowers, the quiet
brown-eyed Ann had only this
one shy sutton. Kent.
April considered, one hand
fussing with the bow that fas-
tened her quilted housecoat.
Yes, I'll have to CO." she said
GROSSLY. Ann would never for
give me and Mother and Dad
would raise the roof. The idea,'
they would say. of not sparing
q few minutes to meet this
young man who Is serving his
country, when he comes home

Octavie was persistent. "Ah

fetch him."

FRASER-Foiiowing the rev.
citation of IN outbreak of small
pox In Macomb County, vac
cination was administered to
100 students of the Fraser High
school In q two-week project,
school records showed today.
A preliminary survey of the
students had never been vac
cinated against smallpox. The
figure represents more than
one-half of the entire student
enrolment, the authorities
stated.
The vaccinations were given
by DR.. Eveleth of Fraser. Vac
cine was given to 154 students
in the campaign. Others were
vaccinated by their own physi-
clans to make the total Of 100
who were immunized. Included
in the total is q number who
were re-vaccinated because
their health records showed the
toxin had been administered
more than five years ago, the
report stated.
The program will also be con-
tinued to cover all new students
enrolling ut the Fraser schools.
An increased enrolment Is ex-
pected shortly due to the de-
