She liked hearing him tell about the little
Amish boy with the ruptured appendix, down
in the ward, the questions he asked. She liked
the way his eyes glowed when he boasted
about the accident case they had given up
as hopeless last week, the way the old codger
was asking for steaks smOthered in onions

II Short Story Comblete in This Issue

- ARBARA walked slowly down the corridor
from G "a toward the main desk. Dr.
@m@ Spalding should be on duty on the floor
today; at any moment he might step out of
one of half dozen doorways.
Not that she cared whether or not she ever
saw him again, after the things he had said
the last time. Calling her the prettiest nurse
at St, Stephens and making it sound as
though she had gone around snatChing every
good feature she possessed from some other
girl on private duty!
She couldn't help it if she was pretty; she
could only be thankful - She had been until
Phil Spalding had begun his absurd accusa-
tOns. She had regarded her naturally curly
blond hair, her vioet-blue eyes, her pink and
white complexion as simply an extra collec-
ton of assets in her profession, like her extra
certificate in industrial nursing. She would
have been stupid not to have realized that
the swish of her freshly Starched white uni
form through the doorway of a room some
times had as exhilarating an effect on the
patient as the prescribed stinulant for the
heart
Everyone liked her looks - except Phil
Spalding. He'd liked them too - or so she
had thought - until recently. They had had
lot of fun when their hours off duty hap
pened to fit; playing tennis on the hospital
courts, hiking through autumn woods wan
dering through free art galleries. Phil Spald-
ing, like most interns, wouldn't have much
to spend for a long time, but Barbara hadn't
cared about that She would rather listen to
him talk about his ambitions and his theories
than see Tyrone Power in his best extra
priced feature She would rather watch the
way Pills high forehead wrinkled when he
was worried about a patient. the way his
dark eyes became almost golden, the way he
had of hunChing his broad shoulders - oh, so
many things about him -
Good morning, Miss Brandon! How about
stepping across the street to Tonys for a
snack of breakfast with me before you 90
home? You're going off duty now, aren't
you?"
why yes, | am" She couldn't for the
life of her have told which door he had come
out Of he had slipped up on her so quietly.
But -"
"Bur you're in too much of hurry to get
your beauty sleep to stop for breakfast" he
suggested, chuckling, when she hesitated
mo, I'm starving" She gave in. What was
the use - hadn't she been praying she'd
meet him? Now that she had, she'd go with
him, of course. If he didn't like her - little

he had made those cracks the other day he
might have been tired and on edge from
working too hard, from too many nights of in
terrupted sleep. He might even apologize
today.

four other federal agencies, she
said. This survey showed that
one-fourth of the non-reiief
farm families in the country are
getting diets below the nutri-
tional safety line" part of the
year. Fewer than half gets diets
that are really good.
The Importance of getting
good diets cannot be emphasized
too strongly, Miss McClelland
said. For although an unsafe
diet may not put a person to
bed, it can undermine his
health. Persons living very long
on poor diets suffer from "hid-
den hunger"
In one group in the survey all
the families had about the
same income and spent about
the same amounts at the gro
Gerry store, yet some were get
ting good diets and some were
getting poor diets. Those with
excellent diets produced three
times as much milk for home
use, one and one-half times as
much meat, poultry, and eggs,
and almost twice as many veg
etables, fruits, and other home
grown produce as did the famil-
les with poor or unsafe diets.

RECOMMENDS USE OF
FARM-PRODUCED FOODS

Food produced on the farm
for home use can make the diff
ference between an excellent
diet and a diet that is nutri-
tionally unsafe, especially when
money for food is limited, says
Bessie E. McClelland, extension
foods and nutrition specialist at
Montana State college.
This fact is borne out in a
survey recently made by the bu-
reau of economics of the de-
partment of agriculture and

mates of the number of people
who will lose their means of live
lihood as a result of this move
range from 100000 to 100000,

is clear that a termination on con-

cable amount of metals needed

far this will 60 in stopping build
ing of private homes has not been
finally determined, but it will de-
finitely interrupt programs of
building of schools, post offices,
