shouting in gay, glad outburst.

He moved awkwardly to the
fire. She placed the fork in his
hand, touching the steak with it
to give him his bearings. He
didn't want sympathy. He hated
being fused over and pamper-
ed. Funny how she seemed to
understand him so. well.
Funny, too, as she slipped the
hot coffee, that she couldn't take
her eyes from him. She was
certain now that the wind and
sun had whipped out the white

Then she whispered, out of
this daze of happiness, eyes, l
think l am"
1T had to be like this, Ann"
Ann! Her sisters name. 1t was
Ann he thought he held in his
arms.
Reality came back to April.
She was falling in love with
Kent Carter, her sisters sweet
heart. This couldn't happen
When she'd started out on this
jaunt with Kent today, it hadn't
been to fall in love with him
herself, but to keep him in love
with Ann.
Kent was saying, Were a
lot alike, Ann. We both hate
cheap love-making. That's why
this means 80 much. It's the real
thing"
1.-THE real thing" She repeat
ed it slowly, wonderingly.
She looked down to see the
brave spurts of flames in the
fire suffering out.
"Wait a minute" she tried to
speak gaily. It'll have to rush
for kindling. There isn't enough
fire left to toast a marshmal-
low"
"A good squaw," he grinned.
All the time she was getting
the grill hot and unpacking the
lunch kit, April wrested with
an inward turmoil. Kent was
AIMS sweetheart. So she, April,
must forget him, stop caring be-
fore she cared too much.
Her eyes smarted from the
smoke; she rubbed a smudge
across her cheek; she blistered
her fingers. It was in the quick,
tingling pain that everything
suddenly cleared itself.
There wasn't q problem any
more! Kent loved the girl he
had just kissed. What difference
would 1t matter If she told him
she was April? He might be
startled for a minute, but then
he'd surely have to laugh at
what had happened--laugh and
then kiss her again and say how
wonderful ii was that things had

They had finally developed

sit in the same room longer than
five minutes. Every telephone
ring tangled their nerves and at
night in their sleep their hands
would grip the blankets as Il

OCCUPATIONAL
THERAPY 4
The little gymnasium is the
doctors pride Squash courts,
dart boards, parallel bars. all the
special appliances designed to
help men whose bodies were en-
cased in plaster. whose hands
have been burned and made
powerless, fill the space which
the doctor hopes will some day
be enlarged.
During the pre-war years Mac,
the gnarled little man in charge
of this gymnasium, used to coach
Wimbledon tennis stars. Today,
with his equipment and his years
of wisdom gained from guiding
high-strung champions into top
form, he has become as import
ant to the operation of this base
hospital as any surgeon.
"What about game of
squash?" he asks one airman
whose right arm and leg are par
TALLY paralyzed. The pilot shakes
his head, until Mac tells him the
boy in the next bed succeeded in
standing for half an hour with q
squash racket in his hand.
At this the airman pulls him
self out of bed because Slim, the
blond boy in the next bed whose
big worry just now Is trying to
cultivate q wispy mustache, is
in plaster from shoulders
to waist.
He goes out to the court with
Mac, squash racket in, his left
hand. The doc says in three days
he'll be as concerned about his
backhand as any Wimbledon
star.

downed them.

Kent?" She started conversation
for q little while to keep from
thinking too much.
"Ah, it's q grand experience"
he spoke warmly. You'll have
to see the camp with me some
time soon. It's impressive, mag
nificent. When you get up early
in the morning, you look out
and the first thing you see Is the

But IL il hadn't been like that,

April winked back tears.
When pride in q man mixed
with the new stirring of love,
it made q dynamic combination.
"Tll remember this day the

self saying aloud.
Kent's face was alight again.

he said. II was sure of It,"
And that was q winter Sum

When lunch was over and
Nip had been stuffed with steak

stone wall, where two flat rocks
adjoined to make q love seat.
This was the time to tell him!
She braced herself. She fortified
herself with the thought that all
was fair in love and war-and
wasn't this q little of both?
"Kent." she began, reaching
for his hand, "you were right.
This-this Is the real thing"

grows in the forest where space Is
limited it may grow as high as
so feet clear of branches.
In May or June, when the baby
leaves are developing, the male and
female flowers appear at the base
of new shoots. The two to five
pistillate blossoms, one-third Of an
inch long, are protected by q rusty,
woolly growth. The staminate BIOS
SONS are in dropping spikes four to
six inches long. The winds scatter
the rich abundant pollen from these
catkins to the female flowers. Here,
in the early summer, you will see
the green semi-spherical fruits one
fourth to two and q half inches in
diameter maturing. The kernel Is
well protected. The thick outer husk
covers the thin-shelled nut. When 1t
Is ripe the cutter husk separates into
quarters and the nut tumbles to the
ground after the frost comes along.
The compound leaves arranged al
ternately on the stem have five
or seven leaflets whose narrow base
is firmly attached directly to the
leaf stalk. In early autumn they
turn beautiful yellow.
At one time the fruit OF this tree
was in demand. Today we have other
nuts we can obtain with less trouble,
though the kernel is sweet and well
favored.

IT am in a hurry, but can I help
you draw up water?"
That you can," said the old man,
"and If your horse is strong you
can give me a lift"
That I will" said Carl. He
jumped down from his horse, drew
q bucket of water, and both he and
the old man had cool drink. Then
Carl mounted his horse and helped
the old man up behind him.
Are you going into the next king
dom?" asked the old man.
That I am" said Carl. There
is a witch abroad who is burning
the crops. I hope to catch her"
Hmm" said the old man. His
face broke into a pleased smile.
But Carl couldn't see that, of course.
You see, it was Santa Claus who
was riding with Carl. But he
couldn't tell Carl because 1t was
best Carl make his own plans with
out any help.
That night Carl and Santa crossed
a wide bridge over q deep river into
the next kingdom where Princess
Hildur lived. They slept in the first
farmhouse they saw. Before they
went to bed the farmer told them
all the crops were dying and many
people were hungry. Santa sat
silently and carved a wooden horse
for the farmers small son.
Santa told no one who he was
except the small boy, and the boy
promised to keep his secret. The
next morning the boy gave Santa
pocketful of ginger cookies.
That morning Carl and Santa
rode along an hour before they met
any one. Then Carl saw a young
man in a field beside the road. He
shouted. "Ho. friend! What news
Of the witch?"
The young man shouted back:
THE fields are burning west Of here.
No one has seen her, but she must
be there. am trying to protect our
land"
So Carl galloped ahead and turned
left on the first road.
Finally over the third hill Carl
saw rolling clouds of smoke. There
she must be, old father" Carl called
back to Santa.
BE careful, son." Santa called
back. But Carl galloped all the
harder. They came to part Of the
road where wheat fields were burn
ing on both sides. Sparks flew in
their faces, and suddenly the horse
dug his hoofs into the ground, threw
up his fore legs and refused to go
any farther.
Carl laughed and turned the horse
back to a safer place. He hoped of

Hickory trees are reproduced from

many of our shagbark hickory
trees. A well-developed tree will pro-
duce two to three bushels Of shelled
nuts. Trees from seedlings are not
in hurry to grow up, but they live
to be 100 to 200 years old and some
times older. They have a foe known
