 Judy hated women who asked curious questions. She believed ir freedom of movement, freedom oi heart and soul and mind. Yet she heard her voice asking Sandy how he had reached his destination not her voice. A quiet, unmoved voice. A voice that sounded un- caring because 1t cared so much.
 Peg let me refuel with the new oil and come on as had planned She's all right, Judy. You'll like her"
 Am I going to meet her Sandy?"
 certainly, you are. What is this, honey? A quiz on my late adventure?"
 Silly nut, of course not. And why shouldn't you have an ad- venture? You're not bound by any reasons"
 Except that I love you and no- body else will do.
 Are you sure?'

 I'm impressed and the answer to your usual question is in the affirmativen So he still loved her. It wasn't too late. Men couldn't turn off their emotions like twist ing spigot any more than women could.

 But why, JudyP" His voice was perplexed. You've always told me to fly away before. No one knows"
 It was so masculine for a man not to understand so dumb and yet so dear, for Sandy to take her at the words she ha6.,'t meant.

Iron Guard Opens Gotes For Germons in Rumonio

Iron Guard Opens Gotes For Germons in Rumonio R UMANIA fell into the Nazi
 orbit in l940 by the bloodless method of infltration and over- throw of the established govern ment. King Carol was forced to ahdicate and in October Ion An- tonescu, leader of the Fascist Iron Guard, moved to take control of the government. One month later, Rumania signed a pact joining the Axis, became a puppet state.
 But Rumanians, who cherish their independence as much as other states which fell victim to actual military aggression, are fighting back through the under ground.
 Rumania won it's independence from Turkey in 1878, the year of the death of a great Rumanian patriot, Juan Creanga, writer, ec- clesiastic and educator. Creanga was honored alphabetically by his government in the 1887 stamp above commemorating the centen- ary of his birth.
 The guerilla activities in Ru- mania are carried on by thousands of soldiers who deserted the army before it was demobilized, and fled. They blow up railway tun- nels in the mountains, cause land. slides on vital highways, and snipe at German troops.
