Sunday Registration
In Maryland Called
Off By Officials
Action Taken After
Response Proves Small
On First boy
By the Associated Press.

6y the AssOciated Press.
BALTIMORE, Dec. l5.-State Sc
lective service headquarters an
nounced that Sunday registration of
1s-year-old youths will be discon-
tinued.
Comdr. H. c. Bryant, assistant to
the State director, said registration
had been light last Sunday and
added that schoolhouses used for
registration were not heated on
that day.
No men will be registered by any
State board either on Sunday, De-
cember 20, or Sunday, December n,
Comdr. Bryant said.
Registration of youths who be-
came 18 in July and August, for
which Thursday is the final day,
was light throughout last week,
Comdr. Bryant added. He predicted
that draft boards would be able to
handle all registrants without diff
Guilty, since there aren't enough of
them to cause last-minute rush."
Youths who became 18 in Septem-
ber and october are to be registered
from Friday until Thursday, De-
cember "a, excluding Sunday. Those
whose birthdays fall between No.
vember and December 81 will
begin registering on Saturday, De-
cember rs, and after the Sunday
layof registration will be resumed
from Monday, December 20, through
Thursday, December 81.
State headquarters had no figures
available on the number already
registered in the July and August
group. Effects Of the listing of 18-
year-olds on the calling up of mar
ried men, Comdr. Bryant added, will
not be known until we see the
volume Of the present registration,
after the first Of the year."
Meanwhile, Col. Henry c. STAN
wood, State selective service di-
rector, said all men 81 years of age
would be subject to induction, re-
gardless of how near their 38th
birthday might be.
He said he had received no Or
ders from Washington to confirm
reports to the contrary.

Here are the questions that retired

Here are the questions that retired
the contestants:
italians eat spaghetti, ravioli
and Puccini." Ira B. Tice. warden
in the Chevy Chase area, said true"
and the bell rang while DR.. Hagan
explained they didn't eat Puccini.
They sang it.
Female eagles are usually larger
than male eagles" DR.. Raymond
Thomas, assistant chief medical Of
ficer, went down on that one. He
said false"
DR.. Thomas, incidentally, already
had distinguished himself by
responding, in answer to whether
his business had increased because
of over-worked Washingtonians, that
he was an obstetrlcian.
Birds Are Vertebrates?"
birds are classed as vertebrates." :"
Miss Mary F. Eastman, warden in
the Sixteenth Street Highlands area,
said false" She was the first woman
to sit down.
"A male goose Is called a drake" !"
Miss Margaret Farmer of the rescue
service, thought that was true. She
was wrong. A drake is a male duck.
I'm chess, each player starts with
16 men" Dale c. Braungart, control
center public works deputy, appar-
emily is no chess player. He said
that was false.
A series Of War bond questions
were all answered correctly. Then
Richard Barr, chairman Of the
Mount Pleasant area, went down on
this one:
Texas is the State Of the rising
star" It's the Lone Star State,
which Mr.. Barr apparently realized
a second or two too late. He had
called the statement true.
Misses Little Giant"
The man known as the Little
Giant was Emperor of France" He
wasn't, but Mrs. Miriam Wolf of the
Civilian Defense Volunteer Office
thought he was.
Russia was once ruled by little
fathers" Miss Anna C. Moe, an
auxiliary policewoman, forgot about
the czars OF Russia and said the
statement was false.
Mr.. Porter who had answered
briskly throughout. faltered on
There are yellow. pink and white
primroses" but came through with
true" just in time.
THE clover bears pink flowers. n
The statement was true but John
L. Fowler, captain in the auxiliary
police, thought otherwise.
"Grenadine is a type Of carna-
tlon." Both Mrs. Helen D. Giblo,
assistant to the chief medical officer,
and most of the audience thought
the statement was false. It seems
that the French horticulturists do
have a carnation of that name. Mrs.
Giblo sat down.
Meet Obscure Questions.
At that point. DR.. Hagan tried
more flower questions, some obscure
movie characters and some state
ments about railroads that only a
member Of the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers could be expected
to know but Miss Phillips and Mr..
Porter couldn't be taken.
After the quiz show was over, 'The
Kibitzers" had put on a 14-act pro-
gram and Col. Lemuel Bolles, execu-
tive director of District civilian de-
fense, had said a few cheerful words
to the crowd, Miss Phillips confided
she had done plenty of guessing.
Said Mr.. Porter, who Is the father
Of a two-week-old son, IT do a lot
Of reading"

do you like Ferdy?"
II think he's a darling
mot good looking though.
Definitely not. Neither is Nj
gel"
DO good looks mean so much
in a man."
Peggy had an immediate and
definite reply to that. She ador-
ed her brother. you bet, when
they go with something else.
Look at Mike, by brother
HE is handsome" admitted
Fay, who had had almost too
full a share Of handsome hang
ers-on in New York.
Hes more than that. He's
got something" said Peggy.
Then her enthusiasm carried
her away and she began TO talk
about her brother in the way
that younger and adoring sis
ters often do.
"He must be wonderful" said
Fay, as they slowly climbed the
slope toward the smell Of fry
ing bacon that came over the
scent Of pines.
Breakfast at Ferdy's cottage
was a moving feast. The guests
wandered in and out to please
themselves and time did not
matter.
Peggy buttonholed her sis
ter who was slipping a cup of
coffee on the veranda I've got
plan" she announced.
Myra regarded her younger
sister with suspicion.
Time is short" said Peggy
And we've got TO move fast
Myra's apprehension deepen
ed. She distrusted from expert
ence the enthusiasms Of her sis
ter.
Its like this" continued Peg
gy. Mike is crazy about Fay
$50 is Nigel"
That's il" said eggy.
We've got 10 help Mike She
thinks he is wonderful"
who does" asked Myra
Fay Ransom?"
Yes" said Peggy, stretching
the fact into fiction. she told
me so herself"
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-05-06

Myra was doubtful but will
ing to listen.
Her sister had more TO say.
Nov I propose you 60 off with
Ferdy
"Ferdy's already off, paint
ing somewhere and Fay
has gone with him"
80 that's it." said Peggy
slowly. The pest has been ask
ing for her all through break
fast"
The pest you mean,
Badly"
yes. Well, anyway, l think
I would like to string a ! on 9
with Nigel Monkhouse this
morning and see what he is
really like. He's got money
hasn't he?"
Myra's lips Strengthened into
a firm line.
Now, see here, Peggy Mack
I don't like your train Of
thought. Remember your age
Forget yours" replied Peg
gy promptly and without acri-
mony. I'm going to find him
anyway"
you can't He's already gone
to find Fcrdy and Fay"
Where's Nike"
81 haven't seen him for five
minutes
Peggy smiled. Good" She
had already asked Ferdy before
he left where he was going with
his folding easel and other par
aphernaHa. Ferdy had smiled
and told her to come and join
him when she felt bored
She had noticed Fay on her
way with him a minute later
and had taken care 90 tell her
brother just where they were
going.
Then when Nigel had asked
her if she had seen Fay she had
said quite truthfuily that she
had seen her on the way TO the
wharf She did not add that that
was before breakfast. Pleased
with herself, Peggy felt she had
pulled all the strings she want
ed TO for the morning. All that
remained TO do was 20 plant the
right idea in her sisters mind.

They climbed out onto the
wharf and ran to the boat
house. There they stripped their
swim suits and rubbed them
selves briskly with rough tow
els.
My" said Peggy impulsive-
ly. You're lovely"
Fay rubbed herself dry and
picked up her beach robe. IL
don't see that you have much
to grumble at
Peggy regarded her own fig
ure in comparison and she was
not displeased. They were diff
ferent but both slim and trim,
although Fay had the mature
softness that a few more years
had added.
Il think you're so luck y,
said Peggy, fishing with one
toe for her sandals.
Why" asked Fay, knowing
quite well what was in Peggy
mind
IF | could only have a chance
like yours, l certainly wouldn' I
come back here in a hurry"
Fay said nothing TO that. II
was an attitude shared by al
most every girl who knew her.
She was even uncertain her
self whether she had done the
right thing What did she want,
if not success? OF one thing she
was sure, that if she had sue
cess she wanted more control
over il and over the rewards
it brought.
One thing was quite clear. If
success meant being a puppet
pulled by a hundred different
strings and impoverished by a
thousand different d e m a n d s,
then she preferred TO find an
other kind of success or go
without il.
Peggy's next question came,

Petty donned her more mod

robe and slipped into the morn

on the balcony outside the next
room.
"Hullo," she said, with much
greater respect for Fay after
the revelations of last night.
Coming for a dip before break

yes" replied Fay. Wait for
me-"
There were no other sounds
in the house save those made
by Marie, busy in the kitchen,
as the two girls slipped out into
the morning air. They breathed
deeply Of the cool, exhilarating
freshness as they ran down the
brown pine path 90 the lake.
T hrow wing off their beach
robes they plunged into crisp
ly cold waters and swan at a
brisk pace. The sun sparkled
on the water they splashed and
glittered over the wakes they
cut in the still water. Little

surface of the water, bird calls
