Utica Notes


The Civilian Defense party
the social event Of the Autumn
season in Utica, sponsored by the
members of the Utica Tuesday
Club, was a success both social
ly and financially. This is a
mild statement. 1t far exceeded
all expectations.
The affair was held on Thurs
day evening with Mrs. E. A
Schwarzkoff as hostess at her
lovely home. 4599 Cass avenue
and the following committee in
charge: Mrs. Lloyd r. Hirth
chairman; Mrs. Arthur N. Cha
potion, Mrs. william Erwin, Mrs
Sam Beauchamp, Mrs. Raymond
v. Gilchrist, Dora Hahn and
Norma Wagner. They are to be
congratulated.
During the evening seventeen
tables were at play at cards, and
for this part of the program
there were both table and door
prizes. The door prizes, very
practicable ones, were won by
Norma Wagner, Mrs. John Sic
men and Mrs. Jack Harvey.
The real fun and highlight OF
the party, was an auction sale Of
white elephants" contributed
by club members. Clarence H
Church assumed the post of auc-
tioneer with complete mastery
of the profession and Bruce Col.
Inns served as the efficient clerk
1t was hard to resist bidding on
the alluring parcels all of which
ha been 50 artistically wrapped
by Miss Norma Wagner with pa
per and ribbons in Autumn col
orings. When unwrapped, how
ever, the contents were some
times fearful and wonderful Ia
behold.
Proof of expert salesmanship
came when DR.. L. r. Hirth paid
one dollar for a sad-eyed china
dog, and Lawyer Henry Cages
treasured possession was large
bottle of Romantic Days" per-
fume. Same price.
With coffee almost off the
market, bidding ran high on q
pound of q popular brand. A
sniff or smell of the rare arti-
Gle, the auctioneer stated, would
cost ten cents a person. He col
lected eight dollars for this priv
ilege, and the coffee itself went
to Mrs. Bruce Collins for $3.50
making a total of $1,000 for the
pound. Receipts from the auc-
ton were $500.
Appropriate to the season
pumpkin pie, dOughnuts and
coffee were served by the COM
mittee.
Approximately $50 was clear
ed which will be turned over to
be used for equipment and sup
plies for the Red Cross casualty
station and First Aid. More than
80 people attended.

, Stamps, and when the others
finished buying, the book had
! become q bond.
Summers wrote paragraphs
about downtown football gam
bling, attacking 1t viciously as a
blot on amateur athletics. He
drew apt contrast between typ
ical crooked gambler and baby
Scooter as two influences" on
the gridiron. This anti-gambling
campaign was one in which all
the local papers had joined.
The papers arranged, too, for
Nancy Hale's story to be pub
lished all over the nation, and
that same week a famous picture
magazine sent its best photog-
rapher down from New York.
He flew in, took every possible
shot of Nancy and baby Scooter
and the team and the upstairs
apartment. BY that time the ca
diets had made the loft into a
veritable dream house"
eth be three, four weeks be-
fore we publish" the photogra-
pher said, in farewell. But be
ready, lady. Something big can
pop for you. You got the story
and you look the part. Know
what + mean?"
Nancy didn't know what he
meant, and neither did Blythe,
who stood by. Blythe was \
guest there for the night, and
while feeding Scooter his supper
and romping him to bed, the two
girls talked.
"It's the happiest I've ever
been. Ever!" Nancy avowed.
Pop says you're making a
good secretary. Does he bully
your"
He spoils me. Oh, BLY,, ina
CINE it! l have a job. With a sal
airy. Actual money to spend. A
place to live!"
It was still incredible to the
widow, she who had had so little
and needed SO much. Halfway
through the dishes, they heard a
call below. Nancy poked pref
ty head out her kitchenette Win
dow.
"Yes?"
Unlock for me, will you?
am delivering something
"Oh, Duane!'
The way she shrieked it, the
way she fled downstairs instant
ly, left Blythe cold with appre-
hension again. But in a moment
the other two were coming back
in very noisily. Duane Hogan
carried a huge box of fruit that
bulged at every crack.
They're oranges, sup err
oranges" he explained. From
Dads ranch down on the Rio
Grande. Scooter is to eat one a
day, and you are to eat two"
He wouldn't say much more
and he wouldn't stay for visit,
but If he had worn a red suit and
a white beard he couldn't have
made Nancy happier.
Hes the best Santa | ever
had she thrilled aloud, and
meant it.
You like him, don't you,
dear?' Blythe ventured.
Nancy put her tea towel down
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-10-28

She went In to the bed, kicked
OF her slippers and sat there
hugging her knees, while the
other girl curled up in a rocker.
Only then did Nancy answer.
"Of course" she said, gazing
off dreamily. "Of course l do. :.
! You have no idea what Duane
has done to mel"
"Mmm?" Blythe probed gent
ly.
Blythe darling, do you sup
pose do you mind if ask you
a favor?"
Surely not, Nancy. Aren't we
friends?"
eve are friends. We are! Oh,
l do love you, too! If l ever had
a sister, I'd want her to be you.
Since that night of the wreck
when the last little world Scoot-
er and knew dropped out from
under US"

think l was luckier than you.
there. After all, Nancy, well,
l have been kind of lost in a sea
of males. Pop, catching football,
in an Army camp. It's not like
it was lat the University. War
changes things"
"Oh doesn't it! A year ago l
was happily married. Then :
that happened. And since then It
has been a fight, struggle, worry,
for Scooter and me, until nowl
Now! Oh, Blythe, have ! right
to hope for happiness again?"
Don't be silly! Of course you
have"
IF you could only help me,
maybe, somehow" The pretty
widow drifted off, her lower lip
tucked in, her eyes wide with
eager dreaming. What an ador-
able creature you are, Blythe
thought.
You're only 81" Blythe
prompted. Then after waiting
you asked if l would do you a
favor, but you haven't said
what"
"Blythe-Bly--I could never
do this alone. I'm afraid, l guess.
Afraid of hunger and yes, of Ion
illness again. But I - / want
something now. Something new.
And / want it SO desperately"
Nancy's blue eyes had pooled.
Her voice was husky with emo
ton, in way that touched
Blythe anew.
"Bly, darling, you don't know
what it is to love a man. You
couldn't! But when-even when
he first carried me, l knew that
it had come to me again! When
he lifted me from that wrecked
car, when he visited me in the
hospital, when he brings me
things here, oh, Bly,, his every
word and glance and action spell
beauty in my heart, and yet
know that with him it's kind
ness and nothing else! He does
not see me in a personal way.
But, Bly, Nancy was almost
sobbing now--"as you're my
friend, the dearest friend l ever
had. promise me you'll help!
Promise you'll help make Duane
Hogan see me, and love me in
return!"
