He smiled as he offered her his
cigaret case.

said, There is something you

He bowed low, regretted her
refusal to have dinner with him,
and promised to care for her
every whim. She knew he would
breathe a sigh of relief the mo-

Penny had learned what she
wanted to know about the ex-
ecutives of the Kirk mills. Even
this short visit revealed how lit

Kirktown.
Penny smiled softly as she
thought of the surprises which
she was planning. She had spent
many thoughtful hours on an
idea that was now beginning 20
take form.
She found the offices of John

reception room was small and

Penny liked Charlie Jones the

Penny laughed. II just said

sured him he wasn't dreaming,
and outlined briefly her plan.
From her purse she extracted a
clipping
Here's a story" she said,
about the model defense village
of 800 homes built by an air
plane plant TO house its workers.
The village was built so swiftly
that it was finished before peo-

houses, built the same way, on

and enlarged upon Penny's en-
thusiasm. This, Charlie Jones
assured her, had always been his
greatest ambition in life. To

details of just such project,

Charlie Jones assured her he'd
respect her wishes. His eyes
were dancing for JOY as he shook
her hand. She hadn't been out of
his office minute before all his
young assistants poured from
their cubbyholes to crowd into
his tiny work-room. She knew
she had come to the right place
and the right man.
Penny's drive back to her es-
tate was relaxing. She visualized
Jim's pride and pleasure when
he should see the new village
of KirktoWn for the first time.
She was pleased as punch, she
told herself She had done a good

persue a college course which will prepare them for military leader ship" he said. The new program will permit the completion of at least one full year of college work before students attain their eigh- teenth birthday.
 "One of the most effective ways" the dean stated, in which a young man can prepare himself to con- tributed fuller service to his coun- try Is through continuing his edu- cation. Tn a critical time @ young man of ability should consider 1t a personal obligation to develop his talents for the common good"
 With the scheduling of then next Freshman year to bsgin in January rather than in September of next year as previously announced. Providence College will set up a Freshman year whose calendar and program will begin and conclude at dates slightly later than those scheduled for the regular program. The plan is extremely feasible in that the new session represents the beginning of an academic year, with the advance of Freshman admitted last June to the Sophomore class according to the accelerated pro- gram. A complete Freshman faculty Is therefore available for the in- coming Freshman.
 The Very Rev, Dr. John J. Dillon, o. F., president of Providence Col lege and of the New England Unit of the National Catholic Education al Association, expressed satisfaction with the increased opportunity the new plan gives the college to extend It's service to the local community and to the areas from which the Colleges students are normally drawn. During the critical times of accelerated war programs in col- leges," he continued, we are satis- fled with any necessary adjustments in schedules for the expension of our facilities in order to increase our opportunity to serve the war effort. We must continue to educate young men intellectually, normally, and physically for the emergency and for the victory and peace which are to come"
 Tn these trying days" MT. Di- lon stated, colleges should not lose their dignified position in education in our American democratic civiliza- ton. The nation benefits in war and peace by our colleges. Our best con- tribution Is to continue to educate on the college level. We plan to carry on our function of educating men with basic, objective, scientific knowledge. opposed to all forms of radicalism. Such knowledge will help to run the war and make for a lasting peace. This knowledge Is based on a scientific analysis of human nature and is viewed from the eternal destiny of man."

Much of the work of putting the newly -inducted American soldier ir peak condition is handled by the junior commissioned officers of training company = the corporals one of whom is Corp. Kenneth A, Moody of Waterbury, who is sta- toned at the Medical Replacement Training Center here.
 Corp. Moody, husband of Mrs. Alice Moody of ll8 Byrneside ave- nue, Waterbury, has the important job of seeing to 1t that his squad of from l2 to IS men is properly trained for the difficult and danger ous task of the medical soldier, the soldier who serves unarmed on every battlefront and at every camp, post or station, wherever there are American soldiers.
 Corp. Moody, who gained his pro- motion through his leadership abil- ity, acts as a teacher of the new recruits. Tn his work he trains these men in everything from calis- thenics to the ough job of carrying a litter with patient over an ob- stacle course.
 Starting right at the beginning of each training period with these potential medical soldiers, Corp. Moody gives these men the benefit of the knowledge he has gained not only as 8 trainee himself. but also knowledge which he has gathered from additional personal study and conditioning.
 After hours activity for the medi- cal soldiers includes plenty of box ing, wrestling and jiu-jitsu.
