 Hollywood, meanwhile, dropped it's sixth straight game after tying the score in the eighth and threat ening with two runners on in the ninth, but San Diego squeezed through for the win.
 San Francisco and Portland al- so divided a doubleheader with Ad Liska holding the Seals to five hits in the opener while his teammates peppered out II bingles. The Seals came back to hit 16 times, scoring five runs in the fifth to win an abbreviated six-inning nightcap called by the curfew ruling

 Good morning, Jim," Penny an- swered, as cheerfully as she could. Hours before she had determined that no note of anxiety would pene- trate her voice.
 'The damage isn't as bad as I thought it would be-" said Jim, "The office got the worst of it.. It'll take more than a bomb to blow up that old press. And our linotype has gone through worse than little fire. The boys were down as soon as the f1remen would let them in. We have most of the mess cleaned up already"
 Penny looked over the damaged room critically. Desks and counter were shattered Splinters. Burned papers soaked with water and chem icals were piled in a corner, ceiling high. She wondered if the odor would ever leave the building.
 You can't work here today, Jim," she observed.
 We don't have to-" he answered cheerily. We have real office now. The bank is going to let us use thei. conference room. It's a lucky thing Castro didn't pick Thursday for his little game. We'll have plenty of time to clean up before we go to press"
 "Jim," Penny said, " know I'll just be in your way today. Do you mind If I take the day of?
 was just going to suggest that myself" said Jim Go out and have a good time. We'll be ready for work by tomorrow"
 When Penny reached stereet level, she noticed two men, apparently absorbed in conversation, at the opposite corner. They paid no at tention to her.
 They waited until she waved to the bus driver to stop Then they dropped their cigarets and walked away. She knew they would report to Castro that she had left Kirk town.
 Penny stopped briefly at the kirk estate. She luxuriated in a cool shower. dressed, and guided the roadster to 3 parking space in front of the building which housed the offices of Jonathan and Jones.
 Charlie Jones welcomed her de- lghtedly. He cleared a space for her to sit down. Then he swamped her with drawings and plans and blueprints.
 When can you start actual con- struction?" Penny asked.
 Tomorrow" he said.
 "Go ahead" Penny ordered. "Get started"
 "Were all set to go," Charlie Jones told her. Tomorrow morn ing the steam shoyels will be on the job. Boy, have I got work to do! I'll telephone the contractors immediately

"First. we have to see how much damage has been done to the plant. If we can't print ourselves, I'll take the Courier into the city. I have 8 friend who'll be tickled pink to help me out. I'll get Lou Macdonald lined up. This is sen- sational!"
 Jim couldn't stay depressed after that.
 "1'll take you home, Penny. You need some rest. Meanwhile I'll check in with the fire department. Besides, I'll have to get story on the fire. want to find some eye witnesses. hope no one was hurt. A lot of windows were smashed by the blast"
 That was like Jim. He had al- ready forgotten his own losses in the excitement of getting a story and in the worry over losses that others might have suffered.
 Please take care of yourself Jim," she said. You need some rest, too, and tomorrow is going to be an especially tough day"
 Don't worry about me, Penny. thrive on this sort of thing" Jim replied. Besides, every hour I work tonight brings me that much closer to settling accounts with Castro"
 His brakes squeahed as he tor tured them to a stop in front of Penny's door.
 Good night" he said. Don't worry about anything. I'll see you in the morning."
 Good night, Jim," she said, reluctantly. Take 1t easy"
 Quiet, except for the sounds of activity in the mill yards, had already descended over KirktoWn. She heard the distant foghorn voice of the diesel-engined limited as It rounded the bend.
 Penny knew that if Midge had returned a light would be shining m the window. She knew that Midge would have much to say and many questions to ask. She was glad the house was dark.
 At the door, she stopped, listen ing. She thought she heard the Iamt sound of footsteps, speeding lightly away. She sensed, rather than saw, a shadow fading away.
 Fumoling for her key, Penny at f1rst didn't see the note tackled on the door. When she did notice the ragged slip of paper, a chill rushed through her.
 Cautiously. she unfolded the mes- sage in big red letters, hastily scrib- bled, Castro had delivered his warn ing.
 Shut up-or else. Take tip from us. Leave town tonight"
 When Penny arrived at the Courier office next morning, Jim was in overalls. The sun filtered through the broken basement win- dow.

 Next, Penny did some shopping The first speech she had ever made from a public platform was scheduled for Friday night. She needed an appropriate dress. And while she was at it, she might as well have a new hat, she decided.
 After that, and lunch, she felt better. An inviting theater offered relaxation. She enjoyed herself completely. To keep Castro guess ing, she decided to spend the night at the estate. She would have a surprise in store for him Friday night.

NI11A1 \ En On winged feet, Penny raced to- ward the office, All around her lights were beginning to pop into windows. Hastily dressed household CTS poured out of their homes, and soon . stream of people was rush. Ing to the scene.
 The Kirktown Fire Department had speedily reused itself. She heard the siren as the engine sped along Central avenue. It seemed to her that hours had passed be- fore she reached the Courier office.
 She searched the faces at the scene of the fire. An eternity ended when she saw Jim-safe. Thank heaven" she said, fer vently. Thank heaven Jim's all right"
 His face was a study in bitter anger. His lips were tight. his head hunched low between his broad shoulders. Jim,s fists were so tightly clenched that his knuckles showed white. Penny pressed back tears. Then anger overwhelmed all other emotions. She shared Jim's bitterness.
 She walked over to him, looked up into his eyes. She offered him comfort without saying a word.
 Lets go, Penny" he said, finally. They pushed their way through the crowd, toward Jim's car. Penny shivered, despite the warmth of the night. Jim peeled off his coat and wrapped it around her shoulders.
 ''This is 1t, Penny" Jim said. Castro has asked for show down. He'll know he's been in 5 fight before I'm finished"
 Please Jim,' she pleaded. Please, for my sake, don't do anything you'll regret. I know what you're thinking. know Castro has it coming to him. There are other ways. Don't spoil 1t now"
 Jim's smile was bitter. "A lot Df people have tried aappeasement. It doesn't work. You can't talk peace with a guy who has gun Stllck in your rIbS. This is war, Penny. It's time to give Castro the only kind of treatment he un- derstands."
 T know, Jim," she said, T feel the same way. Castro is going to get just the kind of treatment he's sntitled to. Listen to me, Jim. Rant you to hear my plan, now"
 Rapidly, the words tumbling swiftly out, she presented her idea to Jim. AS he listened, she watched the changing light in his eyeg.
 Penny he enthused, you're 8 genius. Boyl Wait until they see our paper this week. Your stunt will workI Why Castro has walked right into our arms"

ON LAUNDERING

If sufficient woodland owners
in the county who desire to har-
vest timber this Winter, request
some demonstration on selection
of trees for marketing, measur-
ing the board feet in standing
trees and log scaling, cross cut
saw fitting, piling lumber for
drying, County Agent Murphy
will be glad to set up such meet
ings.
Marketing and home use of
farm timber will be the major
forestry extension projects for
this winter. Good quality logs
from mature trees should be sold
now when the lumber is badly
needed and the price is good.
Low quality logs should be saw
ed into lumber for building re-
pairs. Tree tops and logs not
worth saving should be made
into fuel wood.
Where there are 6 or 8 wood
land owners in one community
who have timber to sell, we can
give them individual assistance
in selecting, measuring and mar
keting their timber. This assist
ance cannot be given to one or
two farmers in a county unless
it can be done at time when
there is a meeting or demonstra-
ton scheduled. For example, the
morning preceding an afternoon
meeting can be used to assist one
or two farmers in marking and
measuring the trees they should
sell.
Send your request for assist
ance to William Murphy, Coun-
ty Building, Mount Clemens, as
soon as possible so he can make
arrangements with the State Ex-
tension foresters.
