 Although the council of residents has carried out this program, the ! impetus came from two men. One was Saul Allnsly, sociologist with tue Illinois Department of Public welfare. The other was Joseph Mee- gan, a product of Packingtown and one of It's playground directors.
 The one pooled his scientific knowledge with the others Irish en- thusiasm and local pride. Together they decided that the crime rate couldn't be lowered until the social and economic level was raised. They also decided that the community should be allowed to run its own show.
 OVERCOME DHSTRUST
 OF "OUTSIDERS"
 Meegan's presence overcaHne the neighborhood' distrust of "outsld- ers". Soon they had assembled most of Packingtown's numerous societies to talk over civic betterment. Rep- resented were such divergent groups as the Wildcats Athletic Club and the St. Michael Young Ladies' So- dality, the YWCA and the CIO Packing Workers Organizing Com mittee, the AT of L Elevator Opera tors and Starters and the Chamber of Commerce, the Holy Name Soci- ety and the Mexican Baptist church.
 To get people accustomed to working together, as well as to raise money, the council sponsors neigh borhood entertainments, such as an annual Community fair. But the most successful endeavor, from the standpoint of fun as well as finance, is g rather boisterous ball called the Jungle Jamboree, which is held each spring. Last year 1t netted $l2,000. These enterprises, together with $3200 from the Chicago Com munity fund, comfortably balanced the councils 104l budget of $30y000.

THREE's A CROWD
CHAPTER x

Early in the summer Peter had
promised himself that his first
act for the fall would be to get
himself a single room. It would
be more expensive, but there was
no reason then to think that his
allowance would not cover it.
The other arrangement had
been on the whole pleasant
enough: besides Martin, he had
shared a large double room and
alcove with two freshmen, Bill
Ward and Chip Davis. Davis had
come equipped with a portable
radio, though, and it appeared to
be constitutionally impossible for
either himself or Ward to read
or study without its ceaseless
blatting.
He had had another reason,
only half-admitted to himself,
for wanting to make a change:
in June at Tuckaways he had felt
that he would have given any,
thing to be able to erase his or
iginal mistake in having brought
about a meeting between Cand-
ace and Martin; he did not in
tend that they should be thrown
together again through him. And
if he continued to live with Mar
tin that would be almost I'M
avoidable.
All that had now been chang
ed. Rather than increased, ex-
penses would have to be pared
down to minimum, for one
thing. And for another, he
meant to stick closer to Martin
than a brother.
He was quite grim about that
latter. 1t was the one certain
way under the circumstances, he
felt sure, of insuring frequent
glimpses of Candace and, too, it
would enable him to keep an
eye on the way Martin was treat
ing her.
But he was due for some bad
times because of the arrange
ment he knew that. Having to
congratulate Martin had been
tough enough. He had been
afraid that he might not get
through it decently, that ne
might somehow slip and Martin
would realize the true state Of
things. But Martin was too
wrapped up in himself at the
moment, too far gone in delir-
ium of rosy dreams to have not
iced anything.
Having to see them together,
however, was something else
again. He most dreaded the
first occasion. He spent hours
specializing on the best way to
carry it off, whether to be out
when she was expected and casu-
ally walk in later, whether to be
there in the first place, or what.
1t turned out to be easier than
he'd dared hope.

They were all there, including
Chip Wilson and Bill Ward and
the landlady, Mrs. Prosser, who
was very particular about what
went on in her house and who
must of course be introduced.
Ind they were all charmed.
They made a party of it. The
boys went out and got wood and
made fire in the fireplace and
Mrs. Prosser sent up hot cocoa as
a mark Of favor. Candace sat
there looking all that was lovely
and delightful, she was delighted
and delighting, and the boys
were willing testers and every
one was very gay.
During the week Martin,
whenever possible, would 60
over to New Jersey to Candace,
but on her day off she usually
came to Manhattan. Occasional
ly they managed a movie, but for
the most part they sat in the al
cove and just talked. The two
younger boys were frequently
away, but Peter, in spite of hints
from Martin, refused to absent
himself. He would sit in the
other room, honestly trying to
lose himself in his books; and all
the time he would be achingly
conscious of the whispered con-
versations in which he could
have no part. Or of the sudden
pregnant silences that were even
more difficult to bear.
One evening when they came
in Peter thought Candace acted
worried. She seemed to be
wanting a chance to talk with
him; she loitered about the desk
where he sat, picking up and idly
looking at the titles of his books,
and when Martin tried to lure
her away her tone when she
answered him sounded slightly
sharp.
The old camaraderie of the
brother and sister relationship
again existed between Candace
and himself. He asked now,
adopting the old familiar tone of
raillery, Just what weighty
problem is on your mind this
moment?'
Candace started. The frown-
lines disappeared from her fore
head and he saw she made a de-
liberate effort to smile. Moth

Martin grinned at her. IF
anything I'd say indigestion,
probably. We ate at the Greasy
Vest"
She said, "Sir, you jest. My
digestion is such that it could
take care of a grand piano, swal-
lowed whole" But she sounded
absent-minded, her thoughts OBJ
viously weren't with Martin. At
ter an instant she said to Peter,
trying to make it sound very cas-
ual, when did you last see your
father, Peter?"
So that it, Peter thought. She
gueSses about Dad - or she
knows. He leaned back in
his chair, draping leg comfort
ably over its arm, and drew with
elaborate concern on his pipe.
"Oh, one day last week. When
did you?
