POST 3-B'

The poet laureate of BIB made a
fine contribution to the log the past
week and it is only right that other
posts should enjoy her brain-child
and profit by the same She is none
other than Mrs. Charles e. Varney,
good spotter:
I'm all in a fog
While reading the log
To understand why it is writ
Is it who does the work
At this little post
Or who gets more gas than his bit?
That all who may read
Shall know of our greed
And know that we're all under par,
Or we'd get us a gun.
And start on the run
And get out and help win the war.
When all's said and done
This service is fun
Compared to the far distant battle.
They don't carry on
By quiet mill pond
Nor listen to the lowing of cattle.
This tripe reminds me
OF the old Pharisee
Who panned all his neighbors and
then
With a countenance meek
And his tongue in his cheek
Told God he was better than them.

Mr.. and Mrs. David Hugg, regu-
lars at this post, are the proud and
happy parents of David S. Hugg,
3rd, born on December II, in Me-
mortal Hospital They think that
the log should be printed, bound
and placed in the library for pos
terity. Little Dave will enjoy some
of the long ESSAYS" written by his
parents.

New Rationing Order
For Farm Machinery
toontlnusd from Flra. PAGE,

machinery, reports that the Della
ware 1943 farm machinery-equip-
ment quotas have been received and
the county quotas around which
the rationing system will revolve
are now being determined.
Rationing Order C replaces, for
all practical purposes the previous
temporary rationing orders. AS was
previously the case, farm machin-
cry is classified into two groups of
schedules.
Schedule l, consists mainly of
heavy farm machinery. All such
items in this schedule that are now
in the hands of dealers may be
rationed.
No purchase certificates can be
issued, however, for other items
under Schedule 1 that are not now
in the hands of dealers, until the
county quotas are announced and
a system of distribution with man
ufacturers and distributors has
been set up.
Items in Schedule IL consist
mainly of horse-drawn small ma
chinery and equipment. Such items
now in the hands of dealers are
not to be affected by the quotas
and are not subject to rationing.
These are frozen in the hands of
and manufacturers,
however.
Because of the necessity of ra-
tioning many types of farm machin-
cry and equipment, Delaware far
mers are again urged to give spe-
cial attention to the care of the !
equipment now on their farms. For
as soon as the quota system is COM
pleted and ready to operate the
of farmers to make pur-
chases will be based on such fac
tors as inadequacy of present ma
chinery, the disposal of old ma
,hinery, and willingness to share
equipment.

FARM BUILDING JOBS
ARE OK'D BY WPB
CONTINUED from First Faye,

In view of the critical shortage
of lumber, applications receiving
the most favorable consideration
are those which call for a mini
mum amount of lumber in side
walls and floors where other ma
terials can be used economically.
Recent cost comparisons indicate
that brick and tile construction
permits saving of fifty to seven
ty-five per cent in lumber and nails
and costs only four to six per cent
more than frame construction, the
institute said.

as good as struck her across the face with it.
All her hope was in those few lines. All her
coming to the city was for him. Now she
wouldn't bother coming She wouldn't have
the heart to.
Should you wish to prolong your stay,
Mr.. Kervin," Henry was saying, there is
nothing at the Office which cannot care for
in your absence"
SooD gosh, Blair was thinking. Here he
was actually on his way to Heather Lodge;
where he and Nan had gone more than once,
where every place he went he would be
haunted by her. And it was too late to call it
off; he would lose face with Henry, and his
self-respect was at zero already. He could
only pray for traffic jam, an accident -
any OBTAINING misadventure.
Look, Henry!'
AT what, Mr. kervin?"

A sweet place, all right, for a traffic jam,
thought Blair hopefully
But we shall avoid it," Henry said. by
turning down here. we go four blocks out of
our way but miss three traffic lights. The
saving is obvious"
Henry was right - as always. The station
clock confirmed leeway of ten minutes.

But Blair knew it wasn't very good. For
Nan had written: You limited that should

town. | find now that shall be coming this
week end, probably Friday to Monday Unless
you happen to be going out of town. we could
arrange to meet. That is. if you have any

Funny what three short words can do to a
man! She was putting it up to him, eh?
Well. he still had his own pride 1t would
do Nan good to let her see that he was getting
along all right solo. He could call in Henry
and toss off wire to her as casually as any
other routine dictation. Take wire, Henry.
It's to to Mrs. kervin. You have her
address, Rush message. . . And while think
of it, reserve room for me at Heather Lodge

Debating it, Blair watched Henry's face.
But Henry, for any visible evidence of in
terest approval or disapproval, might have
been recording an order for carload of
pig lron Piqued, Blair Kervin said sharply:
We'll, Henry, any suggestions"
Henry, studying the text. said judicially:

few words could be saved"
<AND that was all! A few words saved
Henry would probably tell the Angel Gabriel

fellow no soul. thought Blair Could he be
blamed for turning on Henry - for shouting:
'All right! Take the damn thing away and
fix it!'
Il am only suggesting the deeton of what
seem to me unnecessary words, Mr. kervin."
"Okay - okay'
Blair reflected that he should have known
better than to raise an emotional issue with
Evening star., 1942-05-17

Henry. He should have remembered that on
the day of the big shakeup with Nan why
will two people wrangle like fools when their
hearts are breaking? - he had confided in
Henry. Had to talk to someone. Had to get
some of it off his chest or cave in
Henry had said: 1T is a not uncommon
phenomenon, Mr.. Kervin. The ratio of domes-
tic infelicities has risen sharply in recent
years. | believe it stands at about eighteen
divorces for every hundred marriages Off,

l could easily lay my hands on the latest
figures"
Blair couldn't slay Henry, as he fervently
wished to. He could only beg him not to
trouble.
HERE was no escape from Henry's efficiency.
The taxi was at the door. Henry was with
Blair in the taxi. 1t threaded its way through
streets in which dusk was already settling.
In the parks the tinted leaves we're falling
before restless wind Gardeners were raking
them into piles for the burning Blair thought
OF Nan. Together they had walked at dusk
when the first lights spattered the city with
romance They had sat on park benches, hold
ing hands, and watched the flight of leaves
and smelt the sweet acrid leaf-smoke.
You may be interested to know, Mr.
Kervin,' Henry was saying. that l have
looked up those statistics to which we had
occasion to allude recently The percentage of
separations - commonly followed by divorces
- springlng out of comparative trivialities
which ought never to have been allowed to
grow into what is termed incompatibility is
quite startling"
Huh, thought Blair. You're telling me-
Henry. You're telling me- who sit here gnaw-
ing my nails and wondering if, after this Nan
mightn't take bit in teeth and start proceed
ings. lncompatibility. Mental distress. That
sort of thing.
A faint CLEAN of hope hit Blair Kervin's
thoughts, but he knew that it was only a
thousand-to-one chance. He knew that Henry
was too efficient to slip up. Henry - are you
positive that wire went to Mrs. Kervin?" he
asked.
Quite positive
Il think | suggested you could make -
some changes
"All did. Mr. Kervin, was to strike out
all unnecessary words. reduced the cost of
the telegram considerably. Otherwise it went
exactly as you dictated" He was obviously
pleased over having saved those words
But Blair was feeling fiat, caved-in again.
He wanted to talk to someone who wouldn't
treat heartbreak in terms of statistics, or
look on life as gloriied crossword puzzle.
Because he had suddenly got new slant on
