For a second she was afraid he
would. Or was it that she was
afraid he would not want to? She
was surprised when it was Tommy
who set the farewell key by saying
lightly, We'll, so long, III be seeing
you" Not shaking hands, even;
not saying when the next time
would be, leaving her with that
queer let-doWn feeling, as if some
how something had gone wrong, or
at least fallen fiat.
That was silly. Why did'she care
how soon Tommy showed up, OF
how often? He could come, or not,
whenever he chose. She always
would be glad to see him, always
have fun when with him. There was
nothing more to it than that.
Why didn't you var me?"
Mark asked, tossing aside her book
again. She had finished it in the
meantime, but she still spraWled on
the couch, too delightfully."- lazy to
bulge. An emptied glass Of milk
and a plate with the crust of a
sandwich gave evidence Of all the
dinner she had bothered about.

libby said, well, yes-so he

Tibby's color rose in her smooth
cheeks. Sometimes Marg put things
almost too bluntly. "Tommy's very
nice" she said. He's like, well, al
most like a brother to me-"
ooh, YEAH" Marg drawled. Her
keen eyes had not missed the tide
of blood that had burned Tibby's
face. He said he had a couple of

soon built a wire-enclosed, NOV

ground meat from the kitchen. and
the animal was formally adopted.

Private First Glass Elling has de-
veloped a great respect for the in
telligence of animals in Arizona.
While he was walking his post. he
suddenly was brought to attention
BY the call of a coyote. With no in

Are you a coyote?" The answer
came back. "Yippy vi o kiiiii-a. !"
Speaking of animals, the above
mentioned fox can thank his lucky
stars, ancestors. or whatever
fox thanks on such occasions that
he was adopted by medical men.
The men came back from work
Monday to find their pride and
ioy flat on his back, apparently
beyond this vale of tears. Here
was an emergency which called
for drastic action. But the Medical
Corps is always ready for emer-
gencies. Hydrotherapy, artificial
resperation, and other appropriate
first aid measures were used, and
in n few minutes the animal was
as frisky as ever.
A dance sponsored by the Amer

Soldiers were admitted at half

though this was not enough,
brought members of this post as
their personal guests. This writer

Exclusion OF Jews, Negroes
AT Yard Denied

BALTIMORE. - An intra- I'M
ion dispute, which led to a patrol
of the Bethlehem Fairfield ship
yard by coast guardsmen, was
attributed yesterday by a union
official to expulsion of members
for radical activity and not the
hiring of Negro and Jewish work
ers, as previously reported by
other union leaders.
Herman Fornoff. a member of
the executive board of the nation
al chapter of the Industrial union
of Marine C Shipbuilding Work
ers of America, an affiliate of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, and also head of Local 81
of the union, said similar trouble
had occurred in his local some
time ago. Local 43 is involved in
the current dispute.
A spokesman, not identified by
name, of Comdr. Carl II. Abels
office said the coast guardsmen
still were patrolling the shipyards,
although comapny officials said
the factional fight apparently had
been settled.

BUY NAACP
CHRISTMAS SEALS

Once more the season is here
to buy Christmas seals, the most
famous of whihc is the one which
finances the fight against tubecu-
losis. We urge our members and
friends to buy tuberculosis seals.
The various agencies over the
country have done wonders for
Negro health in combating the
disease among our people. In Sc
attic the tuberculosis Society has
a great record of service, deserv-
ing of full support.
And then, there are the NAACP
seals which have been sold an
nually for fifteen years to raise
additional money to carry on the
fight for full civil rights for A
merican Negroes. For the sake of
your health and your citizenship
protection buy both seals this
year and place them on all letters
and packages.
