Dudley made public letter
from Stephen T. Early, secrc-
tary TO President Roosevelt,
transmitting to him the presi-
dents opinion that within reas-
enable limits he believed the war
effort would not be hampered
but actually improved by scnsi-
bic participation in healthful
pursuits. The president said his
comment applied to general re-
creation and amusement during
the war effort.
Fred CorCoran, P.G:A. tourn-
ament manager, said the assoc
iation'S golf stars would engage
in as many benefit matches as
possible for Red Cross and other
war activities. To insure ade-
quate amounts for charity, he
said, prospective promoters will
be required to guarantee at
least $500 TO the designated war
agency before the P.GA. will
accept co-sponSorShip.
Meanwhile, some so veteran
golf campaignerS set their sights
for the cXacting par-72 Augusta
national Cou rSe in practise
rounds prior to h c Masters
tourney April 9-l2.
Hottest prospects were Henry
Picard Of Oklahoma City, who
banged out a Sc yesterday, and
Denny Shute of Chicago, who
was credited with a practise
score of 65.
Byron Nelson, nominated by
his pro-golfing colleagues as the
best bet in the tourney, shot a
Warm-up 60, while gallery-faV-
orite Ben Hogan, winner of two
out Of three starts in the Caro-
linas, took a half-heartcd 81 for
nine holes and then headed for
the showers.
Defending c h a m p ION Craig
Wood tried the course but post
cd no score.

Hart Pays
Tribute Ia
FIR. Hebcrt

Coach Lee Hart Of st. Mary
has written a letter TO this de-
partment, which seems worth
while printing, in view of the
part the Rev. Father Alfred He
bert has played in boosting ath-
leticS at the parOchial school.
The sports Setup at the Catho-
lie school was in the doldrumS
when Father Hebert took over
the parish but under his guidance
the program has been steadily
enlarged, climaxing in the nam
ing of Lee Hart as full time
athletic director at the school
last fall.
But let Hart express the feel
ing of the school in his own
words:
ATHLETIC PASSION
THE athletic department of
st. Mary's high school wishes
Father Hebert God-speed and
the best Of luck in his new pas
torate. 1t is with deep regret
and reluctance that the boys Of
the school see him leave, for he
was more than their superior, he
was their best friend. The man
was a sportsman -. He had all
the athletic passion OF a RoCknC
and Cobb and the fincsse of a
McGraW.
Under his regime, the foot
ball team reached its greatest
heights, in the last four years, it
gained championship and twice
finished second. Upon the eve
of his departure, things look
bright because he has built well
from good foundation 80.
He has always had the boys
first in mind; when any question
of equipment or policy arose he
always asked, Do the boys want
it?'

MT. Jones is in. Would you like to see him? MT. Johnathan IS out of town," the busy telephone op- orator said. Penny nodded. Walk right in. Last door to your right"
 Penny liked Charlie Jones the minute she saw him. He was in his shirt-sleeves, studying two sets of drawings offered to him by two young men.
 Sit down. I'll be with you in a minute" he told Penny, without in terrupting his study He suggested a change, asked a question, and sent his assistants back to their desks.
 Now" he said, smiling pleas antly, what can do for you?"
 I'd like to order a model vil- lage," Penny said.
 Charlie Jones was struck dumb.
 What what was that you said?"
 Penny laughed. T just said I'd like to order a model village" Then she continued, eagerly. She introduced herself, assured him he wasn't dreaming, and outlined briefly her plan. From her purse she extracted clipping.
 Here's story" she said, about the model defense village of 300 homes built by an airplane plant to house its workers. The village was built so swiftly that it was finished before people in the vi- cinity knew what was happening. I want 500 homes, built the same way, on the plateau above the present site of Kirktown.''
 When he had sufficiently recover ed his senses, he caught and en- larged upon Penn's enthusiasm. This Charlie Jones assured her, had al- ways been his greatest ambition in life. To plan, to build, to work out the details of just such a project, was the Jones idea of heaven.
 They talked about comfortable, low cost houses. They talked about pleasant, shady streets. They located stores in convenient shopping cen- ter. They found room for a swim ming pool and playgrounds. They were playing an exciting game.
 Only one thing I must insist upon," said Penny. T want abso- lute secrecy. Nobody is to know just what we're doing until it's all done. I want a good job. I want 1t fast. I want no publicity"
 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 to the right man.
 Penny's drive back to her estate was relaxing. -She visualized Jim's rxid0 and ulaasIira when he should

 The slow-moving Kirktown "eX- press" dropped her in front of the Courier office just as the whistle blew for the 4 o'clock turn. She skipped happily down the steps.

THE STORY: Wealthy Penny Kirk has returned from Paris to KirktOwn to learn something about the great steel mills she owns and the people who work in them. Under the name of Penny Kellogg she takes a job on the newspaper run by Jim Vickers, whom she had met in Paris but who doesn't seem to recognize her. One day a bridge at the mills gives way, killing two men. Money had been appropriated to fix the bridge, but had been stolen by a crooked city government dominated by the CastrOs, gang of gamblers.

PENNY KIRK AGAIN
CHAPTER VII

Sunlight had a way of softening Penny's resolutions. She had deter mined to be angry, and to raise the roof when she visited the Kirk of tices. Now, with the suns rays streaming across her bed, she couldn't find frown in herself.
 Whats the smart approach" she asked herself, sitting up to greet the day. T know. They'll naturally think I'm dumb. I'll just play dumb
 She picked a we'll tailored suit from her wardrobe. To it, she added her furs. Standing before the mirror, she practiced few suitable facial expressions. She laughed at herself.
 Somehow, she felt overdressed. She would never visit Kirktown dressed thus. At the Kirk offices, though, she would be expected to look the part she planned to play. What 8 vast world of difference separated Penelope Kirk and Penny Kellogg, she reflected.
 The elevator lifted her swiftly to the 14th floor. A pleasant re- ceptionist smiled a cheery Good morning. May help you?"
 From her repertoire, Penny se- lected a bored look. She managed to tilt her nose couple of notches,
 "Tell MT. Stimson that Penelope Kirk is here to see him. And please hurry" she said.
 The surprised receptionist jumped bo her feet. "Yes, Miss Kirk. Won't you please be seated?" She flew to Mir. Stimson's office with the startling news.
 Penny examined the elaborate and expensively decorated reception room. Its rich carpeting and ma goon- -leathered easy chairs were lux Nrious.
 MT. Stimson, perfectly groomed as befitted the supervisor of an industry so vast as the Kirk steel enterprises, hurried down the cor Tidcr to greet Penny.

 "New York;" Penny said, lis such a bore"
 "Yes. Yes. It is, nisn't it?" he said. Wont you come into my of fice" Deferentially, he led the way
 Are you staying at the estate?' Stimson asked. He didn't wait fol an answer. "Yes. Yes. You must be staying there. Are you quite comfortable? Is there anything al all I can do to make your stay more pleasant?"
 You might give me cigaret old dear" Stimson was obviously flattered by her intimate saluta- tion. He felt more at ease. He smiled as he offered her his cigaret case
 Well, now that I am here, ] suppose I should make the best ot it." Then, reflectively, she said 'There is something you can dc for me, if you will"
 Just ask, Miss Kirk" he said eagerly "I'll be glad to do any thing can"
 My grandfather certainly had some unusual ideas about build ing house. Could you recommend the best architect in town?"
 Why, yes, Miss Kirk" said Stim- son. I'd recommend Jonathan anc Jones. They're the architects who designed my home. Shall I cal them?"
 NO, thanks. I'll drop in anc see them. Just something to do you know" She rose from tht chair that envelopeld her. "Thanl you so much. I really must b. going. By the way, MT. Stimson please don't mention my visit tt the newspapers or to anyone else I'm here for a rest. I'll call you again"
 He bowed low, regretted her re- fusal to have dinner with him, ans promised to care for her every whim. She knew he would breath' a sigh of relief the moment thu elevator door separated them.
 Penny had learned what sh' wanted to know about the execu tives. of the Kirk mills. Even thi short visit revealed how little the. knew or cared baout Kirktown.
 Penny smiled softly as sh thought of the surprises which sh was planning. She had spent man, thoughtful hours on an idea tha was now beginning to take form.
