got no right to feel as do
No right. But she couldn't help it.
Past the ball park of the Hollywood
Club. Past the stadium where the
midget auto races were held. Traffic
all snarled up. Same old routine. Bill
took her in his arms. Eyes met eyes.
Folks we're staring at them and
laughing.
They didn't hear Bill say. Darling
oh, my darling. -
1t came from nowhere. 1t came in a
voice that wasn't steady. The lips
that found hers we're hot and eager.
The arms that held her were tight and
possessive. Things began to swim, to
spin around.
She was crying. That was bad. That
was no good for publicity. But some
times emotion gets you, even if you
do fancy yourself an actress. Some
times you forget everything except
that the clouds have vanished and the
sun has come out again.
He swung onto street where there
was no traffic and few pedestrians.
He pulled up to the curb and took
her in his arms again. They were alone
here, alone on a public street. He was
saying. Il can't take it any more.
Ann. If I'm wrong, I'm still not
sorry"
She said, you're not wrong. Bill"
xHEY were back again. They'd
stepped back. not three years or four,
but back to new beginning. Ann was
thinking. I'VE need each other 90
desperately -"
They didn't talk about the past.
They glanced at each other shyly.
1t was all very silly. all very, very
beautiful.
They were on Wiltshire again, head
ed west. Some of the traffic lights were
green and they slipped through. 9th
ers we're red, and they stopped. But
now their kisses we're awkward and
embarrassed. Now. because they were
genuine. they looked less genuine.
Westwood Village: honey and
beautiful. Winding. shady Lindbrook
Drive.
Bill pulled up in front of cottage
that was white and inviting.
Bill said. Il might as we'll tell you
now, sweetheart. This place is mine
ours"
Her eyes opened wide, and he went
on quickly:
II was all washed up in pictures -
that's true. dear. But for two years
I've been selling real estate - and
doing WELL"
Again her eyes asked question.
He said: Danny Mckay knew. of
course. He knew that you wouldn't
ever see me unless you thought it
was to help me. At first. you scared
me - you we're so far away. l could
kiss you. but it seemed that couldn't
ever reach YOU" He bent over her,
looked down at her. will you come
home with me, Ann?"
She lifted her lips. Odd how natural
it seemed to let him kiss her out here
in the public street.
This was no stage kiss. They clung
to each other as though afraid to let
go-e ever.
They didn't even see the bunch of
students who ganged up on the side
walk and laughed raucously.
Then Bill drew away, and he heard

appearance of enthusiasm. So 60 to

They climbed into the car and
started for Hollywood. 1t was Bill
who broke the ice. He said, "Crazy

She said. Its wacky enough to
be good"
He seemed not quite 90 sure of him.
self when he said. Il was surprised"
"-T That I'd do it7 l need the
money pretty badly"
That makes US even." He hesi-
tated briefly. They've been showing
you around. haven't they. Ann?"
YES"
Il tried to see you"
She looked straight ahead. Lets
not play that way. Bill"
"Okay." He shrugged. IF that's
how you want it."
They drove down Wiltshire Boule-
ward and turned left at Rossmore.
Their first two traffic lights we're
green. so nothing happened. But ap-
preaching Vine and Sunset, the light
shifted and there was plenty of traffic.
Bill said. There's our cue. Got ready
for Act One"
He stopped the car. He took his
hands of the wheel and swung around
to her. Bill was good actor. a mighty
good actor. He made it look real. She
tried to relax as his arm went around
her, tried to look ecstatic. 1t was too
embarrassing to be easy.
He bent and kissed her. 1t was a
long kiss. and it must have looked
pretty good to the occupants of other
cars, because there was a burst of
laughter. His lips held hers for long
time, but there was nothing behind
the kiss. Just stage kiss: cool and
calculated. The light turned green and
Bill released her. They'd gotten away
with that first one pretty we'll.
Bill negotiated the car 50 that they
hit red at Hollywood and Vine. Again
they clinched, again his lips held hers,
again they put on their show of affec-
ton. Certain thoughts raced through
her mind. but she resolutely showed
them away. Absurd" she told her
self. This is just public perform

hitting traffic light at every corner.
They we're attracting lots of ribald
attention. Nobody was surprised. be-
cause folks in Hollywood don't sur
prise easily: but they we're amused.
Out along the Boulevard and
through the Strip. Then through
Beverly Hills. Back along Wiltshire
where there were plenty of lights. She
had thrown off some of her early en-
barrassment and was playing her role
better. She was having more luck with
her thoughts. too.
She was no longer conscious of the
laughter and comments they we're
eliciting from the sidewalk specta-
tors. They had become audience in
this odd theater: impersonal and rela-
lively unimportant.
But Ann wasn't enjoying it. She
was beginning to be sorry that she
had come. Looking back on the inter-
view with Danny Mckay that morn-
ing, she was honest enough to confess
that she had felt heroic and perhaps

Ministers Play Big
Roles In Sick Room
Pastoral CounseIling Expected to Take Place Of
Roman Catholic Confessional Claims Rev. Walker

"This tragedy Of world war seems
to me to draw the bonds Of Chris
tian fellowship In the church closer
together at the very time when so
many Of our sons and brethren are
scattered far abroad" stated Rev. DR..
John g. Walker, Second Congrega-
tional Church pastor, yesterday
MOI ning in his sermon, "What Can
You Expect Of Your Pastor?"
DR.. Walker said In part:
Just as these times make us place
high valuation on our country and
our freedom and great many other
blessings we have taken so often for
granted, so I believe that our very
anxieties and deprivations ought to
draw us clo-er together In vital
Christian fellowship. Indeed the
present restrictions on travel and
the obligation to render some serv.
Ice to our country may lead US to
revalue our homes and our churches.
For generation past many Of the
OLD bonds Of family and church 10y
alties were threatened by the pace
Of modern life and the prevalence
Of hundreds of distractions, amuse-
ments, luxuries which tended TO
take us out of the home and away
from the church, to center altogeth-
er too much Of our interest and 10y
atty outside.
Time Is precious but the Christian
pastor Is not too busy to try to help
to deal with vital personal problems.
He will be sorry not to share your
! confidence If you think he can be
of help. You can expect that you
can speak to him with the utmost
confidence. A minister, like q doctor,
assumes that there are some things
he will keep to himself and without
even being asked to do so. Pastoral
calling and counselling, which are
characteristic of the Protestant
churches, are expected to take the
place of the Roman Catholic confess
sional and 1t is generally agreed

JAIL SENTENCE
FOR SCHUMAKER
Former Local Man Was
Charged With Careless
ness in Fatal Hotel Fire

A jail sentence Of three months
was imposed on Albert Schumacher
40, formerly of waterbury, by Judge
Fred Trotta In New Haven city court
Saturday on a charge Of starting a
fatal fire in the Hotel Lion, New
Haven. 1t was charged that the fire
started from a cigaret careleSsly dis
carded by Schumacher.
Damages Of $4,000 were caused
and a guest leaped to his death
from the burning building.
This is an unfortunate situa-
ton" said Judge Trotta in passing
sentence, brought about purely
through the carelessness of the ac-
cused, and brought about also by
his imbibing Of strong drink"
Schumacher, who told court Off
Gals he was a graduate OF Phillips
Andoyer academy, exclusive pre-
paratory school, and the son OF a
former lumber dealer, had been
employed before the fire as a
gardener on a New Haven estat.

SUPPORT URGED

Continued support Of the Us0

Mayor Vincent A. scully, honorary
chairman Of the drive committee.
The mayor praised the generosity
Of those who made possible the
report Of total collections Of $780,.
800 at the first report meeting Of
the USO drive committee Friday
night, but warned against any re.
laxing Of efforts II the goal of 49,.
900 is to be reached.
Merely looking at the total re.
ported" he declared, ut may APP
pear that the USO campaign will
be oversubscribed. But 1t must be
kept In mind that many large indi.
'vidual gifts were included in the re.
port and the greater part Of these
larger pledges have already been
received. TO make UP the balance
Of the total quota Of $4,000, we
must depend on the rank and file
Of Waterburians."

that the confessional has great
strength and usefulness as well as
Its weakness. Certainly It has been
proved over and over again that
men have been able to get @ new
grip on life once they were made
aware Of the great spiritual resourc.
es that are available for them.
The evidence accumulates in these
days that ministers must be pre-
pared to play q larger role in the
sick room. There may have been a
certain reluctance on the part Of
some physicians a generation or so
since to admit anything real and
vital In Christian faith. There were
evidently some doctors who wanted
their patients left very much alone.
Now no doubt many ministers have
Numbered and many Of us are still
making grave mistakes In our pas
toral approach to those who are Ill
but on the other hand 1t is to be
noted that many very competent
physicians are very ready to witness
that the minister can render q very
real and vital service to the patient.
II our well-being depends on our
emotional balance, our mental SER
entity, our spiritual confidence. II
mind and spirit have beneficient or
pernicious power over the body aS
the case may be, surely the minister
can convey something Of his own
faith, something Of his own exper-
fence to the one in need. Doubt,
worry, anxiety, fear prey upon us
when we are In q state Of weakness.
What we need in the face Of q SER
ious operation or during slow con-
valeScence is not only such things
as nursing care, prescribed medi-
cines, the latest means and methods
Of treatment, we need "the perfect
love that casteth out fear" The
head Of the Massachusetts, General
Hospital has been quoted as saying
that over forty per cent Of all the
patients admitted there are not real
" medical but rather mental and
spiritual cases. Dr.. Alexis Carrel In
his book, MAN, the Unknown" lays
great stress on the miracles wrought
by faith and prayer. A great new
field of service is opening UP before
the Protestant ministry. We have
every reason to hope that In years
to come the Christian pastor viii be-
come an increasing factor In the
healing of disease.

then ideally situated to pass on the
Red Front credo to her customers.
Goebbels loudly claims that street.
walkers have been swept out Of ex-
lstence in Germany. But anyone
who walks down FriederichStrasse ut
night during q Berlin blackout will
give that statement the lie.
TIRED WORKERS
REACT QUICKLY
Some authorities claim that PROS
titution In certain sections Is COM
parable to that Of 1870 to 1895, when
girls Of IL were openly soliciting in
Alexanderplatz.
Upon hearing these statements, I
quizzed q German medical specialist
| who divides his time between his
private practice and Wehrmacht
medical duties. He told me that
venereal diseases among soldiers and
civilians alike was reaching o "ter-
Eible" rate.
Others who. react to suggestions
Of the Communist are factory work.
fers, men and women, who are firing
under the burden Of long hours,
cruel taxes, money contributions to
scores Of war welfare funds, and in
ability to obtain clothing and prop
er recreation.
There are Communists In the
army itself who propaganda COM
rades in the field. Converts are
made among nurses who see unbe-
lieable suffering both on the battle
fronts and at home.
One OF the most fertile fields for
planting dangerous ideas" Is Of
fered by the millions Of foreigners
imported by Germany in contract
labor battalions.
THEY'RE EAGER
TO GRASP AT STRAWS
Their own homeland in bondage,
separated from suffering families,
enduring the hardest and dirtiest
work, living In squalor and earning
mere pittances, these men and wo-
men are ready to grasp anything
which offers the slightest ray Of
hope.
] have talked with numbers OF
these contract laborers, some Of
them girls is years old. They are
thrown together without regard to
nationality or differences in sex.
Men and women often are quartered
In squalid barracks.
Today's Red Front In Germany
itself may be merely q spontaneous
revival without plan or direction
from Soviet Russia. But the fact
that II can exist and have followers
in the heart Of Himmler's Gestapo
bailiwick testified to desire for
change among certain classes Of the
German people.
Certainly, among all the forces
now working to split Nazidom wide
open, this hidden second front"
must be considered.
