CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

MARY'S BURNING resentment
cooled gradually and she began to
see the wisdom of Comics sharp
advice. Allowing her mind to dwell
continually on her brief happiness
with Bruce Martin was leading her
only into an indulgent state of self
pity and an ever growing resent
mcnt toward the present. She be-
gan to make an effort to concen-
trate on her work. to listen to the
chatter of the girls in the wash
room.
1t was a slow process. Her days
seemed now endless, meaningless
drudgery and her mind, each time
her effort relaxed, flew back to its
memory world Of synthetic JOY. But
eventually she regained a measure
Of balance. And even though her
days were empty and endless, still
she was able to face them without
resentment, able to see her prob
lem in something like a reasonable
perspective.
Nov you're functioning again"
Connie gava her a smile Of appro-
baton one night, and Mary felt a
small thrill Of satisfaction. She
was grateful for the feeling. AS
she rode home on the bus later, she
felt the first pricklings Of life In
her numbed heart. The blank wal
which had settled down before her
when ehe lost Bruce was receding
She could feel the future before her
again. 1t might not hold love. But
still 1t would be life function
She knew 1t was worth the living
Fran and Burke we're at the
apartment door to greet her. Burke
had an apron tied around his walls,
and Fran was shouting with laugh

Old Machine Gun
Dangerous

Down at Dupont, Mayor Orren
Reynolds decided to make a patriotic
effort to help with Civilian Volunteer
Week He recalled that in an
old unused local basement there re-
posed an old machine gun, a relic
of the first World conflict. He hauled
out the dirty, rusty weapon and
mounted it in front of the town hall
+. Hardly had he placed the old
death-deaier, before truck drew to
halt and a soldier in uniform dis
mounted and with interest examined
the gun Someone asked if the
gun was different than those used
by the new army "Quite differ
ent," he replied. But this one is
still capable, I'D sure like to try it
out"
Mayor Reynolds told the soldier,
on leave from his Pennsylvania
camp, that he intended to take the
gun apart and give it thorough
polishing and cleaning. He was
much surprised when the soldier re-
marked, YOU'D better be careful,
Mister, don't try to open it here.
That sixteen inch recoil spring has
been known to fly out with force
sufficient to kill man. Whatever
you do, don't monkey" with that
part"

DeadlOcked

A new deadlock baked Lima city
officials in their efforts to award a
contract for municipal collection of
garbage, and solve a problem which
has been plaguing them for two
years.
City councilmen repeatedly voted
at an informal caucus, four to two,
to recommend awarding the contract
to the Terminal Service Co. of Gin
cinnati, the low bidder. Allen Coun-
ty Health Commissioner G. E. Miller
reiterated, however, previous
charge that the low bidder has not
agreed to meet requirements of the
county health board as to disposal
of the garbage in the county.
