BACON CUT 2 POINTS

All lamb and mutton items, with
the exception of breast and flank,
and some variety meats, were
ordered reduced by one point. Also
cut one point were beef rib cuts
roast and steak--and sirloin
steak, along with a few pork
items.
Most bacon cuts were ordered
reduced by two points.
Placed on the point table for
the first time were canned fish
products which contain more than
20 per cent of rationed fish, such
as sandwich spreads and fish
paste. They will cost II points.
SUPPLIES RUNNING UP
OPA officials said that the
meat revisions were made pos
sible by prospects that the ma
tons meat stores would have
about z per cent more meat in
September than in August.
They emphasized, however, that
this seasonal Improvement would
not permit substantial reductions
tn att meat point values.
The civilian supply of pork in
September. it was said, is expect
ed to be about 13 per cent above
that available in August and 5
per cent above July.
Lamb production is running
ahead of earlier estimates and the
peak production period has been
entered

her heart, sat down and closed
her eyes.
Anything wrong?" Adam asked
her.
"I'n be all right presently, "
she said, trying to smile.
Shall I get you a glass of wa
ter?"
THANK you, Adam. And send
Brenda to me, please"
Adam hurried off. He spoke to
Brenda in passing, and then went
for the water. AS hewaited at the
faucet for it to run cold, he began
to feel terribly down. WAR. What
devastating thing it was-reach-
ing into every corner of the world,
touching everything and everyone,
and struggling to squeeze the last
vestige of laughter and gayety out
of the universe. Little over a year
ago Linville had been a smiling
town, growing and thriving, and
filled with people who planned, who
laughed, and visited-who married,
had children, and built homes. And
now look at it. Already several
families had received word of the
loss of sons or fathers or hus-
bands. A casualty here-on Elm
street. or maybe Oak, or out in
the Negro section, since several
Negro boys he had grown up with
were now in the service. WAR.
Reaching out-gra sping - squeez-
ing-destroying.
And that wasn't enough. Oh, no,
sabotage and espionage h d to
creep in, threaten the little town.
And it was all his fault. If he
hadn't turned thes old buggy fac
tory into a war plant, Linville
would have been free of the danger
he now felt was hanging over it.
That threatening note-the near
disastrous fire in the engine room
the broken machinery-the batch
of worthless tools. All those things,
small in way, but ominous, an
noying-fear-filling. All put togeth-
Ell to make him feel that Linville
was now built upon the very tip
of a volcano. And all because he
had made it war town. For a
moment or two he wished that he
had never worked to get the tool
contracts-that he had just left the
old abandoned buggy factory as
it was, sagging roofs, rusting ma
chinery, cobwebs and dirt. Then
he remembered that he had been
complimented upon the quality of
tools he was turning out, had been
told that they were being used with
telling effect in the manufacture
of planes and tanks, and his Shout
ders lifted.
What if Linville was sitting on
the top of a volcano? Better that
than having it become town of
serfdom. Better his friends and
dear ones experienced fears and
sorrows than to find themselves
without liberty, without the right
to speak. or do, or even think.
He tasted the water, found hat
it was now running cold, and filled
a glass for Mrs. Plat, who was
talking to Brenda.
will you take over the direct
ing for a while, my dear?" she
asked.
"Of course" Brenda said. cal

"All right, I'll see what I can

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

Mrs. Plat appeared around the
corner of the schoolhouse at that
moment. well, fol heaven S
sake!" she exclaimed. what on
earth are you three doing GU t
there?"
"Playing truant," said Adam.
''The idea! March yourselves
right straight into that schoolhouse
all of you'll
Susan laughed. ''You sound ex-
actly like Miss Simpson, she said,
"a school teacher we once had.
My, but she was bossy."
Il don't mean to be bossy," said
Mrs. Plat. But if we give the
play around Thanksgiving we've
got to get busy. So let's get start
ed"
Adam, Brenda and Susan fol-
lowed her into the auditorium.
The rest of the cast was assem-
bled on the stage, waiting.
But somehow or other the re-
hearsal didn't go very well. 1t was
probably because Adam, Susan,
Jack and Ruth-the four princi-
pals-had so many other things on
their minds, although Mrs. Plat
also seemed a bit absent-minded
at times. For the first time since
they had begun rehearsing h e
seemed to lack fire. So perhaps
it was the fact that her driving
force was missing that things went
badly.
Anyway, Ruth kept remember
ing that Adam had arrived at the
rehearsal with Susan Potter. She
had seen them come up the walk
together before joinging Brenda,
and again she had the upsetting
feeling that Adam was growing
serious in his emotions where Su-
san was concerned. 1t troubled her
and caused her to miss her cue
now and then.
And Jack, watching Ruth watch
Adam, found it difficult to con-
centrate upon his lines. Army life
facing him-maybe death on some
far-off battlefield the girl he
loved showing much too great an
interest in another man. 1t de-
pressed him, gave him that terri
BILE what e-the-use feeling. And, as
consequence, the play he was
rehearsing seemed terribly unim-
portant.
Susan, meanwhile. was worrying
about bill, wondering if he ever
would bring to close his business
relations with Alicia Carter-if the
relations were businesslike - and
feeling at times as though life were
doing cruel things to her. She
even felt pang of downright fear
as the thought came to her that
Alicia Carter was quite able to
break up the Potter home, if she
really wanted Bill Potter badly
enough.
Adam, too, let his problems, per-
sonal and otherwise. interfere with
his attention to the role he was to
play opposite Susan there upon the
high school auditorium stage. The
factory-the things Brenda h a d
told him about Zeb Rottler-Zeb'
aunt in the cafeteria kitchen, and
the sugar and salt episode-and
Otto's trips to Richmond. Putting
them all together, those trouble
some matters, he got almost pan
icky, found it terribly hard to say
romantic lines out of a play man.
uscript.
All in all, it was a pretty sorry
excuse for a rehearsal.

denly limp and looking as though
something were actually breaking

he thought, as though all the life
had drained from her. She handed
him the glass, thanked him and
sighed deeply.
'Is there something bothering
you?' Adam wanted to know.
