BY the time Fred served the
minimum term, George Wesley
was cashier OF the bank and an
important young man In town.
He went TO the parole board and
said he had job for Fred.
And on that basis, Fred keane
was freed.
When he got back 10 town,
Fred was in no mood 20 accept
favors from George Wesley,
But there wasn't much he could
do about II at the moment. II
ne didn't accept these favors.
he'd 60 back TO Jail And that
was something Fred didn't care
much about. Re felt no gratl-
tude whatsoever. Far from H..
Every time George lent him a
helping hand, Fred's loathing
increased. In the bank, he
spent q lot Of time, trying TO
figure ways OF crippling the
bankers son for all time.
Soon, George wasn't the
bankers son any longer. He
was the banker. His father
died OF a heart attack. and
George Wesley became presi-
dent OF the bank before he was
thirty. The town merchants
and the local farmers trusted
him implicitly. Some even
thought he would make q
better banker than his father.
A year later, George mar
ried. He modernized his fathers
house on the hill and settled
down 10 happiness. Three DAYS
after Pearl Harbor he tried 10
enlist. And when they rejected
him, he learned for the first
time that that occasional pain
IN his stomach was an ulcer.
Thus. since he was out OF the
war as an active combatant, he
did his best in other directions.
George led all the War Bond
drives. He sat on the big gar

Dear Miss Robinson.
Whether marriage makes life
simpler or more complicated
depends on ones sex.
Being feminine and n spin
ster rather think my life would
be simplifled by marriage be-
cause, first, wouldn't be taunt-
ed BIZ catty females on being an

too old for young unmarried
groups and am an anomaly in
the young married set.
Understand. I'm not dis
satisfied with spinsterhood. per
Sc. I'm congenital, dyed-in-
