But Curley was determined. He
hurried them out to Steve's car and

the drive to Jeans hotel. He or

hustled them to chairs in the court

Jean chuckled with delight as
she sat between Curley and Steve
few minutes later and watched
the upper verapdah and courtyard
rapidly filing with hotel guests and
villagers. There were few radios in
the district. and this was treat.
"A good house tonight, isn't it?"

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE


STEVE WAITED in the court
yard Of the hotel that night with
purpose in his eye.
He had been wondering while he
dressed alone in the shack about
that undercurrent in jeans voice.
He had grown increasingly dis
turbed. OF course she was bored.
Why shouldn't she be? She was
used to swift, interesting city life
Just as he was. He realized for the
first time that if she were to leave
he might get pretty bored himself.
He wondered II he had fallen In
love with her. He smiled down at
his mothers picture on his dresser
as he tied his tie. She had said
once. when you fall in love,
Stevie, you will do 1t slowly, decor
ously, but thoroughly. You'll worry
about her, and take care Of her,
and analyze her and never know
there's another woman on earth"
Well, he had already begun ana
lying Maybe 1t was time he did
some hustling before Jean threw
up her job and went back to New
York!
He arrived at her hotel Ave min
utes early and kept an anxious eye
on her door. Panic assailed him
when Jean was Ave minutes over
due. Perhaps she had already left!
Then her door opened and she ap-
peared. Steve hurried to meet her
at the bottom Of the stairs. A fresh
wave Of appreciation struck him.
She was In knitted dress Of gold,
an antique bracelet set with tur-
quoise on her delicately nodded
arm, her only ornament except for
a brilliantly-hued, soft purse.
Gorgeous Dress" Steve said
warmly as he led her to the car.
Thanks. wore 1t to pose for a
professional photographer once.
The picture won him a prize, so he
bought me the dress"
Steve changed the subject quick
ly. This was a bad start, reminding
her Of her old life. "This.is the night
TO celebrate" he cried. What shall
we do? Drive to our favorite ho-
tel?"
She sighed gently. IT'S such
long drive. Why don't we just 60 to
Tony's."
Steve was disappointed, but raj
lied. "All right, and save our drive
for tomorrow"
But he saw why she had wanted
to go to Tony's when 1t was too
late. The instant they had given
their order, and sad-faced Tony had
slipped away, Jean drew out from
under her purse the New York

generously and buried her face be-
hind her portion.
Steve frowned into the page Of
stock reports. A fine pass he'd come
to, he and his smart resolutions.
He wondered II he should cancel
their order and insist on the ride
to the neighboring town Shed
have to talk to him them-and it
WAS a beautiful autumn night.
But an item caught his attention
on the next page-the comment of
q munitions maker on the rubber
situation. He was reused from 1t by
Tony's pushing the soup past his
elbow, and Jeans laughter. IT
thought for a minute, Steve, you'd
lost interest in our home town pa
per-" she chided. But 1t didn't take
you long to get back into it." Steve
was chagrined, but his moment of
active protest was past. He picked
up his soup spoon. Well, maybe, he
consoled himself. she wouldn't have
liked the ride anyway. They read
on companionably through the
meal, exchanging absent comments
on the news articles. With dessert,
Jean had reached the theatrical
section.
Now, II we were In New York, "
she unused, what would we see to-
night? feel like play. There's

Steve scanned the ads with her.
They debated leisurely, eventually
narrowed it down to a choice be-
tween a musicale and the new
Guild opus.
ooh, MOI" Jean cried suddenly.
'Look-it's the seasons first per-
Torrance Of Garment I'd love to
see it."
"Righto." He pulled forward an
imaginary phone and ordered, Two
orchestra seats, please"
A sharp whistle stopped him.
They looked up to see the tall,
handsome figure of Curley standing
before the booth!
Make that three, II it's for Car
men," Curley grinned at them,
slipping into the seat beside Jean.
"Caramba! Is 1t or isn't II a New

per and went through 1t like a pup

His eyes scanned each page with

On on 50 acre tract of land on the
Wilbur Cross Parkway, 10 miles from
the center of Bridgeport, in one of
the most beautiful rural sections of
Connecticut, Boys Village, "a home
for homeless boys" Is almost ready
for occupancy.
Founded one year ago under the
sponsorship of the First Offender
Movement by New Haven County
High Sheriff j. Edward Slavin,
Boys Village, Inc, represents the
physical accomplishment of an ideal
which began with the founding OF
the First Offender Movement in
1885.
That ideal is the prevention OF
crime among the youth of the nation
by furnishing for handicapped and
homeless boys place where nor
NAL life may be led.
Boys Village is in no sense re-
form school, and its founders have
pledged that every effort will be
made to remove the institutional
characteristics usually associated
with such enterprises.
The property on the Wilbur Cross
Parkway which now comprises Boys
Village includes two houses. a barn

with a big silo, chicken houses, and
several other smaller buildings for
the storage Of farm implements.
Both houses have been completely
renovated with the exception of the
installation Of plumbing, which has
been held up by priorities. The vii.
lage will be ready to operate when
these priorities on plumbing can be
obtained.
The primary precept of Boys VII
lage is that no boy will be commit
ted.
Worthy boys, from all over Amer
lea. will be accepted into an atmos-
phere where they can make their
own living. know that they are not
objects of charity, and when the
time comes, go back out into the
world with feeling Of gratitude for
the careful care and understanding
supervision which they have received
at Boys Village.
One Of the unique departments at
the Village will be clinic where
parents can bring their children for
sympathetic advice. In connection
with this work some of the leading
psychologists and psychiatrists in
the East have promised their CO.
operation.
AS an experiment last year, ap-
proximately $4,000 in crops were
raised at Boys Village by inmates
of the New Haven County jail. All
of this was given to charitable in
situations throughout the state.
Associated with Sheriff SlaWn,
who is President of Boys Village, are
Albie Booth, one of the greatest Yale
football players Of all time, and Will
liam F. Hayes, Of the Connecticut
Prison Association.
Boys Village is a non-profit or
ganization incorporated under the
laws Of Connecticut. None Of the
men named above have received any
money either in salary or expenses
for their work in connection with 1t.
The Board Of Directors Of the VII
lage has not as yet been named. This
will be done when the property Is
fully paid for, when group OF out
standing citizens will be invited to
give the benefit of their experiences
to this work.
Through the generous support OF
public spirited citizens throughout
the state. much of the property has
already been paid for. Originally a
II acre tract, Boys Village was pre-
sented splendid gift of five acres

Osborne Barnes Co., of Danbury.

sat back and said, in effect: "Go
ahead, do what you want" We did
without much cooperation from the
French. So the American G.. I. got
into the habit Of thinking Of the
Frenchman as uncooperative, lazy, OF
dirty. And he still had the Made
moiselle from Armentieres" idea Of
French women.
With this as their attitude, 1t Is
hardly surprising If the G. rs be-
havior has sometimes been less than
correct towards the local population
A specific example may be seen in
the Bab-el-Oued district, a working
class section which was wildly en-
thusiastic in its welcome of oui
troops. Today, largely because Of the
attitude of some of the G.. rs, the
French are reluctant to serve them
in many of the ships in this district
Some of the misunderstanding
have been petty. The campaign rib
bon for this theater has the colors
of the major warning European ma
tons. The French resent G. rs
wearing ribbon which puts France
between Germany and Italy.
Some Of the frictions run deeper
American high wages have put much
of the North Africas' economy out
of lsilter, Algiers manufacturers are
crying for apprentices in vain be-
cause young wome are working as
mattresses or clerks Tor the Ameri-
cans at higher wages. We gave the
Arabs sugar and tea and textiles
Now they say that the Arabs won't
work without these added remunera-
tons.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-11-09

An important difference in view
points between Americans and
Frenchmen is evident here. Patriotic
Frenchmen feel that, while France
has suffered many hard blows,
France never has been defeated. And
indeed many Frenchman never have
stopped fighting. They therefore re-
sent what they feel to be the Amer
leans rather understanding attitude.
AMERICANS LACK TACT
What it boils down to is that the
French feel they are entitled to
American help. The average c. I.
feels that we have been pretty altru-
istic about coming over here and
that we have been pretty altruistic
about coming over here and that
the French should be duly and hum
bly, grateful.
At the highest level this means
that the French Committee, which
is bound and determined not only
to restore the glory that was France
but also personally to be the instru-
ment of its restoration, finds us in
its way in both instances. Our rela-

AFTER LATE MAYOR
Board of Education to
Await Recommendation
From Committee

Changing Of the name Of a local
school to "Scully" in tribute to the
late Mayor Vincent A. Scully was
proposed by Commissioner Anna
Hadden at q meeting of the Board
Of Education last night and the
matter was referred to the school
house committee. Mrs. Hadden sug-
gested that Hopeville school might
be the one selected but state the
choice should be left up TO the
whole board for further thought.
Mayor John S. Monagan, who pre-
sided at the meeting, stated a pro-
posal to name washington park in
honor of both his predecessor and
Mayor Martin Scully, mayor during
World War I, has been made and is
receiving serious consideration. He
said, however, that the school
proposition was a good one and
should be considered in the event
the park recommendation is not fol-
lowed. He suggested that the mat
ter be discussed with the family
Of the late mayor.
The mayor revealed a proposal to
name the municipal stadium for
Mayor Scully did not meet with
favor "for obvious reasons.
