She knew what he meant by that. He'd
tried to get in, but they'd turned him down
because of a punctred eardrum.

stack of unstamped sections. "And if you're

A messenger delivered two dozen roses to
Amy's office the next day, with note:
We've never really celebrated that pro-
duction record of ours. So let's do something
together for change - Saturday night"
Amy swept the roses to her. This wasn't
just circumstantial evidence. With that un-
canny foresight of hers, she already was way
ahead of the situation. This was just the
beginning. The End

She wondered if Dave felt the same, but there
was no way of knowing, of course, because
she couldn't and wouldn't ask him. Not
many words ever passed between them.
The next Friday night Fentriss didn't show
up at o'clock. He still hadn't come at 9.
Amy kept going at the machine, wondering
if he were ill or if he had been called out of
town suddenly. Otherwise he certainly would
have come to work. She was sure of that.

going to get curious all of a sudden about
Dave Fentriss' affairs.
But she didn't have to wait long for the
answer. The very next day, when she bumped
into Kate Willis of the Chronicle, Kate said,
"Amy, I'm curious Tell me, how does your
workshop playmate rate night off to.go
night-clubbing? Or has he figured he's won
his share Of the war already? Davie Fentriss
was having himself time at the Bayside
Terrace last night"
"Bayside Terrace?" Amy echoed. What
was he doing there?"
II told you," Kate said. Having himself

decorated by one Sue Vaughan. gorgeous
red-haired singer who opened there last week.
There was an Army flyer with them too.

AMY nodded vacantly, tiny rage within
her gradually building up to cyclone proper
tions. So Dave Fentriss just blithely took an
evening off to hit the glitter spots! His privi-
lege, of course, but = there was more to it
than that, she inquired.
Monday night he was 10 minutes early
II was Just talking to Pete" he said He

She didn't look up. She didn't even realize
that for the first time he had called her by

Once the words were out of her mouth she
was sorry she had said them. She looked up.
then. A sudden thought of apology came to
her, but she dismissed it. Besides, he was grin
ming. The next thing she knew he had grabbed
her by the arm, almost yanked her off her
feet, and was steering her over to soft drink
cooler in the corner. ''Okay," he said. II get
it. So before you draw up jury of one and
convict me, I'll tell you all about it."
She opened her mouth to protest, to say
she wasn't interested, but he already was
under way.

night at g." Dave said. He's an air-force

was wounded and shipped home. He's on his

VHERE were lots of people at first who
would have sworn it was gag - it
couldn't be true even if every newspaper
IN town DID carry the story.
Dave Fentriss and Amy Hollowell couldn't
be working at the same war plant machine.
Even war itself couldn't bring about that
startling situation! But it turned out to be
true. Now, thought the members of the
County Bar Association, they'd seen esery-

young lawyers. He had ability. ambition.
looks, and got along beautifully with every
one - with one exception. The exception was
Amy Hollowell, the smartest female attorney
IN the State, and the most beautiful.
Amy had oornfower blue eyes and ash
blond hair. She also had figure and pair of
legs that would sway a jury of Egyptian
mummies But Amy never needed those
charms. Not with the razor-sharp brain she
had
She not only knew her law, but had neat
little trick of always being one step ahead of
everything. Give her the tiniest clue to sit

she was one of the luckiest girls in the world.
Twice he had publicly told her 50. Both
times she had been opposing counsel in court,
and had beaten him on the narowest of
technicalities.
They were candidates for secretary in the
Bar Association elections, and the balloting
wound up: Hollowell 422; Fentriss Alb.
They headed district teams in the Com
munity Fund drive, and Dawes team brought
in pledges for $4,000, which was high
for the city until Amy's team came in -@
at the last hour with $34, 800. In short,
they seemed doomed to oppose each
other forever. That's why the shock
ran rampant when people heard they
were teamed up at Columbia Aircraft.
1t never would have happened but for the
labor shortage in the area - shortage so
critical that the factories appealed to white
collar and professional people to work part
time split-shifts. On a split-shift one person
worked from pm. to 8, another from 8 to
midnight. That way, two people could keep
machine going.
AMY and Dave were among the first volun-
teers to sign on with Columbia Aircraft, but
neither was aware of the others intentions,
because they took their two-day training
period at different times. After the training
period, Foreman Pete Honroth assigned his
recruits to the hydraulic presses, stamping
out aluminium longeron sections. Pete was
interested only in production, not in chit-chat
heard at the City Club; therefore, when he
paired off Hollowell and Fentriss at the same
machine, it was strictly Kismet.
They themselves didn't know it until the
shift changed that first night. Amy, who had
the early trick, looked up and saw Dave
standing there, hands on hips, watching her.
A faint trace of shock was still on his face,
but it was giving way slowly to devilish
hunor. "It's just about O'Clock" he said.

meeting was for the purpose of
training leaders from various COM

food shortage in rationed foods
we must have more home pro-
duction.
The canning and drying dem
onstrations were conducted by
Mrs. Dickson and Miss Mary

honor to so young man. 1t is
an honor that has been Worthily
bestowed, and the Chronicle con-
graduates the House and the
party that a choice of leadership
has fallen upon a gentleman of
such wisdom, integrity, and pa
triotiSm.
Mr.. Doughton's chief strength
lies in the fact that he is a man
of excellent judgment. Young
in years, he is old in caution and
carries IAN old head on young
shoulders" He makes few mis-
takes, and is a level-headed,
thoughtful and progressive rep
resentative. He is one of the
youngest men North Carolina has
elected to the speakers chair, AND
yet his record has been such as
to win the confidence of the old
er men who have served with
him.
He is not of that number who
count standing still as conserva-
tism; and while he is conservative
in the true sense of that word, he
is progressive and believes that
every interest of the State ought
to be advanced. He understands
the needs and wants of the State
and fully appreciates the condi-
ton of the people and honors
their temper. From and of the
people, he is in every act seek
ing their education and elevation.
Speaker Doughton is a firm be-
lever in public education and as
a legislator he has always lent
the full weight of his influence
to the betterment of the condi-
ton of the public schools of the
State. Not only does he seek to
give better primary education to
all the people, but he is likewise
deeply interested in the future
growth and usefulness of our
State University and the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College.

Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

Don't spend money on repa-
pering a room now. Clean the
wallpaper with a homemade wall
paper "Cleanit" and make it do
for the duration. There are com
mercial cleaners on the market,
too
Stir 4 teaspoons Of baking soda
into 2 cups of flour. Mix 212 ia
blespoons of household ammonia
with flour and soda, and add IA
cups of water. Beat the mix
ture until smooth, and steam it
in a double boiler for 212 hours.
Leave the cover on the boiler I'M
til the cleanit is cool enough to
handle, and then kneed it in the
hands until it is smooth and soft
like art gum.
Test the cleanit in an incon-
spicuous place, behind a door or
picture, to be sure that the pat
tern of the paper will not come
off with the cleanit
Begin to clean at the top Of the

with downward strokes and
kneed the cleanit as you work.
Be sure that the strokes overlap,

Significant Editorial About
Gov. Dougghton Written Jan.
1891, By Josephus Daniels
Lauded Party Upon Election
Of Beloved Citizen AS
Speaker OF House

On January 8, 1891, an out
standing editorial was written in
Raleigh about an outstanding
statesman by an outstanding edi-
tor
The editorial was about Rufus
A. Doughton and was written by
Josephus Daniels.
"A few days ago I was in Ra-
leigh studying some old newspa-
pers published about fifty years
ago." writes DR.. D. J. Whitener,
popular history professor at A.
S. T. G. Looking through the
files of The State Chronicle, pub
lished by Josephus Daniels, I
ran across a very interesting ed
itorial about the Hon. R. A.
Doughton when he was elected
Speaker of the House and when
he was at the very beginning of
a career of almost unparalleled
service to his native state" DR..
Whitener inclosed a copy of the
editorial. It was written So
years ago. Both Gov. Doughton
and Mr.. Daniels were young men
then. When he was Speaker of
the House, the Governor was only
"a years old and Mr.. Daniels was
only about % years of age.
Since that time, both men
have had distinguished careers,
with Mr.. Doughton serving in
the state legislature for many
years, serving as highway and
revenue commissioners and Lieu
tenant Governor. Besides being
one of the nations most disting-
ished editors, Mr.. Daniels served
as Secretary of Navy during the
first World War and was for eight
years the United States Ambas-
sador to Mexico.
On January 10, of this year,
Gov. Doughton celebrated his
9th birthday. Even at this ad-
fanced age: he is still active in
his law practice here, is president
of the Northwestern Bank, one
of the largest banking institu-
lions in the state and takes a keen
interest in all local and state
Uyi1o monuments
He is frequently referred to as
being the most beloved man in
North Carolina and as being the
states number one legislator.

ed that the Democratic caucus
