HE[uNCER SHORT STORY

Ken walked rather stifly. hands
swinging at side. chest out,
darling quick glances at familiar
faces and places. He grinned
when he passed Jack Heyman's
Automobile Exchange.
The window that once gilt
tered with bright cars now held
a used furnace with a For Sale
sign on it. And pail Of sand.
And stirrup pump.
Parkinson. the butcher, was
still in business. But the win
dow of his store was as blank
as an amnesia victims eyes. Ken
glanced inside. but he didn't see
Parkinson. Probably in the
back. petting a steak.
. And there was Chambers
grocery store. That looked the
same. Ken would never forget
Chandler. For Chandler was the
guy who refused any more gro
ceries until the bill was paid
up-and then ordered Ken not
to see his daughter, Gertrude,
any more.

Repeat Performance

Then, he would have felt bet
ter. much better. And he'd be
able 10 sing and whistle-even
if he had been carted off to
Jail.
He walked back along the OPP
posite side Of Main street and
gave repeat performance. Peo-
pie stopped, and stared, and
grabbed his hand, and fawned
over him, and festooned him
with invitations. And Ken turned
them all down.
Because he well knew why
these people fell over him. He
had a poorish kidney and had
been classified az. And right
now, he was practically the only
single man in all Westonville
under the age Of so!

w Such was the homecoming thought today
OF Waterloo, Ia. mother-Mrs. Thomas +.
Sullivan--who already has given her five sons
to the navy and who is in the midst OF

from just mother to the nations mo Navy

Waterloo felt some pride, just about this time
last year, when the U.S.S. Juneau after COM
missioning, went TO and into battle, carrying
Wateroo's five brothers in its crew.
There were pictures and stories about the
five. To the reading public, Waterloo took on
special importance
Thereafter, the months went swiftly by. Bat
tlefronts changed. There were sea battles, lots
of them. And the eyes OF the Sulllvans mere
at home followed each of those naval battles,
wondering il the five boys might be IN one.

Recalls Old Times

Old times? That was a howl
to Ken. Old times was a lean
ing shack on the far side of the
Manitoc River. Old times was
a tired mother struggling with
neighbors' wash to put oatmeal
in his mouth.
Old times meant leaving school
in the fifth grade and scrubbing
Parkinson's butcher blocks at
night until his hands bled.

Ken stopped to look at the
place. He stood by the curb
and was almost knocked down
by a bright yellow car pulling
in. He moved quickly, as girl
