SHORT STORY
Mark HeIIingernHH''n''

YOU couldn't possibly define the thoughts
that raced through Myras brain as she
stepped from the car and saw him sitting on the
front porch All she knew was that she suddenly
felt cold and panicky.
She wanted 10 run She wanted 10 get away
from there just as fast any human being had
ever Travelled before. She prayed for a miracle
that might cause her to disappear
In the purpliSh haze of winter twilight.
she couldn't be definitely certain that IT was
Whitley There was the tinest chance II was
only some one who looked Ike him But tnen.
as She started up the porch stairs, she saw that
inSolcnt smile and those icy eyes and the white
-tfrrt-r;ir1- croui5cdly down his nose like
stream on watershed
Yes This was Whitley And If Death had been
sitting where Whitley was, she would not have felt
worse

She Loved Him a Lot Then

GO THEY talked. They talked for 20 minutes.
- And all The time they were talking, Myras
mind was wandering frantcally in the past.
She hadn't seen Whitley in more than i years
not since the day the Judge had sentenced him
70 - years in the pcnitentiary and Myra had sat
in the back of the courtroom and CRED. she had
loved Whitley a great deal then; loved him in
spite Of the fact that she knew nc wasn't any
good.
MIRA grew up when they put Whitley away
and ae Sbe grow IN she grew wiser As time
rolled by she realized what a fool she had been.
Then George came along George, WIN
thin face and adoring. George, with manners
and dCcorIm and ambitions. George. so com
pctclv different from Whitley that you might
think they lived in different worlds.

Arm Chair Admiral

TIFIE Japs have occupied about $4,000 islands
in the Pacific. Instead of trying TO drive the
Nipponese from all those islands it would seem
the United States forces would try to capture
Japan and let the Japs stay ON the islands.
This is my first try at being arm chair

unusual house, telephone or automobile license

scores of double header between the Giants and

college, but 1 hardly ever can remember my

First Lady Of Theater?

ONE dramatic writer says Lynn Fontanne is
" the First Lady of the Theater. Another says
the title belongs to Helen Hayes. And stu
another claims it rghtfully belongs to Ethel
Barrymore.
They are all wrong; the First Lady OF the
Theater is Katharine Cornell.
. Jean Harlow was rcfreshingfy frank young
woman She was always confessing something or
pointing out her faults.
For example, she once said:
"YOu know why always wear long skirtsT
My legs terrible"
Now Olivia de Haviland seems to be going
in for refreshing bursts Of condolences. She told
Sara Hamilton:
IL gobble my food. should be ashamed OF
myself I'm stubborn. 1 like TO firt and do SO
outrageousy."

complete cooperation, just as the Demo crats under our retiring governor, Robert A. Hurley, have endeavore in the past two years.
 There are many problems facing Gov ernor Raymond E. Baldwin and his aSSo- ciates. But he is experienced in public life and in the operation of our state government. He knows better than most of us that only constant attention to the business of the state in war will pro- vide that complete synchronization of this state with forty-seven others in the united effort. More than ever we must pull together here in Connecticut; more than ever we must relegate politics and partisanship to the background; united effort is very much in order.
 For the regime of Governor Baldwin we hold the greatest hope; for that of ex-Governor Hurley the highest praise. The one must take over where the other left off. There should be no break in those herculean efforts ex-Governor Hurley has displayed during the past year of warfare. We don't think there will be, but of the Republican Party must be asked at this time that it bend not to the will of the politically-minded men- bers, but cast it's lot with that of the common man, who is the backbone of our war effort

Caroline Goodwin O'Day

Mrs. Caroline O'Day was one of our outstanding figures in public life. Her death this week at her home in Rye, N. Y., removes an important figure from the political scene. A Democrat through conviction she identified herself, first in the cause of woman suffrage and woman'S place in national politics; secondly, the betterment of the working people; and lastly, in the preservation of world peace.
 She began her public political career as delegate to the Democratic conven- tion in 1920. Since then she has been in the thick of affairs political, and from 1885 until her death this week was repre- sentative-at-large from New York state. Although a pronounced pacifiSt she was in favor of a defense program in the course of recent events; but was opposed to Selective service.
 She supported, however, Franklin D. Roosevelt in his defense measures and foreign policies in the present war. She had been associated with Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and aided by her in her (Mrs. O'Day's) campaign work. She was also associated with Frances Perkins. Her great interest and hope always was bigger and greater role for women in politics. A woman of good judgment, rare discernment and exceptional traits she will be a loss to her country, her party, associates and family

A Thought for Today
Just 9 Minute, MT. Hemingway

OptismiStS have been coming up reg ularly of late with suggestions about what we should do with the German people after the armistice. They are careful to preface their remarks with the assurance that theirs will be "a Chris tian peace," but little investigation into the terms suggested, reveals that their ideas of Christianity are bit novel, to put it mildly.
 The blandest suggestion so far, has come from the pen of that well-known bell toller, Ernest Hemingway, who in SistS unblushingly that the eXtermination of Germany can best be accomplished by sterilization. But MT. Hemingway is all for this thing we call Christian peace.
 According to Christian ethics, we judge the morality of an act by three things: CD the end of the action, (2) the end of the doer of the action, and (3) the cir cumstances effecting either.
 Now, with regard to MT. Hemingway's proposal, we do not have to go beyond the first norm, before we scratch our tian peace the man was talking about. The act of sterilization is wrong in itself. Why? Because it is the usurpation by man of a power that belongs to God alone. Absolute ownership over our lives and the integrity of our bodies belongs to God who created them, and He alone has the right to take life, or mutilate the body.
 It may be clearly proved that civil authority enjoys mandate from God to punish the evil doer (the murderer, for instance) by death, and also by mutila- tion, but by what other title can the state claim such a preragative? MT. Hemingway will answer: on title of preserving the common interests and well-being of the world, just as mutila- ton is lawful for the. Well-being of the individual organism, so 1t is lawful for the well-being of the United States to mutilate individuals for the common good. But, the greatest Christian ethi- clans of all ages have contended that there is not an exact comparison between the members of a human body with rela- tion to the whole organism, and the members of state or world with rela- ton to the whole world. Why have they held this to be true? Precisely because bodily members exist for the good of the. individual, but individual men do not exist for the good of the state.
 In fact, our United States is founded on the very opposite belief: that the state exists for the good of the individual, to safeguard and to defend his natural rights.
 When, we ask, will that "great Ameri- can" MT. Hemingway get himself and his suggestion in line with the principles on which our country is founded? How does he anticipate a Christian peace founded on such proposal?

BureaucracY~

Premier John Bracken of Manitoba, new leader of the Canadian Progressive Conservative Party, is disturbed about growing bureaucracy in the neighbor dominion. Without passing upon the validity of his worry, here's company for him in misery:
 Before the war Canada had 75,000 Dominion government employees. In November there were 10000, an average of one federal employe to every 100 Canadians. When the American defense program began we had 1,011 ,066 executive employees. Now we have ap- proximately 3,O0o,Ooo, an increase of roundly 200 per cent and current aver age of about one federal employe to every A Americans. More than twice the burden, about five times the rate of increase.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-06

Emily Post has placed her imprima- tur on the thumbing of rides by "lady defense workers from gentlemen motorists" The practice has become good etiquette, Mrs. Post has informed the Office of War Information, because it has become good patriotism. But = the lady mustn't thumb. She should display her defense identification tag. She should "tag" only B and c gasoline ration cars, preferably with several va cancies so that more than one lady can ride. She should thumb Cor tag?) only at trolley or bus stops. And talk should be confined to the lovely weather or the charming scenery. Nothing personal please! And, all kidding far, far aside, nothing about the job. Casual tips helps the NipS.

Cost Plus

The House Merchant Marine Commit tees report on the South Portland (Me.) Shipbuilding Corps financial operations makes interesting reading, particularly for those who always have been suspi- cious of the cost-plus type of war contract.
 The company invested $250,O00 of its owners capital. It's criticized perform ance has entitled it only to minimum fees. Thus far the owners already have taken in $50o,00O, or twice their invest ment. After all penalties have been de- ducted, when the contract is complete. the committee estimates minimum profits at $5,O4O,0OO, or 20 times the investment.
