go out to dinner, just you and I?
No bother, no fuss and you save
your strength and time"
Candace refused to consider
such a plan. Their first Thanks
giving, she said, meant too much.
She wanted to have dinner in
their own home, she was determ-
ined they should have guests. IT
want to do all the things women
for generations have done to get
ready for Thanksgiving. Well
have two kinds of pie, shall we,
and let's ask Mrs. Daffodil for her
recipe for stuffing a turkey"
II know what you want" Andy
said. "You want something to
remember"
For the Thames the question of
whom to- invite to their first
Thanksgiving dinner revolved
around such details as the num-
j Der of chairs available, the Ell
quette of piecing out their supply
of silver by borrowing and the
amount of money in the budget
envelope marked Margin" They
decided that six at table must be
the maximum number to avoid
overcrowding, and that they must
manage to seat eight for the SIM
pie reason that they wanted to
ask three couples instead of two.
We'll have Leila and Kurt, of
course" Candace checked. Leila
won't be happy with or without
Kurt if she has dinner with her
relatives. They might 60 to a
restaurant, but that's dull. They
can get a restaurant dinner any
day in the week." Andy suggest
ed that they invite Minnie Davis
and Halsey Kenneth. "The poor
guy won't be very gay, but at
least he'll be glooming among
friends. Between watching his
fathers business evaporating like
moth balls and not knowing when
Minnie will give him the air, he's
in a fine state. What he needs
is to be allowed to watch me
carve the turkey-if that doesn't
settle his nerves, nothing will"
She wasn't sure that she could
endure the spectacle herself,
Candace demurred, but every
thing was handy in the first-aid
kit. ANDY, there's girl at the
office I'd like to ask. Muriel
Wright-she's married to an Eng
lish soldier-a Canadian-and
he's here on leave. Muriel has
only one room and gas plate.
He may not get another leave for
ages"
'The honor of the presence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright is request
3D." Andy recited. Lets turn
off the heat and have a fire in
the fireplace. Have we eight
highball glasses?"
! They spent their evenings in
dustriously polishing silver,
washing china and altering the
menu and the list of supplies to
be bought. To their consterna-
ton fair share Of the mishaps
they had optimistically regarded
as gags in the comic strips befell
them, from the overflow of cook
ed rice to the collapse of Andy,
tray-laden, on the highly polish
ed floor.
i The reason for waxing floors,
simply because of guests coming
for dinner, puzzled him long aft
er he had painted his abrasions
with an antiseptic and had picked
the fragments of broken china
from the crumpled rug.
| The floors were more slippery
than she had intended, Candace
confessed. eve tried a new wax
and it's wonderful, only you get
so interested in swabbing that the
first thing you know you've got a
dancing floor"
"You be careful you don't go
on your ear" Andy warned.

On nTheScene
 Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick

Along with wholesome belief in the Oldtime religion and crack lin cOrnbread, Southern Democrats feel that party regularity is one of the keys to heaven.
 Party regularity means voting right. And voting right means vOt- ing the Democratic ticket straight =. submitting to the primary and supporting the nominee thereof. Now it is universally conceded that w. Lee O'Daniel, the singing flour salesman who became a Texas sena- tor, professes to be an old-line Demo- crat. As such he is fully conscious of the intent and meaning of regularity in his party.
 Pappy O'Daniel must remember way back in 1928 when another U. 5. Senator strayed from the true path of Democratic party regu- larity. It was in Alabama and the solOn was another demagogic old reactiOnary, J. Thomas Hef1in.
 Hefin sinned against the Democra- tic party by refusing to vote for or support Alfred E. Smith-the party's 1928 presidential nominee. Hehin made quite a spectacle of both him. self and the U. s. Senate in SO do- ing. So old Cotton Tom Hehin be- came a Hoovercrat That was what the Deep Souths regular Democrats called their fellows who fell from grace back in 1928.
 This correspondent well remem- bers the meeting of the Alabama State Democratic Executive com. mittee after the 1928 election when it duly and officially read Tom lief lin right out of their party.
 Only last March 23, in the city Muskogee, Okla, Pappy ODamel got before an audience and called upon the good people of Oklahoma to turn from his party, the Democratic party and elect Republican congressman.
 Not only did Senator O'Daniel, man being kept in office by the Democratic party, plump for Re publican nominee by the name E. o. Clark, but he attacked Nev Deal Democrats from the Presi- dent on dOwn,' referred to ''dy- nasty in Washington" and calle. for return to ''sane constitutional government through election men of ability not political parasites
 Of course 1t might be unfair to suggest that O'Daniel has for years been a parasite living off the Demo cratic party, but it's fact, none-the- less.
 And the Democratic party replied to ODaniel by sending its Senate leader, Alben w. Bark1ey, (D., Ky.) to speak for its nominee in Okla honla, William c. Stigler.
 But sending Barkley was not enough. O'Daniel must be read out of the Democratic party either by the Texas committee or by the Democratic National Committee. Men who accept the favors of the Democratic party should not be al- lowed to go unpunished after conn mitting party treason.

 THE BRIDE blushed when she read this account of her marriage in the HammOnton (N. J.) Nesos r. A quiet wedding was consum. mated last Thursday evening when Miss Mildred Smith became the bride of S/Sgt. Ralph Jones'
 NO TALE told by returned vet. eran is too wild for some newspa. pers and press associations to carry, so long as it smears organized la. bOr.
 For example, in Cleveland, a shell-shocked, discharged private who had served in the South Pacific declared that soldiers in CuadaI. canal had gone on ''strike" las. summer, throwing down their guns. after they learned about the walk out of the coal miners.
 The Associated Press sent out the interview without checking the facts. A day later the War and Navy departments scotched the yarn as fake.
 Contrast that with treatment given to similar interview by the Detroit 'sFree Press,' which by and large has been decent to labor. A self-styled discharged service man told the ''Free Press" that a thous. and infantrymen in Sicily had dropped their arms in protest against the coal strike.
 Instead of running the fantastic story, the paper got the F. B. I. to grill the talebearer. Under sharp questioning, he recanted the yarn as myth, admitted he had never served in the army and confessed he only sought some publicity.
 DONATIONS of SIS to the Am. erican Red Cross and $lO to the Salvation Army were voted by the New Haven Central Labor Council at it's last meeting.

 "A Phenix City man was mur- dered today by male COW which he had raised for four years from kid. He had almost been bored to death this morning by the COW but his wife went out and separated them, police reported. His wife was not hurt"
 WHEN strikes are declining, that's apparently not news to the daily newspapers.
 Figures just put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the number of workers in- volved in stoppages during Janu- ary was half that of December.
 Man-day losses during the month amounted to only 8-1OOths of l per cent of time worked. which was below December, and only about half average for 1943.
 Newspapers for the most part ignored these figures.

 IN AN IMPORTANT decision, in- volving the Van RaaIte Company, Dunkirk, N. Y., makers of women's negligee, the National Labor Board held that the right of ''free speech'' can't be used to cloak obvious anti union activities.
