The Rest Of Ny Life With You

Late in the afternoon Matthew
went around to his mothers apart
ment. She was not at home yet but
Kate expected her any minute. She
offered him iced tea. He accepted
graciously.
The smaller apartment Mary had
leased was pleasant. He sat there,
relaxed, feeling very comfortable
until Mary came in, carrying her
hat in her hand. Her head ached
duly, from the heat and following
violent discussion with a recalci-
trant client Not that Mary had
been violent.
Hi, grandma" grinned Mat
thew. He rose and set down the
frosted glass, which instantly made
a mark on the little table. "How
does it feel?"
Wonderful" said his mother.
I'm terribly happy for you both,
and for myself. May l spoil him,
please ?"
Him, him. You and Irene, you'd
think there weren't any girls in the
world"
She thought, somehow, with so
masculine father one always
thinks of boy babies; not that it's
a scientific attitude. Aloud, she
said, But most men would like
their frst-born to be a son."
That's a fallacy," asserted Mat
thew. II like girl babies, little, cud-
dly ones with big eyes and all that
But it wouldn't make any differ
ence." He took her shoulders and
shook her, gently, saying, "It's
swell, isn't it ;? Now I've got to CO."

Judith? Oh, Judy Lambert. OF

ing back here to live. II seems that
Ella hasn't been very we'll. And so

Sounds as if it was the wrong
way round. Sure, tell her." he re-
pested, and felt a little self
scious, for no good reason.

Irene" said his mother quietly,
Il worry about her. Be good to her,
my dear"
His face was almost comic it was
so utterly blank, amazement having
momentarily erased all expression.
He said after a moment, GOOD to
her. Look here, don't beat my
women!"
Mary began 10 laugh. She said.
"Of course not. You love her and
she loves you. You're fine together.
| was just talking as a woman
talks" She added softly, your
father was wonderful To me before
you were born"
Naturally" said Matthew. He
bent and kissed her, "Bye," he said.

bonnets. Because next spring :"
She said, smiling, an start saw

She heard him laughing, down the
corridor, after the door had closed
behind him.

STEAL AWAY
By 7. 4. HalI, Milford. D.

By T. 4. Hall. Milford, DEL
In my travels here below
l meet all kinds of folk
Among them in and out / go
Amused at jest and joke.
For folks will laugh and have their
fun
They need some time to play
But there's a time when day is
done
They should steal away and pray.
So many times when we look back
Along the way we've run
We cant but see where we've.
been slack
And left many things undone.
OF course we can't do everything
But we can do what we can
And God still waits for us TO
bring
That which we have on hand.
He only wants what we have got
But He wants II as gift
He's not concerned with what we
have not
But with something He can lift
So steal away in secret prayer
All. it pays to steal away
Whatever you have just leave IL
there &,
He'll bless for another day. 1t

IN AMERICA every editor is on
sentry duty. guarding constantly
against all encroachments on the
Freedom of the Press. 1t has al
ways been like this. Ever since the
press battled for and won freedom
of expression, its guardians have
had to be on the constant lookout
for infiltratiOp by the enemies of
that freedom. Infiltration-pres-
sure from powerful groups to tone
down comment on a situation
pulling of strings to keep a story
from being published-predigested
propaganda releases. But the press
knows the Importance of never
giving up its freedom. For on free
dom of the press depend all other
freedoms that make up democracy.
Therefore. the men of Americas
press refuse to recognize any
check-except military security
on complete, unabridged and invi-
olate freedom to print the truth.
That is the challenge of today to
the courage and the vigilance of
these sentries of Americas press.
