CHAPTER SIX

Mr.. Queen was mentally sitting
the evenings grist rs he strullcd
back to his house in the warm dark
ness. The leaves Of the big clms
were talking; there was an over
size cameo moon; and his nose was
filled with the scents of Ilcrm!onc
Wright's flowers. But when he saw
the small roadster parked by the
curb before his house, dark and
empty, the sweetness fled. lie felt
that something was about to happen.
A gun-mctal cloud slipped across
the moon, rs Mr.. Queen made his
way along the edge of his lawn on
the multiing grass toward the little
house. A point of fire took snape on
his porch. 1t was swaying back and
forth about waiSt-high to stand

Ellery touched the light switch.
! A young woman was curled up in
a corner of the slidc-swing blinking
at him from behind the streaming
veil Of her cigaret. The dove suede
of her slacks and cashmere sweat
er caught his eyes.
She laughed, little neryously he
thought. and tipped her cigarct
over the porch rail into the dark
ness.

Subject for Sunday, August 13 is:
"Soul." Golden Text: Psalms 62:5.
My soul, wait thou only upon God;
for my expectation is from Him. A
Bible citation from the lesson-ser-
mon is: Lam. 3: "a, 26, 40, So. The
Lord is my portion, saith my soul;
therefore will hope in him. 1t is
good that a man should both hope
and quietly wait for the salvation
of the Lord. Let us search and try
our ways, and turn again to the
Lord. o Lord, thou hast pleaded
the causes of my soul; thou hast
redeemed my life. A correlative
passage from tn eTextbook "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
is: Up. 800: Aid. We cannot deny
that Life is self-sustained, and we
should never deny the everlasting
harmony of Soul, simply because,
to the mortal senses, there is SEEM
ing discord. 1t is our ignorance of
God, the divine Principle, which
produces apparent discord, and the
right understanding of Him re-
stores harmony. Truth will at
length compel us all to exchange
the pleasures and pains of sense
for the joys of Soul.

finished his own breakfast, he SIM
ply ate his fathers.
We never did find out if Bunny
finally got another breakfast.
We just don't realize how much
conveniences mean until we are de-
prived of them. With the town
water being turned off so often, for
the laying of new pipes. it is a lit
tie startling to turn on the faucet
and have nothing happen, until you
remember that the only water in
the house is in a bucket!
Several persons have been"caught
short" when the water was turned
off without notice, and were
obliged to melt ice cubes so that
they could brush their teeth.
Many persons seem to be upset
because so many of the newly re-
surfaced streets were torn up less
than a week after they had been
finished, and they feel that the re-
surfacing job should have been left
until the water pipes were laid
This is true, of course-but then
the people of this town have nc
cause to complain. Some years
ago, they went to the polls and
voted against Smyrna's having a
town manager. Had they been for
sighted, and had we now a town
manager, this bungling would new.
er have taken place-for it would
have been his job to see to such
matters.-So don't laugh at Town

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

Our oldest farmers cannot re-
member such condition of the
market, when corn commanded a
higher price than wheat, but such
is the fact now, the purchasing
price of wheat being So and corn
55 cents per bushel.
July has gone, and we are now
in the last month of summer.
School days will soon be here, and
the tourists from across the water
and the seaside and mountains are
thinking of turning their steps
homeward, and wondering if Sep
TENDER will bring them any bust
ness worth the journey. Mean
while, Senators and Congressman
are drawing over $500 week each
in salary.
A young lady in town went into
a drug store the other day and
asked how much five cents worth
of quinine pills would cost. Seeing
her mistake, she could hardly wait
for her purchase before she hasten

Board met in special meeting to
open, read, and consider the bids
for the putting in of sewerage
system in our town. OF the "a
bids opened, the Board, after a
lengthy discussion, awarded the
contract to Acock & Son, Trenton,
N. j., for S4,6299.86. Work is to
be begun next Monday and is to be
completed by Oct. Is. Six, eight
and ten inch pipes are to be used,
with a sufficient number of flush
tanks, manholes, etc. All sewerage
will probably be dumped in the
Smyrna Creek, somewhere near
Smyrna Landing. Our town peo-
pie think that we are getting the
sewerage system unusually cheap.
Smyrna will now take the lead of
the Peninsula towns, for what
other town is there which is sup
porting an excellent electric light

Veteran Job Priority
Over More Skilled
Men Urged by Nam

The National Association of Man
ufacturers has entered the debate
between Selective Service and union
officials on veterans job preference
by asserting that a returning vet
eran is entitled to his old job even
if he displaces man of greater
ability or more seniority.
Union officials have been contend
ing that such policy seemed for
eign to the intent" of the Selective
Service Act and that 1t would be a
mistake to get jobs for veterans by
taking them away from some one
else. They have asserted this policy
would give veterans "super-senior-
ity' and create dissension.
THE NAM statement, carried in
the current issue of it's law digest,
holds that the Selective Service
language clearly supported job pref
erence for veterans as Selective
Service. officials have been contend
ing.
The digest agreed that seniority,
as understood in labor relations
Technology is property right pro-
tected by the Fifth Amendment to
the Constitution.
But it also called attention to the
fact that the Constitution does not
expressly forbide enactment by Con-
gress of laws impairing obligations
under private contracts.
1T seems relatively clear" the
NAM legal department said, that
an employer is given the choice of
restoring veteran to the position
he left or of giving him another
which is substantially equivalent.
but he is given no choice as to
whether the veteran shall be re-
stored to his job. It is of
no consequence under the law that
the position is held by a person of
greater abilities or more experience
than the veteran or by person
having greater seniority than the
veteran"
The NAM legal digest, however.
said it did not agree with apparent
interpretations of Selective Service
that seem to provide that a veteran
has absolute priority to Job for
one year after restoration.
Seniority would be a factor in de-
termining layoffs due to any reduc-
lions in force, the digest suggests.

Five Nazis in Poland
To Hang for Atrocities
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, Dec 4.-The Moscow
radio last night said all five de-
PENDANTS in the Masdenek concen-
tration camp atrocity trial at Lub-
lin, Poland, had been sentenced to
hang. Their execution will be pub
lie.
The radio said a sixth defendant
had hanged himself in his cell dur
ing the trial.
In the trial. which began Novem-
Der 81, representatives of the Soviet
Polish commission which investi-
gated the German camp testified
that l, 100000 bodies had been ex-
humed from mass graves there.
The accused men were German
SIS elite Guard troopers employed
at the camp. Their main defense
was that they were acting under
orders.
