She'd look down at the tiny shoes and nod
her head. very slightly, smiling with her
little thin mouth.
When Sarah finished wishing her lengthy
good morning she said And darling, please
don't work so hard. We worry about you,
YOU know You're being very brave and
all that you've been wonderful about -
about Lloyd And we're proud of you. But
honestly, darling, you should try to forget.
Give up that horrible job and enjoy yourself
more. Well. I've got to be getting along.
See you Take it easy, darlingr'
MRs. WILLIAMS smiled to herself, opened
her purse and put dime on the counter.
She was glad Sarah was gone. She really
felt sorry for Sarah. Poor Sarah.
1t was good to be outside again. Mrs.
Williams walked quickly; she wanted to be
there when Bobby Milton got out of Sunday
school. His face would be clean and scrubbed.
his necktie just little crooked, and his sky
like eyes sparkling. He'd be waiting for her.
They could go out to the park and talk for
long time.
First they'd walk to the corner and get
an ice cream cone; then he'd ask her just
Evening star., 1945-05-20

how fast airplanes went, and did she think
he'd ever be able to fly one - big one
with silver wings, like Lloyd did before.
Bobbyd sit in the grass at her feet and look
up and ask again the same questions -
how high you could 60, what the sky and
the blue felt like, and if clouds were soft
like they looked He'd say to her over and
over:
Some day. Nan, can drive an air
plane like that, can't II"
She'd tell him yes, and explain about the
big factory where they made the planes
and how careful they had to be about every
thing - the paint, the little wooden sticks
that fit around the seat, the little tubes and
levers that went inside, how they all had
to be just right, 50 the pilot would know
he was okay.
BOBBY thought she was wonderful -
this she knew. His eyes would get gray and
serious, and he d say Gosh! He'd told her
once that next to being pilot, he'd rather
build airplanes more than anything else
in the world. Some day, maybe, she'd take
him inside the factory so he could see.
Maybe they'd even let him crawl up into
the cockpit, and he could put his hands
on all the wheels and buttons.
Yes, in a few minutes Mrs. Williams
would meet Bobby Milton again and they'd
talk, just like always, she and Bobby; be-
cause Bobby thought she was exciting; she
did more wonderful things than even his
dad did He didn't talk behind her back
about poor old Mrs. Williams like the
rest of them did. They didn't know what
she and Bobby knew - what Lloyd knew.
They thought she didn't know much about
a war - she'd only lost her son - or about
airplanes. They only knew she worked.
They'd see her coming out of the little
brown house every morning wearing her
blue slacks. They didn't know that when
she was inside the big place with the silver
wings spreading over her head, when she
rubbed her hands over the big silver bodies
and looked for paint runs and the slightest
bit of roughness, that it wasn't work or
drudgery.
Monday morning Sarah Milton looked
out her upstairs window and saw the little
old lady wearing neat blue slacks come out
of the brown house. Poor old Mrs.
Williams" she thought again.

Big Part OF Industry She
Had At Time OF Pearl
Harbor Intact

WASHINGTON, May 26.- up -
Japan still is capable of waging
a long war despite destructive air
attac& sand naval defeats which
have cut her off almost entirely
from her stolen sources of rub
Der, oil and tin, the Foreign Eco
nomic Administration said today.
"a large portion Of the war in
dustry she had at Pearl Harbor
is intact said a report by the
enemy branch Of the agency.
In addition, key raw materials
are available in the so : called
Inner zone''-Japan proper, Ko-
rea, Manchrria and. part Of north
China-where japanese war indus
try was organized there before the
war. ''.~
In spite Of major successes in
cutting off Japan from the resour-
ces of the East Indies, Malaga and
the Philippines, FEA said. The Al
lies so far have liberated less than
7 per cent of the nearly 3,000,0 900
square miles of conquered terri
tory controlled by the enemy:
In the inner zone, moreover, are
synthetic oil plants with an esti-
mated capacity Of more than d.
600. 900 barrels in 1914.
with the loss OF the major part
of her navy and the reduction of
her merchant Marine, this qranti-
ty may be sufficient to meet re-
quirernents for the approximately
2, 1000, 900 tons of Japanese shipping
remaining in the reduced area
operations, the report went on.
Food scarcity will not shorten
Japanese ability to resist, FEA
said, although the rice OF Burma,
now occupied largely by the Al
lies. Thailand and Indo China Is
denied the Japanese.
'This will increase the difficult
ties Of the present short food SIP
ply in Japan, but will not seriously
interfere with the war effort and
will not result in starvation in the
inner zone.
practically the whole OF tn e
processing capacity Of the Japa-
nese empire, as well as adequate
supplies of raw materials, lies IN
the inner areas. It is true that IN
terms of Individual industrial cen
tiers and plants bomb damage has
been devastating, and many square
miles of such cities as Tokyo, Ma
goya. Osaka and Kobe, all vital to
