of course, we'll be out for visit as soon as
can get away from my job
For day and a night Will Bartlett didn't
leave his office No work was done. He just
sat there with that last letter on his desk
Then he went home That Friday there was
no paper - the first time in twenty-seven
years.
When you feed man for going on three
wears, you get to know him, and Sarah
Graham knew something serious was wrong.
She went to the house and found Will there,
Just sitting will" she said, what is it?'
He showed her the letters.
Now, most any one else in town, knowing
Will, would have said it was mean shame
and told him how sorry they were for him.
But Sarah, at forty-five, had taken her own
problems with dignity and expected as much
of others.
''Will," she said, lis it the paper you're
sick about or YOURSELF"
Il put my life into that paper. Will said,
80 I'd have something to hand over to my
boy"
Sarah was small, slender woman, gentle
but alert - she'd been one of the prettiest
girls in Ponahasset She looked at the dishes
in the kitchen sink, the dust on everything,
the clothes scattered around, and said,
will, it isn't the paper. There are plenty OF
good men you could groom to take that
over. What's eating you is the thought of
living out your life without Tommy -
without him here in Ponahasset, married
to a town girl and settled down to the kind
of life you planned for him. You forget,
Will, that the war has opened new horizons
for lot of boys
Will Bartlett sat up straighter and glow
cred at her.
Tommy has fine job and he has the
girl he loves" Sarah said. "You ought to be
glad for him, not sorry for yourself
Wills face was white. Get out of my
housew he shouted. Get out and stay out!'
Evening star., 1945-09-09

when I've cleaned it up for you" Sarah
said quietly Without another word, she tied
on an apron and went to work..
WILL took to drinking good deal after
that, and spent most OF his time at his news
paper Office He couldn't have done much
work there, though; the paper was almost
always late, and when it did come out it
was full of typographical mistakes and bad
writing People bought it for two reasons:
they were anxious for news of local boys
overseas, and they felt sorry for Will.
Most of them agreed with him. too, about
Tommy - said it was mighty mean of the
boy to do a thing like that. What they
didn't know was that Tommy and Ruth,
his wife, had begged Will to come live with
them in Oregon, and he hadn't even an
swered their letters
Sarah Graham didn't know that, of
course, but she told Will score of times,
even in front of others. that he was wrong.
She said he ought to be ashamed of himself.
Will never answered her Never even spoke
of her by name.
"That woman" he called her. 1t was the
talk of the town.
The News" got worse and worse.
Then one Sunday morning Will went to
his office. He had decided to quit town for
while and 60 away somewhere - maybe
to Jack Sanders fishing camp in Maine.
First he had to clean up his desk.
In pile of unimportant mail that he'd
meant to look at when he got in the mood
some day. he found an envelope from the
War Department containing items about
local boys overseas - stories filed by COM
bat correspondents so the folks at home
could know what their boys were doing
This paper had been on Wills desk for
weeks, and it would have gone straight into
the wastebasket that Sunday morning -
only he happened to see name on it that

Beet Men Assured Sup
ply Of Sugar

Findlay district beet growers in
annual meeting were assured of a
supply of sugar during the canning
season even though the sugar short
age strips this commodity from the
shelves of retail establishments.
In letter to A. C.. Joost, Fremont
area manager, w. F. Schmitt, vice
president of the Great Lakes Sugar
company said, "Due to the scarcity
of sugar in this country, it may not
be possible when canning time comes
to get sugar at the stores even tho
you may have valid stamps. In ord
er to take care of our growers, we
have decided to set aside quantity
of sugar which we will use to sup
ply our growers in all three factory
districts, Findlay, Fremont and Bliss
field, upon surrender of valid sugar
ration stamps.
"This sugar will be available to
1916 growers during the months of
June or July when stamps for can
ming sugar will become valid. Only
farmers who have beets planted or
growing in 1945 will be eligible"
