- ing. George angrily pushed his
chair back with his foot. If only
Anna weren't such a strange little
foreigner, he thought impatiently,
his meals wouldn't be so ~tasteless,
and the burden of keeping house, in
addition to many Of the farm
chores, would fall on her instead Of
him.
With the odor Of the barn stiD
clinging to his clothes, he walked
the short distance to the next farm
to see Anna and speak to her cousin.
Without knocking, he went into the
living room.
- The oma looked up from her
mending i~ndifferently, as if his Wis
its we're too frequent for him to be
considered a guest. Hello, George.
You'll find Anna in the kitchen"
Have you spoken to her yet. Mrs.
Laud?" he asked.
well" Mrs. Laud said slowly, Il
tried to. only she didn't seem to
know what I was getting at" She
paused thoughtfully. Seemed more
that she pretended not to-"
Il see," he said YEARLY.
Il did tell her what a fine, honest
man you are. But her only ambi-
ton right nov is to visit a fortune
teller" She laughed indulgently.

Eyes. Can you imagine? She be-
lieves in them. You see, in Europe
a gypsy once read her palm. And
Anna said that everything came
true. OF course, / imagine little
Anna helped out a lot by twisting
everything that happened to her into
the shape Of that faker's prediction"
They talked a while longer about
Anna, who was only twelve when the
Germans invaded her country. and

how Mrs. Laud managed to get her
to Canada. George. had often heard
the story before. Soon he went into
the kitchen. He leaned against the
wall, faded blue overalls sagging
on his awkward thin frame; his long
neck tipped forward, his blond, SUM-
dried hair hanging over dull blue
eyes.
AS Anna washed the dishes
George could almost see the dreams
in her large eyes-dreams Of a mod
ern knight riding in the wind with
her, the long thick braids of her HAIR
flying behind her.
Her eyes sparkled. II want see
fortune teller"
What for?"
IT want find out who my hus-
band be-"
Suddenly he had an idea, and he
was overwhelmed by his own clev-
erness. What had Mrs. Laud said
a little while ago? 'She believes in
them little Anna helped out a
lot she sure does swear by them
now" His red face frightened with
enthusiasm. After all, he thought,
they would probably be married
some day, anyway. No harm in
hurrying things up a bit. There's
an amusement park fifteen miles
from here" he told her.
On the bus Anna sat quietly in
anticipation. George saw her lower
her wide eyes modestly when she
noticed the men staring at her shy
loneliness. Failing to escape their
glances, she took a white handker-
chief out of her pocket and wiped
away the lipstick with which her
cousin had touched her mouth.
Maybe they don't look now" she
whispered to George. Naive. Thank
heaven she was, he thought. For
his plans were all the likelier to sue
coed.
At the park she walked close to
him, asking every few minutes
where the fortune teller was located.
They came to a row Of booths I'M
der a huge awning and he bought a
ticket. wait here a minute" he
said. I'm be back soon"
He told the fortune teller to de.
scribe him to Anna when she asked
about her future husband. He hand
ed her some money. Don't forget.
Tail man, blond hair. blue eyes
Then he went out. You can go in
now," he told Anna.
While waiting for her, he laughed
Anna wouldn't doubt the oracle for
a minute, ne thought, amused. When
she came out, she looked as if she
we're in a trance. Her large shining
eyes were focused straight ahead.
He fell into step beside her. ''Well
what did she say?"
''Oh, she say wonderful things.
She say l marry tall man. He have
blue eyes with blond hair. And ne
be very good to me. 1 know he be
the handsomest man in the world
And | wait for him." she said softly
Il wait for him forever"

Lynn Says:

Don't Ration Eye Appeal:
Foods that look their best usually
taste the best, too, because
they've been cooked and served
properly.
When garnishing daily dinner
and luncheon p~latters, simplici-
ty is the theme. A few freshened
carrot tops, lettuce leaves. strips
of green pepper or tomato wedges
make the difference between the
family's liking the food and mere
ly eating it quietly.
Cardles, simple flowers or a
bowl of fruit add to the table i'm
mensely. They even seem to
make the food more palatable.
Serve meat balls and chops on
a bed of w~atercress and watch
the difference.
Or. cut grapefruit rind into
fancy shapes with a cutter and
set them against a background

The lower prices are attributed
to a 25 percent increase in pro-
duCtion of wine during 1945 and
to a reduction of than SO
percent in the cost of grapes,
compared to last year, due to a
large grape crop. Discontinue
ance of the compulsory raisin

has resulted in a larger quantity
of grapes being diverted to win

satisfying the little guests. Add a

Nothing But Excuses

More anxiety to get something
done, more real indignation over the
deplorable and inexcusable condi-
tons with which they are dealing,
less inclination to sit back and wait
for the end of the war and to pile
excuse on excuse as to why they can
DO nothing.
These things are needed at the
District Building in connection with
provision of new facilities for the
child wards of District police and
welfare agencies. Until we have
hem, until the Commissioners get
yoing and stop their interminable
;umbling around and talking about
more power for themselves and less
for the Board of Public Welfare,
more months will pass without
appreciable progress toward greatly
needed undertaking.
Congress is in no way to blame
sor the delays in getting started on
new program for housing child
wards of the District. Congress has
been responsive. Nor is the war to
blame. Anybody knows that needed
material for large-scale construction
is now unavailable. The Commis-
sioners knew that when they ap-
peared before Congress five or six
months ago and requested money
for the drafting of plans for a new
Receiving Home and Classification
Center for Children. They knew it
when they asked Congress for an
urgent" appropriation to begin con-
struction of a new heating plant at
the Home for the Aged at Blue
Plains. Congress was sympathetic
and the money was furnished.
But practically nothing has been
done at the District Building since
the money became available beyond
the arduous pursuit of reasons why
nothing can be done now. The
whole purpose of appropriations for
planning postwar building now is to
get rid of the preliminaries, to
reconcile differences of opinion over
the nature of facilities to be built,
to get down on paper the definite
outlines of work to be done when
materials are available. Director
of Highways Whitehurst has made
excellent progress in his department
by following just such policy. The
municipal architects office has been
busy along the same lines.
Commissioner Mason is quoted as
saying "We will get together soon"
It is pretty late to be getting to-
gether soon, but while there is life
at the District Building there is hope.

1t appears that there had been
definite agreement at Yalta that Austria
should be occupied by the forces of the
three Allies. Britain was to send troops
into Southern Austria and take tenn
porary possession of Carinthia and Car
niolia. The United States was to OCCUPY
the Austrian area on the Bayarian
border while Russia was to OCCUPY the
rest OF the country. Vienna was to share
the same fate as Berlin and be divided
into three zones shared equally by the
American, Russian and British forces.
Since we had no direct access to
Vienna it was agreed later that the
American and British token" forces
were to be brought by air and supplied
IN the same manner. Two incidents oc-
surred soon after Viennas liberation.
The Russians in drawing the various
occupational lines in the Austrian capital
took over all the airfields, making it
impossible for their Allies to use them
except with their permission This
meant that every time transport planes
arrived they had to receive permission
of the Russian authorities to land.
But while negotiations to remedy this
situation took place, Russia, without
consulting the American and British
governments as provided for in the Yalta
agreements, formed an Austrian cabinet
under. 75-year-old DR.. Karl Renner.
Although neither Washington nor Lon
don recognized this government and
Moscow was duly informed of our de-
cision the Soviet government extended
its full recognition to the new puppet
organization and pointed out that we
would have to take up the matter of
the presence of the American and British
forces in Vienna with the new national
government of Austria. Austria became
a sovereign" state once more almost
overnight.
This action by Russia was considered
in Washington and London as another
fragrant breach of the Yalta agreements.
All these matters, together with the
failure of the Yugoslav government to
hold free elections and the difficulties
of our diplomatic and military missions
in moving freely in Russlan-liberated
countries, were summed up and sent to
Moscow. In his reply Premier Stain is
reported to have refused to recede from
his position,

ing directorate of the new orsaniza-
ton. 1t is to be as international as
language and intent can make it.
The next nearest approach to supra
national agency is the proposed court
of international justice, which, like the
World Court, is to sit for the present at
The Hague. But even in the case of the
court the probabilities are that its juris-
diction will be optional, and not COM
pulsory.
On the civilian or administrative side,
the aim is to create management that
shall be supranational in all possible
respects. But when it comes to the use
of force, nationalism raises its head in a
big way. When the League of Nations
was drafted in 1918, the French govern
ment made number of proposals for an
international police force, but nothing
came of them.
The Dunbarton Oaks proposals are
more specific about the use of force than
the old League Covenant. The latter
contained only vague references to it.
AS has been said, Dumbarton Oaks seeks
to obligate the members of the new
organization to make armed forces avail
able to maintain peace including ma
tional air force contingents which shall
be ready at all times for combined inter-
national enforcement action.
No proposal. however, for an interna-
tional air force, with allegiance only
to the new organization. has been put
forward. When such suggestion is ad-
vanced the first impulse of the military
advisers of the countries here is to re-
turn loud no"
The hope of world peace and progress
lies in the future strengthening of in
ternational law and it's enforcement,
and development of economic oppor-
tunity for all peoples. If these develop
ments arise, the world may yet see an
international police force.
