CHAPTER TwENTY-E1GHT

FROODY LIVED In a small, neat
bachelor apartment on street that
sloped up from Westlake (now
MacArthur) park. No alteration in
nomenclature would add splendor
10 the park itself. It had been there
for as long as Tuck could remem-
Der, surrounding q shallow turgid
lake on which ducks, q few white
swans, rowboats and little mud
hens swan. The lake was entirely
eircled by green Slated benches on
which people sat by day for the
reasons which prompt people to sit
on park benches. At night, though,
tho park was emptier. Rowboats
and canoes drifted about, frag-
menting the long reflections Of
light. An occasional stroller paused
to look refiectively at the black
mirror Of the water, putting his
pipe. On some Of the benches young
couples sat close, the mans arm
about the woman's shoulders. The
darkness gave q privacy to every
one. to the stroller's thoughts, the
lovers words.
When Tuck's knock at his friends
door brought no response. he knew
that Froody was either at the
movies or walking around the lake
Tuck had become adjusted to the
fat smell Of the water. the damp
smell OF the grass, when he saw
Froody's dumpy. unmistakable
form walking slowly ahead Of him.
He fell into step; Froody showed no
surprise. Their familiarity with
each others ways explained Tuck's
having found him.
Tuck told about Mrs. Hines dis
covery concerning the ant poison.
Froody removed from his mouth
q briar pipe as short and stubby as
himself and asked: "And Mrs.
Hime told you that Mrs. SAKE got
rid OF the poison because she
thought she--that Ia, Mrs. Hlme-
might have killed her husband with
it7"
"She did"
"Hm. Now II doesn't seem 10 me
she'd say that, II she really did kill
him. Does II to your"
mo. Unless she realized that II
would sound better coming from
her."
Froody looked doubtful at this
subtlety. "Yes. There's that" He
thought a minute. "Of course, the
fact that this Hazel is willing to
swear that she didn't put Gnt pow
der In the sugar doesn't prove a
thing. That's the last thing she'd
want 10 admit, when she has to
make her living as housekeeper."
True" said Tuck.
so at one end we have two al
ternstlves: Hazel did or didn't. And
at the other end there's two more:

WASHINGTON, .. c. - Presi-
dent Truman is showing no inclina-
ton to back down on his proposal
for labor legislation involving fact
finding committees and cooling
off" period before strikes are car
ried out. And returning congress-
men, who have been home gather
ing the sentiments of their constit-
uents, predict that the President
will either get his bill passed, or
that legislation stronger than the
President asks will gain support.
For the congressman say that
the people back home are get
ting really excited about the
labor management pickering
which has delayed production.
Not only are the people getting
impatient over waiting for post
war production to get going,
but some congressman say
there is a growing fear among
the people that labor problems
may result in a severe depres-
sion.
Workers." said one congress-
man, must not only produce but
they must keep their consuming
power, II we hope to have pros
perity." He pointed out that the
backlog of purchasing power,
which has been built up throughout
the war and which is needed to as
sure prosperity, is fast evaporat-
ing as millions of men are using up
their savings to support themselves
while striking.
When congress gets back to
work, labor will be the Number One
subject on the calendar and we can
expect an end to the pussy footing
on this touchy subject which has
been so apparent during the war.
One of the big factors which has
brought about a noticeable change
In attitude Is the charge Of "cow-
ardice" which Phillip Murray,
president of the CIO, hurled at the
President. That made the peo-
pie mad-and it Is the concensus of
opinion here that labor lost a major
battle when the public heard Mr..
Murray's statement.

Lesson for January I3: Exodus 6:
6-8: l3:I7-22.
Memory Selection: Isaiah 1872.
With the speed of drama, the
scene changes from the back side
of the desert where Moses was
found ir the last lesson to the courts
of Egypt. where Moses had been
rearea-now he comes with the
authority of Jehovah to demand of
Pharaoh that he let the Israelites
go. And God haC promised that ne
would lead his people out of bond
age INTO the land he had said he
would give unto their fathers.
After the plaques and the death
of the first-born, Pharaoh let the
people CO. They said it was to wor-
ship God in the wilderness, but 1t
was farewell forever 1t was the
birthright of the Hebrew nation,
ever afterward celebrated in the
feast of the Passover.
God did not lead them by the di-
rect route to Canaan. That would
bring them, as yet poorly armed
and undisciplined. into conflict with
the warlike Philistines. But he led
them toward the Red Sea. They bore
the bones of Joseph. in obedience
to his request, and in token of their
belief in their settlement in Canaan.
And God went before them in a
cloud ey day and a pillar of fire
by night. So may we trust in Gods
leading, if we would come into our
own promised land of spiritual con-
quest. contentment, and peace.

result of the conferences of the
Big Three ministers, there are
still many top government officials
who share with the people the feel
ing that we don't know enough
about what does go on in Russia.
If the press had been free to listen
in and report the conference talks
and decisions, it would undoubted-
ly have done wonders to encour-
age amicable relations, but as it is,
Russian secrecy is becoming a ma
jor bone of contention in reaching
satisfactory agreements
1t is the feeling here that
Secretary Byrnes, President
Truman, and few other gov
ernment heads know a lot more
about Russia than they feel
they can confide in the people
but there is considerable doubt
that even those who have com
ferred with Stain have a really
clear insight into Russian
plans, Russian goals and Rus
sia'S willingness to cooperate
with our country. There is
one cheering angle to the pic
ture, however: practically all
of our government leaders who
have talked with Premier
Stain return to this country
with increased respect for him
and trust in him. We can only
conclude that If they know
something we don't know, it is
something which creates Opti-
mism in the outlook for our fu-
ture relations with Russia.
1t is not anticipated that the
congressional holiday will do much
to end the arguments over the fu-
ture of the OPA and price con-
troll, since congressman report that
they find as much disagreement
over the subject among the people
as they have found in Washington.
The chances are, however, that the
OPA will remain in business dur
ing all of 1916 with its powers con-
siderably reduced. For even many
of those who squirm most under
the lack of freedom which price
control inflicts on business continue
to fear that lack of control might
result in ruinous imitation.

POOR BUT DID NOT KNOW 1T
Associote Editor. Porents Magazine

HAVE heard more men and
L women speak gratefully of their
parents because the latter were un-
complaining than because of any
other virtue For as we grow older
and find that life has its trials, 1t
is a source Of warm pride to look
back on what our parents went
through, often without a word of
complaint
Recently in reading of Gen
eral Eisenhower bOyhOOd
have come across the state
ment that the EiSenhOWerS
were poor but they didn't know
ii. That has been the spirit of
American parents working to
improve the family's financial
status, making determined eff
forts to give their children a
better education than they had,
but never wasting a minute
on self-pity because of hard
ships along the way.
So watch those little complaining
words and gestures, if you want
your children to cherish the men,
orS of your fortitude and cheerful
spirit, 1t isn't always easy to dis
guise your dislike of certain neces,
sary tasks, to keep from grumbling
over too much to do, but your chill
dren will always remember and
appreciate your efforts to laugh off
WEAKNESS and discoura cement.
We do not believe in keeping
school-age children in the dark
about serious financial problems or
a family tragedy. 1t is better for
them to have sense of the family
putting their collective shoulder to
the wheel in time of real crisis. It's
the little, everyday annoyances that
you'll be glad, after they are over,
