CHAPTER vi

Young Ann Clayton races down
to breakfast one morning, eager
to get started on the first day of
her job on the Courier. Grand
mother Sarah, lovable but severe,
does not approve. The Claytons,
long a distinguished southern
family, have lost most of their
holdings. Ann insists on bucking
tradition and going to work. Al
the Courier office she meets
Tracy Driscoll, the editor, and
says she is going to work for him.
He is very rude to her. Ann
points out that there is a contract
stating that Clayton could work
On the paper if he chose. Dris-
coll tries in many ways to dis
courage Ann, but she PERSISTS in
staying on the paper. He asks
S1er to get the story of the Bar

EIyn Frazier, a dear friend OF
hers, is involved. At Lyn's urg-
INT request, Ann agrees to let

Ann and Lyn came in, they were

congratulations and good wishes,
and it was very gay indeed.
1t was close to midnight when
she and Lyn were beginning a
rhumba that she looked up and
saw Tracy Driscoll and LISA
Marven in the doorway.
The two stood for a moment,
framed in the doorway. And
Ann thought wryly that LISA
was the kind of person who prac-
tised entrances at home.

''But - don't let it be Frazier,
Ann please don't. He's-well,
he's complete heel"
I'D appreciate it a whole heck
of a lot if you'd shut up!" blazed
Ann elegantly, and was hot with
embarrassment and humiliation.
She turned and ran blindly
away from him.
Lyn seemed to understand
AIMS need for silence so she re-
gained her composure while he
drove the short distance home in
silence. But when he stopped
The car beneath the old-fashioned
porte-cochere, he said with fl
nality that left no room for argu-
ment, "I'm coming in. Ann"
''It's - pretty late,'' she stam-
mered, because she didn't want
to talk to him any more. There
were things in her heart that she
had to think about, even though
she did not want to.
Don't be coy" ordered Lyn
stottly. cts only little past
midnight"
He slipped a hand beneath her
elbow and walked her up the
steps and into the house. The
living-room was empty of human
presence, but it still held signs
of Sarah's and DR.. Moseby's ac-
tivities. The chess table was still
in place, a half-completed prob
lem set out on it. There was a
silver tray of sandwiches and a
thermos of deliciously hot coffee
awaiting on a side table for Lyn
and Ann.
Because their waiting tray and
thermos jug was a part of their
accustomed routine, Lyn went
straight to it, poured two cups Of
coffee, put couple of sandwiches
on plates and came back to where
Ann sat in a corner of the ole
brocade-covered Chesterfield.
He gave her a plate, and cup
he sat down beside her, sampled
the coffee and then said grimly

an excellent designer. Tracy, in
dark tuxedo, was big and rangy
and disturbingly vital looking.

graciously, and went on standing
in the doorway, his, eyes sweep

with what grace he could muster,
and as Tracy took Ann into his

smooth, flowing rhythm, ne
looked down at her and said
grimly, $50 this is the way ne

Ann caught her breath and stiff
ened in his arms, her eyes blazing
as she looked up at him.

urged Tracy softly. 'Or people
will talk about you-and while
you can afford that, I doubt il

Ann stepped from his arms ano

freezingly, but Tracy's little shor'

and said coolly, $50 you came t.

Britain is much concerned about presence of
Russian troops in northern Iran-as she has
right to be- according to her concept of the legti
macy of economic imperialism and her interests in
oil in the region.
1t was natural therefore, that her representa-
tives in the u N. O. showed more than mild in
terest when Trans Premier Ibrahim Hakmi pre-
sented to that organization his grievance against
Russia British statesmen may even have NEE
died. the premier into making his complaint They
have been known to do such cunning things.
And what was the answer of that great, lum-
bering Russian Bear? He merely growled in irri-
tation and suggested that the British withdraw

ing that perhaps they had no business there,

intelligence of the pure research scientist.
Not only, then, is it an inviting avenue for
further exercise of high intelligence it is the
clear obligation of the intelligent to help give
mankind direction; to help it avoid the dire pers
and harness the beneficial energies which science
has given to the world as its first problem of
today.
With some such thought in mind, DR.. Ernst
Chain one of the three British discoveries of
penicilllin, all of whom were awarded the Nobel
prize for their discovery speaking to the learned
group at the Festival, said:
1--WE have not yet learnt to master the de-
structive forces in ourselves. Shall we be capa-
BILE of doing so after the experiences of the past
six years? If we fail to build up world in
which nations can live peaceaby together, we
shall destroy the civilization of thousands of
years. It. is the duty and responsibility of
men of science to enlighten mankind hereOn.
We cannot leave it to the politicians any
longer"
1t is wholesome, hopeful thing to know that
science is at last awakening to it's dual function:
to give mankind its tools for advance, then demon
strate their use, direct the political processes of
their Indignation into the complex organism of
human society.
If men of intelligence and vision and artistic
appreciation do not measure up to their obligation,
the future were dark indeed.

his forgetfulness, indifference or carelessness

Newspaper and periodical advertising is one of
the most potent forces at work shaping the eco

the observant and discerning, an advertisement
overtells its story.

newspapers carried large ad for one of the
leading makers of appliances and household neces-

washing machines, manges, coasters, grills, cas-
seroles, ovens and whatnot in the gadget line.
1t is true that one of the panels pictured long
row of washing machines on assembly line.
But other panels showed what obviously
finished products of varied nature, packaged and
heaped tier upon tier in storage.
The purpose of the advertisement was, of
course, equally obvious: to turn the mind Of the
American housewife (and, of course, sympathetic
ally, her MANI against the the strikers. She had

Scientists: Their Duty

There is new measure of hope for a better
world in the fact that concern for the political
and economic future of mankind is being shown,
at long last, by those who, strangely, have held
aloof from the stumbling procession.
We refer to those whose primary, and hereto
fore seemingly sole, interests have been in the
sciences and arts
The scientist, the artist are after all, part of
humanity they are carried by the human stream
from which they are inseparable. They cannot
swim ashore to some enchanted isle, whence to
witness the struggles of humankind in the raging
sea dashed by the tempests of its own making.
We in the United States have had recent evil
dence of the hopeful trend of scientific and arts
tic interest in the formation of group leaders in
such activities of the mind, with the avowed
purpose of making their long overdue and nvalu-
able contribution to the practical matters of So
cial, political and economic advance.
1t is in Stockholm, however, that the world
wide nature of the movement is most force
fully emphasized. In that focal point of intel
lectual endeavors-made so by the foresight of
scientist Nobel in the creation of prizes for
achievement in things of the mind there were
recently held ceremonies attending the Nobel
Prize Observation-Disclosures of war conditions the
first since 1888
One of the Swedish hosts, Prof. Hugo Theorell,
in thoughtful speech said among other things:
"Never before has a Nobel Festival been
celebrated at time when it has been so self
evident that have to choose between two
paths for the future of mankind. The one
leads to the destruction of civilization, while
the other opens up wonderful perspective
There the Four Rights of Man which President
Roosevelt defined would accrue to u.s. Physics
and chemistry form the foundations of that
material progress which is to give us freedom
from want. Physiology and medicine give us
weapons to WELD in the struggle for freedom
from fear, and finally literature has the highest
function of ALTO overcome that degradation
of the mind which Obstructs the path to the
freedom of thought and of religious belief
Professor TheorePs thoughts were, of course
inspired by the development of the atomic bomb
But regarded in broader sense, they are funda-
mental. They would have been as applicable had
they been uttered before Hiroshima, for that
