oHE had at least half hour of waiting as
Willie believed in dining late. She stared in
the full length mirror on the back of the bed
room door. Why, she thought, if she'd STAYED
IN Southwark she'd still be talking about her
appendicitis operation. Here she whirled at
such speed that, except for her parents, she'd
tound no time to write to anybody She knew
she could sit down and write to Jerry Haskell
this minute, while she waited for Willie Brent
She felt suddenly guilty, not having let Jerry
hear word from her. Then she looked at
her newly mancured nails no, she might
spatter ink on them.
Poor Jerry. He did seem such long way
off -. like Southwark. Five hours by train:
as far as the NOON
She walked into the living room, carving
the wolf jacket. Carefully she draped it over
a chair, stroking the soft fur, pretending
she owned it. Then she sat down on the divan
and tried to think of how she'd greet Willie
Brent. Instead, her thoughts kept creeping
back to Jerry.
Jerome B. Haskell that's how he'd
printed it on the blackboard, in third grade.
In their teens, Jerry had begun walking
her home, after Friday dancing class, to the
comfortable red brick, porch bordered house
her parents had built.
Jerry had at first gone reluctantly to dane
ing school, but later he'd come to like it,
because he and she danced so we'll together.
They never talked while they danced. As if
they were one person, they gave themselves
to the rhythm.
The June they both graduated from South
walk High, Jerry joined the Army. Mary
entered business school, preparing to be a
secretary in her fathers law office.
Nobody in Southwark thought it odd when
Jerry. Army discharged, went to work in a
garage. He loved machinery Soon his father,
Doctor Haskell, bought him half interest,
and Jerry labored overtime on his own, wash
ing, greasing, repairing cars He wore blue
jeans His face was ruddy, his forehead grease
streaked from pushing back the wispy blond
hair that kept falling across his forehead

what then? What would she have known of

Because they we're simple people and she
their only child, they agreed to back her
financially for six months. Mary Stevens
should have her chance in New York "I'm
going to try for models job" she declared.
Jerry drove her to the station. His blue
eyes looked serious. He held her hand.
Now, jerry" she protested.
He held her hand anyway
''Ill miss you," she admitted, adding
hastily. honestly But I'm not coming back

'I'll wait" said Jerry.

Mary. That's all, just line. BY what you

The train rumbled in He grabbed her Close
kissed her roughly, whispering "I1l stick
around until hear" -.
She'd never written. She hadn't found an
extra second to think of Jerry - until this
wait for Willie Brent
The buzzer rang, and in minute there he
was, a real millionaire, who looked like
Robert Taylor. A rather tired Robert Taylor,
she observed, but you couldn't have every
thing
AND Willie Brent took her to the Stork
Club, which proved to be, in itself, all she had
expected
Mary was too excited to relish the food.
For directly across, against the opposite wall,
she faced Ann Sheridan drinking glass of
milk. That was only the overture Right next
to Mary, so close she could have nudged him,
sat Walter Winchell eating lamb chop.
First she wondered if he intended using an
item about her being chosen Miss Fine
Wine. Then she wondered how the folks in
Southwark would feel when they saw her
name in Winchell's column!
They won't know she reflected Mary

Instead of pinching herself, she touched one
of the ashtrays against which was placed

In large, straight up and down writing her

the card. No space left for a name. She didn't

And there were plenty of girls who'd be glad
for the chance to 60 steady with him. There
was Matilda Higgins. She used to have

and you could even wear slacks if you liked.
In THE mirrored ladies' room came the
climax of the evening. A woman who looked
like Joan Crawford spoke to her. The woman
had dropped her handkerchief. Bending to
pick it up, she accidentally brushed against
Mary's skirt and graciously said, "Oh excuse
me, please"
No sooner had the woman left than it
dawned upon Mary that this wasn't some
body who looked like Joan Crawford. She
was Joan Crawford!
Mary sank down on one of the chairs that
faced the long horizontal mirrored wall She
opened her bag to get at her compact Out
fell the postcard: YOU WRITE 1T. WE MAIL 1T.
Why not? If she was ever going to tell
Jerry, it ought to be now And what better
way? Certainly there was no hope for him

''Yes, Madame" He bowed low.
Then Mary rejoined Willie Brent.
'You look positively radiant, " he remarked.
What are you thinking about?"

hicks, she didn't tell him she was thinking of

1t took several months for that light to

could now look at The Stork Club effectively.
But she did appreciate the food. BY the
time Willie Brent called for her, around
seven-thirty, she always felt ravenous. Model

VICTORY CLOTHING COLLECTION

Unless clothing is contributed to
them somehow, millions of people in
war-devastated countries all over the
world will be exposed to cold, suffer-
ing and death.
A generous America helped to
clothe 25 million people in Europe,
China and the Philippines by contri-
buttons to the April United National
Clothing Collection. But millions
more need our help just as desper-
ately.
President Truman, keenly aware
of tkis great need, has called upon
Mr.. Henry j. Kaiser to direct anoth-
er nationwide clothing collection for
overseas relief. Every community in
the United States will have Victory
Clothing Collection from January Z
to January 81. The goal is 100000
900 garments in addition to shoes
and bedding.

HORSEPOWER AND MANPOWER

What has brought about the as
founding gains in farm productivity
in the last thirty years? How did far
mers manage to forge ahead in wal
time, turning out a third more pro-
duction with at least fifteen percent
less effective labor than in prewar
years?"
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
comments on these questions of his
own as follows:
THE answers encompass thou
sands of items of research, invention
and development of new farm skills.
Under broad headings they include
suck things as increased mechanical
ton, greater use of fertilizer and
lime, good start in conservation
type farming, improved control of
pests and disease, better feeding OF
livestock. Outstanding is power
1t is estimated that in 1910 our
farms had in one form or another
more than 174,0O0,O00 mechanical
horsepower, including liz million
tractors. Today farmers have about
2 million tractors gain of more
than 40 per cent during the war;"
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1946-01-11

More than 1000 persons, mostly
women and children, were burned
to death and more than 100000
families were made homeless in 1914
because people ignored simple pre-
cautions against fire.
Even elementary precauti IL S
against the danger of fire which may
cost your life or the life of your
loved ones would have averted the
preponderance of these fires.
Fluffy clothing while cooking is
one of the major causes of fires in the
home, according to an article on fire
prevention, which advises women to
wear short-sleeved dresses while
cooking.
BE careful where you put your
cigarette. Nearly 800 fires are caused
each week by persons forgetting to
disconnect their electric irons Be es-
pecially careful about dry-cleaning
fluids which are highly infiammable.
Be careful to keep your portable
heater away from curtains and wood
work or where people might stumble
over it.
Once a fire starts in your home, if
you can't extinguish it within few
seconds after you discover it, don't
continue to fight it. Get everyone out
of the house and call the fire depart
ment.

TOMORROW's SERVICE STATION

Often the public does not demand
improvement until improvement has
been thrust upon it. Witness the SER
vice stations where we fill our cars
with gas. Most people are reasonably
satisfied with present facilities, yet
enterprising oil companies are COM
ing out with new ideas in the form
of model stations, that are eye open
erS.
Reporters visiting one of these mo-
del stations, inspected new mobile lu-
bricating equipment capable of eff
fecting a saving in time of one-third
and so clean that mechanic attired
in dinner clothes can do complete
fabrication job. They saw new gas
oline pump with built-in hose reel
which does away with irritating
"jockeying for position" They also
saw host of new merchandise to be
carried by the service stations of to-
morrow.
What inspired these new ideas
when the public was reasonably sat
isfied with what it had? The answer
can be boiled down to one word:
competition = something that is
worth preserving in these United
States and something that does not
exist in countries where government
do all the planning" for the people.

our way of thinking. The teaching
of all religion is We've got to help
our neigkbors'."
In reply to a question as to whe-
Their Japan would be permitted to
build a merchant fleet for the pur-
pose of engaging in trade, the State
Department said:
Restrictions will be placed on the
size of any future Japanese merchant
fleet to assure that such fleet will
not be used to threaten the peace of
the world"
On this matter Bloom was more
emphatic.
II would say on. There must be but
one power in Asia and that power
must be China. Japan must not be
allowed to compete with China, be-
cause Japan would not play fair"

JAPAN TO GET LIVING NEEDS
WITH STRICT WAR CURB

Every effort will be made by the
United States to give conquered ia
pan food, clothing and shelter, but
rigid control will be exercised to
make certain she will not be able to
make war on us again.
Essentially that is the position
which has been taken by our govern
ment, according to the State Depart
ment and Representative Sol Bloom,
chairman of the House Committee on
Foerign Affairs.
Representative Bloom summed up
our attitude toward Japan in state
ment in the December issue of Co.'S
mopolitan magazine wherein he said:
"A tiger is a tiger-even though
hand-raised and bottle-fed from cub
days. In the long run, tigers will at
tack their masters. know the Japs.
They cannot be trusted and our pol
icy for the future of Japan must be
to keep the Japs at arms length.
Give them enough leash-and the til
ger will attack again"
Regarding aid to Japan, Bloom
said:
Whether Japan can provide fuel,
food, clothing and housing for her
people, do not know. If she can do
so, she must. Black markets must be
eliminated first, and after such elm
nation, if we find Japan has not
enough food to go around we must
do something. If they need help and
we don't help them, we'll have q
sorry time bringing them around to
