COLUMBUS MEN TO
HOLD MASS MEET
Speaker Thomas pearsaD
Flake Shaw To Address
Group

WH1TEVILLE, Oct. q -
Thomas R. Pearsall, speaker of
the North Carolina house of rep
resentatives, and r. Flake Shaw,
secretary of the North Carolina
Farm Bureau, will address a mass
meeting of Columbus county
farmers Thursday afternoon,
Oct. 80, at the courthouse here.
The Farm Bureau is sponsoring
the meeting to inform farmers
and business men on such vital
questions as tobacco acreage re-
duction for next year, possible
means of making up the big loss
of income from possible decrease
in volume of leaf and several
other matters.
The recent action of the British
government in disseminating the
purchase of tobacco on f1ue-cured
markets increases the significance
of the mass meeting Thursday.
Pearsall is one of the states
biggest farmers and is an out
standing political leader. He
will be heard shortly after the
mass meeting is convened.
Representatives of the Tobacco
Sterilization corporation and To-
bacco associates, inc. have been
invited to report briefly on the
activities of these organizations.

He smiled ruefully. "Teresa,
you don't tell a child's father
you're grateful for what he's
done for her. You take it for
granted that he does every
thing. Besides, Alison and Miss
Winstead deserve large por-

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Alsion thought of the human
1adeer in assets and liabilities
and it seemed to her that Tere-
90 had all the assets and that
she had only one: she might
he an adventure in newness to
Sam. But that wasn't very
strong or very sound. The one
hing YOU never knew was what
two people who had been mar
RED had been to each other and
what intimacy tn ey h a d
shared and what memories they
had stored of one another-even
IN a marriage that had failed.
Memories were potent and pow
orf,ll. You could no more ig-
more them than you could ig-
more the child their mating had
nroduced. Are memories lie S
han intangible children?
She tried not to think of Miss
Ninstead. True, her days were
certainly numbered in Teresa's
house, but to send her packing
with no notice and refuse even
goodby to Suzy and Sam
made Alison vince with shame.
Teresa did not deliberate. She
acted. If she were ever sorry,
she didn't let anyone know.
Hadn't she ever made a mis-
take? Hadn't she ever said, "I
vas wrong?"
She was up and brushing her
neglected hair when Teresa
came back and came up the
steps and went into what had
been Miss Winstead's room. She
had gone downstairs to stir the
fire when Teresa came down.
Teresa had changed into

Alison's gray jumper and yel-

her nerves.
Hes been going to his office
every morning, but he always
comes home to lunch. What did
you do to Winnie?"
"That's closed, Alison. Don't
make an issue of it. I couldn't
keep her any longer. She's
hopeless"
"And helpless.''

:" She glanced around at
the large, faded room. "It' S
ironical. I wonder if everything
that happens to you has
a meaning you have to discov-
err"
Alison's shadow on the wall
was very slim and very young,
her silky hair obscuring the
clear contours of her face.
"Suzy can't be moved for a
week"
Teresa stared at her. "a
week? A week, did you say?
You mean I've got to stay here
and see him every day for
a week? You like it don't you?

1t will not be any of those
things, Teresa. 1t will be Sam
who will walk toward you in
that gangling way of his. 1t will
be Sam who is the most vital
man you'll ever know and the
most challenging. You've been
exposed to attractive men but
not to anyone as attra ractive as
Sam. He makes you know you

simultaneously they heard
the call from upstairs, "Alison!
Daddy!"
Teresa got up quickly an d
threw her cigaret into the fire.
"You needn't come up" she
said to Alison. "1'll look after
her now"
Sam stood still while she
passed before him. Then he fol-
lowed her out of the room.
Alison stood before the fire
with her hands clasped behind
her, seeing Teresa on one side
of Sazy's bed and Sam on the
other. The estranged three to-
gether again. Sheer, utter help
lessness assailed her. And you
could call the other feelings
envy or jealousy or any other
of the same poisonous names,
but it didn't change the portra ait
of the reunited family upstairs.
And your heart could cry be-
cause your love had no place
to go and no place to rest, but
it didn't change anything. Life

this morning was Teresa's COM
ing back to Sam Emotional
lv she was on her knees to him.
Her desire had defeated her
will.
Though she lived in the house
with them Alison felt that she
lived on the outside and saw
what was happening by looking
in through the windows. The
fire could not warm her and
Viola's good food was tasteless
in her mouth and at night she
shivered under heavy blankets.
One morning she awoke and
lay quietly and listened. She
was late again in waking, too
late to have breakfast with Te-
resa and Sam Teresa always
awoke early, clear-headed and
fresh, her energy brand-new.
Invariably it took Alison little
while to come out of sleep and,
since she had lost so much
when Suzy's illness had been at
its height, it seemed that now
she could not get enough.
Hence she always missed
breakfast with Teresa and Sam.
