state trooper suddenly appeared.
T. J. was propelled across the fair
ways. A few moments later his golf
ticket had been taken away from
him, his entrance fee given back and
he was standing outside the exit
gate, with Jackie beside him.
"I'll take that cops gun and beat
his brains out with it," T. J. yelled.
But Jackie shook her head. Come
on. Pop" she said. We've done
enough harm already"
SOME hours later, they learned of
the days scoring. The leader had a
sixty-eight. Hallett was far off the
pace, with seventy-three.
T. J. and Jackie went back to the.
club next day, but the gate official
turned them away. They. had to
depend on outside sources and the
newspapers to get the results of the
days play. Hallett came in with a
two under par seventy.
Still. in the running" T. ]. said.
The bird with the sixty-eight blew
up with seventy-fve today. Hal
lett's got chance"
IF we could only see him.
Jackie walled.
Yeah" T. ]. scratched his head,
Il got an angle"
He'd observed a factory on the
edge of the course. He made in
quiries around town. and discovered
that one of the club officials was
vice-president of the plant. 1t was
a concern that for years had been
trying vainly to edge in as supplier
for the Butterwick Chemical Works.
L. ]. COT busy on the phone. and
the next morning the V. P. was at
the factory entrance to greet them.
He led them inside, and an hour
later. with two pairs of field glasses
glued to their eyes, they were fol-
lowing the game. When the round
was over. Hallett was tied for fourth
place
1t began to appear that a two
hundred and eighty total score might
be good enough to win. T. J. did
some hasty addition on the back of
an envelope. He shot seventy
today. He'll need sixty-seven to-
morrow for two-eighty total" .
The next day, back in their fac
tory lookout. they watched Chet
looking drawn and pale, step up
to his ball.
The first hole was four hundred
and forty par four. When Hallett
stepped into his drive. T. J. could
see him pressing. The ball went out
beautifully, then hooked off the
fairway. apparently in a ditch.
Jackie could stand it no longer.
Come on" she cried She took her
fathers hand. dashed out of the
factory and began running across

and get him interested in me. He
congratulated me last night on my

into tears again.
"I'll kill him." T. J. stormed. "I'l

I'll -"
Jackie shook her head. II don't
blame him." she said. ut was a
game at first. But I'm so in love with
him now - and I'll never see him
again. just want to crawl in a hole
and die"
At the Office, that afternoon came
to be known as Black Tuesday. But
as it turned out, Chet Hallett hadn't
left town. He'd moved from his
rooming house into the country club,
and daily he was out on the course.
7. ]. heard indirectly of his plans.
HALLETr was grimly training for an
important tournament. "I'm going
to win" he declared, land turn pro.
I'm through with business, and I'm
through with women. Golf is the
only thing in life a man can count
on. There's no trickery or treachery
in golf. A mans on his own, and the
way he plays the game is all that
matters. There aren't any angles"
T. J. went to the club and watched
Hallett practice. Jackie went with
him. Hallett smiled when he saw her
- smile like slap in the face.
Jackie said tearfully. Can he win
the tournament, Pop?"
The big bum." T. ]. said. II
hope he gets his ears pinned back"
The tournament was for four days
and seventy-two holes of medal play.
The gallery that first day followed
the big names. Chet Hallett, playing
in threesome with two unknown
pros, had fifty-some spectators. On
the fringe of the group were T. ].
Butterwick and Jackie.
He's pushing his tee shots" T. ].
said glumly. He can't do that in
this company. But what a fighter!
Look at him scramble"
Chet had hooked a two hundred
and fifty-yard drive into deep rough.
He waded in grimly, took an iron
and blasted long, low shot to the
apron. He took par four. The next
hole was short and he caught trap.
His explosion shot came down for an
easy putt and a par three. But it
was birdie hole for the topnotchers.
ON THE seventh. Hallett had
thirty-foot putt across an undulating
green. He went over the line, pains
takingly removing every bit of leaf
and cut grass. Then. stepping up to
his ball. he tapped it straight into
the cup.
Jackie clapped her hands. Chet
came walking toward them en- route
to the next tee.
Wonderful. Chet," Jackie cried
with glee. That was marvellous"
Hallett gave her a hard grin.
Roofing for me, are you? suppose
that would be an added feather in
your cap. to have your friends know
you made chump of a champion"
oh" Jackie said in a small hurt
voice.

the course. They came to the little
flag marking Chefs ball.
Jackie cried out when she saw it.
The ditch was narrow, with perhaps
six inches of water in it. But Chet
was not in the ditch - the ball rest
ed on the far bank. Chet broke
through the crowd, ducked under
the rope holding back the spectators,
and studied the ball. A wry grin was
on his face as he shook his head. He
tried to stand on the opposite bank,
but was unable to find purchase.
WHILE the crowd stood hushed,
watching him, Jackie began to cry.
Chet turned and saw her. T. J.,
red-faced, stood beside her. The spec
tators looked curiously at them. A
marshal said, Quiet. please"
I'm sorry" Jackie whispered.
Chet seemed to have forgotten the
match as he stared at her. "Why are
you crying?" he said.
T. ]. was unable to contain him.
self. Because she's in love with you
and eating her heart out, you mutt"
he reared.
Chet continued looking at Jackie.
Then a slow grin spread across his
face, and his tension was gone.
There's nothing to cry about,
baby" he said. Don't you know
that the test of good golfer is how
he recovers?''
f1E SAT down on the grass and re-
moved his shoes and socks. He
stepped down into the brook in his
bare feet, with his pants rolled up.
He reached for an iron, sighted on
the green. and blasted into the shot.
The crowd roared. The ball hit on
the apron and rolled to within ten
feet of the cup.
There was a fair-sized gallery fol-
lowing the match at that point. But
when word got around that Chet
Hallett had hit the turn in thirty
three, the other matches were de-
serted.
They came ultimately to the eight
eenth green. Jackie and her father
fought the crowd to get a place on
the apron. They watched Chet saun-
ter up to a tricky six-foot putt as
though he were playing a casual,
friendly round. The crowd held its
breath. Then the putter blade stroked
the ball. Jackie closed her eyes;
after another moment of agonizing
stiffness, the roar of the throng told
her that he'd dropped it for a sixty
seven total.
Jackie held T. Us hand while
they watched the presentation. Then
she said, That's all, let's run. He
has everything he wants now, and
I'm happy for him."
HEY ran for the parking lot and

them and Chet caught them as they
crossed the driveway.

cup at T. j.. who held it while Chet
kissed his daughter.

many another important job is being &C
complished in obscurity.
An example of this is found in the
Pacific islands. The Marshall group, which
is typical, belonged to Germany until
1914. Then Japan, as one OF our Allies IN
World War l, seized the islands, and her
authority was legalized by a League Of
Nations mandate in 1922. Japan held the
islands, using many Of them as naval and
air bases, until we freed them near the
close Of World War II.
Thus, purely as consequence of war,
the problems of thousands of natives liv-
ing on scores of islands became our prob
lens And it is pleasant to report that the
United States Navy, which is the admin
'istrative agency, is taking these problems
very seriously.
The Navy is training officers in the
arts of military government. 1t is making
aggressive efforts to reestablish a system
r of adequate education. 1t is paying par
ticular attention to health and sanitation.
1t is attempting to reVitalize what little
industry and commerce the islands are
capable of maintaining. Its purpose, in
sum, is to assist the inhabitants to stand
on their own feet.
This is no simple task An immense
amount Of work is being done by the
Navy Thus the hand Of America reaches
out to tiny islands whose very names are
unknown to all but a few persons.

Helping AsI,e Polio Victims

AS the Annual Infantile Paralysis Fund
Fighting Drive approaches it is time for
all Of the citizens of this county to give it
serious thought. This county has a quota
of $3.50 which is small in comparison to
the aid we have received from the Founda-
ton.
Figures show that in North Carolina,
since January l. 1889, total of 1892 871.O0
has been sent back to the State from the
Foundation as compared to $656,369.5O
which we have sent in.
But getting closer home, reports re-
veal that during the past two years the
Foundation has spent on Ashe county vic
TINS more than 100000 over and above
what was raised in the county. In dollars
and cents the county has received more
than twice the return Of what it has put
into the fund But the figures do not tell
the story The real investment is that more
children are much more able to walk than
they would have been otherwise.
But the battle is far from won. We
agree with President Truman who said
that chapters lin fulfilling their pledge
that no victim Of infantile paralysis shall
go without treatment because of lack of
funds should inspire =. the people to make
the 1947 drive the most successful"
What will you personally do to make
the drive in this county success, to help
those crippled by this disease to walk
again?

1916 Fire Losses

The year which has ended was the
worst in our history in the matter Of loss
of life and property by fire. When the
final figures are tabulatcd the total waste
will probably touch 100000, OOO-and the
destruction of life will approach 1900.
There can be no alibis for this 1t is
too late for excuses. What we can do is
to affirm that 1947 will tell a different
story when the year closes.
Our first realization, as individuals,
must be that almost all fires are the result
of the human element. A man is careless,
a man is ignorant and destructive fire
strikes. The fire which could not be pre-
vented is extremely rare
We must understand, secondly, that the
prevention Of most fires is the simplest Of
tasks. new lamp cord, clean attic a
minor repair to a heating plant, fire ex-
tinguisher or fire escape-such attentions
as these would have prevented very large
part of last years terrible loss of life and
materials. This comes straight home to
the individual, and no one can escape his
share of the responsibility
Third, there is obvious need for edu-
cation of the individual in what to do if
he is in building attacked by fire In
Atlanta, men and women jumped to de-
struction from window ledges-in the face
of pleas by firemen who were preparing
nets and ladders. In both Chicago and
Atlanta, people threw open doors and win
doWs thus creating drafts that simply
famed the flames.
All of us should feel shame at 1865
terrible fire record. And all of us should
resolve that it will be improved in 1947

Plan Suggested
To Divide Sugar

The government has complete
1y controlled every phase of the
sugar business since Pearl Har-
Dor through production, process
ing, distribution and ratlOning
and apparently this IS still true.
Because of heavy shipments Of
sugar to foreign nations, Amer
leans this year will receive only
70 pounds Of refined sugar per
person as compared with their
preWar consumption Of SO pounds.
Plans are underway to con-
tinue the American people on a
sugar shortage for years to come.
Howard R. Tolley, formerly OF
the u. S. Department Of Agrlcul-
ture. now director Of the division
of economics and statistics Of the
food and agricultural organiza-
ton of the UN, has just proposed
a program for sharing our sugar
supply with other natlonS Ior
years to come.
The Tolley program proposes
that by the year 1850 the total
American supply of sugar (and
syrups) should be depressed by
IL 6/1O per cent under the total
consumption Of prewar. And this
despite the fact that our popu-
lation in 1850 is expected to be
13,5OO,OOO more than IN 1910.
Sugar is indispensable for a
well balanced American diet.
Without it you would not have
most of the canned foods and pre-
serves, a large amount of canned
milk, ice cream, candy, soft
drinks, cakes and pies and many
other foods.
