EIGHTEEN

Sherry let Lex talk on, not IN
terrupting, hoping it would help.
She learned that he had met Kay
only a few months before he went
into service and that the attrac'
ton between them had been
strong and swift. Normally, Lex
would have gone on working LOT
Kay's father and he and nay
would have got engaged and then
married. They would have renteo
an apartment and, later on
bought a house in a good suburb,
not too far out from the city. mat
was still the pattern Kay wanted
their married life to follow.
But Lex had changed. or. rather
he had found himself. The wal
had iolted him out of the rut IN
which he had been fairly content
Cd so long as he knew no other
way of life. During his training,
hi. service in E n 8 land ano
France. he had gained a different
perspective, one LldI eiioot 49,
70 see the narrowness of his 1or-
me existence. The mere making
~ money at. a job that bored him
m longer seemed a sufficient IN,
centive. His sense of values mao
altered. And, when he came nome;
he found himself feeling, crowoea
n hemmed in by the city pro-
foundly disturbed by the tnronss
Of people all about, the rushlns'
Lex told Sherry, 'But when I
tried to make Kay understand now
I telt-she thought I was actually
a little Oft the beam. She wanted
me to see a psychiatrist."
.But that's absurd Sherry
said. "lots Of people hate the city.
Getting away from it had simply
opened your eyes. And why wouio
you want to pick up where you
lett off when you realized no"
much happier you'd be living on
4 farm"

stirred the imagination and
wearied the body with healthful
outdoor exercise. No farmer need
envy a man at an office desk,
doing the same job over and over,
nor a factory worker, engaged on
his monotonous stint in the noisy
atmosphere of whirring machinery
and crowding fellow humans.
Sherry could see how Lexis
mind met Steve's, how similar
were their viewpoints, how close
their understanding. And she saw
how Lex was learning, not only
from Steve, but from the work he
did each day. And she saw, too,
how much he loved that work, how
richly content he would have been,
were it not for the nagging, tor
menting thought of Kay.
The enchanted days sped past.
Sherry helped exercise the horses,
she skated with Lex and Steve on
the frozen pond. A party of neigh
boring young people invited her
and Lex to go on a moonlight
toboggan party. Racing down the
snowy hillside, the chill fresh wind
whipping the breath back into
your throat, was ike flying. And
trudging up again afterwards, two
by two, laughing and singing and
pulling the big sled, was fun, too.
Sherry wished time could stop for
a while.
But Leda would be home Sun
day evening, she would expect
Sherry to be there to welcome her.
Also there were engagements
awaiting Sherry for the week
ahead, luncheons, a theater party,
a charity ball which she had
promised to attend with Joel Penn
berton. The crowded, familiar rou-
tine Of her life waited ahead to
absorb her once more in hectic
BUSINESS, boring and unimportant.
In it there was none of the reality,
the fundamental meaning, she
found in her days at the farm.
It was like an endless ride on a
gaily painted carousel, all move
ment and color, but getting no.

it was almost time for the music
to start up again.

Sounds like fun." Lex glanced

'101 Steel Producers
Accused byFTC Of
.Curbing Production

The American Iron and Steel
Institute and 101 steel producers
have been accused of forestalling
increases in production facili-
ties and discriminating against
Western buyers in a Federal
Trade Commission amended
price-fiXing complaint.
The new complaint, broadening
one issued last August was an
nounced by the FTC last night.
Only 26 corporations were named
along with the Institute in the origi-
nal complaint. 1t was directed
against producers of iron as well as
steel, while the new complaint is
restricted to steel.
1t was estimated the companies
named in the original complaint
account for about 80 per cent of
the Nations total steel ingot pro-
ducing capacity. Those named in
the new complaint, according to an
FTC official, would account for
"98 per cent, plus" of ingot produc-
ing capacity.
BaSing Points Attacked.
In both the original and the
amended actions one of the chief
commission complaints is against
the industry's use of bacing points
in its selling methods. This prac-
tice is to base freight charges on
certain cities, even though the steel
may not be produced in the city
from which freight is charged.
In this connection the new COM
plant states the producers have
acted to prevent deviations from
their announced prices by taking
collective action to curtail price
quotations on an fob. mill basis
when unrelated to C. calculated -
accordance with their nes. 20 POINT
practices ="
AS a result, the commission con-
tends, buyers are deprived of equal
opportunities to obtain steel in times
of scarcity when producers refuse
to quote and sell fob. mill.
When a customer buys fob. mill
he pays the cost of the article, plus
the actual freight charges from
where the article IS made.
Discrimination Outlined.
The announcement described as
follows the commissions contention
that the West Coast is discriminate
against:
ITO customers in Arizona, Calf
ornia, Colorado, Idaho, Montana
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah
Washington and Wyoming each re-
spondent producer quotes prices ar
rived at through application OF
basing point practices and in so
doing quotes as though shipments
were being made from miles east
of the Rock Mountains, although
deliveries actually are made from
mills west of the Rockies and in
some instances near the location
of the customers business.
Regarding the facilities section
of the new complaint, the commits
sion accuses the company of having
agreed at institute meetings that
1t would be to their self Interest
to so act as to forestall increases
in steel production facilities"

DETROIT, Nov. 17.--Ralph Hoard,
%, asphalt company employe, was
rescued yesterday from tons of
quicksand- like wet gravel in which
he was buried up to his neck for
more than two hours.
He was using a long rod to direct
flow of the gravel from storage
bin when he lost his balance and fell
into the mixture The more he
struggled to free himself, the deeper
he sank until he was covered up
to his chin.
Another worker, Theo Marcucci,
shut off the gravel flow, warned him
not to move muscle and sent out
an alarm.
Mr.. Hoard was pulled to safety
after firemen had cut a hole in the
side of the hopper with acetylene
torches so the gravel could run out.
