laughter Gloria, a book under her arm went
toward the park; Harvey to the reading room
of the library
Only man who loved his wife would be
party to such a business, Harvey thought
Because of course he loved Gloria If anything
he loved her more than he did when they were
first married. Maybe not in the same way Not
like love-sick boy. Solidly, like a good
husband
As he sat down in the reading room to wait,
Harvey caught his reflection in the glass door
opposite him. A successful man. A solid citizen.
Maybe his hair was receding little, and may
be he had gained little weight, especially
around the middle. but that added authority
to man. Harvey felt mellow and complacent
man in his position could afford to be tolerant
about the little, amusing whims of his wife.
HERE came Gloria now Her cheeks we're
glowing and there was spring to her step. She
held her head high and tried to keep her smile
under control She stood in front of him. touch
ing her hat, her hair, her necklace, with
trembling, happy fingers.

ing the disapproving looks of the readers. "Of
oorse!'
They went outside. First man asked me
how to get to Sixth Avenue" she explained
excitedly, as they went down the library steps.
But he really wanted to know how to get to
Sixth Avenue. Then a man sat down beside me
and asked me what time it was. The girl friend
ne was waiting for showed up right away
But them" Gloria turned her happy face
to Harvey. This tall, handsome man walked
by and turned and walked by again, and pre-
tended to be absorbed in my reading, and then
ne sat down beside me, and asked me if we
hadn't met somewhere before - are all men
so unimaginative? 1t was almost. exactly what
you said! And then he said he was alone in
town and asked me if l would have dinner"
What did you say?" Harvey asked.
Il told him OF course not! told him that
didn't speak to strange men and that he ought
to be ashamed of himself told him ought to
call Policeman
WELL" Harvey said. ''I'm certainly glad he
knew how grateful you were to him for his
attention You probably ruined his whole life
''You old stuffed Shirt" Gloria said, twisting

maybe can stand you for little while longer,
since l proved how wrong you were! Men!
What women have to put up with from themr'
Harvey laughed. He was still chuckling to
himself when they got out of the taxi at their
apartment and went upstairs. He was laughing
because he was thinking how angry Gloria
would be if he ever told her the truth If he
ever told her how carefully he had coached
young Frank Everett in that scene, and told
him just when to be there, and just where
Gloria would be sitting in the park. He would
have to be very careful that Gloria never met
Frank Everett. the new man in the office. And
it was sort of too bad too, because Frank was
such nice guy and they might all have had
some good times together, with his wife, and

Now that the summer months

that is not crowded with harvest
ing and threshing they should
catch up on the farm practices
which they signed up for earlier
this year This is brought to the
attention of the farmers by Will

Noble county AAA office.
As we all know it is easier to
get the material for the projects
before the rush season later this
fall. All of the work must be done
by December 81 in order for pay

should understand that it is their
responsibility to secure the lime
and fertilizer from a dealer as
neither is handled through the
AAA office.
Purchase orders may be Sc
cured at the office by calling for
them. At that time the officials
must know where you are pur-
chasing the material and the price
of it. Receipts must also be turned
in at the office before payments
will be made.

A DAY AT BAND CAMP

In an attempt to get an inside
view of the Annual Band Camp,
conducted by Maestro Marvin
Wood each year, we visited Tues
day with Mr.. Wood, members of
the band, the cooks, x. P.'s and
even the ever unpopular bugler,
Charles Douglas.
If you were to suddenly turn
your back on father time and
join the youngsters at the camp,
your day would begin at 7::30,
when the bugler routed you out
of bed with that merry tune,
Reville. After getting both feet
over the side of the old army
canvas cots that are used by
most of the members, you would
have fifteen minutes to dress,
brush your teeth and shave. Not
many of the lads at the camp
have much of a Whisker crop,
however, and no long boards
were seen on our visit. At 7:45,
you would begin fifteen min
ute drill period and at 800
would rush to the mess hall for
breakfast. Breakfast would start
with a glass of orange juice fol-
lowed by either hot or cold GER
cal, rolls, milk and hot chocolate
At nine a. m, after all the
dishes were washed, the band
falls out for drill until 1900 with
a lunch and dish washing con-
tinuing from noon until l:30. II
you were in camp on Tuesday,
your lunch would consist of po-
tato salad and cold cuts. A veg
etable plate of carrots, celery
and sliced tomatoes. and fruit
cocktail in jello for dessert. Milk,
bread, jelly and peanut butter
are always present on the table
After catching that forty winks
in midday siesta, you again
fall out at 1:30 and drill until
400. The big meal of the day is
served from four until five
thirty and the menu is something
to be envied in this day of high
prices. Baked ham and boiled
brown potatoes were served on
Tuesday along with stewed to-
matoes, head lettuce and big
helping Of cherry pie.
Following the evening meal,
your time is your own until; sew
en- when another drill period is
held until eight Taps sound
promptly at 1000 and everyone's
in bed, tired but happy.
From eight until ten the band
members dance, drink coke, or lie
on their hunks and converse
about their sore feet, aching
backs, cracked lips or just shoot
the breeze with their friends. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Wood not much
dancing was done the first night
in camp as everyone was glad to
relax following the days activ-
tiles.
The first and main complaint
that we heard was concerning
cracked lips following the first
day of marching and playing. We
understand that the, remedy is
more playing on the following
day.
The band mothers furnish the
cooks for the camp and each day
four KPs are furnished for the
kitchen. The KIP list consists of
one boy and three girls with the
boy sweeping and carrying the
garbage. Tuesdays list placed
Glenna Gould, Louise Johnson,
Peggy McGregor and Jimmy Nc
Gregor in the kitchen. Fifty per-
sons are served each meal at the
camp and coke dispenser is To-
Gated in the kitchen.
The boys make their home in

north end of the grounds while
the girls dormitory is located in

LOGICAL THINKING: So for
no one has been able to stop the
upward rise in price of every
thing and get things leveled off.
If there is not a leveling off soon,
where are we headed? The higher
the prices 60, and wages with
them, the greater is going to be
the catastrophe crash when the
smash-up strikes.
When two movable objects
smash together, the shock will be
felt the world around. We hear
the talk change, yes the time
is ripe for change, regardless of
what it might usher in as it cam
not be in any way as hopeless a
looking situation as WE are fac
ing at the present. Yes, there
must be change.
We agree that we are living in
the days of prosperity, but it is
only days borrowed, and they will
in time have to be payed back,
and with interest. So the sooner
we start paying what has been
borrowed, the easier it will be to
pay back and we can do it sooner,
Are we going to go forward, and
crash, or are we going to apply
the brakes, time will tell.
The present plans are for the
Rev. Archia to be named high
bishop of Christ's church, "Invis-
ible Church, the oneness church

which will form one more diocese
