tional average -, now on the up
grade - because of diversified
ton of employment" in the State.
Virginia unemployment, they
said, has been caused this year
by manufacturers operating on
'hand-to-mouth basis" In other
words, manufacturers and retail

up inventories, so that factories
have closed down for short inter-
walls, reopening when more orders
were received.

it for about four weeks. The same

Sometimes he found frankie
screaming. unnoticed. on the floor.
He would reproach his wife, only
to have her ignore him, with a
look in her eyes that frightened
him.

housekeeper came in the daytime
to care for the children.
But Christmas Eve came, and
Angelo couldn't face the next day
without his wife. He begged the
doctors to let the family have
Christmas together. Emily came
home. In the baroness of their
one room, a Christmas basket
from the church brought a little
cheer.
Twelve nights later it happened.
Emily picked up a soda bottle
and lunged at little frankie. The
bottle struck Angelo as he rushed
to stop her.
Angelo sent 6-year-old Peter to
bring help. and the police came
and took his wife away. She didn't
come home again.
