Jerry's heart softened. He
began to, realize that he was in
the hands Of the devil, and he
began to change /and to admit
his faults.
However, the devil is not van
pushed so easily. When those
who held the purse strings and
other friends of Jerry's who
wanted to use him, saw that
their stooge Jerry was going
back to his wife whom he really
loved, they became rantic. They
threatened. They cajoled. They
lied. They advised. And the
weak and ccwardly Jerry, sus-
ceptible to flattery and afraid to
be poor, sacrificed Mrs. Jerry.
But lie WAS playing with fire.

desire for power, for riches and
for public acclaim.

James looked disrnally out his
bedroom window at the three boys
outside, playing in the street. The

the house, he yelled in an unmat-

"Hey, Jimmy! Amt We comm

For WHAT. asked James. He
lay supined upon the couch and
propped his chin in the soft palm
of his hands, coiling this feet at
the opposite end. "You fellas
aren't doing anything that seems
interesting to me-"
Henry Haper, the boy in green
slacks stopped pegging the pen
knife in the ground to glance up
at the high window.

be we amt good enough for that
guy to play with at all, maybe
Maybe he wants us all to be stuck
up like him, his old man, and his

Drop dead", said the blond.
Don't nobody have to play with
anybody that don't want to. Jimmy

"I'm not stuck-up. But I've got

Henry sneered, "Awww"
"Or maybe he's just asking for a
hard punch in the nose, maybe"
MAYBE / am . I. SO what?
James stood to his feet, still
looking Que the window $50 may
be I'll come down and punch YOU"
Maybe you will and maybe
you won't. But I'll be here wait

James felt his heart jump into
the SUBMITS of his thin chest. He
was only b1uffing, with no inten-
tons Of punching anybody's nose.
B'ut unfortunately Henry had to
call him.
Consequently, he walked slowly
outside and stood on the front
veranda. The blond, Henry, and
Billy Wellsworrh waited at the

Henry had his fists balled, rocking
back and forth on his heels and
toes, once in awhile smacking his
right fist into his left palm.

But in the process he moderated

bettered him by having the longer

Miss Eleanor Gartner, much
travelled daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest Gartner of Gaithersburg,
made an unusual collection of
souvenirs and trinkets during her
residence in South America and
Germany. At Christmas she ar
ranged her collection so that her
friends would be able to inspect
the many interesting items.
A pair of llama skin rugs were
the largest exhibit. These rugs
came from Lima, Peru, and more
than covered the piano in the In
ternational Room of the Gartner
home.
Much time had been spent on
labelling and grouping the pieces
according to the nation from which
they came. In the South American
group a large Figa, or hoodoo
charm hung over all the exhibits,
which included beautiful silver
tea service from Bolivia. Probably
the most detailed piece in this
group was the pair of tiny wooden
schooners, complete in minutest de-
tail. The Americans who live in
the southern part of our hemis-
phere are famous for their pictures
made from the wings of wildly
colored butterflies. Miss Gartner
has in her collection such a picture
which has been made into a tray.
The piece which your correspon-
dent would choose were she able
to do so, would be the delicate hand
made lace, as finely made as the
most beautiful spider web. There
were several such sets on display.
The Mexican exhibits were pre-
dominated by the costumed dolls
dressed in native costume, complete
in every detail.
European collections were
grouped on several stands and card
tables, over which hung leather
wall piece-a hunting scene, of two
hunters who had just killed deer
with bow and arrow. The picture
was made of tanned leather, sewed
together Each piece was an appro-
pirate color and the overall effect
was charming.
In practically every group were
dolls costumed in their native cos
tune. Germany's doll was seated
at the piano and dressed in the
style of Mozart's lifetime. Several
corks carved into little Dutch faces

came from Holland. One cork was
so complete that when it is re-
moved from the bottle, the carved
face sticks it's tongue out at the
person opening the bottle. Other
countries represented by souvenirs
we're Italy, Switzerland, France,
Chechoslavkia, and Spain.
Miss Gartner has never visited
Hawaii, but her many friends have
supplied her with grass skirt,
woven mats and other trinkets
from the islands of the Pacific.
Not wishing to leave her own
country out of the International
Room, Miss Gartner has collected
native western Indian pieces in
Guiding dolls, tom-toms, and other
work made by the original North
Americans.
In the Gartner living room is a
large painting in oil Of Miss
Gartner, made by a famous Ger
man portrait painter in which she
is dressed in an original model
made by German dressmaker-of
a striking orange color with black
Chantilly lace.
Those who missed seeing the ex-
hibit, which included Vulnerable
items we do not have the space to
mention, certainly missed a most
interesting and educational eve
ming.

Pearson Radio Statement

occasional emergency purchases
were made from local stations
other than those which could bill
directly from the oil company.
This means that the County was
paying for premium gasoline not
1856 cents but ~ cents less than
the current prevailing price which
according to late bills, was 21.8
cents. Furthermore, the County
must pay on wholesale gasoline,
the state tax of five cents Is cents)
in addition to the 1876 cents con-
tract price or, in other words, 1876
cents. From these figures it can be
computed that the maximum gross
savings which it would be possible
for the County to make in any one
year provided purchases do not
exceed those of 1947-48) is $751;
1850. After taking into consid-
GRAFTON the fact that the County
must, when dispensing its own
gasoline stand the loss of shrink
age and evaporation and must fur
nish personnel to dispense the
gasoline, it is very doubtful if
savings in excess of $4,000 could
be effected and even this will not
be possible without efficient person
mel and proper supervision. 1t
would not take a great amout of
carelessness to lose the entire
saving.
| do not wish it to be inferred,
however, that / have any personal
objection to the County establish
ing the policy of dispensing its own
gasoline nor do l have any objec-
ton nor wish to criticize any other
reasonable policy of the govern
ment of this County. l have always
felt that it is my duty not to estab-
lish the policy of the County but
to assist the existing government
in carrying out its stated policies
whether or not these might be in
conformance with my own ideals.
l hope that perhaps you, as a
citizen of this County with a large
audience and the influence you
possess will be able to assist US in
the future to educate the citizens
of this County to take longer looks
and shorter leaps.
Very truly yours,

meet the minimum requirements
of one nurse per 5000 population.
Such a shortage requires constant
adjusting of the nurses daily tasks
to meet the most important nursing
needs For example, when she is
called upon to accompany "blue
baby to the hospital in the police
ambulance, she must drop all other
routine work and hope somehow
to make it up later,
The problem of acquiring an
adequate iwell trained staff of
nurses in the Health Department
is influenced by the shortage of
nurses generally, inadequate sal
aries and the need for a car.
However there are few nurses on
the county eligible list for staff
positions at the present ime were
