ment.
Now, as never before, our democ-
racy is being challenged. Anti-dem-
ocratic forces often hide behind the
protection of t h e Bill of Rights,
hoping to brighten us into curbing
our civil liberties, the first step to-
ward totalitarian rule. Being fully
aware of their insidious purpose,
we must preserve. these liberties,
even for those whose opinions we
detest.
. TO REMIND AMERICANS of
their precious heritage in the Bill
of Rights, and to: renew the faith
of free men everywhere, the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union is plan
ming a nationwide program of pub
licity through the press, radio, tele-
vision and magazines. Featured in
this program will be a newspaper
survey of the current status of civil
liberties in the country's largest
cities, documentary drama broad
cast over the National Broadcasting
Company network and a series Of
articles in leading national maya
zines. The American Civil Liberties
Union is also sponsoring a contest
in cooperation with the National
Association of Educational Broad
casters, for the best college radio
script on civil liberties.
Today the Bill of Rights takes
on new world significance as one
OF democracy's proudest achieve
ments. Only by continuous support
Of both. the word and spirit of the
Bill of Rights can. we insure the
heritage of freedom for our chill
dren and furnish the best argument
for universal acceptance of the

up in a bit of string, and when my
head broke water l saw Crazy Moe
standing on the dock hauling in his
second fish-me, and I was darned
near as dead as the first one. The
line, OF course, wasn't strong enough
to do more than keep me afloat, but
it gave Terry chance to dive in
and pull me over to the ladder.
After I had recovered breath
and bravado, asked Crazy Moe
to let me have his fishing line
for keepsake, and when he
demurred bribed it away from
him with what was an important
piece of money in those days
new Liberty Head nickel.
Today, many decades and chins
later, the piece of string occupies
prominent place among the me-

reminder of the time when my life
hung by hair. And my favorite

her.

AS soon as grease is spilled Oh

will make it harden before it has

and you scrape it off with a dull,
flat-bladed table knife.
The less linoleum is washed,
the longer it will last; and wash
ing can be postponed in several
ways. Wax new linoleum when it's
laid, for one thing, and keep it
well waxed. Also, when anything
is spilled on the floor, wipe it up
with a damp cloth immediately.
The life of linoleum floor cover
ings can be extended by giving ex-
ira protection to the portions
which come in for an extra share
of traffic and abuse. The spot in
front of the sink is the most popu-
lar one; and an ordinary small
throw rug will protect it from
wear and dripping. Or, as a
temporary measure, rip open a
paper bag and stand on that
while washing dishes. -.

There was lot of excitement dur

Deke Miller could have handled the
situation SO adroitly. He stood with
his back to the wall at the farther
end of the room with a gun in his
hand while I called headquarters.

don't mind telling you I'm burning

me too" I agreed.
GO WE DROVE up to Bursley's
~ and Waterman let us in and
told us that Mr.. Bursley was still
in his office. Bursley was sitting
there calmly reading the evening
paper.
did you get the money
back?" he asked.

Thought you would" said
Bursley.
"What made you think 500"
Deke asked.
"Eh?" said Bursley. ooh, well
that's where they phoned before
leaving here. l and my assistant
were locked in that closet. We
heard them phone"
do you mean to say" Deke
asked that they we're stupid
enough to give away their hide-out
by phoning from here?"
Bursley chuckled. cit amounts to
that, though they didn't know it.
They used that phone. Dial, YOU
know. Didn't have to speak a num-
Der so figured no one could check
back" l counted the clicks. Easy.
You count the clicks of the dial
when she goes back, and you
can figure what number anybody's
calling"
It's quite a jolt when you find an
ordinary citizen as calm and level
headed in time of emergency as a
cop should be-
Deke cleared his throat. "Mr.
Bursley, I'd like to remind YOU
again that it is dangerous tire way
you make up your payroll. Now"
