Chapter 81

Chapter 81
IN the morning Anthea went in
L to Mario with his coffee, Joe's
letter, and a plea for Blanca.
Mario was furious, he did not
want to relent and at first refused
to see her. But living alone among
the white fur and gold walls, and
eating Mrs. Grainger's cooking
was beginning to pail. He secretly
wanted Blanca back. She had
looked after him for twenty years,
and he was unhappy as a cat
when his habitual background
was disturbed. He relented. but
very sternly, and Blanca with
many tears, and EXPLANATIONS of
gratitude, and promises of eternal
Servitude, was admitted into his
presence. She could come back,
said Mario, but any more nom
sense, and it would be the end.
And whatever happened to Gina,
she was not living there any
more.
Blanca crept into the kitchen,
and when Anthea got the car
out to drive Mario down to the
studio, she was busy about the
house again, and the house was
beginning to smell and look like
the Carlottis' home. She busted
and polished, and filed the vases
with flowers, and set out the table
of drinks, and put some tomato
sauce on to simmer. The smell Of
garlic gently permeated into the
hall, and with it Bianca's spirits
began to rise.
At the studio Mario found he
had forgotten his portfolio.
'"That womanl" he said. 'sWhy
has a man to have women abou'
hirn?"

gan, her heart in her eyes, ant

The bright sunny day was be-

Why did not Joe come?
Over the common, past the sta

catch of her breath, and a feel
ing that her heart would explode,
she recognized a long, loose

against the rain, streaking for

til the last page when the current
woman runs naked across a ter
race of a San Juan hotel, and her
limp body falls on a patch OF
sand near the beach chairs.
And from Mr.. Knights descrip-
ton of the lady passengers on the
vessels and in the island hotels,
there aren't any virtuous or semi
virtuous women left around Carl
bbean waters. They leap in and
out of berths and beds, predatory
fevered females with a most
amazing lack of selection and dis
erection.
This reviewer also has no OBJ
lection to the restrained and suit
able use of four letter variations
to describe the inevitable derriere
of the human form, either male
or female. But at least the author
might vary the basic word. Mr..
knight seems to be hypnotized
with the world tail. Nobody ever
sits on chair or gets kicked in
the rear. Always a lumpy tail or
"a flappy tail or just plain tail
sits on a chair or gets a kick.
The story is exciting enough
when you wade through the tails
and the torsos. 1t involves dope
pushers and murder and beauti-
full women. But this reviewer is
one reader who could do well with
considerably less of these pseudo
Spillane touches to the prose.

Big Darby Church
Has Benefac+or
Who Is Unknown

Big Darby Baptist Church, north
of West Jefferson, has been be-
friended for some years by a
strange benefactor who refuses to
reveal his identity.
According to a member of the
congregation of the church, a man
from Springfield, some years ago
when enroute to an. Ohio State
Football game, came upon the bea-
utiful site of the little church, pull
ed up and had a picnic lunch on
the lawn.
Through the years he has con-
tinued the custom and each time
he leaves the scene, according to
the church member, tueks in the
leaves of the Bible on the pulpit,
$40 or $25. When discovered be-
slowing his gift, he stated that he
was Springfield business man in
terested in the church and each
time left whatever he could spare
after he had eaten his lunch. Just
interested in the church, he said,
and left his little gift for its bene-
fit.

RoughFiders Bow
To Berne Union

Berne Union, who hadn't won
a game so far this year, came
through Friday in an upset of
the West Jefferson Roughriders
in a 1876 score. The Rockets"
played their best game of the
season to end a five game los
ing streak.
West Jefferson's we'll + a e d
squad had lost three close games
to the top teams in the Mid
State League just didn't have
what it took to outscore Berne
Union. Two drives fell short of
scoring territory and one drive
begged down on the two yard
line. Passing made the difference
when West Jefferson's attack net
ted only six yards in 13 tries.
Berne Union racked up 127 yards
through the air in completing 10
of 20. attempts. The ROughriders
held their own on the ground by
outgaining the Rockets 214 to
11S.

that the Ohio small game hunting

fire hazard to the Ohio country

A considerable number of let

the possible closing of the season,
and rumors have been floating
about the State to the same effect.

Army Cites Gains
In Battle Against
Death And Disease

WASHINGTON - The United
States Army is getting healthier
every day.
By concentrating on its preven-
tive medicine program, the Army
Medical Service has cut drastical-
ly the rate of illness and disease.
Progress in the field of disease
prevention can be measured statis-
tically by comparing the yearly
number of such admissions to hos
pitals and dispensaries during the
last three years.
During World War I disease ad-
missions averaged approximately
852 per 1000 soldier strength an
nually. The rate was reduced to
588 during World War II and
dropped to 468 during the Korean
war.
These same figures, if anaIyzed
in conjunction with total troop
strength, reveal that during World
War 1 416 per 1000 soldiers were
not available for duty because of
disease. This rate was reduced to
28.5 for World War II and to 1874
for the Korean war.
The Army Medical Service is
continuing its efforts TO improve
this record.

A Good Spirit

Charlie Hart, of Twickenham,
England, is looking for an oppon-
ent to engage in a fifteen-mile
race. The Englishman recently ran
eight miles in 102 minutes and was
reported scarcely out of breath.
That was the distance between
Kingston Market and Twicking-
ham Green. Now, Hart would pre-
fer to extend the distance and
conduct a race between Twicking-
ham and Windsor, a distance of
fifteen miles, or some other fif-
teen-mile distance.
Hart outran a coach and four

opment of preventive psychiatry
are among the latest advances in
this field.
Dramatic results in treatment
of battle casualties also have been
achieved by the Army Medical
Service through use of new pro-
cedures and techniques in care
and handling of sick and wounded
soldiers.
The case fatality rate which
stood at 81 per cent for wounded
soldiers treated during World War
was reduced to 4.5 during World
War II and to 2.3 during the Ko-
rean war.
High on the list of factors which
contributed to this lowering of the
mortality rate were new miracle"
drugs penicillin, chloramphenicol
aureomycin, Streptonycin and ter
ramycin - available throughout
the Army medical system from the
beginning of the Korean operation.
Whole available at forward
area hospitals in Korea-also help
ed reduce the mortality rate.
Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals
six of which supported combat
divisions during the war in Ko-
rea-played an important part in
lowering the death rate. These
units-usually staffed by II physi-
clans, all general surgeons or or
thopedic specialists-brought sur
gical treatment closer to the front
line than ever before. One unit in
Korea treated more than $4,000
patients during the three-year con-
flict. j..
Another factor which contribut-
ed to a lower death rate was the
specialist training program which
provided highly qualified surgeons
and orthopedists for stating mo-
bile surgical hospital units and for
ward-area hospitals.
