it. Ready for what? He did not
know what lay before him, and he
did not want to find out.
The Figure touched Jameson,
and at once the scene changed.
Jameson surmised that he had been
transported from his bedroom to
another place. But the transGor-
nation was so abrupt that it was
as if ne had stood m0tionless while
everything was altered about him.
We was astonished to find him
self in a boys bedroom. He was as
founded a moment later to diseov-
er, upon approaching the bed, that
the boy sleeping there was his
nephew, Robert.
JOHN JAMES 1k was not man
conspicuous for virtue. But he did
have one redeeming quality. He
did love this nephew of his with
a consuming and unselfish love.
Robert for him was the son he
might have fathered had he not lost
the woman he loved to that adyer-
sary, Death.
For a moment, Jameson stood
looking down at Roberts head on
the pillow. Then he became aware
that the Figure was speaking, and
saying something, intolerable,
abominable.
"By the power that is given to
me-" said the Figure, Il will con-
fine sound within this room. No
body will hear the boys outeries. "
John Jameson was cold with
fear. What do you mean?" he de-
manded.
The Figure drew small bottle
from the folds of its garment.

ago the Church of Christ had re-
quested use of the Coontz Junior
High School auditorium for two
nights.
A few days before the lecture
series was to begin, Mr.. Jahr learn
ed the nature of the lectures which
were to be given by o. c. Lambert,
billed as an evangelist from Win
field, Ala. Mr.. Jahr said that if
the school administration had
known beforehand the nature of
the lectures, the permission for
use of the auditorium would not
have been granted.
At a special meeting, the per
mission for use of the auditorium
was cancelled. School Board Chair
man "A. E. Huguenn in announc-
ing the boards action, said:
I'VE cannot permit use of a
public school building for one
organized group TO attack an
other"
The Church of Christ, before the
school board action was taken, ad-
vertised the subjects Of the Lam
bert lecture series. They were:
Catholic Literature: A Continu-
Gus Forgery For 1900 Years; "Ro-
man Catholicism, An Enemy of the
Bible" and Enemy of Free Gov
ernment-Our Greatest Menace"

graph bulletin published what pur-
ported to be Roman Catholic

years by enemies of the Catholic
Church and which some called 1.-The
Knights of Columbus oath. 1t is a
lurid, vicious fabrication which
contains a promise to burn, boil,
flay, strangle and bury alive all
ProtestantS."
After permission for use of the
school auditorium was revoked, the
Church of Christ employed sound
truck and a qusrter-page ad IN a
Bremerton newspaper to announce
that the lecture series would be
held in church building. The
newspaper ad did not mention dl-
rectly the Catholic Church.
Some 20 persons showed up for
the first OF the Lambert lectures.

Final Appeal For
Old Toy Campaign

The London Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs is asking for old toys
for renovation and distribution to
the needy.
Mrs. T. j. Selby, Jr., chairman
of the committee, has requested
citizens to gather their contribu-
tions and leave them with the men
of the City garage, one door north
of 10 North Walnut ST.. and soon
as possible.
The city men will repair the toys
and since this job takes time, they
request that the toys be brought
in as soon as possible.
If it is inconvenient for you to
deliver the toys, a call to Mrs.
Selby at 162 will assure that your
toys are picked up and taken to
the City Garage.
Police Chief German Clark said
that dolls in particular are needed
right now, but that any and all
toys would be most welcome. The
need is great and the supplies are
few. Don't allow some little child
to miss a Christmas gift because
you forget or delay" said the
Chief. Bring or send those old
toys to us now. Well call for them,
too"

First Safe Drive
Day Shows Hope

Americas first Safe-Driving day
has been called a success by Ad-
miral H. B. Miller, (Ret), who
eyed the official reports of al fa-
talities Wednesday with the hope
for the cutting of the toll.
Icy roads and bad weather were
not helpful to the motorist as the
nation attempted to heedithe Presi-
dents plea for a deathless traffic
day.
Most areas reported that motor
lists on the whole were cooperating
with the President and each other
on a scale never noticed before.
Safety officials were hopeful that
this attitude could be fostered for
a year-around attempt at stopping
the slaughter.
The no-death goal was missed
shortly after midnight in an ac-
cident near Milwaukee, and about
two hours later, Ohio had its
first death in an accident in
Cleveland. From that time on, the
deaths rose slowly to Al, just 19
short of the number of deaths on
the same day in 1853.
Drivers of Madison County CO.
operated practically 100 percent
with the President, as the State
Highway Patrol reported only one
minor accident in West Jefferson
during the period.
The National Safety Council es-
timated so million motor vehicles
and 80 million drivers, riders and
walkers were on the streets and
highways. Reports from various
sections of the country indicated
travel was normal for week day.
Newspapers, radios, posters, tel
eviSion stars, and everyone interest
ed ali tried to help the first Safe
Driving Day.
Safety officials hoped to expand
SD Day into year-round safety
drive.
