When asked to , what branch he was to be assigned* he was informed that they hadn't decided yet but felt safe in assuring him be would nut be given any glider duty. —o Governor Dewey no doubt finds campaigning for president of the United States the toughekt job he ever tackled.

Dr. Clement T Maine, state superintendent of public instruction, urges the observance of national "Constitution Day.” September 17, and the week following, “in a movement to develop a keener appreciation of the privileges and responsibilities of American citizenship.” —o The War Production Board has disclosed that the aircraft industry has been turning out 1.500 fourmotored bombers a month — with increased emphasis on the mammoth 829 Superfortress and B-32 Domlnator. Lotting down the bars on heavy bomber figures for the first time, the board announced at Washington that a 1,000-a-month mark was reached last fall—nine months ahead of schedule — and that the production rate has climbed steadily since. —o The war in Europe goes on with indications not as good for air early conclusion as a week ago. Germany has gathered her forces and with the lines shortened can go on defensively perhaps for sonic time. Their grave question Is a shortage of materials and the lack of airpower to compete with the Allies. However the slowup of the past few days may also be due to the tact that rhe Allfed supplies have to lie brought up and the lines teorganixed for the next jump. They have moved so rapidly that It Is not surprising that we need to cover up. The battle of the Rhine should decide the length of the war. —o Ray Letts, county chairman of the campaign to raise fifty thousand dollars to establish and equip a modern airport in Adams county. He is an excellent organizer and will do every thing humanly possible to make the drive a success. Fifty thousand dollars may seem like q large sum of money but an airport will not be of much value unless it is a good one. A number of our citizens have gjven this proposition much study and thought and they believe that it will be possible for this splendid county to establish an airport that we will all be proud of. This is true because of the proposed donation of l*o acres of land for the site, a 310.000 gift based on the raising of 3*0.000 by the community and the fact that several organizations will give substantially. It's a progressive effort that should have the support of those who believe that air travel will increase rapidly in the postwar period. -0 Federal Highway Aid: After more than a year of deliberation. congress shows some disposition to pass a federal high way aid bill. A measure pending in the senate seeks to appropriate 3850,000.000 a year and would allocate about 318.000.000 a year to Indiana. The house bill, originally providing for 31.000.000.000 has been amended to appropriate 3500.000.000 yearly for three years. Under the terms of this bill fndi-’ ana would receive slightly less than 311.500,000 a year In tedl-ral aid. Samuel C. Hadden, chairman of the Indiana highway commission, who HI also president of the Association of Btatc Highway Commissions. has been prssslng for the approval of this legislation io an effort to enable the states to formulate their postwar programs. Mr Hadden will be in Washington this week to do what he can in behalf of the senate bill. He favors it because it U mure generous thee the house bill sad for the

SYNOPSIS i A Irading and popular resident of I Talbot. sleepy Uttlo Cheiapcaka Bay tillage. is MRS. Et’NICM REYNOLDS. elderly and unable to walk, but ths possessor of young ideas. YESTERDAY: Her friends hold a party for Mrs. Rey nolds on bar 80th birthday. CHAPTER TWO MRS. REYNOLDS mention of taking a nap scattered the ladies as nothing elan could have done. There were quiet tiptoeings away. Through her long ey -’ashes she . watched them go. Since childhood, which seemed far away in a differ* ent world, -he had been able to pre* tend sleep while she wit covertly e watching all that was going on it around her. It was nice to fee! the sun on her face and hands. It was nice to be alone for a while. It was nice on this glorious day to feel P that winter was over and gone. She i_ might not live to see another one f but, if so, that was only the more , reason she should enjoy the spring and summer that were opening for her now. And she intended enjoying them to the utmost Now that Laura had opened her circulating library in Weston, she would be much freer. She would ha-e long afternoons and mornings, too, to sit in the sun. And she wasn't going to look back at all or remember anything. The air was so rich and fragrant. Lilacs were in bloom and the next house was almost blanketed with a giant crepe myrtle bush on this side. Talbot was lovrty because the perfume was always riding on good clean air off the wide reaches of Chesapeake bay. It was like rich icing on a very good cake that really didn't need icing. She could look at the flamboyant crepe myrtle aad then turn her head a Utile and see the boats comipg in. Th* sailing boats were best, of course, boats you could see and not hear, something to look at rwn while your ears were ravished by the cool, clear call of the redbird or the luscious. ever changing mu tie of the mocking bird. There was so much beauty in this place when people didn’t insist on talking to you.

__ Rom where I sit... Joe Marsh Thad Phibbs’ Formula for Fun

Tha<i Phibbs has a theory of enjoyment all his own The more tired he is from working at the War Plant, the more fun he has pitching horseshoes with the boys these summer evenings. “That’s because I feel that f deserve it," Thad says simply. And I wonder if he isn’t right 1 wonder if we don't enjoy r things in proportion as we know I we've earned them. Is a little relaxation ever more welcome than after a hard day’s work? 11 Do we appreciate our little i pleasures quite as much as when

It was the young i girl who had sat on the inn porch. I "Good afternoon, young lady. < Won't you come up and sit?” “Tm afraid 1 woke you up. Tm I sorry." The old woman chuckled. The girl’s voice suited her. It was low and quiet, but very clear. No mumbling. Mrs. Reynolds pointed to a chair*beside her. "I’m glad you came along. I shouldn't have slept. Naps are silly. , They're a sign of old age." ! "Or contentment" The girt sat , down easily as she spoke. ! The old eyes blinked approval. , "Contentment," she repeated. "I I like that. And you're right I was . very contented. Everything seemed . ver y good to me. the way, I , wish you Lad come to my birthday , party. We needed to see a young, ' smiling face. At least I did." * The girt's eyes lighted up. Tm t afraid I heard some of it—the , party, I mean. And Mrs. Bancroft e even gave me a piece of the cake.” ; "Please don't UU me you’ve o walked up here to tell me how f wonderful I am for a woman 80 r years of age. I really don't think I could stand any more of It I'd be . sorry I woke up. I’m very tired of t having been a symbol of antiquity, i infirmity and longevity all day. I ! told them I’m tljrough with birth* e days. It’s all nonsense." I The girt shook her head. "Tm f here because I want to talk about II myself. I’d better not sail under t false colon any more. Mrs. Banti croft told me you needed a practi- - cal nurse to help you. I’m hoping e you'll consider ma for the Job " e "Oh." The old woman studied her i, again, running her over slowly r. from the smart little hat down to a the trim shoes with considerably 1. higher heels than were usual In k Talbot ’That's why you were a watching me as they carried me up h the steps at the Inn," she said. * "You’re a nurse." “No.” The denial was more than o crisp. "I am not really a nurse, y Merely a practical nurse. I’ve had «■ * little experience caring for elder* n |y people and-well, I think I'd like n to stay here.” rs "You like Talbot? That's strange, id It s such a quiet place. And you're it as young and full of life." « JI *•«» • <I«Wt place. Tm tired re of New York." It The old woman nodded gravely.
