chine. Os course these items were as scarce with the congressman as "three-inch steaks" so he is still hoping for Santa Claus to come. O—O Vice-President Harry S. Truman said in a Chicago speech that America needs a benevolent St. Patrick to drive out the evil doctrines of racial and religious intolerance now plaguing the nation and hindering international cooperation. Speaking before the Irish Fellowship club, Mr. Truman warned that America is more vulnerable to intolerance and bigotry because it is composed of more diverse races and creeds than any other country in the world. He cited the Yalta meeting and the coming San Francisco conference as steps "along the road to world order.”. O—Q The newspaper PM says it polled the United States senate and

found only 49 senators who would say unequivocally that they would vote for United States entry into world security conference. Sixtyfour votes, a two-thirds majority, would be necessary for approvab PM said no senator declared flatly | that he would vote against such a proposal, but 34 expressed varying degrees of reservation. Four others said they probably would vote "yes.” Nine senators refused to discuss the poll or were not reached by PM. The survey gives unmistakable evidence that the battle of peace is not yet wop, the newspaper said. O—O There will be lots of work and not much fun for delegates to the world security conference starting in San Francisco, April 25, state department officials have indicated. Delegates will come from all corners of the world but must be content with the food fare of San Francisco office girls, war workers and others. No delicate or exotic viands will be flown there for pampered palates. During working houns, most delegates will eat standing up. Present plans call for building a sandwich counter in the foyer of the San Francisco opera house. More 'than 3,000 hotel rooms will be required in a city already

faced with an acute housing problem.

On The Home Front: The desperate plea so» move nurses to take care of the wounded will reouit in a serious curtailment of professional nursing service in | the homes of our nation unless civilians are prepared to give intelligent care to the meiptyers of their own families at home. Basil O'Conner, chairman of the American Red Cross, das appealed to every home to prepare at least one person for - emergency illness by enrollment in one of the Red Cross home nunsing courses. In case of an epidemic, even more people should be prepared to help out in their neighborhoods. Total warfare has taught the American people to be self-reliant. ( Home nursing, valuable at any times is vital today when doctors and nurses for civilians are rationed. To conserve time, a new six lesson course in home nursing teaches 32 basic nursing procedures most used In earing for the sick. If you are a nurse, and unavailable for military duty or on civilian hospital duty, ask your chapter about the -training for instructors. .If you are over 14 years of age, and have not had the Red Cross nursing course or its cquivijdeut, see your local Red Cross chapter today about enrolling. It is not only a. patriotic duty. It is a valuable opportunity to learn simple nursing skills by practicing them under the supervision of a professional nurse. —-Kendallville News-Sun. — o—- .

SYNOPSIS Daphne Willoughby Abruzzi, married when 17 and a widow at 25, returned to her home town after an absence of twelve years, eight of which were spent in Paris, London, and Naples. After her husband’s death, she worked four years for Corinne Hollis, a New York decorator. Before the train reached North Wintridge, Daphne thought of the many fanciful letters she wrote to her friend, Kate Dennison, describing her life with the romantic Carlo, her musician husband ... concert tours, villas, gay bohemian affairs ... She also thought of Alan Pembroke, a young architect, whom she’d met at Corinne’s. Daphne was wearing his orchids. At the station she got a warm welcome from Kate Dennison and her husband, “Tommy,” and went to their home. Daphne tells Kate that “Cousin Ella left me a house and a trust fund” of aljout $3,000 a year. Daphne declares that she has no intention of remarrying, but Kate is skeptical. Soon Daphne is busy renewing old acquaintances. CHAPTER FOUR It was a bunch of scarlet poppies, nodding from a bird’s nest of a hat that first attracted Daphne’s eye. Recognizing its wearer, she beamed. “Let me say it first for once, Mrs. Gilson: You haven't changed a bit!” Mrs. Gilson held Daphne’s hand tightly for a moment. “You took the words out of my mouth. All youy °W friends have been telling you that, haven’t they? And it’s true.” ' “Thanks, dear. And I’ve had a busy week, seeing old friends. Everyone seems to know I’m back.” “Os course they do. That was such a nice piece in Tommy Dennison’s paper. ... I suppose you’re coming to Minnie Fiske’s tea this afternoon?” Daphne said she hoped to drop in later, after she’d completed some household chores. . “I hear you’re making a lot of changes. Os course, with a quarter of a million dollars”—Mrs. Gilson didn’t seem to notice Daphne’s gasp —“you won’t have too much trouble getting help, but we have few young men who aren’t working in the war factories.” “I’ve got to hire someone to get the grounds in shape for a garden.” “If I hear of anyone, I’ll let you know.” Mrs. Gilson moved a little closer and dropped her voice. “Daphne, do you think this hat is too'giddy for me ?” “I think it’s just right.” “Well! Floss Huntley was saying the other day that we’ll all be getting dothes-conscious with you in our midst, just back from Paris, so to speak.” Daphne smiled wryly. (The one dreSs she’d got in Paris was a present from a girl whose cousin, a

Farm Bureau Meet Held Monday Night / ; Farm bureau organizations of Root, Union and . Preble townships held a joint meeting at Monmouth Monday evening, with more than 200 persons in attendance. A large increase in membership in all three townships was reported by Glen Workinger, county membership chairman. Root township has 83 members, compared to 43 last year; Union 70 as compared to 26 and Preble 102 as compared to eight. Mr. Workinger also stated that the county goal is 1,000 members this year. C. W. R. Schwartz, county chairman, spoke briefly on farm bureau activities before introducing Larry Brandon, state secretary of the farm bureau. Mr. Brandon stated that district four, which includes Adams county, is second in membership in the state. He complimented the Adams county bureau on its organization. He explained how the farm bureau has been organized in five departments, membership, publicity, tax and legis, lation, livestock and social and educational. Gus Schueler. Roqt township chairman, was in charge of the entertainment, which included a number of musical selections by the Geels family, the Magley quartet and Norwin Hoffman. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting.

dressmaker in Peoria, had sent it to her. It was wool, henna colored wool. It had been hot in Paris that summer, but she hadn’t had anything else to wear when she got out of the hospital. She would never wear a russet shade again as long as she lived. The memory made her feel a bit ill even now. She had to look at herself in a nearby store window mirror, to be reassured by her green shetland suit, her paler cashmere sweater.) Then Mrs. Gilson said, “Goodbye, my dear. Do try to get to Minnie’s for a cup of tea.” She went off with a final nod of her poppies. “Hiya, Daphne! Nice day, ain’t it?” Roy Gates, loading a grocery truck, called to her. “Perfect!” Everything was perfect Away for twelve years in places where her passing had left no imprint, she’d come home to find she was not forgotten, hailed by grocery boy and judge’s wife alike. Nothing much was changed. Familiar faces, a little heavier, or a little thinner, looked not much older to her. And the town was almost the same. There were a few new stores, but all the old ones were still there. It was only at the North End, far from the factory sites, that she found some notable changes. Out there the Dennisons had built a house in the colony of garden plots, rolling lawns, and new homes, their English stucco and French provengal brick mingled with Cape Cod saltboxes, lending a fashionable Westchester effect. “Our houses are modern,” Kate had said, “but we’ll always be small-town people. We’re not casual about cocktails. We don’t gamble with large sums of money, or with our happiness. Most of us have one maid, and the Turners, who own the Malleable Iron Works, are the only people who have a butler. “By the way, the Turner girl has a crush on you, Daphne. She’ll probably -make a pest of herself, but she’s a nice child.” Miss Buff Turner had glued her slim presence firmly to Daphne. Despite the ten years’ difference in their ages, they had become close friends in this one week. It was Buff who’d said, “You’ll have to get a car, living up on Woodbine Hill. I know where you can get a station wagon cheap.” So Daphne had bought the station wagon which was doing,'sixty up the long hill on the crest of which stood her worldly domain. She drove past the few sparsely placed houses of her neighborhood, and pulled up on the side of the road opposite her house, the better to get a long view of it. After a week she was beginning to see it with a coat of gleaming white where now it was a dusty mustard; to seq it with a copper
