The home was built by Adams county tax funds and is maintained through that medium. A local institution, it is conducted in a commendable manner and well managed under the commissioer's supervision. —— o-—o Mayor Doan announce* that the ordinance providing that building permits be obtained before con struction work is started, will be enforced. These permits can be obtained at the city hall and the owner Is required to list his ad dress, or the site where the improvement is made. The fee charged by the city is nominal, so if you are planning to build an addition to your home or store, or a new building, get your permit at the city hall. 0 o— Two Pennsylvanians must think that the housing shortage Is due to a lack of building sites.

The Bureau has denied the claims, one reason being that, following the rule ot the federal homestead laws, the applicant must first Inspect the area In person and show that he is familiar with the land and Its surroundings. This the two Pennsylvanians might find II hard to establish. Another old landmark in the county will probably be moved with the closing of the wood, covered bridge at Ceylon, which spans an old channel of the Wabash river. The 110 toot span has been declared unsafe and as a safeguard to traffic, the entrances will be barricaded.

( ——O' With the exception of in Ger--1 many, the death rale in European 1 countries is lower than before the war and health conditions are l greatly improved. The authority . for the statement is the statistician for one of the large American Insurance Companies. His report , states. The relatively favorable i htalth conditions in Europe today . reflect in part the efforts of I'NRRA and other agencies whi< h - assumed its functions." The i United States has helped the peo--1 pie of Europe to su< h a great axI tent that their own recovery > should begin to be noticable. o o Au lowa judgu fined a man SSO for stealing a newspaper from the porch of a subscriber, giving the decision that a newspaper was personal property and belonged to the carrier until accounted for. Since the newspaper snatcher was 1 50 years older than the carrier, the judge fixed the fine at $! for ' each year of difference in their age. A newspaper may uot seem 1 of much value, but a lot of labor 1 goes into each edition and It 1s a ' piece of merchandise, for which the carrier pays money. The lowa decision places a new value on newspapers. Once a nuisance, now sought k after. This is the story ot ilmc nite, an ore whose presence used to annoy iron miners in the Adirondack mountains. Now the fact that it contains titanium f makes it valuable. Titanium is said to be stronger than aluminum or magnesium, and may replace t steel and magnesium in airplane and automobile parts Oxide of titanium is also used in some paints. The attractive feature t about titanium is its abundance. It has been called the world's fourth most plentiful structural metal. Usually natural resources a« precious as titanium bids fair to be are scarce. Q — O Another voice in the growing chorus against comic books is that of Dr. Fredric Wart ham. senior psychiatrist of New York City's Department of Hospitals. In the Saturday Review of Literature Dr. Warthman writes that comic books are "the greatest mass influence on children today." He believes the influence entirely had.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN >■ MRS. WOODFORD shook an admonitory Anger at Andrew, leaning over tittle Mra> McClure » in the process. “Now, 1 know , you’re an artist, and artists arc impractical—oil, yes. you are! And » architects are certainly artists! — but you really mustn’t go into farming without some notion of wbat you are going to do. Now, 1 remember that Mr. Wheeler had a great success for several years < with his lettuce and spinach and t root crops. He sold them to the hotels in Franconis, and of course r with the summer trade there's al- # ways a demand for that sort of thing. But then be went in for p potatoes, and though he did well enough, I always thought it was a change tor the worse. There's 11 something so unromantic about a P potato, don’t you think?" The question was obviously rhetorical * because she did not pause, even s for an Instant. "And his wife used to have simply marveloui f strawberries. She made a most delicious Jam. too, and I used to try and persuade her to sell me • some every year, but she would a hold it for those big hulking sons of hers—she told me they could “ each cat a glassful at a meal!" , "I’d like to raise a few, my* seif," Andrew said thoughtfully. ” He was remembering the beauti- , ful strawberry beds at home, and the great red luscious berries c which he and his grandfather had ( always eaten in European fashion, dipping them whole Into sugar. I and sometimes wina He thought he could remember the way in which Hoekstra, the head gardener, had tended them. He would like to try IL They were dimming the lights la I the hall. George Roland had the . screen adjusted to his satisfaction . and was running a test strip of 1 film to try the focus of his pro- ' Jector. A small figure slipp'd into I the empty seat beside Andrew, and > he turned with a sudden feeling of . pleasure. Even la the dark, even without a word spoken, he knew that It was Joan. He settled back ' tn his chair happily, with the sense 1 that something which had been t incomplete was now whole. r "Are the dishes all washed?" he r whispered, bending toward her. I She laughed softly, “hfa. I’m s deserter. I was afraid 1 would ri dish pan hands. And besides, wanted to be out here with Mother and you . . ." 1• o • i Andrew had never been happier » than he was for the next few , weeka Nor, for that matter, had , he ever been busier. For one thing, he had to make detailed plans of the proposed alterations on his house.

trees were being trucked to the Itranficld Lumber Supply Company. His order went with It. and he took time off to go and watch the logs moving toward the bright saw, and listened to the high naaal whine as it entered them. He spent his days tn a perfect fever of activity—interviewing carpenters and plumbers and electricians, using al) his persuasive powers on them to get their promise for some work before summer. Then there was the matter of finding fixtures. He was compelled finally to let the second bathroom wait for a while. He would put in a good one downstairs where his own bedroom was to be, and install the second when materials were coming through more readily. He made several Journeys to Woodsville where he interviewed the County Agent about possibilities tor his farm. This first year there would be little chance to do much—it was already too late. But he could have the apple trees attended to, and be could do a i good deal of clearing. He laid out tentative plans for his flower garden, and set out plants in the furi thermost beds, where they wouldn’t get trampled by the workmen near the house. He bought tools, spending some of his happiest hours in the two large hardware stores which Branfield boasted. It wra difficult to resist some things, bit l he had a canny eye upon his d?> I minlshing bank account, an 1 watched every penny. Not only were his days busy now, but his evenings, too. Since the Family Supper, he had been accepted as one of the young people of the town, and found himself included in the social occasions of the crowd in which Joan and Alec, and Alec's wife Helen, and George Roland and his wife, were Important members. George and Cecile gave a buffet supper the following Sunday, and Andrew brought Joan at Cecile's request. There were two new people there whom Andrew had never met— Dr. Brian Campbell, and his wife Dr. Fay Torrey. "Well, Tve certainly heard enough about you," Brian greeted him at once when they were introduced. "If George hadn't had this bright Idea. I was going to look you up myself. Curiosity. Tou ve no idea what a topic of conversation you are! And besides, I thought Td better get to you before any of the other doctors do —got to keep a lookout for new business, you know." He eyed Andrew expertly. “But I'm afraid that's out—you look unpleasantly healthy to me." "1 am. It's your New Hampshire climate, and Mrs Potts cooking." “Oh-oh! Then you U have to watch the waisttine. The late Mr. Putts gained a hundred pounds or so before he died." "You do sound cheerful!" Qecik chided him. “Hut never mind, ho II be eating out at parties like these, and that will keep down his cal ary intake" “1 can use at least six thousand a day right now," Andrew said with a sigh. sinking into a comfortable chair. "The way I’ve been i running around, the number of ■ B. T. U.'S I've bean expending. «’s

a wonder I'm not a mere wraith," Alec snorted, “You mean it s no wonder 1 am n mere wraith. That man is in and out of the office—mostly in—twenty times a day. 'I'U want twenty feet of this moulding, he yells, aod slaps down a drawing on my desk. Ten minutes later he's back again. *One hundred and forty feet ot this!* And slap goes another drawing. 1 think he fishes them out of the air myself. He can't have time to make them." “And Dad tells me he's tn the house, down at the brook, digging in the garden, helping with the trees, all over the place, in fact, ail the time." That was Cecile. "Do you like being that energetic?’’ George demanded with an unbelieving air. “I'm nuts about It," Andrew answered, stifling a yawn, and they all laughed. The Roland apartment was small, and half ot the guests had to sit on the floor. But there was an air of camaraderie, ot happy fellowship which was like wine to Andrew’s thirsty spirit Best of all was the realization that he was accepted os one of them on no other menu than his personality. They had no notion ot his past wealth, of his new poverty. They knew nothing about him except what they had seen for themselves, and they liked IL It was this which made him happiest "How did you like my pictures the other night ?" George was asking him. "They were swell. I can hardly wait for winter now," Andrew answered. "Well, I had an ulterior motive in asking you." George confided. ’T thought you might be lured into trying skiing yourself, and then I could sell you your outfit" "And he could icach you to ski. too." Cecile r.-u<l with a rush "George is simply wonderful—on skua" The laughter wae, general, to her blushing confusion. It gave Andrew time to reach a decision, which was a hard one for him to make, but his new Ute demanded it. In other daya, he would have answered George easily, "Sure I’U buy my stuff from your and not have gives a second thought to the handsome skis and sports clothes which he already owned. But now things were different He had to think of tua dwindling capital He said instead, with as casual an air as be could manage, "That’s nice of you. Georg* but 1 already know how And I've plenty of stuff left from other yearn I—l used to ski tn Switzerland." "In Switzerland!" It was as if he had mentioned the moon to some of them. Not one or them had ever been there. They had ail wanted to go, and thl question* which descended on him now were like an avalanche. He answered readily ekoußh, but R was strenuous mental week, watching every word to make sure that be did not gi.e Ui«n a hint of ms former life. He was afraid it might alienate them if be did.
