That assures workers who have paid their premium for this insurance that the money will be on hand, if It Is needed. But, with more than 60 million persons employed lu the country, very little is required for unemployment checks. President Truman Is confident that he will be nominated on the first ballot, and further elected next November. He is planning his campaign on those lines. Indicating that he welcomes the opportunity to present his party's cause to the people. All through his life, Mr. Truman has not given evidence that be is a quitter. He enjoys a good fight. “There's many a slip' in politics. the Journal-Gazette warns as political gossip buzzes with the probability of Senator Taft being appointed to the Supreme Court, in the event Governor Dewey is elected president. The paper says: "If Dewey did get into the position to offer Taft the judicial appointment. It might be more than a gracious gesture to a defeated rival for the presidential nomine-

• special problem both as to thei reason for his excess poundage' and as regards treatment. Some physicians believe moat rases of overweight are due to nothing more than overeating. On the other hand, an accumulation of excess fat is so fur at variance with what we consider normal during childhood that many asports are Inclined to think It can be accounted for only by glandular disturbance, such as a lack of thyroid secretion or a disturbance of the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. it goes without saying that the child who ’is greatly overweight should be studied by a physician so that the true nature of his condition can be determined When It comes to ridding him of his extra tot. however. Dr. H. Boyd Graham, of Melbourne. Australia, believes the best results are obtained by the proper doses of tbvrold extract. and that starvation diets and violent exercise are to be avoided.

tion. Taft and Dewey do not see eye to eye on many issuec and Dewey might desire to promote Taft out of the senate to avoid the possibility of a collision with him later." o 9 If it is not legal to send a greater share of the gross income tax back to local communities for the payment of school teachers, Governor Gates should call a special session of the legislature to legalize the distribution. Tax collections amount to 65-mlllion dollars, which is more money than the state can spend, or distribute. Local taxing units are beset with high costs and the tax money has been collected from the taxpayers who also have to support the schools. The school units in Adams county deserve more of this tax melon. o o Fourth of July: Fourth of July oratory is not what It used to be. Fewer and fewer are those who can remember when the thing to do on Independence Day was to assemble on the town green or in some pleasant grove nearby where the best orator in the parts, would discuss for an hour or two the significance of the Declaration of Independence and the high mission of America.

The automobile, which gels the credit or blame for a good many things, is generally held respons ible for what has happened to independence Dey telebrations. It should also be noted that Ameri cans of the present day are not always eager to listen to speeches, and most communities have abandoned public programs on this day. There are times when the Flag should be waved. Independence Day is one of them. By raising the Flag, by listening to a little patriotic oratory, by spending a few minutes in reading the Declaration of Independence, Americans on this day ought to shake themselves a little, mentally. Most of us like to boast that we can call to mind the truths which In 1776 were held to be self-evi-dent. We know that considerable courage was needed to enunciate them in that day. But how many of us are as certain that the same truths are still self-evident today? ——o o—— Auto Damaged By Hit Run Driver The left rear fender of an automobile driven by Clyde Everett of Pleasant Mills was damaged last night when an unidentified automobile sideswiped the Everett machine on V.

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT i MR. DURFEE, it developed, was an old friend. Andrew felt inor* : dinatriy pleased that Mr. Wood* i ford had chosen him to come along with them, and listened to their i talk and reminiscence in respectful silence, with only an occasional interpolation. Mr. Durfee was thinking of building a house, but it had not yet got beyond the thinking stage. Still, Andrew waa sure that after tonight he would have a very good chance at the designing of that house, particularly when Mr. Woodford described his alterations on the Wheeler place in glowing terms. “Os course,” he added, “young Paulson here has some very handsome pieces of furniture, and a fine sense of decoration, so the interior was most attractive looking. But Tm very much inclined to discount these things, Durfee, and I can tell you the house itself was a good job . . . Wen, enough of bouses Have you closed your office for good now?" he asked hU friend. “Yes, and I don’t know whether Tm glad or sorry. It gave me a pang, I can tell you, to walk out of there for the last time, and say good-bye to all the staff. But rd had too much work these last five or six years, and I can stand a little rest, I think. SUH. I felt mighty queer .. . The word must have passed around, because even a string of our tankers, going past toward the dry-docks to be dearmed and refinished for peacetime service, gave me a salute.” Andrew was interested. “Dearmed,” he murmured. “I suppose they were fitted with pill-boxes and anti-aircraft guns.” “And concrete around the deckhouse—those ships took some awful strafing on the trip to Russia.” Durfee explained. “And then, of course, they all had skid decks to be removed, and they have to be re-painted " “Skid-decks.” Andrew said the word thoughtfully, some memory tugging at his brain. He had seen some of those tankers fitted for the carrying of fighter planes and other rush cargo. ’That's the deck they built on top, isn’t it?” he asked. "What do you mean, on top?" Mr. Woodford demanded. Mr. Durfee explained. "It was a long flat deck built about nine feet above the regular deck of the tinker, so that it looked a little like an airplane carrier. A tanker, you know, has the deckhouse aft, and then a long stretch to the bow, uninterrupted by anything larger than the expansion trunks, and pipes, and so forth. - Andrew suddenly sat forward tn kte chair. ~Thoee skid-decks must have been bum of pretty heavy Umsber.” be said, trying to keep the excitement out at his voice.

soned planks by now." "After tour years of weather? I should say so!” Durfee looked a’, him with sudden new respect. "Say, 1 see what you're getting at! I could use some of that stuff for the house I’m thinking of building!” ‘ Andrew sat back, letting out his breath a little to hide his disappointment. "No, 1 wasn’t getting at that at all,” he admitted slowly. “I was thinking of some houses I’m trying to build ... Do you think there’d be any chance of my getting some of that stuff?" Durfee puffed on his pipe a moment. “I don’t think so,” he said. “You see, the dry-dock is paid by the government to re-fit the tanker and whatever is salvaged and sold (that is. whatever doesn’t belong to the government) is credited to the shipowner. In this case, the oil company, you see." "But what would they do with the lumber?” Andrew pressed this point “Nothing. In the first place. It will probably be ripped off in such away that it’s ruined, anyhow. To save time, you know." “But it needn't be.” Andrew pursued the idea in his mind. “No ... If the right man were approached " “By you." "... by someone In authority," Durfee corrected him with a twinkle, "I think it could be arranged that the lumber would be carefully removed and saved ... I’ll look into it when I go back to Boston Monday.” Andrew had to be content with that, but his mind was already racing, if be could get hold of some lumber like that, he would have well-seasoned Umbers for the studding and joists of his projected house. For more than one. perhap*. If it didn't cost too much to have it handled carefully and freighted up here. When he went downstairs again, Joan was nowhere in sight Her mother was comfortably enaconcid in a corner with a friend, and he hesitated to interrupt her. Before he could make up his mind to do so, a slender hand touched him on the arm. Mary Roland smiled at him brilliantly. “Well." she said, ’you weren’t really thinking of settling down with two old ladies, were you? Not with me around!” She did not give him a chance to reply, but steered him toward the sun-parlor which had been cleared for dancing. Two couples were languidly moving about to the music from a mammoth radioPhonograph at one sida. One of I them, he saw, was Carol and a strange young man who had thick wavy blond hair aw. a permanent ■neer. Carol waved to him.

Ralph . . . The name struck a familiar chord. For a moment Andrew searched his memory, then he had it. “Young Estabrook?” he asked. “Os course, rd forgotten you wouldn’t know. You seem so—so established here,” Mary said with a smile, “that it’s hard to think of you as a comparative stranger." Andrew thought privately, after another glance at the young, discontented face, that one consolation for having sold the Wheeler place was that he wouldn’t have Ralph Estabrook for a neighbor. Even though it was only in the summers, and the Es’abrooks were quite some distance away. "1 see Carol has already met him." “Oh. yes. I gather she’s been hqunting the boundary line ever since she heard he had come up," Mary said with surprising acerbity. Andrew looked down at her, wondering If she herself waa smitten with the almost Grecian profile of young Ralph. "You’ve known him long?” "Ever since he was in knee pants,” she said. “They used to come up here summers ana rent a small place. Then, when Mr. Extabrook made all his money, they built their present house.” She added, with a note of admiration, “He’s a perfect devil Always was. too." Andrew could wqp Imagine ft. The more he stared at young Estabrook. the leas he liked him. This surprised him, because his was essentially a friendly nature. It couldn’t be attributed to jealousy, either, he thought, analyzing his own emotions with an inward smile, for he could not Imagine, being jealous of any man’s attentions to Carol—the little spitfire. If it had been Joan, now . . . He made up his mind to look up Joan as soon as this dance was over. As if she sensed his withdrawal. Mary was quieter. Besides, her bright eyes were always following the progress of Ralph and Carol Andrew offered to get Mary some punch, but she laughed at him. "You don’t have to practice your drawing-room manners up here.” she told him. “1 know you want to get away .. . Joan’s in the dining room- or was. when last seen,” she added with s knowing twinkle. Andrew beaded for the dining room. Yea, Joan was still there, standing beside the punch-bowl, IT 4 .,. ,J n< anlm » t «Hy *‘.th one of the three young men who had first greeted her.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE WHEN .JOAN was tn Andrew’s arms, dancing smoothly, she gave an exaggerated shiver. "Mercy, but you sounded cross," she teased him. “ May 1 have the pleasure.’ Not even a question mark after it! Are you always so autocratic?” Because he could feel himself softening with her in nis arms, and because he wanted to hold on to this heady feeling of supremacy, Andrew was gruff. “I’ve hardly had a sight of you since we came," he said with annoyance. “Snatched out of my hands right away by three young whippersnappers; and then ■ "Yes,” she interrupted him, "and then you went and sulked in a -corner and five minutes later you had disappeared. If anybody's going to do any complaining, I'm the one." Andrew steered her expertly toward the French doors which led to the garden. "AU right," be said, feeling suddenly gay. "Go ahead." The night was warm, and the stars overhead were visible, despite the glare in the sky from the lights of Branfield. Hardly a breath of alg was stirring, but in the darkness Andrew could feel his heart pounding against the wall of his chest with hammer-strokes. His arm still held Joan close, and she made no move to. get away. The night, the softness of her body, the faint perfume from hei hair acted on him like a drug. Without conscious volition, he turned her toward him, kissed her long and tenderly. “Joan,” he said, when he raised his head at last, and she rested lightly against him, her breath coming fast, “Joan, will you marry me?" i It broke the open. Re thought afterward that U he had only had the sense to keep quiet, he might have won her then. But with the word ’marry" she drew away with a faint sigh. She did not answer for a long time, then she said, with an obvious attempt at lightness, “I don't want to marry anyone. Andrew. Not yet." “Why not?” He had been so sure of her after that kiss, ther the hurt waa twice as deep, and hi- voice rasped with it harshly. She stiffened a little. "Rereupt I'm not in love." she said sharply, ami he caught his breath with pain. Not in love, and she could kiss him like that? He could have shaken her. he waa so angry. "I don’t think you know what you’re talking about,” be cried. "I think you are in love, and don’t know it—or won’t, admit it'" She put a ttttie distance between to oti ? CT WOMto ’“ ,he «•»<! fectly sure I’m In love with you, Andy Paulson, aren’t you? Well Tm not!” And she added, half to "As if I wouldn't know!" They hardly spoke for tbe rest of the evening.

Roland were talking business, and listened to them in a glum silence. He felt incredibly tired, as if all the life had left him suddenly. It seemed hours before the McClures were ready to go home, and then Joan waa so coolly polite that bis discouragement deepened. Maybe she was right Maybe she didn’t love him. after ail Maybe it had been a combination of the dance, and the night and the stars . . . Mm McClure was especially kind to him. “You’re a dear, Andy,” she said, as she bade him good-night “to have been our escort But then you always are. A dear, not an escort," she added with a heart-warming smite. That made him feel a little better. At least Joan’s mother liked him. It was something to know that much. • • • Andrew spent the next few days scouting for material* “It’s something like a game,” he told Mm Potto at supper one evening, “a kind of treasure hunt You get the hint of some shingles in an out-of-the-way place and scurry □ver there, only to find that someone else has been there before you.” “Baron?” she asked, with Interest “Usually," he answered with a determined smile. "But the fellow who had the shingles--ls he likes you—puts you on the trail of somebody who has some good stuff for window-sash. And that's the way it goea It’s getting so I’ll have to figure in my mileage with every foot of lumber!” "How about cinder blocks?" Mm Potts inquired. “Tve heard tell they're right handy. And cheap, too." •The cinder blocks don’t cost much," Andrew admitted, “but the tenor of laying the;., is prohibitive —for the sort of bouse 1 have in mind . . . Oh, I’m using them in [•art of it ... I hope Mr. Durfee ..." He did not finish the sentence, ana Mm Potts, although she looked at him with a question obviously on the Up of her tongue, kept silence. He heard from Durfee within the week. “It la all arranged.” the retired oil man wrote. "I’ve managed to wangle the skid-decks of two tankers fur us.” Andrew gloated over that “us." "When 1 got down here, I found that some of them were bolted on in such a fashion that the wood could not possibly be uaed-the b&ts ware •taggered every foot or so, and these decks will simply have to be ripped off—but two of them were in fine condition.
