But too frequently the history- books, which must be concerned with compiling as many facts as -possible in the least amount of space, tail to make the events of the past seem real to the people who read of them today. New York State has planned a series of programs on events significant in the history of the, state which will be put on phonograph records. The records are to be used as a supplement to classroom texts and as part of the ..adult education program. The idea of dramatizing history is not new. It can do much t 5 make history an interesting subject for those who study.it. Those who hear the records may remember significant dates not merely as printed words but as memorable days on which people made great| decisions with effects on their own lives and on the lives of all the people who came after ■ them. History is our story of the past. KnowingCthat those who preceded us met their problems with courage and fortitude may help us to meet our own calptly and with wisdom, j Fine \ portrayals of the great events in American history can do muclr to make the story of America’s past a living, inspiring part of dur present.

Television Code Os Ethics Is Adopted Television Seeks To Improve Programing Chicago, Oct. 20— (UP)-- Television has a new “code ot ethics” whieh permits performers to say “damn” or “hell”—if they have to —but makes the plunging neckline strictly taboo if it would “offend home viewed.” Jokee about traveling salesmen and farmer’s daughters are out-of-bounds along with such words as “nuts” and “nertz.” The plunging neckline is included in the code under the costuming of TV performers which should be “within the bounds of modesty, and shall avoid such exposure or such emphasis on anatomical detail as would embarrass or offend home viewers.” * The code was adopted yesterday by the national association of radio and television broadcasters. It was the product of four months of work by a committee which studied the standards by which television could Improve its programing. ■ i The committee also fought ways to set high standards of good taste, and carry out its mission of public service, education and entertainment. \ A six-man board is established by the code to scan all programs, handle complaints and interpret words and phrases which may be Used on the media. “Lewdness and impropriety" on the part of dancers was ruled out by the code. L ' „ Camera angles must avoid revealing bodily details of an indecent nature. , < ' , The code frowned bn, a variety of other material and prohibited it from making its appearance on TV. Fortune telling astrology, phrenology, palni reading and numerology were bashed. The code also stressed heavily the fostering of educational and cul tural programs, and particularly recognized the responsibility of tele vision toward children.

Peter must somehow oe eared from indulging m even what seemed small-talk, with thia evu woman, Mollie declared. CHAPTER FOUR * LOOKING buck, with the vision which this afternoon and evening had given her, it seemed likely to Mollie that Nicholas had deliberately removed other men from her circle of interest. She could remember breaking many dates tor Nicholas. She could recan a time or two when “possible" men had been killed off by bls biting scorn, or his even more damaging •amusement. Yes. he had done that! Why, only this afternoon, in speaking of Or. Shepherd, he had said something about, "His greatest charm is his unconsciousness of his appeal.” After this, Mollie would notice that unconsciousness rather than the appeal It was wicked of Nicholas to do things like that, little of him. He'd given her no chance to know other men, to see enough of them to get to know them. He’d fouled repeatedly—and he probably knew it. The telephone rang and Mollie answered it. It was the hospital, the night intern, giving her a case report for which she had asked. She thanked the young doctor, set the phone down, her Ups twisting ruefully. That was the kind of men who called Mollie Brooks these days; that was the only kind she knew. Doctors, Interns —and Nicholas Cowan. She paced up and down restlessly. Then suddenly she crossed the room to search for the only picture she had of Nicholas: It had been taken when he was in the Army. He’d been a brigadier, which Nicholas bad said was ridiculous. There could be no such thing as a doctor-brigadier-general. He’d likely been thinking the same thing when the picture was ta,ken. It was a color print A»d had Appeared in a fine magazine. The camera had caught the brown tones of Nicholas* hair and skin, the challenging light in his eyes, the slightly pugnacious tilt to his chin. “Sell me your proposition," the poee said. "And make It good!” Mollie smiled, then shook her head. That was Nicholas. A challenging man, ah Absorbingly interr esting one. flattering in his attentions to any woman, flattering in those which he had paid Mollie.

And attentions they must have been! She looked once more at her picture of Nicholas, then put it back between the books on her shelf. If a man loved her, she would expect and want his eyes to shine, his face to be flushed, bls speech to falter and trip and plunge. She would want every evidence of warmth from that man. But she could not imagine such warmth from Nicholas. His love would, at best, be a steady Are, close-banked. And it wasn’t a matter of hit being 40 years old. Mollie had known him for 10 years; be had never been a man beseechingly to need anyone, and to be desolate if deprived of that person. i When Mollie went ot bed that night, it was to dream as she was not tn the habit of doing. And she dreamed, not of Nicholas, but of the new surgical resident, Peter Shepherd. She dreamed Intimately of the young man; he stood at her shoulder, his red head downbent; his rich voice murmured tn her ear, his cheek touched hers —there was a dimple tn that cheek when he smiled. He did smile —tn the dream. His golden eyes were intent: his urgent voice spoke her name. :• • • In the Group, a resident doctor waa on* duty for 36 hours, off for 12. Peter Shepherd had rented Clara Wayne’s third floor for a month before a time came when he felt tree to accept one ot her invitations to "come tn and visit for a while." He was not inclined ever to be wary with people So far as had been proven to him, everyone was as friendly as himself. He’d just not been free . . . "I’ve baited an apple pie," Clare had said this evening, coming into the hall just as he started up the second flight of stairs. “And Tve just put a pot of coffee on to perk." "Sounds swell," he said. T’ll wash my hands and crack my door so I can hear the phone. I*m on emergency call" « “Yes, of course. I understand. But your phone can be heard down here." “Oh?" said Peter. “Just the belt Not the conversation." She smiled and went back td her own rooms, leaving the door ajar. ■ j Peter went on upstairs, thinking theft this Mrs. Wayne was an attractive woman—for her age. And she must get lonely. As he did. occasionally. She made him comfortable tn these furnished rooms of his. A pleasant sitting room with the bed set under the dormer window, covered with a dark spread tn the hope that ft would look like a couch. He had a tiny bath of his own: he ate his meals at the hospital cafeteria. Mrs. Wayne was always ready with a bright word and a smile when he came In or left the house. She was pleasant—and there bad been no evidence of the wry things which Ragsdale had suggested

when he’d told Peter that rooms might be available in the house where he himself had an apartment, y ■■ “Liz and I won’t be any bother to you," he said. "Liz works — modeling—and you know what a resident’s home life amounts to." Peter had nodded. He and Adrian Ragsdale ba d attended the same medical- school, often assigned as partners tn lab projects because of the alphabetical nearness of tjielr namea They’d known each other tor four years, always within the school. “But Clara’s rooms are comfortable. and not too expensive,” Ragsdale had continued. “S h e’s the kind of bag, of course, to check on your laundry, your garbage and trash—especially the bottles —and to take note of your mail." "She won’t have any fun with me. My laundry and garbage both go through the hospital facilities, and my mail—a letter once a week from my mother. You see, Ragsdale, Pm both innocent and uniinteresting." Dr. Ragsdale had lifted a hand. “O.IL, boy. If you can keep it that way . « TT have to keep it that way on ( the money 1 get." So Peter had rented Clara’s rooms, finding them comfortable and his landlady pleasant. Her apartment, he said tonight, was homey. “Is it Uke your home?" she asked eageriy, handing him a pitcher of cream. He looked again about the pleasant room—dark green walls, white woodwork, ruffled curtains at the windows. Two huge armchairs slipcovered, somewhat clumsily, with red denim, a couch covered in a striped material He smiled. “No, it isn’t much like my home, but it’s nice here." “1 think you said your home was in Benton?” “Yes, it is." “Do you come from a big fam, Uy?" - ! • r ‘There's just my mother. She’s in business.” Clara waited, but Peter said no more. “Do you see much of your friends, the Ragsdales ?” she asked, ' unabashed at what another person might have considered a snu b, though Peter had not meant it to be one. , He looked up now, smiling. “Oh, Ragsdale and I just happened tof. attend the same medical school." “X see. They say he’s very clever." •Topped our class. The rest of us geniuses didn’t have a show. Look where he is now, compared to me." ’ 1 *■, . “Do you know his wife, too?" “He married after leaving school. I’ve met her. She’s a Stunner, isn’t she?” A stunner, but her typo wasn’t Peter's dish. Those tall, slinky gals, with their husky voices and somnolent eyes—he liked aw friendlier sort. I _ jrToßeCowtmuedJ
