ANNE had heqird her parents go .put. .She had 1 been dressing, then, to join: them. However tijerC was no tilirfy. They always went early She would shp in later, and if the place beside hes mother was filled, ' her father would see her wherever she sat, But she dressed mutinously. After all. nothing was different. She was doing what she was supposed to do even if not quite so regularly. And now, with summer over, it, would be more rather than less regularly. There was that soft spot in her heart for her father. * that tenderness that would not permit her to trouble him beyond a certain point. She thought of -the Moores and wished ardently for their independence of action Sunday was a holiday for then! Their work stopped, friends came, and the pleasant casual atmosphei-e tn which they lived was intensified. They rule themselves she thought. They don’t have to live up to - anybody or anything. They can do exactly as they please. Tbey’re\ free! ? Not Donald, though. He was a teacher. He would be watched. So he had to set a pattern for emuia- * tion. Already he had begun. Already he had joined the Little Stone Church and was to be seen somewhere in it almost every Sunday. The thought increased her discontent. Why did he have to be like that? , Why, oh, why did he have to be a teacher? She knew the answer well enough. Virginia had told her. She had gone over to Virginia’s one / day when Donald was not the.re and had found her painting the frpnt view at the house. Anne had joined her at the foot of the ter- , race. To her it was magic to see ilie way a picture grew out of th© M laid m th* canvas. Y

' L ; ' ''' \ .< t Premier Stalin Uent to the r ■ ; I Japanese ' people a message of sympathy for theiilj jjight under occupation. If the \ recjsnt reports from Japan are accurate, the people tl ere are not feeling any great heed for sympathy. ‘they have nude, in fact, one of the most rapii recoveries any people ever ma le defeat, in war. and hay«f acquired individual liberties an 1 privileges never before enjoyed, as well aS a better standard of liviig. Perhaps it wquld be "more in order for ijapan to send to thg Russian people sympathy for their condition under Comnhinism, U 6 o—— ■M'h -i -L i I ’ ; I Marshall Pldn Ends:— , The European Rec overy Program came to its offic ail end with the turn .’of the year.?

Virginia did not mind her pres- . fence She could talk while she worked. And she talked of many things. For instance, did Anne know that an al6 no muskrat had been discovered in the swamps ot Maryland down pn the Eastern Shore? Virginia saw in that a new industry, a v’onderful chance for the making of money by trappers and turners alike. “It looks like ermine,’i she feaid, “but jit will have the durability ot inUskrat and muskrat prices—upped a bit, ot j course. Whoever gets in on the ground floor bi breeding those lit-i tie animals will comtnand a pretty fortune. ' » “And here's something for your i father,” she had continued. And she tbld ot the tiree colonies ot-' people located tn South America where the inhabitants were living fetnctiy according tOjjthje Sermon on the Mount. They had fled Europe. had settled first ini England, and tJ>ien« because they were of Germap origin and therefore suspect wheh the war carne, they had beeh forced tb leave England, too. ■‘But a few remained behind to clean up so hie ot he/business details connected with their group,” shfe had- added, "and now they have built up a follow ahg. pl believe there are several like settlements in the United States, too.? She paused, squihting at ner work critically. “Interesting, isn’t ft? l| know your father believes m a re- , surgence of religion. Perhaps these . small scattered beginnings are an indication that he is right.” “Father says our spiritual heritage is one of hope. It’s certainly his." . m ’ 1 "Yes," Virginia replied, he’s an idealist with his feet on the ground. He . sees clearly how things are. but he is forever bptimistic. It’s awfully good for ponald. 1 can’t be thankful enough we chanced to settle here next to you. in the war, you know. He was severely wounded in the leg and was hospitalized tor an , endless time here tn this country. 1 went down to see him a great deal, and I don’t mind* telling you that my first visit gave* me) a shock. Not' at his wounb. ] was bad enough — that’s wjHht makes him limp—but at the chjange that had taken place tn him.? She fell silent. p.Anne waited. Presently deep musical voice was heard again. “He went away just an average, unthinking; tempestuous you t n fresh out of college.; He came back a cynical, bitter,’ and despairing man 'feeling that life was utterly futile. His attitude slowed his recovery, of course. Actually, it threatened it. Especially after he was released and came home I l was alarmed, but there ws aoth-

nations, toward financial sonnd!teess. Its assistance was of crucial importance to Great Britain. ' ' £ What might have happened in Europe over the past four years but Tor the Marshall Plan can only be? speculated, and it can only be guessed how much more the pre* gram might have accomplished if its work had not been interrupted to make way for military preparations. Posted Prices:— h The Office of Price Stabilization has scheduled a test of community wide maximum price;lists for food. Posting of fixed top prices will be tried Widely separated cities; presumably if the scheme seems to work satisfactorily it . will be applied throughout the nation. 1 The idea is to give grocers a fixed list of maximum prices, so I ' . --S'- .i ■ that buyers can compare actual with the )egal limits. it < will not be easy even with a list ' ■ ■ ’ '.L of fixed prices. To compare the! price of a can of peas with'the : listed price it will first be necesj/sary to know the grade of thejpeas according' to the scale of quality used by the OPS. J ! i . : .'' ' ■ " i ! There will be at least a general guidg, for buyers, however, and some probably will take the trouble to check prices on the shelves against on the Jist. The preparation of the lists will be a sizable undertaking, and it i ■ ' - . - ' ■ nv ■- will be a continuing task to k|ecp the lists accurate a? price conditions fluctuate. Perhaps the job has to be done. But we can’t help wondering whether the nation might eat better if all the manpower and funds which will go into the making of these lists could be used instead to produce |md market food.

ing 1 could do or say to help him. He hpd to get through that period by nimself. He tried L> in silence most of the time, but occasionally he would break out into words and then i would listen.” . j Anne, on the ground below Virginia. nad listened; too. Pretending she wasn’t. “He telt that everything was so ratten m the world that there was no nope for anything and no use in anything. He telt stymied, i thwarted. With all of his youth and ambition and vigor ’rising in nim more insistently each day and no, outlet Cor any of them. The whole I system ot living was in the wrong pattern, ne isaid, and hardly a soul knew or cared. 'Who nab learned anything trpm the war?’ That was his favorite question. ’Except,, he would answer, ‘how to fight another one more horribly?’ And then tie would say, ‘What can you do? How cui you change things? Everything's fixed and people are too stupid—’ ” i Virginia had turned her sharp gray eyes on Anne reflectively. “1 finally pointed out that nothing is fixed. That never before has everything been in such a state ot flux as now.) 1 didn’t tell nun what to do. He had to make his own discovery, after a whiled he did. People could be taught. Hadn't j Hitler taught the Germans? fladn’t I Stalin taught the Russians ? Let i America teach the Americans, i then! Yes, he saw, finally, that tn education lay hope. 1 could see him revolving this thought in relation to his own planless existence. Presently he reached his decision.” « I *• ' “You sec,” Virginia explained, “he had, at last, something to believe in. Something to do and work for that was bigger than he was. Something that was true and would go on being true. Best of all, something that looked Like a way out of the darkness. If he could help educate young people, help them to think)— ” r There was a silence. Anne’s voice, a little muffled, had asked a question. { * “So he took his G.l. money and went to Columbia and got an M. A.?" “Yes. And now he’s here. And we’re here. And ;Bverybody's happy*" “But I’m not,” Anne said now to her reflection in the mirror as site put on her tiny red hat with the flying veil that matched her red linen suit. “It’s stodgy. And I hate |t for him. I hate it!” She went down tb the south veranda and sank into one of the wicker chairs. It was still early. The bells were still peaking. She wcuii go in a minute. iToJfe CcattnueQ ■, »J-J.
