Joan Rjstar, Bride OolueA'

• _■ SYNOPSIS I.ike any young couple ardently in Jove. Joan Foster and Todd Hunter are eager to wed. But Todd has not yet si: trsras Joan earns by writing, te not enough to maintain a home. Todd had fought gallantly to ac q ulr e- the education • ' which qualified him to teach German, but there seemed to be no call for teachers of the German language now. Arriving at the Foster home for dinner. Todd promises to reveal some exciting news to Joan later, when they are alone. His news proves disappointing. He can get a Job teaching fourthgraders in a near-by private school, a mark far short of his hopes and dreams. But this meager beginning, will enable them to wed. and so they yroceed to make plans for a lovely une wedding. CHAPTER SIX THEN suddenly, in the midst of going over her wedding plans, Joan’s mind took her past the wedding day. "Todd! Where will we live? At the school?" He shook his head. “It’s not a boarding school. At least, it’s not a big one. Gilly said there wouldn’t be any accommodations for us. I'll have to commute. But it’ll be easy. I’ll take the bus across the George Washington bridge and on the other side I’ll meet one of the school busses. They run two which pick up the little boys from all over the city every day. I’ll come back the same way. This place is only up the river a few miles, you see." "Then— We’ll live here ? In Mapleton? Oh, I like that! But—where? You know I’ve hunted apartments for the past two months just in case we had some luck. And there aren’t any we can afford. There aren’t any vacant, anyway. And as for single rooms 1— I looked at some today, Todd, Wand they're awful.” He nodded. "Well—” he said ■lowly. "How about this, then ? How about living at the manse T* "With year folks 7*’ She tried uot to let her voice reveal her unwilling reception of this suggestion, but he sensed it. "Not with them, exactly," he explained. "We wouldn’t have to do that because the house is huge, you know. I think we could have those rooms upstairs in the back that Mother shut off just because she doesn’t have strength to take care ot them. There’s not a thing in them, anyway, except a lot of boxes and barrels and junk. Do you remember playing hide-and-seek over th are when we were kids? There arc three rooms-— they were once a make-shift apartment—up over the kitchen and laundry. They’d be quite private—quite abut off from the rest of the house. And there’s a bath there, too.” Cowright. 1952. by

vating almost as many headaches as It is relieving. ' (Raw aspirin manufactured in Moscow must be sent 7,000 miles to the east of Khabarovsk, north of Vladivostok, for pressing into tablets, then sent back again for distribution. The central government newspaper of the Soviet Union, “Izvestia" notes this extraordinary situation in a sharply critical look at the nation’s drug-supply Industry. An Izvestia survey ot 120 Moscow drug stores reveals “thousands of customers’’ are being turned away daily because druggists just don’t have supplies to fill their orders. The paper found items like heart ailment and asthma medicines, penicillin and other antibiotics, -and vitamin pills In critically short supply. ...-.J : . And there has been a complete breakdown in the system under which pharmacists are required to fill ordinary prescriptions within two hours and “urgent’’ prescriptions immediately. To quote Izvestia;. “A minimum of six lbeight hours Is required—and sometimes a whole 24 hours. One has to wait 24 hours for medicine for a person who is seriously ill." The newspaper concludes: “The supply of medicines and medical preparations need a lot of improvement Not all of the problems are simple, but present conditions are intolerable. The first steps in solving this problem must be taken at once by the Ministry of Public Health in the USSR."

"Is there? Td forgotten.” "It’s old-fashioned. The tub is a high one up on legs, but that wouldn’t matter.” "No." • -- ■- ■ • w" - '' "And we could use the side entrance to the downstairs hall and the back hall stairs coming up from the kitchen. We wouldn’t ‘ have to go through the house. That ' way we could come and go as we pleased."- — "You’ve really thought about this, haven’t you?” she said slowly. “For quite some time." "You never mentioned it" "No. I—well, it’s not ideal.” He hesitated. “You’d have to get used to Mother, for one thing. She’s very different from your mother.” She nodded. “But when you said tonight that you’d live anywhere—Besides, it'a like the job. What choice have , we?" She cocked a rueful eyebrow. “None,” she agreed. "So what do you say, Jo-Jo?" She could not explain her hesitancy. She jast felt it was not wise to live too blose to her in-laws. As if he did not realize that she had made no reply, he went on. "1 haven’t said a word yet to Mother and Dad. I wanted to get your reaction first I know they’d love it, though. They’re so happy that you’re the one. And of course they’d liko me to stay on with them as long as Dad preaches here." He paused. “1 sort of feel as if I ought to, too. The furnace —lt's an old coal job, you know. It’s really too much for Dad to take care of any more. The janitor ought to do it, but he won’t without more pay. And the church can’t afford that So—” He waited. Duty rearing its ugly head. The obligations of the young to the old. You expected that sort of thing when you were—oh, middle-aged—-accepted it willingly and graciously. Sooner or later, Joan realized, Todd and she would have to consider their parents, as her mother was now having to take care of Gram. But if only they could start free! If only, for a few years, they need think of no one but themselves! If they lived at the manse — She knew how it would be there. The picture she had been trying not to see came vividly to her now. Mrs. .Hunter was quite crippled with arthritis, so Joan would feel she ought to run to answer the telephone and the doorbell all the time. And take her mother-in-law shopping every time she went to do hers. And drive her to meetings Alice Ross Colver. Distributed by Kins

Mysterious Virus Sought By State 15 Infants Killed Over Three Months TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (INS)—A search for the-«n*een was waged in Terre Haute today as state health officials probed for the mysterious virus which has caused 15 infant deaths in the last three months. > Dr. John Sullivan, Terre Haute communicable disease division head, said the St. Anthony hospital nursery had been closed because of the virus but termed public resentment toward the hospital "unfounded- hysteria.” Sullivan said 12 of the 15 victims were newborn babies who contracted a polio-type virus after being discharged from the hospital. He added that most of the babies were delivered prematurely or weighed less than average. He also said .no new cases of the diarrhea producing virus have been reported recently and the outbreak apparently has been brought under control. Democrat Want Adz Bring Results

and help her entertain and— Well, it just wouldn’t be her own life. It wouldn’t be of her pattern or of her choosing. It would be a life fitted into and around the life of the°manse. And what would happen to her own plans? To the uninterrupted hours she needed if she was to continue her writing ? She was just finishing her second book—the one she had had to lay aside when Todd was so ill in Europe—and she must start her third by fall at the latest. She had to think of that. She was under contract and had to fullfil her part. Os course she liked Todd’s mother and farther, all right. She was really devoted to his father. Mrs. Hunter was a little on the sentimental, fluttering side but she was at heart really sweet. And they would probably be most considerate, but — well — she just wouldn’t be free. All of these thoughts chased through Joan’s head in quick succession. Only how was she to make them clear to Todd without having him think she objected to his parents? Without dashing all his hopes, too? And, indeed, her own as well. "It’s a possibility," she conceded at last. “A pretty good possibility, it seems to me,” Todd said, “because —and in my mind this clinches it —we wouldn’t have to pay any rent," • She looked ,at him in startled surprise. But of course not! The manse was rent-free to his parents. There was, besides, a clause in some church document or other that forbade the resident minister ever to rent rooms. That had been specified years ago by the man who had built the house as a gift. She remembered it from the time when the Hunters had wanted to rent in order to help pay for Todd’s college education and had not been allowed to do so.” * "We could really save money, honey. We’d get ahead like a breeze. That was certainly true. It was a potent argument, and it did. Indeed, clinch it, as Todd said-. Anyway, he was having to compromise on his dream ot a job. Couldn t she compromise on her drcam ot a home? Really, they were lucky to have a place where they could live for free, if she was perfectly honest about it She spoke with sudden firmness. "Todd, I think it’s a swell idea?” He caught her to him and gave her a hard resounding kiss. “You’re tops, Jo-Jo. Just tops," he said briefly. (To Be Continued) ; Features Syndicate. V*
