We wonder how many people noticed that a team of colored boys won the South Carolina Little League title because of the ■withdrawal of the other fifty-five teams—all white —from the tournament. It’s a safe bet that none of the boys had anything to do with the withdrawals. Boys don't care if their opponents are colored just so long as they get to play baseball. The good people of South Carolina can certainly be proud of their part in furthering the ideals of fair play and sportsmanship in our great national sport. Os course fair-play and sportsmanship don’t mean a thing—after all. we have our pride to consider. While the “good old days” of the Erie Canal and such famous waterways with their horse-drawn barges are gone, it’s still surprising the amount of products transported by river-barge in this day of the airplane, train and truck. The barges of course lack the speed for transporting any perishable or rush goods, but large amounts of coal, ore and raw materials of the like are still moved by water. Also, the cheapness of water freight makes up for the time involved. The inland waterway system in the United States is indeed a marvel. A ship in the future will be able to come down the St. Lawrence, stopping at several large towns such as Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit and then Chicago. From there, smaller boats can take the cargo down the Illinois River to the Mississippi and from St. Louis the goods can be shipped out in any direction. North back up the Mississippi, northyept .up the muddy MiasoorL Bast up the Ohio to Louisville, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, or on down river to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. The old days of river transportation are about gone, but it still gives one a thrill to stand on the shore of the Ohio River at Madison, Indiana, and watch the great strings of barges glide slowly along. It will be a long time before these days are gone forever because of the cheapness of and the huge volumes they can handle.

Would it be all right for a hostess to cancel *n evening of bridge if «he finds out an hour or so beforehand that one of her guests cannot come? A. No. this would be inconsiderate of the other guests who have already made arrangements to attend. She should try her beet to find ,a substitute, and if she fails In this, suggest a game of hearts, poker, canasta, or some other entertainment. Q. Would it be all right to write a note of condolence to the parents of a friend who has died, even when one doea not know the parents. A. This most certainly .would be a thoughtful act on your part. Q. Even if the wedding is to be a very small, informal one, would it be all right for the bride to wear a white bridal veil? A. Yes, provided it is not her second marriage. 0 Household Scrapbook |.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO TIM hadn’t known it was possible to hate a man as he hated Rob Mallory. Shooting was a quick, clean death. A merciful death, that wasn’t payment enough tor Joe and Molly. Rob would die, but not before he d Known what it was to suffer. There was only one way a man like that could suffer—through his pride, pride in power founded on possession. Broken Spur — that arrogant one-man kingdom sprawled across the country like a blight on the hopes of nonest men—Broken Spur was Rob Mallory. Well, then, smash diem both. He’d have to get the jther nesters together behind him —that shouldn’t be too hard. They All nated Mallory. It seemed to Tim that there could be no more peace for him as long as he and Rob Mallory walked the same earth. ft ♦ .ft "Y'know, Kerry, 1 hate to be the one to bring up unpleasant subjects, but it’s time we was thinkin’ about findin' ourselves a couple o’ jobs.” Kerry nodded. They were sitting at a table in a saloon in a town some hundred miles from Sundown. and the act of paying for their drinks had called their attention to the state of their pockets. They’d been drifting out of Doage for a month now. and it had been fun; you couldri’t ask for better company to ride the trail witn than Rusty. •'Too bad." Rusty sighed philosophically. "Seems like this world’s plumb organized against folks like you an’ me just enjoyin' theirselves.

A-Fallout Traced By Weather Bureau Tough Assignment For Weathermen NEW YORK (INS) — The nuclear age has given the weathermen a tough new assignment; To predict the fallout pattern should an atomic or hydrogen bomb be dropped at any time on U». S. cities. This is now being done through a little-publicized government project called “Rawin. ’’ Some terrible day, it may save many lives. Rawin is the weather bureau's code name for its method of detecting and charting wind currents above the clouds, from 5,000 to 80,000 feet. Basically, this Is accomplished by sending pilot balloons into the stratosphere. The data they gather is flashed back" to earth through the magic of electronica. Key Locations By knowing which way the wind is blowing — and how fast — it is possible to predict the distance a radioactive particle would travel in three hours apd- the direction in which it would finally reach the ground. Since June 1. this information has been collected twicea-dayr-at-Jll a.m„ and 11 p.m. (EDT) at 34

I—l’d rather not run into ta.yovdy I used to know. It’s a long story —” Looking into his friend's lean, humorous face, Kerry suddenly felt it would be a relief co spill it all out. There wouldn’t be any condemnation in Rusty, and maybe telling him would relieve some of the unrest and confusion of,jnind that had been building up in him as he drew closer to Broken Spur. Before he could go on, a cowboy with a glass in his hand was standing by their table. “S'cuse me, friend, ain’t I seen you somewhere before?” Kerry recognized him as a man who’d worked briefly for Slash T a couple of years before. “Could be.” “Nice . t’sec you ’gain.” It had clearly not been his first drink. He was in the mellow, friendly stage. “Mind J f I sit doWn? Thanks. J sure hate t’drink alone.” He raised a hand toward the- bartender, “Coupla Hijinks tor . my friends!" and promptly launched into a long, rambling and profanely cheerful account of a trip to Mexicq. Kerry’s » attention • had drifted away, when it was jerked back by the sound of the name ■‘Slash T." • 3 * “Used t’work there,” the stranger was saying, 'Jan’ I figured t'ride by there an' see if I could get my old job back. But when I see the way things was buijdtff up 'round here, 1 says, not for me. I can take my share o’ trouble if it comes along, but I ain’t hankerin’ t’set right down in the middle of a hornet’s nest, an’ that country sure feels like a mighty good imitation o’ one, ever since Rob Mallory shot that neater." “Kerry's movement sent his, glass spinning off the table; he never noticed it. “What neater? What you talkin’ about?” “Well.” the cowboy smiled apolp; getically, “some folks says he. shot him. Course, some says different. Me. I’m not sayin’—l was just ridin’ through, y'undcrstand ?’’ Kerry's hands gripped the tablcedge. “ WIIF you tell me what this is all about?” "Why. sure.” It took time to extract the story from the man’s rani blings, but ffinally it was clear enough. “Rob never did it.” Kerry said flatly. “I ain't sayin’ he did, friend —” "He’s been called a lot of Uungs. —but ins enemy never called

key locations throughout the U.S. These include what are considered to be the most likely targets for enemy bombers. . > The data, in code form, is relayed by teletype to weather bureau field offices throughout the nation and is furnished to civil defense authorities. Thus.'liT'the event of a real attack; they would know what areas would be contaminated by fallout and which ones could be used as evacuation sites. Intensity Not Indicated What Rawin does not do, of course, is forecast the intensity of the radioactivity. That would depend on the king of bomb actually exploded. But it does predict the fallout pattern depending on where the blast occurs. Wind currents are not the same at all altitudes, so Rawin traces the hypothetical course of any atomic particle at seven different levels. When the weather bureau started its Raw in project, it did so without fanfare. Officials preferred not to alarm Americans by giving them the impression that their government considers the fallout 'problem so 'immecllate. But. immediate or not, the problem is a real one. Raw'in is on the job to make it just a little less frightening. Toledo — Abuot 125 different production steps are involved in making a wooden lead pencil.

him a coward. If he was going U shoot a man, it wouldn’t be in th* back!” Rusty inquired, “He a friend o' yours, Kerry?" “Sort of,” Kerry agreed slowly. He pushed back from the table. “I’m going back to the hotel, Rusty.” Rusty made a half-move out of his chair, then dropped back, saying softly, “Sure Kerry. I’ll be along later.” When Rusty entered the dingy hotel room, a couple of hours after, the air was blue and stale with the smoke of cigarets, and Kerry was sitting on the edge of the bed, with the drawn look of a man who has been through a long, tough fight—and perhaps he had —but with a look of peace in his blue eyes that hadn’t been there in a long time. “Rusty,” he began without preliminaries, “you’ve been a swell partner, but I guess this is where the trail splits.” “How come, Kerry?” “I'm going back to Broken Spur.” “Well, sure, if your friends in trouble. Don’t you reckon he could use an extra hand “You don’t understand, Rusty. I know the set-up there. I’his Tim Larrabee's a crazy nothcau, and he’ll have all the other nesters on the prod—l’ve got to go back,’’ Kerry added wearily. “Rob raised me from a pup. He took me in when I didn’t have any place to go —there's some things you just can’t ride away from. But it’s not your fight. There’s no reason why you should buy into our troubles Rusty shrugged. “You know me an’ trouble. Kerry. All these years I been txyin' to stay away from it. it never got me nowhere. It mostly ain't my fight.” he concluded resignedly. “But 1 generally wind up in the middle of it. anyway. Might be kind of an inteer/stin’ change to start cut in the middle.” -— Kerry turned away and busied himself with stuffing a few belongings into his warbag. He didn’t trust himself to speak just then—and he didn't want Rusty to sec his eyes. There was a wetness in them that didn’t belong in the eyes of a man who'd just that day come of age.
