To keep the sale of new automobiles abreast of a year ago, dealers are offering many attractive models at reduced prices and with credit almost any reasonable way the buyer wishes to pay. It’s easy to drive a new auto- r , mobile now days. 0 • Sports writers .are sharpening their pencils now and for the next several days we’ll have all sorts of predictions on the outcome of the sectional basketball tourneys. It’s almost aa much fun to try to pick the winners a* it is to see the games. The national pastime, baseban, will sneak into the sports picture, even before basketball seasons are completed. Major league managers are busy now setting up spring training camps and in another ten days the players will start their daily workouts, prior to the start of regular season schedules.

Indications are there will be a full scale investigation of lobbying activities tn the — late of the United States. The present upper chamber of our National Congress is under fire specifically because of the way some of the members accepted money and favors Just prior to their passage of the natural gas bill. The probe will be more far-reaching than the investigating of the one activity. If the probe is an honest effort to search out the guilty Senators, so the good members can proceed with the ma,ny problems confronting our nation, it will be well worth the cost and labor. -—o—o It is generally conceded that there will be some type of a federal road improvement law enacted by the present Congress. Whether it is economic or expedient for federally supervised construction or whether each state should construct its own highways always will be argued. It appears to bo certain that whoever supervises construction, the user is the one who is going to pay. Perhaps that is the way it should be. The fairest method yet brought forward appears to be the system of taxing each vehicle In accordance with weight Os course we wouldn't have our present highways if it were not for the trucking industry and truckers have paid a big share of maintenance of the roads. Truckers want it that way, because they recognise that me:r survival depends on good Highways. Lobbyists, both for and against the highway bill are showing up in Washington. Certainly our national by the people to represent the people, will in mind that these h(e chosen, by a 7; certain iirWcMt. toWpres«M*only the welfare of that particular interest In the light of present events it seepis to be harder every day for Mr. “John Q.

SYNOPSIS Newly married bora accompanies her husband, Wade Tyler, to his family &ome on Staten Island after nursing Un back to health tram a serious wound he received while fighting as a •Union soldier. She meets Wade s autocratic mother, Amanda Tyler, and Jemmy. son ot Wade and his dead first wife. Virginia Amid the growing tension between Wade's mother and Lora, the bride learns that Virginia died by drowning in a pond near the Tyler home. Lora finds Wade mourning for Virginia and asks him to tell her what she was Ilka After learning more- of Wade's earlier life. Lora promises Jemmy a surprise for Christmas. The surprise is a puppy despite the opposition of Wade's mother to having pets in the house. Lora makes the acquaintance of Mrs. Morgan Channing and begins to learn of the relationship ' between her and the Tylers. CHAPTER TEN * LORA could find no words when Mrs. Channing revealed that her "gardener" was her father. She made an effort to recover from her surprise and moved again toward the door. But Mrs. Channing turned back. "Wait a moment!" she cried, and went ’wiftly toward the end wall of the drawing room where the portrait hung, her black skirts rustling over her wide hoop. A long green cord with a tassel on the end hung down along one side ot the picture. Mrs. Channing reached for it and as’she pulled, the velvet draperies parted to reveal the entire portrait The artist had painted a second woman who sat in a low chair, looking up at the figure in yellow. The second girl wore pale green and she was young and pretty, but with none of the arresting quality of Morgan Channing. "My Sister,” Mrs. Channing said. "Virginia’* Lora was too startled to speak. This was Wade's wife; the woman who had come first in tus life, the woman he wanted her to resemble. She Stared tn fascination at the sweet, young face of the girl in pale green. Virginia had light hair with a golden touch to the ringlets about her face. She held an embroidery hoop in her small hands with the needle poised above it, as if she had just paused to look up at her sister. “I was never very fond of her,” Mrs. Channing said carelessly. "She was a silly, rather insipid little thing. I never understood what Wade saw in her.” The challenging gaze shifted suddenly from the portrait and fixed Lora candidly. “You are nothing at all like Virginia How did Wade come to get over his great love ?” The suddenness of the question shocked an equally candid answer from Lora. “He wants to think I am like her," she admitted. Mrs. Channing’s unrestrained laugh rang out again. "This may be amusing to watch! Considering your behavior over this puppy. Wade could be in for a jolt one ot these days.” "Not if I can help it," said Lora stiffly. Suddenly she wanted to get away from this woman and this room. But Mrs. Channing would rtt release her so easily. She

walked to the door with Lora and opened it h “We art-going to be friends," she said confidently. “I have offended you now. But you’ll forgive me in time. You will forgive because you are as direct as I am. Come see me again when that mausoleum becomes too much for you." • • • "Wade—Serena Lord is giving a party on Christmas even and we are invited. It’s to be a dance and late supper." She held the note out to him. He shook his head. “Naturally, we cannot go." “But why not?” sh* asked tn surprise. A party and dance at Serena’s sounded exciting and lively. A sudden desire for gaiety surged up in her. “After all,” Wade said, “there is a period of mourning to be. observed for your father. And I have not felt like indulging in frivolity myself for a long while.” "Papa didn’t believe in mourning,” Lora told him quickly. "He never wanted me to wear black or go around with a long face.” She went to him, put light hands on his arm, gently pleading. His eyes softened and he bent to press his cheek against hers. “You are a wheedling one,” he said. “But you have forgotten that I cannot dance, thanks to my leg.” "I won’t 4ance either," she promteed. “I’ll sit beside you and we'U watch all the bright things that are happening, together. It will be wonderful just to dress up and—’’ “Dress up?" he repeated. "But, my dear, you have no gown that would be suitable to wear. Christmas eve is almost upon us and I understand a seamstress cannot be had at this time.” — For just a moment her hopes fell.. Then she lifted her chin in a gesture of determination. “I have the material now—that lovely garnet satin which is intended for a party gown. I can. make the dress myself. I know just the style I would like. Please let me, Wade." Lora could not wait to be off to her own room, where she could spread out the rich material on her bed, loving the shine, the feel, the very smell of it There was something 'heady about the scent of new material. She would make herself the most beautiful gown she had ever possessed. She would be a credit to Wade at the party, and that would please him, be good for them both. At dinner Wade mentioned the party casually and Mrs. Tyler expressed some disapproval, but not opposition. Plainly she did not like the idea that Lora meant to make the gown herself, but she was surprisingly moderate tn her remarks. But later she hailed Lora to her room and said, “You are still an outsider tn this house. A stranger. You have not even begun to integrate yourself with our manner of life. It even seems to me that you are a stranger to my non. I do not

British Kids Form Own Safety Group LONDON (INS) — British youngsters are becoming increasingly safety conscious. Ramsgate school children are expected to set up their own road safety committee. The local road safety committee is considering a suggestion that a junior commit,tee be formed. Meanwhile a report ot the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said the outstanding feature of the 1954 road casualty figures was a striking reduction in fatal and serious accidents to chilSaid the report: “The total of 662 child deaths established a new low record and was 124 fewer than ' in the previous year of 1952. This provides strong evidence for the efficacy of child safety work throughout the country."

know what reason drove you into marriage with him, but I think it was not love." t -y Lora sat very still. She had not expected—thia perceptive turn of mind in Wade's mother. But she had no secret to conceal. Wade knew about Martin. In the moments when tie was completely honest be Knew this had been a marriage ot two lonely people who needed something to cling to. But it was impossible to explain this to Wade’s mother. Mrs. Tyler continued, her tone steady and cold, "I will now tell you a certain truth you should know before you make friends with the woman who lives in that monstrous house up the hill. From the time Morgan Ambrose grew into adolescence everyone knew that she had set her cap shamelessly for Wade. It was quite plain that she meant to have him at all costa If 1 had not . . . prevented itr. . he might well have married hdb,” Bomehow this "truth” which Mrs. Tyler seemed to think so important did not particularly shock or* disturb Lora. After all, with Wade’s charm, why shouldn't a giM like Morgan have been attracted to him? But that was all so long ago. Why should it ifiatter ndw, or be considered a reason for carrying on a feud? She went on to a point which interested her more. “Did you object to his marrying Virginia?" 'There was a suddenly bleak note in Mrs. Tyler’s voice, but a little to Lora’s surprise she answered the question and with a ring of honesty. *T did not see that coming,” she confessed. "The danger from Morgan seemed so much more bnmlnet that 1 did not expect such a rebound.” “But since Virginia was the sort totmake Wade a good wife, why should you have minded?” Mrs. Tyler sat a notch more proudly in her chair. "It was hardly fitting for Jason Cowie’s grandson to marry a servant girt The shock tor me was very great" Lora felt a flash of pity for the girl Virginia. She was beginning to feel that she knew Virginia rather well. "At least her marriage could not have been as bad for you as if he had brought Morgan here," Lora said drily. The old lady made . a gesture of repudiation and the gems in her rings sparkled fiercely in the firelight T saw to it that he would not bring her here.” “But this is all so much water under a long-ago bridge. None ot it matters now.” “You think it does not matter that Morgan has never ta-her life given up the pursuit of something she wanted?” “I don’t believe she wants Wade,” Lora said stoutly,, “It seemed to me that she does not i even like him very well.” (To Be Continued}

The People’s Voice This column ia for th* nao of our readers who wish to «make suggestions for the general good,, or discuss questions of intelew No articles will he I published without signature of the author. ■» o a Wilderness of Confusion Individuals who are afraid of taking « position and are afraid to defend a position because of a fear of pressure group Criticism, show a marked degree of cowardice. Recently, I heard a very highly educated business man make this statement: * “I know a great many issues that are being sponsored locally and nationally to be wrong and against the best interest of the people, but I am afraid to discuss these issues because of a fear of being criticised” He further states: "Don’t you know at the present time that you here to either go with the crowd or you have to go alone?” Any Individual who would rather go with the crowd, when be knows the crowd is wrong, instead of going alone when he knows that he is. right, such an individual lacks the fine qualities that make him a good citisen. Pressure group politics are in my opinion a treat to the liberties of a free people unless we can prevent voters from being stampeded by coercion and fear, from swinging too far out in this and adverse directions because of vain, unscrupulous and non-woikable solutions to our present national problems, we are headed towards and travelling too fast to a place where a rebound will be made impossible • The only solution to stop regimentation lies in the field of education backed up by the physical assets of a strong backbone. However, education without a backbone is as helpless in our present crisis, as a star athlete with lumbago, competing in the Olympic games. And backbone without an education makes it impossible for an individual to measure up to the requirements of this highly technical modern age- On the one side we have ignorance and on the other intellect, subversive to any political program that promises an easy life without a struggle. Take the struggle out of life and yon will dwarf the resistance of individuals to a point where they will be submissive to any political promise that will give them something for nothing- You will break down the sound basic fundamental principles upon which this great cation was built. t- Without a struggle for an existjMA *nd an education, a backwoods bey who first egw the lighr«r day in a primitive log cabin would nevt’ er have reached the presidential chair and the immortal fame of the whole world. Without a vision and a struggle, our founding forefathers would never have been able to conquer the ravages of a virgin wilderness and bring forth the greatest nation in the world. In a degree of comparison, let’s not forget that each generation has its problems and burdens to bear and progress always charters a course which leaves each generation pioneers on the frontier of the border of time. With courage and determination our sturdy forefathers faced and conquered the
