this year will be the largest in the history of the big event. All proceeds from the public party Will go to the state Cancer fund. Tickets are selling for f 1.00 aud the program committee states that those attending will get plenty of entertainment for their dollar. 0 Reports are that in the next year or two passenger automobiles will be placed on air springs. Each wheel will have one of the unbreakable springs, guaranteed for the life of the car. The air holder over each wheel will be encased in metal and set on rubber. The air container will serve as a cushion against all types of bumps so that the shock will never reach the passengers. Setting the air container, Which serves as the shock absorber, on rubber means fewer squeaks and rattles. The rubber spring will never need lubrication. Tests, equivalent to ten years of service, produce no wear at all on the spring-absorber. Another interesting fact is that with air springs, the vehicle will remain at the sa&ie level, empty or loaded and th_ere will be no dangerous swerve when a vehicle ie forced to make a sharp turn. Firestone Rubber -Co. is developing the ne walr spring. 0 oPresident Elsenhower, recovering from a heart attack, has announced that he will seek a second term. This means the President must face the fact that every headache, every little pain will be watched by bis opponents and there will be much ado over it. This also means if the Republican party has any desire to be fair to the nattWT fair to the world, the leaders will see to it that a man capable of being President also will be nominated as Vice-Presi-dent If the Republicans fail to do this, the American people will never swallow the pill. And along with fighting a battle for his health, the President aldo will have other campaign odds, such as dissatisfied labor; dissatisfied farmers; just about everybody but a few big corporations disappcrinted and -dtsiHnsioned. That seems to be quite a barrier tor even a man in good health. Our guess is that the American people won’t accept the second term offer.

S. now is the regional which will be held in Fort Wayne next Saturday. Monmouth is the only county team which has ever played in the regional in the Coliseum, and all the fans are really looking forward to the event.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN WHEN Morgan Channing and her btond companion came int. the Wupper room. fcora’S interest quickened as if she were attending a play. Wade, Who was (beside her, could not escape these two now, and she wondered what the unpredictable Morgan would do if she came face to face with him. "The encounter followed almost st oace. Wade had not seen the two step into line behind him. Reaching toward a bowl of potato nlati, he jostled Murray Norwood’s arm and turned at once in apology. The flare of color to his face when he saw Morgan so near at hand sms more than Lora had expected. She watched him, startled now, for tfee first time putting some belief in the things hfa motiuSr had said. Morgan spoke before Wade had completed his apology to Mr. Norwood. Her manner was easy as that of a lady Who meets an old friend whom she has seen no longer ago than yesterday, but Lora found the look she turned upon WMe less casual. "Good-evening, Wade. May I present Mr. Norwood ? I think you and he may have a number of interests fit common.” Wade set down his plate and took the other man's hand. He looked as if he wanted to ignore Morgan, but could not do so without being conspicuous. He spoke to her restrained!?, managing an exchange of pleasantries with Norwood before they started on about the table. Morgan had veiled the quick intensity of her first look and now seemed a little contemptuous and amused. This belied Mother Tyferfi belief that she still wanted Wade, Lora thought Surely a woman could not love a man and look at him so scornfully. At ‘least she—Lora—could not In the dark early hours of thte morning, when they drove home tiwmith teWmg smy*\ they h«di Mtne tn wy. TMwtwrfy Wtott w»3 loot in memories of his own and

PLEASANT MILLS HIGH By Norma Jean Bailey

Get set for al full e v e n i n g| of rafter-raisingl fun, for that's! just what you] will get if you! attend the jun-| jor ' class play,| “A Boy Named! Beulah." Here isl a brand new! farce chockful]

of chuckles and convulsive complications. “Corky” Corcoran, whose given name is really Bewley, allows his fabulously rich old aunt, Lady Castleton dn England, to believe that he is' really a girl named “Beulah" after her, so she’ll make him her heir. Tryouts for the play were held Monday and the cast will be announced later. — P. M. H. S. — Tourney is over and everything has settled back down to a low roar here at Pleasant Mills. Track season will soon start though and athletics will reign king once again. — P. M. H. S. — Everyone was well pleased with, the Spartans in the Wednesday afternoon game and we only wish they couM have gone all the way Saturday, too. — P. M. ft. S. — Hats off to the people of Adams Central for the fine tourney they were host to. The Adams Central twirlers, the students who sold concessions, the faculty of Adams Central, the Greyhound Gazette staff, the drummers from various schools and the cheerleaders, combined with the nine teams, faculties, and student bodies ofall nine 1 schools made this tourney what it reallv was —a success! — P. M. H. S. — The regular monthly meeting of the Pleasant Mills P. T. A. was held Tuesday night at the school house. Mrs. Robert Meshberger,

wanted no breaking through on I her part. i Lora went up to her room and ■ lighted a candle. There, Where she ; had left it in the middle of the floor the garnet-hued gown burned , like a dark flame. She picked it tip . and hung it away in the wardrobe ■ sadly. The green dress she carried back to Virginia’? room to replace in the wardrobe there. In the light from the candle she carried she saw with a start that , Wade lay across the bed. When he . heard her he sat up. “I must ask you not to come in '= here again,” he said, And his tone I was colder than she had ever heard it. She did not speak to him at all. . She drew her robe close about her and hung the green gown away as ' quickly as she could. She did not 1 look at him again as she turned and went out of the room, her ’ shadow swaying up the wall as 1 she moved. There was nothing in her now of pity or gentleness. She 1 felt only a despairing Impatience 1 for the man on the bed, and she did not in the least care whether I or not he knew it. i In spite of her few hours of sleep, Lora awoke while it wai still dark on Christmas morning. For I a few moments she lay quiet and i warm beneath her quilts, feeling i the weight ot unhappiness pressing her down. She could not recall > in the fog of sleep why she must feel unhappy, but knew only that despair lay waiting to engulf her : as soon as she could remember. i Then recollection of the party : and the ending last night swept back. But now she put the memory I aside. Today was Jemmy’s day I and neither she nor Wade matter- ■ ed. Lora dressed and gathered "tip i her packages and stole softly . downstairs through the still, cold house. It wouldn’t hurt to start a : fire, even though it was early. She : set her parcels down and knelt I before the hearth in the parlor. ; Th* fctrtflfflE n-tpnmtr'i with a II lively snapping and when ah? was

of Berne, was the guest speaker. Special music was provided by the music department. — P. M. H. S. — Pleasant Mills is host to another tourney—the junior high tourney. The first session scheduled for Monday night was postponed to Tuesday night because of the storm. — P. M. H. S. — Graduation is drawing nearer and nearer. The senior class president Larry Myers, has appointed a committee of five members to decide on decorations and flowers. — P. M. H. S. — If anyone went past the school last week ana ' saw a group of freshman pupils running around the school house, they weren’t going through a second initiation . . . the freshman biology class is studying respiration and they were taking each other’s pulse before and after taking such a run. They found from their experiment that there was a great difference in the rate! — P. M. H. S. — Grade cards were issued last week and the honor roll was announced. There were a lot of disappointed people and even a few surprised ones among the Hat. — P. M. H. S. — Starting next week' the junior and senior girls who are enrolled in home economics will be studying advanced foods. The training they will receive will probably make better housewives and mothers of each of these girls later on in life. ' • ' . ' — P. M. H. S. — Here’s hoping that everyone, especraHy *the girls, enjoyed Wednesday — there won’t be another day like this for four years so everyone should have taken advantage’ of it. — P. M. H. S. —t The members of the junior -ela&s almost have the itinerary sheets worn out. They probably know the

sure the blaze had eaught fire she •returned to distributing packages beneath the tree. —Before long she heard a Breaking on the stairs and a moment later the door opened a crack and Jemmy lodked in uncertainly. "Come in by the Are and get warm,” said Lora cheerfully, as though he had never stormed at her last night because of the green dress. Relieved, he sidled into the room in his nightshirt, his own arms filled' with tissue-wrapped packages, i -Over one arm hung a long red and white striped stocking. He distributed the parcels beneath the tree and then turned to her doubtfully. "I didn’t know if I was supposed ; to hang up a stocking. Os course, 1 don’t. believe in all that chiml ney stuff, but I thought — “Os course you’re supposed to,” ; Lora said, “But it should have been i hung up on Christmas eve.. Don’t ■ make such a mistake next year. ■ Now you’ll have to scoot back to ■ bed while somebody fills it. It'a ■ much too early to be up for good anyway.” When she heard the stairs rt-eak . again she busied herself stuffing ■ his stocking. The little paperl weight With its snow scene went : into the toe and on top of It went an orange with a green ribbon I tied about its plump sides. Next a . loose handful of nuts and a small : packet of sweets, a little calendar ■ with a bright angel pictured on it, and right at the top, hooked over • the stocking edge, the wishbone ; she had saved, graced with a big red bow. ■ By the time she was done the | unhappy weight which she had i awakened had lifted a little and • she hummed to herself as. she I stood back to examine the effect i of her work. The packages looked i gay and inviting, and by spreading . them out to the best effect she . had accomplished an illusion of i plenty. (To Be Conlmvcd) ,
