It's advisable to not plan any picnics for a few weeks! 0 0 The fact that college graduates are being offered unbelievable starting salaries as beginners should be an inducement to all high school graduates to attend colleges and universities.

The hew building will house a modern automobile paint shop for the repainting of automobiles and the repairing of fender and automobile body dents. William Noonan, long time auto paint man will have charge of the new Macklin department. Yost Construction Co. has the building contract. From the Senate bi-partisan investigation into the activities of lobbyists around the nation's top law-making body, come revealing and sometimes almost pathetic disclosures. Several senators have been tagged as recipients of “oil money" and it now has been established that the Eisenhower for President group prior to the 1952 election campaign got some lovely financial boosts from “oilers.” Some of our nation’s big wheels who were in on the “oil take" are the same ones who ara attempting to sponsor legislation 4 to prohibit Unions from making campaign contributions.

CHAPTER TWENTY WHEN LORA asked what she could do to help stop the war, Morgan went on to explain: "We need someone of influence here on the island. Someone who is strongly against the war and who is liked and trusted by other islanders. A man, of course.” She paused, watching Lora. “You mean — Wade?" Lora asked, more puzzled than ever. Morgan returned to her chair and took up her teacup again with a gesture elaborately casual. “Os course. And you are the one who can draw him into this.” “I!” Lora cried. "I am afraid I have little influence with him. Besides, what could Wade do? His mother is very ill just now and he la not well himself. He has taken no part in island life since his return.” “But he did at one time,” Morgan said. "And he will again if it is urged upon him. He had a taste of it the other night. Perhaps you haven’t seen enough of that side of your husband to judge. He has always been extremely we|l liked and influential, too, thanks to his •name and position. We need to draw men of his sort in with us. Will you help us, Lora?" . , Lora moved her hands in a gesture of helplessness. “You must know how he feels about —well, ai»ut this house. He would never, I am sure, agree to come here” "I appreciate your delicacy, but we need not mince words.” Morgan’s smile was wry. ‘‘lt is I whom he wishes to avoid, not the house. However, you must know by Row, it is child's play to wrap Wade around your Anger. You can get him here if you try. Not for my sake. I am nothing in this. But to meet Murray Norwood. Once Murray talks to him I feel certain that Wade will be with us. Then he can use his influence to draw in others to help us.” Lora shook her head, quietly stubborn in the face of Morgan’s assurance. “I don't want, to wrap Wade around my fingers, or to see anyone else do it. I want him to think for himself and do what he believes is right.’’

’ Morgan nodded tolerantly. “You are honest, my dear, but you are also very young. There are certain facts you must face sooner or later. Believe me—l have known Wade all my life and I know he will always need a stronger hand to mould him, guide him. First you will tell him that Murray Norwood is interested in a plan which will oppose the draft and become a force in halting the war. Say nothing of the Circle. Let us tell him about it He may set the time for meeting Murray himself and the meeting will be In this house.” Lora shook her head. “The whole thing is hopeless. I don’t know anything about the quarrel between you and Wade, but I know he becomes very angry when your name is so much as mentioned.” "I realize that," Morgan said, her tone studiously light. “A childish notion on Wade’s part We had no quarrel. Nevertheless, there is one weapon you can use to bring him here. An infallible weapon.” — Lora waited, instinctively ready to resist this woman's persuasiveness. Morgan leaned forward in her chair and Lora noted that there were amber flecks of light In her eyes; an amber that seemed to glow when she was moved to intensity. “Make him angry," Morgan said. “Tell him that he is afraid of me, tell him that is why he avoids me. Tell him you think the war a more important cause than his own feeble fears. If you can make him feel he must prove his courage, he will come. I know him, Lora. I know him clear through." Lora regarded the woman before her with interesting distaste, but she managed to answer quietly. “The method you suggest would not be mine. I have too much respect for my husband.” She rose with a dignity which put her on the same footing with Morgan in spite of her lack of years. “I really must be getting back home now. It was kind of you to invite me here today, but Tm afraid there Is no way in which I can help you.”

She was aware of Morgan’s anger, though the other woman's manner remained carefully unperturbed. "What a contrast with Virginia you must make for Wade. How much suffering you must inevitably cause him." There was malice in Morgan’s laughter as she walked with Lora toward the door. L9ra found herself surging with resentment against this woman. But she would not give Morgan the satisfaction of suspecting how indignant she was. At the door her hostess held out her hand and Lora put her own into it briefly. “I will expect to hear from you," Morgan said. “Not for my sake, or for . yours. But because I believe you truly want to help Wade. And this is an opportunity for doing so.” Lora made no answer. She said a polite good-day, and went down the driveway, sensing that Morgan stood in the doorway staring after her. All the way home she pondered Morgan’s words and motives. Was thia a simple matter of politics as she professed, or was there in this woman a purpose which concerned Wade far more personally than she claimed. By the end of January, Lora had stUl said nothing to Wade of the request Morgan had iqade of her. She did not mention her recent visit, though she had told him of her first trip up the hill and that she had obtained the puppy from Morgan. He’d been distressed at first, but had eventually forgiven her. She had not, however, been able to dismiss her talk with Morgan from her mind. It was just possible that Morgan was right and Wade ought to have something like this to fling himself into- If Morgan’s cause was honest and just, the chance at least should be given Wade. But how oould she be sure? And how was She to broach the subject to him Without incurring his displeasure and gaining only an angry refusal ? . " (To Be Continued)
