SU PER 1 FIRE FIGHTING IS SUPER-DEFENSE Those individuals who are inclined to disregard the importance of peace-time fire fighting and fire pre vent ion may be impressed by th^ manner in which such work affects the strength of our national defense' program. According to news reports, negotiations are under way to sentf 25 American firemen to Ixmdon to study new methods of quenching j bomb-set fires. 1"he plan was attnoun ced by J. Hay Pence, Secretary- I Treasurer of the internal long! As sociation of Fire Department Instructors. He is "waiting approval of United States officials and' 'sanction of London fire fighting authorities. ' Linking the proposed expedition with the national defense program, Pence said that after six months' ex perlence In the combat area, the American firemen would return and train their colleagues in war-time fire fighting technique. "Fire fighters are almost as Important in this war as aviators," said Pence. If his plan Is adopted, volunteers for the Bngllsh trip would be selected throughout the United States. The story behind this proposal shows to what a great extent fire is a menace to the strength of national defense, A fire started by an incendiary bomb Is no more effective, in destroying an essential industry than fire caused by plain negligence Fire Is a menace to reckon with whether It follows a prelude of roar jng war planes and explosions. or i whether It start from a carelessly t thrown cigarette, or a neglected t heating plant.. t - ^ ^Waiting For a Sail The Modern Merchant Doeaa't wait for SALES HE ADVERTISES ^ !

BRIAN AHERI What Has Gone Bekokl : William Essex, a young uviter i struggling against poverty in i the alums of Manchester, marries prim little NelUe Moscrop when her father, his emoloyer, u. n t ,r ;.'iy r swears that any son of his shall receive all the luxuries he has missed. On the night that Essex 1 receives printed copies of his {irst published book, a son ia urn to his close friends, Dermot and Bhelia O'Riordan. A few months later, to his vast delight, Essex's own son, Oliver, is born. Essex angers his wife by indulging in the boy's every whim, turning him into o act ;nn, sfju?iea cnua. w/ien Vltver la eight ha is caught in a petty i theft.. Bssex refuses to punish I him, and a bitter quarrel ensues t between him and Nellie. Chapter Three Nellie and X continued to live 1 together in an emotional climate of mutual toleration ? one of ! those relationships where deep- ; lying differences are rigidly kept below the surface for the sake 1 of the children, for the sako of appearances before others, for the ' sake of an outwardly orderly 1 existence. Things were easier when Oliver, 1 a couple of years later, went off to public school, and later to ! Balliol. Nellie withdrew deeper and ; deeper into her religion, while I abandoned myself to my Work, producing book after book with | one unflagging purpose; to in- , crease my artistic standing and my fortune by making each book better than the last. I decided to do a novel about tho Yorkshire coal mining people, and in accordance with my'custom I went into the district to i live among the people about whom I intended writing,, to observe j Before I knew U my c their lives and their customs at first hand, to absorb their lanfuage and their ways of thought, nforming no one of my exact < intentions, I secured a job as an ordinary laborer in the mines owned by Pogson, whose son was a!' classmate of Oliver's. Oliver hau just turned nineteen at he time; i a handsome lad of tremendous charm, whose winsomeness and ; ready wit carried him through many a scrape into which bis I spoiled impudence get him both i in and out of school. i At the end of my second day's i work in the mine, as I was emerg- i ing from th* shaft in a lift with a group of other miners, the < jnanager beckoned me aside. In i my rough clothes, countryman's i cap and smudged face, I must < have looked a convincing miner, i for it seemed that a young lady 1 artist, who had been commie- 1 eioned to make sketches Of the 1 mine and its surroundings, de- I sired to draw me as a typical 1 mine worker! "Would you like to make a shilling?" the young lady asked i , me brightly. Carefully keeping in my York- < shire man's character, I surveyed 1 her deliberately. The head above 1 her shapeless smock was crowned with a mass of light yellow hair, : In which the waning sun, peering In through the windows of the rude mine office, made a strange lustre. The features were delicately chiseled, the nostrils sensitive, the lips somewhat tight but quick to curl up at the corners, the chin delicately pointed and apt to tilt high. I looked, but permitted my face to betray nothing. A bob?" I answered her In my best Yorkshire drawl. -I might." . "Wall 4.1 >4 ?v.? 1 ' ?? # VTOI W1CI? WT the wall and let ma make a sketch of you." "Att at m#r? "That wo Id be worth two bob." : She acquiascsd with' a laugh, and began her drawing. I stood submissively by the wall wbfle she sketched with rapid, buelneeellke strokes. "What do you do In the mine?" Inquired the artist without look%??. "Oh." She paused. "Do you like your work?" "Do you mean to keep on askln' questions?" I demanded. "TtH cost you another bob If you do." 1 "I'm not that Interested," she retorted Thru your profile, please" 1 continued to gam at During Aug^et $4,600,000 worth f blue surpls food stamps were dls ] rlbuted through the Food stamp | lan in the 126 area* throughout ( lie United States where the plan la t t operation.

"Do you do that for a living?" 1 asked, her, "or just to amuse yourself? "If I answer, it'll cost you a bob." she said; then, added. K?t . niuul.l urrti'H.Bg,?l*ufl*iiV*fUi'"M living." A few minutes more, and she had finished. She showed me the drawing, which I praised lavishly; then she paid me my two shillings. I deliberately bit at the coin, then rang it on a piece of metal, then pocketed it and walked away, without a word. When I had washed up, changed into more livable clothes, and had my supper at the inn, I went for a stroll' through the outskirts of the town, meditatively flipping my two-shilling coin/ It eluded my palm and rolled around a bend in the road. When . I caught up with it a slender young lady with .atraveling bag was picking it up from the road. It was my artist friend. She recognized me, despite my somewnu aiicrea appearance, ana heatedly accused me of having defrauded her by posing as a typical miner. I protested that I was a miner ?an anxious delver in my own , mine that yielded an occasional gem ? and sometimes just plain muck. "That gives me a clue," she exclaimed. "You must be a writer!" 1 bowed a humble acknowledgement. "It's all. very interesting, I'm . sure," said the lady, "but I haven't time to stand here talking. I've a train to catch." I lapsed quickly into my workingman manner and speech. "Carry your bag for a shilling, mum?" * *. * Never in my life had I talked so animatedly to anyone as we walked to the station, discussing the work we did. She, too, seemed _ irrns were about hor. to enjoy it enormously. "I never knew talking to a woman could be like this, I suddenly exclaimed. "What do you mean?" "Well, I ? I never knew a woman who did anvthimr ? who liad a career, as you call It. I didn't know a woman could bo beautiful and young and intelligent ? all at the same time." She faltered In her step for a moment ,&nd stared at me. In that instant, X think, we both realized how tremendously important was this meeting for both of us. We walked on, and fell to discussing the current work of authors. She had, it seemed, been reading "Evjry Street", the newest work of tne William Essex. I expressed interest, while betraying nothing. While she approved Essex's writing, she poked run at his portrayal of feminine characters. This fellow Essex, she believed, knew nothing at all about somen "But the critics like his love scenes," I protested. "The critics are men," she laughed. "Now don't stand there and tell me you'd make love like WU- ' Ham Essex!" Unconsciously, we both stopped. E looked at her, aid said slowly, "X might have once. ..I wouldn't now. Not after tonight. I'd hay ? I'd say ? " Before I knew it my arms were about her, straining her to me. Without hesitation her arms weut about my neck. I kissed her fervently. "Oh. my darting!" It lasted only a moment. Then I withdrew from her embraao and gripped her almost fiercely by her shoulders. The words tumbled from my lips. " "I had no right to do that. I'm m not a free man. But I shall lovs m you forever and ever. I knew it from the first moment I heard your voice ? from the first moment I saw your face...No, don't , _ S_ WV II.

"Please, please . . . not tears f I whispered. "I dont think I can bear that!" "I shall be In tears when I'm ? alene!" I razed at her for another moment, then turned abruptly and walked away. ff. hf cmMnued) Because of a short cotton crop ast year, many Northampton County farm families are now growing nore small grains and beer cattle, tays H.
