Many complaints and criticism of the persons who spend the week-end racing up and down the waters off local coastal resorts have been made at the local ra tioning board. Outboard motorboat owners do not fall under the gasoline re stricted group and may secure an unlimited amount of the fuel. Many persons who are making sacrifices and riding buses to con serve gasoline have complained to the board that similar restric tions should be placed upon the outboard motorboat owners. “It is purely pleasure riding," the board said, "and while auto mobile owners are restricted on unnecessary riding, the outboard motorboat owners, while entitled to gasoline, should consider that they are wasting the precious fuel.” “It is a shameful condition when motorists are denied pleasure trips and the motorboats spend hours in unnecessary waste of gasoline by pleasure riding,” the board declared. -V Rerigerator care should include defrosting whenever ice around freezing unit is 1-4-inch thick, and cleaning up of foods spilled inside the cabinet, to prevent damage to po\°lain enamel surface • CHAPTER XXXXVI “It is nothing short of a mir • acle.“ Marg said, as had Tommy, to Tibby when she came to see her in the hospital. Marg's plain face was alight,'as Tommy's had been, jat her joy that her friend was j alive and, as she expressed it. “all jin one piece."’ “You might have been burned to death, darling—it I makes me shudder just to think of it! You must have had a rabbit’s foot with you. honey, or the like. Anyway, you’re here—all in one piece—and that is all that mat : ters.” • Tommy had said that, too—that that was all that mattered; every one was saying that to Tibby. Sne did not feel that way. She was thankful, of course, that she had escaped severe injury, or even a horrible death. She would have been a very foolish girl, had she not realized that this had indeed been a miracle, but she was trou bled about the silver ship, the beautiful silver ship that was no more, that would never fly again. If only she could have saved it. “You’re not to worry about the plane.” Marg said, as did every one else, in talking with Tibby. Everyone seemed to sense that she was worrying about it a great deal. “Wayne Courtright surely has it covered wi h insurance. Even if he hasn’t, he will be so thankful that you are safe that it won’t make any difference. What’s an old ship, darling, compared with you?” Tibby knew that Marg was en deavoring to cheer her up, so she managed a faint smile, but she was not cheered, not in respect to the ship. It had not been an old one, but a very expensive one, a ship that could not be replaced now with the country at war, thus making its loss even more mo mentous. Tibby did net know whether Wayne carried insurance on the ship or not. He still was out of town, for which she was thankful Maybe she ought to be ashamed to feel that way, but she could not help it. She dreaded to think of his return, not just because of the sil ver ship, but because of the other things that she must tell him. Of course, she would have to tell Wayne about that other miracle. It would not be fair not to tell him, for she could not marry Wayne now that her heart had spoken. Neither Marg nor anyone else knew about that, and so they nat urally thought that itt was only the silver ship that Tibby was troubled about, which was why they kept trying to reassure her that its loss, though serious, was not so impor tant. You’ll be out of here in a few days,” Marg was saying, still keeping up that cheerful front. You’ll be as good as new, except for that bandage you will have to tote around for awhile. And you look so interesting, darling! Now if it had been me, instead of you, I’d probably have = couple of brok en legs, so I couldn’t get around, and my poor old mug all cut up to make me more attractive, or at least my front teeth knocked out. You must have had two rabbit’s feet, darling!” i iDDy managed a better smile this time, for Marg was a dear to try so hard to put a cheerful front on everything. Poor, darling Marg, whose own heart was any thing but light and cheerful; she had received the tragic news that Captain Mercer had been among those brave men who had put up such a gallant fight at Pearl Har bor. Captain John Mercer had been one of the country’s first war he roes. He was credited with hav ing show down two Jap planes and probably crippling several others. He had conducted himself with outstanding bravery and valor. His name would go down in history. Marg’s John had made the su preme sacrifice—he had given his life that democracy and freedom might live. Marg had not shed any tears; she had not grieved. She had ac cepted this news with quiet dig nity. She said that she knew thqt was the way John would have wanted to go. She did not think of him as dead. “I know,” she told Tibby, “that he has hfs wings now —for always.” The wings of the spirit of which he had spoken. “I have decided to go back to nursing,” Marg told Tibby now. “They say they need nurses and will be needing them badly. I said all along that that was what I would do if we got into this war. I’m glad that I’m needed, that there is somethinv I can do.” Tibby knew how Marg felt, in service to her countey she could lose her own sorrow She said, “I think that’s fine, if it’s what you want to do, Marg, only I hope you won’t have to go somewhere right away. I hope you’ll be here a while —at least until I get out of this old hospital.” She knew Marg was not planning on leaving that soon, but Tibby was making an effort to con tribute to the cheerful mood her friend contrived to maintain. “As if I’d leave before that!” Marg’s expression was reproach ful. “Steena and I are planning a regular celebration to welcome you home, my pet. We may not be able to manage a brass band, but we certainly are going to do our best!” Tibby said the brass band would not be necessary. It would be enough just to be allowed to return to the apartment They treated her very well in the hospital—:n fact she had never had so much lavish attention—but it was a hospital for all of that. Marg said, uo you Know. Steena is a different girl! I can’t imagine what’s come over her! She’s that sugar-sweet lately. It may not last, of course—reforma tions seldom do. I always said our Steena had her good points be neath all that beauty. She was wonderful to me when the news came about John. Not one word of sarcasm or the like. She couldn’t have been more understanding and sympathetic had she been my own mother.” Tibby did smile at this. Steena in the role of Marg’s mother. But she knew what Marg meant, for Tibby had had a visit from Steena, too. They had had a long heart-to heart talk that had cleared up many things between them . Tibby had been right in thinking that Steena had courage, of her own kind. It ha dtaken courage for Steena to tell Tibby all that she had confessed, that she had used Tommy as a foil, that the engage ment between herself and Tommy had only been a part of a cam paign, that it was all off and over with. Tibby had not told Steena about the miracle, but she had thanked her for coming to see her and for all the things that she had said. When Steena had got up to go. Tibby had asked her if she would do something for her She had not given he Treasons. She had just asked it as a simple favor. Steena had said she would be glad to do anything she could. She had said it almost humbly, eagerly Tibby slipped the ring off her DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Decayed 8. Line of bold cliffs 10. Even 11. Fodder vats 13. Manacles 14. Smell 15. Earth 16. Kettle 17.

She did not have to give the obvi ous reasons, that such a ring was out of place in a hospital, even a risk, since it might be misplaced or stolen. Her real reason for asking Steena, instead of anyone else, Tibby kept to herself. No doubt Steena thought the ring could have been put in the hospi tal vault, or entrusted to another person, anyone, it would seem, rather than herself. Yet she was pleased that Tibby would entrust it to her. It must mean that every thing was all right between them. She accepted the ring, saying she would take care of it until Tibby asked for it again. But Tibby did not intend to ask for it, ever. She had other inten tions in the back of her head. They might work out, and again they might not, but they were worth trying anyway. It was not a cam paign that Tibby planned, as Steena had; but being feminine Tibby had her own way of trying to make things “pan out” as they really should, now that this was not, as she, and Tommy and Steena had thought, the end of everything. Everything" was not settled, by any means, since that something had happened that Steena had pre dicted. Steena, too, had been right —in a way. (To Be Continued) -V Tobacco Inspection Service Is Approved WASHINGTON, June 8—(A>)— The free and mandatory tobacco in spection service of the Agriculture Marketing Administration was ap proved by 70 per cent of the el igible votes cast by producers sell ing on the 49 flue-cured tobacco markets, the Agriculture Depart ment announced today. The tobacco inspection act pro vides that at least two thirds of the eligible producers voting in the referendum must vote in the af firmative. All growers who sold tobacco at auction on the market last year were eligible to vote. The department said, however, that extension of the inspection to all of the 49 flue-cured markets in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia and Florida this year was doubtful, as there is a scarcity of qualified tobacco in spectors because of the war.'* Total number of eligible ballots cast in the referendum was 26. 320. Of this total. 18,406 favored designation of the flue-cured mar kets for the inspection service. -v_ Harry Bridges Hearing Continued Until June 22 SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.—— Continuance to June 22 in Harry Bridges’ habeas corpus proceed ings was ordered today by Feder al Judge Martin I. Welsh. Bridges. CIO labor leader who is fighting an order of deportation by Attorney General Francis Bid dle, is in Washington for CIO con ferences, with court permission, on $3,000 bail.
