««\/fISS CARSTONVicki’s boss
said, “Take Miss Plimsoll
and show her the Eberlein place.
1 believe you are familiar with it.”
’’Yes, Mr. Williams.” Vicki nod
ded brightly to the elderly Miss
P 11msoli and got her hat. Indeed
she was familiar with the Eberlein
place. Hadn’t she and Chuck Eber
lein been partners when she had
lived next door? Suppose that had
been years ago?
- As she drew up to the place those
years seemed to slip away. Vicki
was seven: She had gone in the
house with Chuck, eating her half
si the stick of candy his penny
tad bought, and listening worship
fully as he talked.
•‘She’s my new partner,” he had
told his mother proudly. ‘.‘T gave
aer half of my candy and we’re
partners—for always.”
When she was nine they made a
•partnership’ wagon, using the
wheels from both their old trl
tycles. It had endured for two furi
)us days on the walk in front of
.heir houses.
At eleven, Vicki had found the
‘ cittens in the Carston shed, and
tad told only Chuck., Fearful that
jer father would drown them, they
tad kept the secret for days.
•Don’t tell anybody,” Chuck had
taid. ‘‘Partners keep secrets from
iveryone else.”
She wondered nostalgically what
tad happened to the kittens. Some-,
hing had; just as things had hap
pened to her, and Chuck, and to
ter childish dream of someday
peing his real partner and living
i the Eberlein house.
The Eberleins moved to Hartford
and Chuck had gone there from
college. News drifted back to
Lewistown occasionally. The Eber
leins bought a house at Hertford.
Chuck was a reporter fqr the Hart
ford Times, Then—The Eberleins
had had an accident; fatal. Chuck
had gone to New York. That was
the last, but Chuck still owned the
house at Lewistown. She held to
that knowledge as meaning that

ANTHONY STRUSZ, 4027 W. Irving Pa»k Road, Chicago, Illinois,
■ w « told when he started to work that the man he was to work for
was one of the smartest men in the machine shop business. After
working with him for several weeks, Anthony agreed that he was a
smart man.
JJe liked Anthony and he told him that he was going to teach him
the tricks pf the trade. As tiwty worked together
Anthony would get ideas of his own about improving
the jobs and he would tell his boss, who' would
listen, look at him and say. ‘‘Tony your ideas are
good, but they ain’t worth a damn.”
This went on for ten years. Anthony Strusz’s ideas
were considered "not worth a damn.” This worried
him, for he knew some of them were good. Their
Superintendent was in an auto accident which didn’t
appear serious at first—-but a week later he died.
Anthony’s boss was moved up into the Superin
tendent spot, leaving a good job open. There were
a number of men in the plant who would be considered and Anthony
was afraid he didn't have a chance.
A few days later he was called in.o the main office, all of the direc
tors of the company were there. One said, “Tony, I understand you
have a lot of ideas that aren't worth a damn, so you are elected to
run the machine shop." Anthony was stqngQc}, all he could say was,
!, }’ll 4b my. best.”
l»ast year Checking took place. In his peak year Anthony produced
JIS.OOQ controls With .85 employes where formerly there was produced
76,000 to 86,000 controls-as the peak year with 75 employes, ,«r~^>*ga
He says maybe' he wasn’t glad he stuck to the job with ideas that
weren’t worth a sJamn.

Now Vicki was showing th >
house to a prospective buyer, hear
ing their voices echo in the vacan
rooms. Why, she wondered, should
their tall emptiness stir her more
poignantly than the place next
door where she had lived? Sh -
came out of her reverie to hea
the last of Miss Plimsoll’s words
" —just isn’t quite suitable. ,1-
guess I'd better look a little
further before deciding definitely.”
With the old lady back in the
car, Vicki was about to go to the
driver’s side - when another car
pulled up behind. A man, was get
ting out. Her heart alniost stopped.
It was Chuck!
He came up smiling; took both
her hands. “Vieki! What luck!
You being right here to meet me!'
A trembling urgency was in h
voice as she answered. “You likr
my being here, Chuck?”
“More than anything. More eve
than being home again. How hav
you been, Vicki?”
‘‘Oh- alright.” Her voice wa
surer now. “Until today. I wor
for Williams and Freeman, yo
know. I came out to try and sr
your house. I- I felt like a traitc,
■Chuck. Like I was trying to sell
friend; or a- partner.”
“You rea|ly felt that, Vicki?
His voice dropped, “I’m glad.'
“I know.” Chuck smiled. ”1
wont be selling now. Vicki, I’m
free lancing now and I’m coming
back to Lewistown. I-” He glanced
at her waiting passenger. “I wont
ceep you now, Vicki, but suppose
I come by the office? We could
have lunch, and talk about my
coming back, and about furniture
for the house, and- and gbqut pur
partnership. Want to?" . . r
“Po I?" She asked, then before
going to her car she gave Miss
Plimspll something - to “wonder
about. She stepped in close hr
Chuck and as his arm rose natur
ally about her shoulders, pursed
her lips and turned them up *•
him. “Put ’er there, partner.” •
