THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1955 | NELLIE'SOCEAN VOYAGE By FX Rowley j _. . - ' ■ : '—" Thompson sure could paint. Not houses and barns like most of us, but real gond scenes on pieces of canvas These ~he would sell over at Jeff Harvey s gas-station on the main road ' Pretty soon Jeff’s little station be came so busy that he had to hire ■ a helperT~"“”’ ~'' “Best advertising I ever had.” Jeff told me one afternoon as he wiped his perspiring brow “Had thirty-seyen ears in here so far today—and this a Monday.” “Ned -sure can knock out some beauties,” 1 said, scanning the line of eye-catching panels We both stopped smiling a few min utes later, however, when Ned drove up in his old car. 9 ‘Got a few more pictures here.” he informed Jeff, pointing to the back seat. “That's the last of 'em.” . It was easy to see tljat the wind had been taken out of Jeff’s sails “But what about our business?” he asked weakly. “When the high way is widened folks from all over tile country will be stopping here buy your- paintings. It’s—well, like throwing money away to now.” He turned to me: “Isn t that so, Johnt” I said it was so. I tried to con vince Ned that he'd got hold of a good thing, but he just shook his head. When his car wheezed away it left me and Jeff standing there with exceedingly long faces. * You see—l was Jeff’s helper. We stayed* at the station later r than usual, that evening trying to figure out some way to change Ned’s mind. Both of us liked Nellie Thompson, and we certainly didn’t begrudge her the ocean voyage, yet her getting it would kill Ned s incentive for painting. Worse yet. it would wipe out my job. “Let’s not kid ourselves. Jeff,” I said “Ned is through painting unless he finds himself in a tight spot. He’s keeping his promise to Nellie, and for him that’s enough.” “That’s it!” cried Jeff, brighten ing. “We’ve got to convince Ned that his money will be gone when T' HE day before Larry Wiekes. PO. Box 388, Dublin, Georgia, was tc * sail for sea duty in the Navy he received a letter from his wife’s lawyer saying she wanted a divorce. He felt as though the bottom had dropped out from under him. For the next two and cne-half years ht tried to drown his worries in liquor and beer, or anything else that would make a man drunk. When he was discharged from the Navj he left off drinking but he brought his worries home with him. He bought a gasoline service station in Dublin. Georgia, and for the next four years he tried to forget his worries by working fifteen or sixteen hours a day at the station. But it didn't work. A few years'-fater as he was walking down the street he suddenly blacked out and almost fell flat on his face. He went to a doctor for a check up, and found he had very little blood: also he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He did some serious thinking that afternoon and decided he had reached the end of his rope. Something had to be done. When he went home that night he closed the door and fell down on his knees and asked Almighty God to take his life or do what he would with it. He himself wanted only peace of mind. »Then he crawled into bed and slept like a baby. That knot was gone fiom his stomach and'he was completely relaxed. His prayer was heard and answ-ered by the Lord. He believes that there never has been nor will there ever be any method discovered that will beat tie? one he used. . • * . •- “ ■ ■■ r : 'os) \SPE C| AL/ Sp et j a | qualjfy TMI VALUABLE COUPON ON IVIIY IAG CAN HELP YOU SAVI MONIY ON HOUSIHOLD ITEMS Writ* far c<m.pl*»«hr lllu.tr.ud Mlili| showing many- ralMtli houtohold Officio*.

Nel lie carried the ball from the start, getting -Jeff into a corner and talk mg about agents ..and things like** that. When we left. Jeff was mumbling to himself and carrying on some thing fierce. “No go, eh?’’ “Well, Ned’s going to keep on paintirtg,” tie granted. “Good! I feci sorry for Nellie, though. All her life she has looked forward to making an ocean voy age.” , ! “Oh. she’s going to make her voyage all right,” he growled, “and I’m going to pay for it!” ••You?” “Me. She’s smart, that & Nellie Thompson too smart. Somehow or other she got wind of the fact that Ned s pictures are important to my business. She’s gping to mail batches of paintings to me from every port they touch; - but she’s allowing me a mere ten-per-cent of the profit instead of the twenty five percent Ned always gave me. Claims tsuch trips are expensive.” I whistled. Then I found myself wondering what Jeff would say if he ever found out that my land lady didn’t even own a telephone CARNEGIE brain 1.
