Where Sergeant Mercer's arrival had served to calm Carol, it had proved an assault on his own inner reserves. It had been for liim the final, official admission that Davey was, indeed, in danger and that their fears, his and Carol's, were real. I want you to do," the sergeant had said, "is sit tight here and be available in case need to contact you." The police were on the job; they would do whatever could be done without any assistance from him. It was his part now merely to sit and wait for news of their activities. Inwardly Bill shuddered at the thought of what that news might be.

Carol was now sitting on the window seat in an attitude of mute withdrawal, her hands clasped lightly in her lap. He had always believed that a crisis, a real crisis, brought people closer together. He knew now it only tore them apart. She shook her head. "I know I'm acting like a fool, but I've never had to face anything like this before." His gaze, falling to the soiled newspaper which imtil now had lain forgotten at the far end of the window seat, caught and held upon it with sudden fury.

What on earth had he wanted with it? Crossing to the paper, he snatched it up. Wadding it into an angry, twisted ball, he turned and hurled it at the shadows across the room. Startled at this sudden burst of violence, Carol logked up in alarm. Bill nodded furiously toward the criunpled newspaper at the other side of the room "A souvenir," he said bitterly. "I got it from the gardener over in the park." "The park?" Carol frowned in bewilderment "It's the one he man on the bench.

He left it behind." Carol stared at him for moment ment in wordless astonlsh- "Bill, why didn't you show it to the police? If he handled it, then his fingerprints must be all over it. They could check." guess I just put it down and forgot about it. I just didn't Already Carol was across the room, picking up the crushed paper. Handling it gingerly, pulling at the comers, she started to straighten it out. "I guess I've wrecked it," Bill said numbly.

Carol shook her head. "No, maybe not." Swiftly she separated the paper into individual sheets, spreading them out on the window seat. Suddenly she stopped, nodding down at the one she held in her hand. "Bill, look! There's something torn out here. "Out of the church announcements?" Bill regarded the paper without immediate comprehension.

"What could that have to do "But maybe he tore it out!" "Here, let me see!" Carol handed him the wrinkled sheet. "Bill, it might be terribly important. You can't tell. We've got to find out what he tort out of here." Nodding, Bill continued to stare at the sheet. His gaze, which had moved up to the heail- ing, suddenly dulled with pointment "IVt yesterday edition.

The store won't have one now." "But someone will. Mr. McCracken! He collects them." "Sure!" BiU started rapidly toward the door. "I'll be right back." She was still staring down at the paper when Bill returned a few minutes later. "Here it He held out a duplicate paper as if in triumph.

"St Mark's announcement See, there isn't anything on the other side but an ad, just part of an illustration." Carol hesitated, unwilling to say anything that would curb his excitement too soon. "There's just the name," she suggested cautiously, "and the schedule of services." "And the address." "Yes, I know," she said gently. "But, Bill, if he was reading this paper today, then he must have picked it up after someone else threw it away. The first owner might have torn this out It seems so "But maybe not" BOl insisted. "With these eccentrics there's just the "Of course," Carol said.

"We'd better give it to the police right away." BUI paused. "But they've already pulled out. I looked on my way downstairs." "Then we'll have to call them. They said we should if anything turned up." "Look," Bill said with sudden urgency, "I'm going to St. Mark's myself.

The car's right outside. I can be there in just a few minutes. Who knows? Lightning might guy could be there right now." "Bill, it doesn't Bill held out a hand, half in entreaty. "Carol, I've got to do something, I've got to! I can't just sit here. I've got to to someone at least.

This may be foolish, I know that, but if it is, isn't it better for me to waste my time on it to bother the police? Maybe they've heard of this guy. Anyway, I'm going over there."

Fr. Burke Addresses RlWanians i The Kiwanis Club met Thursday evening, January 21, at the L. and N. Cafe and was represented by a vei7 large membership. Program Chairman, Alvie Gutzler, introduced the Rev.

James P. Burke as thes peaker and the club experienced a real treat inasmuch as he gave a very vivid ture of his recent trip to Rome, the Eternal City, arriving there last October, 1959. The Rev. Father Burke emphasized that three types of people visit Europe. teachers and tourist; and ministers and those who were ordained in the "Eternal City." Among the events the Rev.

Father Burke's visit abroad was a speech by the Pope in English, the observation of tremendous increase in neon signs, the modernization of wine factor- es employing automaton. Quite in- terestng also was the fact that a Rome dinner takes about three hours with 12 courses. Other places visited on the trip by Father Burke were Switzerland, London, Ireland, Paris and an interesting observation on Paris the speaker stated was the fact that the French people depend on the American leadership much more than the average individual thinks. Also, the Frenchmen have a great admiration for President Eisenhower. The speaker made this trip to Rome with several other priests and made the initial trip by air and came back by steam boat.

There were 60 chefs on the boat and each chef had 10 men under him as assistants. The speaker stated that the food was simply delicious, and he made this very significant statement: In all of his travels in Europe, when he arrived hime, Mt. Vernon looked more like home to him than ever. Guests of the club were Vernon Weiss, Richard Barlow, Ralph Stoops, and Wyman Ansley of Jamestown, New York. President Diaries Rohfling announced that January 21 represented the 45th birthday of Kiwanis.

The Chinese "Year Sheep" will be in 1967. of the Ruth Millet One thing parents should never foi'get is that the day comes when they have to push their kids out of the family nest and say, "You're on your own. Good luck and God bless you." A mother of a 19-year-oId boy writes: "Our son has been out of high school for a year and a half and we can't seem to get him to go to college, though he has a good mind and we can afford to send him. "He doesn't even have a job, though all of his friends are either in school or working.

My husband is getting tired of giving him money to keep up his car, have dates, and so on. But I'm not sure what we should do. We don't want to nag him until he leaves home. So what's left?" Just put the facts on the line. Tell him that you want very much for him to get a college education, but that you can't force him to.

Then point out that he has a choice. He can either go on and finish his education or accept the fact that his school days are over and that he is now responsible for making his own way in the world- Tell him that themTl bt no more spending money coming from mama and papa and that he will not only have to get a job to stay in cigarette and gasoline money, but that you expect him to pay for his board and room at home. It is no favor to a young man to encourage him to lie around home, letting papa support him when he should be either training himself for a career or earning his keep. As long as you make the nest safe and cozy and comfortable why should your son decide to exert himself? If you don't give him a push toward ambition and independence tlie next thing you know he'll be bringing home a bride and you'll have a couple to support. So you had lietter get tough in a hurry, both for your son's sake and for your own.
