The comforter is sometimes called the spirit of truth. It is good to
know that the great heart of the Infinite is sensitive to our tears. That
his arms will enfold us in our hour of bereavement and sorrow. I will
not leave you comfortless.—John 14:18.
Fresh, New Thinking
ALTHOUGH some of General Eisenhower’s top cabinet
command is yet to be chosen, the two most important
posts have now been filled and it is fair to discuss the caliber
of the general's appointments.
John Foster Dulles as secretary of state was no surprise
to anyone, since his name and Governor Dewey’s had all
along been prominently mentioned.
Dulles is a proven specialist in international affairs. He
has served ably in the united nations, has been on and off
a Republican consultant to the state department, and is
thoroughly familiar with its internal workings and its prob-
lems.
His crowning glory was the fashioning of the Japanese
peace treaty. That pact was unique in two major respects.
It was the first treaty in modern world history that was not
vindictive, that did not aim primarily to penalize the van-
quished nation. The great goal was—and is—to draw Japan
into the family of free nations and build within its islands
a healthy democracy.
CECONDLY, the pact was shrewdly put together by a care-
ful series of country-by-countiy negotiations which con-
sidered and disposed of, one by one, all the principal
stumbling blocks to a final successful result. This diplo-
matic technique had never before been tried on such a scale,
and it contributed mightily to the smooth course of the
treaty discussions.
No one seems to have anticipated the specific choice of
Charles E. Wilson, president of General Motors, as secretary
of defense. Hut the selection of a businessman should have
occasioned no eyebrow-raising.
J^ISENHOWER emphasized during his campaign an in-
tent to put the defense establishment on the strictest
business basis. Defense now takes upwards of two-thirds of
the total U. S. budget. If any great savings are to be made
either in spending or taxes, sizable sums must be shorn from
the Pentagon’s annual outlays.
Wilson is extremely well equipped for this hard task. For
many years he has captained one of the biggest and most
far-flung industrial enterprises iri'the world. He knows arms
production from the producing end, and it is here any sav-
ings must be made. He is an operating specialist, not a mere
corporation figure-head. His reputation and position were
built on performance.
If the quality of Ihe appointments to come matches
Eisenhower’s key selections for state and defense, then the
general seems sure to build a corps of administrators who
will bring to the government badly needed fresh thinking
and new, purposeful action.
Bandits held up a bus driver in an Illinois town. Add one
more excuse for being behind schedule.
The treasury department says the average dollar bill
lasts nine months. How dumb do they think we are?
If you just remember that figures don’t lie, it’s a lot
easier to stick to a diet.
The average person is sick eight days a year, says a doc-
tor. That gives some folks enough to talk about for months.
Police found an Indiana boy of five after he had taken a
five-mile stroll. Maybe mother just sent him to the store.
If the grown-ups wait up to kiss the kids good-night, no
wonder they don’t get any sleep.
Down Memory Lane
Nov. 28. 1932
The Canadian county registration committee for Gov-
' ernor W. H. Murray’s relief work program is urging all
3 unemployed persons to register as quickly as possible. H. G.
. Keller is serving as chairman of the committee. The gov-
ernor has approved 11 more road projects in the county as
l part of his relief program.
Ihe lire department, it seems, is going to miss setting a
'new record. So far this month the department has had 24
.calls and the month is practically over. The record month
,was February, 1922, when 28 calls were answered.
Sale of Christmas trees, which will finance the Christ-
Bmas party to he staged Dec. 17 by the Retail Merchants

f'lORPORAL DILLON had fln-
ished making photo-copies of
the will when we got back to the
office. I sat down at the desk and
looked at the original. It was typed
on a single sheet of ordinary bond
paper. It was very brief. Albert
Kemmer, being sound of mind,
wished to leave and bequeath 70
percent of all property which he
possessed, or to which he might be
entitled to at the time of his death,
to Edward Fields, in recognition
of his faithful service. He wished
the remainder to be divided equally
among Katherine Lane, Daniel
Morrison and Christopher Witmer,
in recognition of same. In witness
whereof, he had hereunto signed
his name, and it did look like Al's
burly script. It was the kind of
will you ropy out of on almanac.
The date was July a year ago.
There were two witnesses, scrawled
signatures that looked like Paul
C. Cragsdale and Jerome Martin.
No addresses.
Later I walked up the cinder
road to Chicken Alley. Sally Ann
Prushnick's room was down at the
end, in Cottage 10. I stopped for
a moment at No. 9 and knocked at
Kitty Lane’s door. "Come in," she
said, lazily stretching out the
words.
I opened the door. "Oh, It's Mor-
rison." she said. She waved a glass
at me. "Sit down—have a drink."
She wasn't drunk; Just a little
greased in the hinges.
"Thanks,” I said, "but I’ve got
to run.”
"Sit down betore I fire you."
"I dropped in to tell you you're
the new owner of High Hill, but I
seem to be a little late with the
news."
"Some of us Just phoned to see
how Eddie is and he told us. But
there's no dancing in the streets.
Have a drink."
“Haven't time—got to go. Just
wanted to wish you luck."
“I guess you think I shouldn’t
bo celebrating," she said sulkily.
"Well, I'm not. I liked A1 a lot,”
"Sure. I know, Kitty. See you
later."
I crossed to Ihe next cottage,
went down the hall and knocked
on Sally Ann's door. I heard her
spring up, clatter across the room.
The door yanked open. "Oh. Dan!
I've been looking for you." But
her big, ruddy face was tight and
somber. "I’ve got something to
tell you."
* * *
lYfE walked down Honeymoon
” lone to a dilapidated rock
fireplace here and a semicircle df
chipped, rotting logs. Sally Ann
walked across the leaf-crusted
earth and sat down on one of the
logs.
"I guess you're wondering why I
took you so far.”
"Okay, tell me.”
"Because this Is where a certain
fellow brought me,” she said, sud-
denly bitter.
"Not Dave Fields?"
"The same . . . Friday night at
the dance, I guess he must have
danced eight tlmas with me, and
all the sweet talk he gave me. I'm
silly for paying attention to that
kind of thing, but after all, a girl
Is only human. Even If you know
a fellow's a liar, you believe half
of what he tells you If he tells It
nice. Well, he took me for a walk
up Honeymoon Lane" —she faced
® by Jowpk Shame
OMActod by MEA Sank* bin
around at me abruptly—"but not
when you think he did.”
"You mean it wasn’t right after
the dance?"
“No, it wasn't. It was yesterday
about one in the afternoon. What
I told that police captain was a
lie.”
"I knew It, Sally Ann.'
"You knew?" When Sally Ann
showed surprise, she put her heart
in it.
"I happened to notice you com-
ing to the maintenance building
while we were getting ready to
move A1 and Eddie, and I knew it
was much before 4 o'clock, the.
time you claimed you came back
from your walk. I knew you'd
come out with it before too long—
I knew you couldn't keep your
teeth clamped on that fib."
"You're all wrong there. Don’t
think I’m owning up to the truth
because my conscience bothers
me."
"Why are you?”
"Because I hate men.”
* * *
T WAITED a while, let her cool
down, before I prodded her into
talking again. “Do you want to
tell me why you told that little
fib?"
"Because he asked me to. Dave !
Fields. That's what he took me
for a walk out here for. Oh, he I
didn't do It cold—he sweetened me
up first. But after he had me soft- |
ened up, he let me see he was wor- |
ried about something, and when I 1
asked him what it was, he kept
putting me off. just to make me I
more curious. So finally he told'
me.
“He said that after he took me
home from the dance, he went to ]
By Joseph Sholli*
his room, but he couldn't go to
sleep. So about a quarter to two,
he got up and took a little walk
outside to make himself sleepy. He
Was out for about 15 minutes, and
then went back to bed. The next
thing he knew, he heard people out
In the hall talking about the awful
thing that happened in the office.
Then he all of a sudden remem-
bered you once heard him quar-
reling with Eddie and then later
arguing with Mr. Kemmer, and he
thought maybe you might get a
funny idea he was involved in this
awful crime and tell the police.
So he decided it would be better
not to mention his walk, just so
nobody would get suspicious. So
when the police questioned him, he
slept all through the fuss, till
somebody woke him at 4 o'clock."
She looked at me to see how I
was taking It, and rushed on.
"Well, then this fellow in the room
next to him spoiled everything by
telling the cops he heard Dave go
out earlier. So that’s what he took
me out here for—he wanted me to
say he'd lied Just to protect my
reputation. I was to say he’d been
with me from a quarter to two till
4 a. m.”

NOUGHTS at random:
Heard of a woman who keeps
the hair from her wooly long
haired dog and spins it into
thread from which she knits
socks and sweaters. This seems
to me to be going a long way to
preserve the hair. or is the
greatest display of thrift being
practiced in these parts.
It is understood the first story
teller never has a chance but if
anyone can top that, space will
be given in this column to pub-
licize it. But it has its educational
advantages as it will catch me up
on the art of spinning. I’ve seen
spinning wheels as purchased by
antique collectors but never one
in use.
TF one desires to see an example
A of what we hope the Elsen-
hower administration will pro-
duce, such as lopping off all
unnecessary features and getting
right down to stark realism, he
should have a dinner of more
than comfortable proportions with
the Three Musketeers. The
hors-d'oeuvre, bouillon, and other
fragmentation which precedes a
piece de resistance such as a
turkey, Is not only a total loss
in food value, it is a waste of
time, besides being a torment.
Appetizer, pfui! Appetites like
theirs need no tantalizing. Just
lay the food on the plate in
sufficient quantities and nature
will take care of the rest. They
are trenchermen after my own
heart and would be the pride of
their great grandfather who de-
rided nothing in the field of
edibles but cold cereal, and always
said he had small use for the man
who scorned his 'vittles.' He lived
to be 87 years old and didn't
leave this world hungry.
T^AKES me think of John
■F’A Dillon of Geary who was
also a first-class eater. He stood
six-four and weighed 309 pounds.
As a patient in the hospital he
called me to his bCdside and
said, "Ann, I'm hungry. I want
food. No more of this thin soup
and boiled egg and custard diet.
I want a steak and potatoes and
bread, I'm positively faint from
hunger.” Trying to be sympa-
thetic, I said, “Mr. Dillon, I know
you’re hungry, but you are a sick
man and can’t have a heavy
diet." He gave me the most dis-
appointed look and said, "I know
I’m a sick man, and I’m going
to die, but I'll be danged if I
can see why I should die hun-
gry?"
Well, he didn't die and he
didn’t starve but every time he
saw me he looked as if I had
failed him in the clutches. Those
oldtimers believed one had to
stoke a fire to keep up the heat,
and maybe they had a point.
They did work harder than we
do. Anyway, the full tray gets
my vote.
