GRIFFIN (GEORGIA) NEWS
Kitty looked at him and noticed
that ins face was paje to grayness
before she answered. She remem
bered, as the pictures flashed past
yet again in her mind, that Mac’s
big figure hadn't been among the
shadows of the men who worked
over Randall, forcing in the oxy
gen, forcing out the poisonous
monoxide from the extiaust of
Ben’s car.
“Let me" ^ tell you something, »»
said Kilty in a tight voice curi
ously older in tone than it had
been an hour ago, “I’m tired of
being tiie one who slips on the
banana peel so that everybody
eise can laugh and feel better—”
“Good God who’s laughing? I
“Nobody, and they’d better not.
You’re not; you’re angry because
it made you squeamish to see
Randall—-well to see Randall.
And you’re worried, too.”
“I suppose you mean Mag. But
how about—”
“Did you know she threatened
to divorce Randall? Where would
that leave you?”
“And where,” said Mac, “would
it leave you? Listen, my pretty,
why turn on me?”
Because you’re part of the
muddle, thought Kitty with the
new part of her mind that worked
too clearly, Because you asked
without wanting and T responded
—a little-^ without caring, And
it might have gone on, still with
out meaning, if Collins hadn’t
come.
“I'm an accident!” Kitty cried
out loud. “And everything that’s
happened to me has been an ac
cident. I’m sick of it: I was sorry
for Randall, naturally I was. It
was one muddier to another. But
these people who were here to
night—they were shocked, but
they’ve gone home and by now
they’ve had a drink and they feel
better and they’re buzzing! About
me, about Mag, about Randall.
It's their fault, too! Don’t you
suppose Mag knew they always
called her ‘poor Mag’? And that
Christian- Scriptures, but over the
whole 'record and face of the life
of mankind. We realize this as we
see today hew much our safety and
security in a national sense depend
upon the willingness of many to
accept the dangers, endure the pri
vations and .sufferings., and make
the supreme sacrifices that others
may live.
For a second great significance
of the Cross is its place in Chris
tian fellowship. They who regard
the Cross of Christ only as some
thing borne for them, from which
they may find their own salvation
and-their own selfish profit, never
discover the mil meaning of the
Cross. .,
' Paul, to whom the Cross and the
Resurrection-were central and basic
in Christian faith and experience,
wrote of the Cross as something to
be shared. The Cross was not only
the Cross ujxm which Christ died;
it was the Cross of Christ "by
Whom the world is crucified to me.
and I unto the world." He wrote
of "the fellowship Christ’s suf
ferings. ”
li we were all as true and great
Christians as Paul, we would un
derstand all that, and we would
have that great, experience of
knowing the unsearchable riches oi
Christ and of sharing the redemp
tive purposes of God in the Gospel
of Hfis Son. The Cross always take.'

she knew they knew she had a
new coat every fourth year instead
of every second year? And that
they sat and sewed the Seatons’
troubles in the seams of every

So he took a drink and Mag said
something shar* and— AU tjjesa
nice respectable one car and a
mortgage people! They were al
ways awfully kind, but they
talked too much. They’ve almost
killed Randall Seaton—
“Wait a minute,” said Mac. “If
you don’t like it here why don’t
you go back where you cam*
from?”
Id I TTY felt as though something
inside her were being wrung
very slowly.
She knew why Mac wanted to
hurt her; the trouble was that he
succeeded. She couldn’t go back
where she came from. And in a
dreary clairvoyant perspectiva
she saw herseif whirling wretch
edly along from mistake to mis
take, accident to accident, , be
cause she couldn’t go back where
she came from; back to Collins.
Mac’s world was threatened too
and so he hated her, temporarily.
“Why don’t you go home?
Kilty asked. Even her eyes were
drained of color, water gray in
her white face. “What’s the use
of our hitting at each other? What
good will that do either Mag or
Randall? You’re selfish and I’m
stupid and the town’s small
minded, and among us v-e’ve
ruined the Seatons. There’s no
use in our trying to take it out
on each other.
“I’m not anxious to stay,” Mac
sank unhappily from hostility to
sullenness. “And I may be self
ish but you’re right, I’m not
stupid. This world plays favorites
every time. It makes me hot! You
can stand there and wince about
the Seatons but I’d be willing to
lay every cent I have that none of
this is going to cost you a nickel.
You’ll go 6 away and find a new
place but our small-minded
friends that you’re so stern about
will see that a lot of other people
pay, including Peg and Ben—
“Go away,” whispered Kitty,
“Go away.”

Dr. T. H. Wynne, veteran jeweler
of Qriffin. and his two sons Dozier
Wynne and Dr. T. H. Wynne, Jr.,
looked around to see what they
could do to contribute to the war
effort. Numerous trips were made
to Washington and finally the three
decided to turn their skill into mak -
ing radio crystals. The first thing
they had to do was to convince
the Washington authorities that
they could do the work. But the
skill of Dr. Wynne, who started out
back in the last century manufac
turing jewelry and watches and
ins two sons was sufficient to prove
to Washington that they could do
the job.
Miking radio crystals such as
those needed by the Army in mobile
sets is no easy task. It calls for preci
sion work of the fin-si, degree.
£>ucn crystals cannot have a single
flaw and thej must be true to
the millionth of an inch. The first
contract that the Wynne Precision
Company was given was a small
“trial” one. The finished product
turned out to be so good that hie
only trouble the local company now
has is getting enough help and
enough rock crystal to fill the de
mand made on them.
At present the Wynne Precision
Company works about 100 persons,
on two shifts. Practically all of
them were trained in the local
plant by Herbin Turner, who first
studied the art and mastered the
intricate work.
The directing genius back of
whole plant has been Dr.
and his two sons. There is
part of the manufacturing of
stals they have not mastered.

work enabled them to become
perts in making the crystals.

Wynne Precision Company has
been manufacturing crystals now
since Nov. 1942 and is one of two
concerns in Georgia turning out
the tiny heart of Army radios.
Radios equipped with Wynfie
made crystals have helped the Al
lies score some of their most bril
liant victories.
The crystal manufactured qj :
Wynne is a tiny wafer of quartz
crystal, that vibrates very much
like a tuning fork. These crystals
are used to put a transmitter or
receiver on its proper frequency.
Wynne-made crystals are used by
the Air Corps, by Mechanized Ca
valry and Infantry, by the Tank
Corps, in fact they are used when
ever any unit of the Army needs to
keep in contact with other units.
Radio News recently commenting
on the crystals, such as made in
Griffin by Wynne Precision Com
pany, said in part:
"The quartz crystal has gone to
war.
“On a dozen, battle Ironts, where
swift communications may so easiiy
