Come in—find out how
Packard takes the tension
out of city driving!
Here's a car that meets @/l the demands
of downtown traffic. And handling ease
is only an ever-present part of the story.
What impresses you first, in this
sleek, roomy Packard, is the way you
can see—the wonderful feeling of al
ways knowing exactly where the front,
sides, and rear of your car “are at!”
It puts an end to all the old “squeeze
plays” . . . whether you're cruising or
parking.
Next you'll marvel at the turbine
smooth trigger-quick responsiveness of
Packard power. You simply point to a

| Louis Durand, 37, a weli-to-do
i bachelor, has been corresponding

| According to her picture, Miss
Russell is dark - haired, strong-
sudden opening in the traffic jam and
—you're through it!
Above all, you'll prize the restful rid
ing ease . . . the sure-footed roadability

And when you head this cager, road

But come in first for the city story.
It's one of the big reasons why the new

THE STORY
THE BANNER-ATRALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
featured and so longer young.
Durand goes down to the dock to
mee the boat that is to bring her
from St. Louis. He is dumfounded
when an exquisite young blond
creature introduces herself as
Julia. She explains her little de
ceit by saying she didn’t want him
to fall for just a pretty face.
Durand is enhanted with her and
they are married. Certain things
puzzle him, however, during their
first days together. Among them
is the fact Julia has never opened
her trunk. She says she lost the
key. When a letter arrives from
her sister chiding her with not
writing, he insists she reply, takes
her letter to mail himseii. Julie
says she dislikes having to ask
him for money every time she
goes shopping, wonders if he
could not arrange a joint bank ac
eount, Indulgently, he tells her to
meet him at the bank at 11.
XII
~ She allowed him to precede her
to the bank, as was her womanly
prerogative. But once he had ar
rived, she kept him waiting no
more than the fractional part of
a minute. In fact so precipitately
did she enter, on his very heels,
that it could almost have been
thought she had been waiting at
some nearby vantage point simply
to allow him first entry before
starting forward in turn.
She accosted him before he had
littlle more than cleared the vesti
bule.
“Louis,” she said, placing her
hand confidentially atop his wrist
to detain him a moment, and
drawing him a step aside. “I have
been thinking about this since you
left the house. I am not sure I—
I want you to do this after all.
You may think me one of these
presuming wives who— Had we
not better let things be as they
are—l 7"
He patted her arresting wirst.
“Not another word, Julia,” he
said with fine masuline author
ity. “I want it so.” i
He was now sure that the idea
was his own, had been from its
very inception.
She deferred to his dictate as
it was a wife’s place to do, with a
seemly little obeisance of her
head. She linked her arm in his
and accompanied him with slow
moving elegance across the bank
floor toward its farther end, where
the bank manager had emerged
and stood waiting to greet them
with courtly consideration behind\
a low wooden partition banister.
Durand said, “May [ present Mr.
Simms to you, my- dear? A good
friend of mine.”
Mr. Simms said with a gallant
inclination, “I am inclined to
doubt that, or you would not have
delayed this for so long.”
- They entered the office. They
|seated themselves, Mr. Simms
seeing to her chair himself. '
“I should like to arrange,” said
Durand, “for my wife to havefull
use of my account here, along with
myself.”
“Oh, really,” she murmured
disclaiminglyg upping her hand.
“He insists—"'
“Quite simple,” said Simms.
“We merely change the account
from a single one, as it now stands,
to a joint account, to be partici
pated in by both.” He sought out
‘papers on his desk, selected two.
“And to do that all I have to do
‘is ask you both for your signa
{tures, just once each. You on this
authorization card. And you, my
dear, on this blank form card, just
as a record of your signature, so
that it will be known to us and
we may honor it.”
Durand was already signing,
forehead inclined.
Simms edged forward another
paper tentatively, asked him: “Did
you wish this on both accounts,
the savings as well as the check
ing, or merely the one?”
“It may as well be both alike
and have done with it, while
we're about it,” Durand answered
unhestitatingly.
“Lou,” she protested, but he
silenced her with his hand.
Simms was already offering her
the inked pen for her e¢onveni
ence.
The letter was on his desk when
he returned to the office from his
noonday meal.
Twice he started to open it, and
twice was interrupted. He took it
up, finally, and prepared to spare
it a moment of his full attention.
The postmark was St Louis
again. Whether spurred by that 01'}
not, he recognized the handwrit- |
ing, from the time before. From
her sister again. |
But this time there could be no
mistake. It was addressed to him‘
directly. Intentionally so. “Louis
Durand, Esq.” To be delivered |
here, at his place of business. i
He slit it along the top with a
letter opener and plucked it outl
of its covering, puzzled. He swung
himseif sideward in his chair and
gave it his attention.
If dried ink on paper can be!
said to scream, it screamed up at
him.
Mr. Durand!
I can stand this no longer! I de
mand that you give me an expla
nation! I demand that you give
me word of my sister without de
lay!
I am writing to you direct as a
iasi resouce. If you do not inform
me immediately of my sister’s
whereabouts, satisfy me that she
is safe and sound, and have her
communicate with me herself at
once to confirm this, and to en
lighten me as to the cause of this
strange silence, I shall go to the
police and seek redress of them.
I have in my hand a letter, in
answer to the one I last sent her,
purporting to be from her, and
signed by her name. It is not from
my sister. It is written by some
one else. It is in the handwriting
of a stranger—an unknown per-

BROWNIE TROOP 19
Brownie Scout Troop 19 under
the leadership of Mrs. H. A. Wes
tervelt sponsored a troop poetry
contest after returning one day
frem a hike through the beauties
of the autumn season.
The winning poem was written
by Caroline Christian. It was cho
sen by the troop from a number
of fine verses because it really
told about Brownies:
“We. are Brownies, happy and
gay,
We do our work and then we
play,
We hike to the woods and find
pretty leaves
Red leaves, and yellow, all of
them are bright.
We always work before we
play.

Our Girl Scout troop took a trip
to Buford, Georgia on November
5. Mrs. Dorothy Shutt took us in‘
the Girl Scout carryall, “Scouta
bout.” We went to Buford to visit
the leather tannery. First we went
to see the processing of the hides
from where it is taken from the
cow’s back to where it is ready
for use. Then we went to the man
ufacturing building where the
leather is made into saddles, and
harr.iesses. One saddle was trim
med in sterling silver and was
worth $2560. We saw the crafts
men tooling the design on the sad
dles by hand. They did it so
quickly and the designs were real
ly beautiful when they were fin
ished. Different colors of leather
are made. The guide Mr, Allen
gave us each a sample of red,
brown, blue and black leather.
We also collected some sheepskin
strips. Some of us have made sou
venirs out of the leather samples
we brought back.
Our troop is working on its
First Aid badge, Cooking BadgeJ
and soon we will have our Leather
Badge. We appreciate Mr. Jack
Scott helping us to earn our First
Aid Badge.

On our trip to the North Georgia
mountains we really had a good
time. We ate lunch at Voegel
State Park picnic* grounds after
exploring the lake. On our way
back we stopped and hiked up a
trail near Bald Mountain to see
some Indian writing on a rock. We
found the writing and also some
wheels from an old pioneer wa
gon. Bald Mountain was supposed
to thunder when strangers came
up that trail, but it was a nice
sunny day when we came soo we
didn’t hear the thunder. Some of
us brought ferns wrapped up in
moss back from the trail. Peggy
Westfall’s is living nicely.

Ayers Speaks
To High
School P.T.A,
Speaker at the recent night
meeing of the Athens High Schoo)
P. T. A. was Superintendent Freq
Ayers, who brought out six pointg
on his subject, “What You Have 4
Right to Expect Your High Schoo|
to Do For Your Son and Daugh
ter.”
| Introducing Mr. Ayers at thig
‘dinner meeting, with 125 persong
present, was High School Princi
\pal Sam W. Wood. Presiding over
the meeting 'was Mrs. Warrep
tThurmond, president.
Music Rendered
Music was rendered by a saxo
phone ensemble composed of
Dickie Mendenhall, Sidney Tuck
er, Janie Mae Cooley, and Allan
!Barber and a brass quartet com
'posed of Allan Shadgett, Douglas
| Edwards, and Charles Flanagan,
The music was under the direc
tion of J. J. Byrnes.
Superintendent Ayer’s main
points in his address were: (1) The
high school should have a well
rounded course of study; (2)
Sound scholarship; (3) Well
rounded boys and girls; (4) Char
acter education; (5) A well dis
ciplined school; and should (6)
Teach the dignity of labor.
Elaborates Topics
In elaborating on these topics he
said the cfiurses should be changed
to meet the needs of the students,
sound scholarship demands
thorough planning and home study
with the student doing the work
required. "
Also he said a number of things
make up well roundness, what
ever is meaningful to the growing
children they are urged to find.
Discipline is very important in the
school he said.
After Mr. Ayer’s speech the
people were invited to wvisit the
rooms and talk to the wvarious
teachers. Many parents and visi
tors took this opportunity to visit
the school rooms and talk with
their children’s teachers.
