Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO - WORE PRECIUS. THAN RUBE _‘ B THE STORY: Alma Conroy, em ployed by the exclusive jewel firm of Trumbull & Company, believes her husband Tommy when he says he has been promoted to a respon sible but confidiential position in the firm for which he also works. He presents Alma with expensive furs as gift. But Joe Denton, a friends tells Alma that there has been another inside robbery at The House, No suspicion has en tered Alma's mind as she goes to lunch with her grandfather, Old Vietor Blanchard, who has been employed half a century by The House, and who recommended that Mr. Muncie, the head, place his own son in general charge. The son, Brighton Muncie, was the one who gave Tommy his new job. - - - VI When Alma Conroy and Old Victor Blanchard Arrived at the restaurant, Joe Denton was *already there. He sprang to his feet and pulled out the chair next to him while her grandfather sank into his accustomed place beside the white-haired beautiful Mad ame Leshinka, head appraiser of jewels. Her fine eyes, still dark and sparkling, lit up at the sight of Victor. She had been in love with him for half a century, and Alma often wondered why these two had ‘ never married. The wife Old Vie tor had lost had been nothing like so-beautiful as White Marie, as the | store called her. But Gran’ Bijou | had possessed a quality that men never forget. The restaurant was one of those highly respectable, but moderate priced places. It was located across the street from the House of Trumbull and groups from the different departments had their special luncheon tables there. This noon there was an unsual excitement evident in the group. Mr. Smith, from Silverware, was holding the floor. “It's true!” he was saying with low emphasis. “The Head's son— Brighton Muncie!” oOld Victor caugth the name with strained eagerness. “What of young Bright?” he asked. “Something good?” “I wish it were!” White Marie's rich voice was full of regret. “But perhaps it is only gossip.” “Where there’s smoke there’s fire!” Mr. Smith insisted piously “That young good -for - nothing isn’t running round with Mysti Marchand to reform her!” The name of the well-known playgirl interested Alma. Mysti was & name to conjure with—to conjure up mink coats and jewels, hectic divorces and the hot breath of scandal generally: a high priced, greedy, dangerous woman. But so far, to Alma, Mysti Mar chand had been just a colorful, rather !nterestir]:g name, “So Bright uncie has beeni hooked by the golden Mysti,” she commented. “That will come high, from what I've heard!” #*Well at least he can buy her jeyels wholsesale!” said a voice. i There was a gust of laughter and someone else added, “He’ll | have to go easy, even so. I hearl that young Mr. Bright didn’t get the raise he asked his daddy for!” ’ “As assistant manager of the store, Bright should rate the right salary.” “Oh you know The Head: Mun cie would think that holding Bright down on money would dis cipline him. Probably wants Bright to feel that the honor of a position of trust at The House isi reward enough!” “Wonder if Mysti will see it that way?” There was more laughter. - * * Old Victor's distress was in measlng‘ steadily. ‘I fear that lam the one whot put Bright where you all seem to feel he| should not be,” said the old man, “Look you, after those little mis takes about money which this boy | made years ago, it was I who per suaded Mr. Muncie that his son might become more serious if given real responsibliity. It would .be dreadful—mais oui-fmmid-] able! If Mr. Muncie were to learn | about his son and this women.” “Well, it's a sure thing nobody here is going to tell him!” Alma FEEL AWFUL? 66 6 ,y?nptomatic RELIEF Athens Llodge No. 790 B.P. 0.

There isn't any other personal interest in Mr. Muncie’s life — so let's ston guessing at things we don’t really know about.” Old Victor, his distress still un disguised, slowly nodded his head. It was true. Brighton Muncie did mean everything to the Head that a son could mean to a father, The talk drifted around to other matters after that. But there was no discussion of the recent robberiers at Trumbull’s The em ployes had been asked not to speak of them in public and they respected the request as if it had been a military command. At closing time that afternoon Alma found herself dreading to go home to the empty apartment. She quit a few minutes early, telling herself that it had been a long time since she’d had a look around the ground floor shop. But that basically honest voice which was the core of her kept whispering that this was merely an excuse to see Joe Denton. She wanted to see Joe alone, to tell him about Tommy’s good fortune —and, well, to be with Joe! But she did not have to go into the shop to find him, after all. When she reached the foyer of the employe’s entrance, Joe was com ing in from the street. He hastened to join her, a trifle out of breath, as though he had been running. “Caught you!” he said with his wonderful smile. (To Be Continued) In The Service WITH THE 25TH INFANTRY DIV. IN KOREA — Pfe. Virgil Reed, Route 3, Athens, Ga., has been awarded the Combat Infan tryman Badge, a symbol of close~ quarter fighting with the enemy, while serving with the 25th In fantry Division in Korea. The badge, consisting of a min iature replica of a Revolutionary War flintlock mounted on a blue background and superimposed on a silver wreath, distinguishes the actual fighting men from rear area and service troops. Reed is a member of the 14th In{antr’ Regiment, 1 Applause Meter Lions P Announcement was made today that an electric applause meter will again be used to select win ners in the annual Lions Club Amateur Show, scheduled to be held January 25, in the Fine Arts Auditorium on thé University of Georgia campus. J. W. Henry, Lions Club presi dent, said that the meter will be installed near the center of the auditorium so that it will be able to pick up the applause given each performance and register it pre cisely. Eugene Epting is to have ’charge of the operation of the | mreter this year. “By using this method of regis tering applause,” Henry stated, “all chances of error are elimi nated. On the electric meter an arrow points to the exact place on the meter dial where the applause had the most volume.” Henry continued that the elec tric meter is ordered for this event each year, because of the keen competition for the nearly S3OO in prizes given winners. In the past entertainers have competed from practically all surrounding towns in this area, and amateurs living within a 50-mile radius of Athens are eligible to enter the show and compete for the prizes. Previously the Lions Club pres ident had announced that Judge | Arthur Oldhamr of Athens City | Court and former president of the | Lions Club, will serve as master | of ceremonies this year. Practical {ly all of the 100 members of the {club will help in arranging and staging the show which annually attracts a capacity audience to the largest auditorium in the city. Eugene Epting, in charge of the tryouts for the show, said that the date of the first tryout will be announced shortly, He emphasized that it is necessary for all enter tainers in the show to participate in a tryout. Mexico City's lowest street is more than a mile higher than the topmost points of New York City’s skyscrapers. R T T g TR T W W i) ’w{ﬁ " U gTR ; G M e ??’?%’/X E .

Newsmen on AP papers were almost unanimous in giving top rating to the three percent, SIOO,- 000,000 tax levied April 1. Only one of 19 voting failed to put it in the year’s biggest ten happen ings. Three classed it second, one third and 14 first. Second was the $207-million state budget with $Bl million for the Minimum Foundation for Ed ucation. Two rated this story first, six second and all included it in the biggest ten, The building of the Savannah River H-Bomb Plant near Augus ta came third. It, too, drew two first place votes, six second place and was included on all the bal lots. Rounding out a big four in Georgia news was the death of 38 from drinking poison liquor in Atlanta, Only one newsman rated it first and none second but 15 put it third, fourth or fifth, Ten points were allowed for a first place vote, nine for second and on down to one for 10th. On this basis, 18 newsmen tallied 175 points - for the sales tax and 19 gave 140 to the record state bud get-MFP, 135 to the H-bomb plant story and 124 to the poison liquor deaths. None of the other six of the biggest ten stories scored more than 61 points. They are listed below in order.
