tained by the wealthy Albert P.
Sutworth to keep his daughter
from eloping with an ex-wrestler
called Chief Big Bear, of whom
he disapproves. George goes to
Seneca Springs, where Chief Big
Bear has a gymnasium. Accom
panying George is Verna Denton,
his secretary, who has been keep
ing George's spirits up during the
lean times before Mr. Sutworth
came along. George is a rather
slight young man, not the hard
boiled, slam-bang private .eye
type, and he is not certain he will
like this case which threatens to

, realized he'd fallen asleep with
out even undressing he crawled off
the bedand stood up, stretching
some of the stiffness out of his
legs. He looked at his watch and
was surprised to see that it was
nine o'clock.
He went to the wash basin in
the corner and sprinkled cold
water on his face. He hadn’t often
slept this long before and he won
dered if Verna Denton was up
vet.
He knocked at her door a few
minutes later, but there was no
answer. He knocked again, this
time a little louder, Still there was
no reply. :
“Verna? Verna are you up?” He
tried the door, but it was locked.
Maybe she’d thought things over
and checked out. He'd find out at
the desk.
He hurried down the stairs and
rushed up to the desk. “Did Miss
Denton check out?” he inquired.
The old man behind the desk
dropped the racing sheet he was
reading. He lifted the green shade
he wore and scratched his bald
dome. “Miss Denton?”
“Verna Denton. Room 301.”
“Yeah, I remember. She’s that
slick black-haired girl.”
“Yes, yes. Tell me, did she check
out, or didn’t she?”
“Check out? Why no, not right
ily that I know. Are you Mr. Ken
diddle?”
“Kendall is the name,” he
snapped.
“Well Kendall, this here black
haired girl left a message. Got it
right here somewhere.” He was
fumbling in his vest .pocket. “Yes,
here it is. Says she'll meet you at
Bingo's lunchroom, That's across
the street, you know.”
Without knowing why, Ken
dall felt a wave of relief sweep
over him, It wasn't love, though.
Of that, he was certain. He
thanked the desk man and hurried
across the street to. the lunch
room.
He saw Vernaat once. She was
at a table in the corner, a cup of
coffee and a newspaper in front
of her. As he started toward her
she looked up from her newspa
per. Her eyes were circled, but
she was smiling. “Lazybones. 1
was getting ready to go over there
and drag you out of bed by the
hair of your toes.” ‘
She’s her old self, he thought.
“Overslept. I must be working too
hard.”
“Doing what” she wanted to
know. Incidentally, you look like
something the cat dragged in. Sit
down before you fall down.”
He pulled a chair out and sat
down. “Do I look real bad?”
“I've seen worse,” she answered.
“Put on your smile. Here comes
a waitress.”
He ordered wheatcakes and
coffee, the coffee black. Turning
back to Verna, he said, “Have you
learned anything yet?”
“About what?” she asked.
“This Chief Big Bear.”
“l was going to do e little
snooping, but then I thought it
over and decided to wait until
THE BANNER-HERALD, ' THENS, GEORGIA
Mighty Mouse got up.”
‘ He didn't particularly relish her
remark, but he was glad to see
her in such good spirits, though he
didn’t know why. “By the way,”
he said, “I'm sorry about last
night.”
| “Last night? Oh. I'd forgotten
| all about it. Besides, it was more
my fault than yours.”
“Then the war is over?”
“And the peace {ireaty Is
| signed,” she finished.
“Good!” But he wondered if it
was.
Presently, the waitress deliv
ered his order and also a fresh cup
of coffee for Verna.
“Now, while you're syruping
those flapjacks, suppose you begin
to unfold your plan of attack. Just
how are you gonna break up this
romance between Chief Big Bear
and ‘ Sutworth’s daughter?”
* * *
He was equally concerned with
what he would do and also equal
ly puzzled. “I'm not sure just
yet,” he replied. He sliced through
a layer of butter and syrup. “I've
got to look the town over first and
get the lay of the land.”
“We could ambush them,” she
suggested.
“He's out of season. Anyhow, I
just want to break up the romance,
not shoot it up.”
George was creasing has brow
with thought. The most logical
move, he decided, was to prove
that Chief Big Bear was not what
Marilyn Sutworth believed him to
be. Proving that the ex-wrestler
actually was a fortune hunter
would be best, and George could
do that by buying Big Bear off.
Sutworth would be willing to foot
the bill. He looked at Verna.
She sipped at her coffee. “Well,
you'd better not waste too much
time. If Big Bear is after Marilyn
Sutworth’s money, he'll ask her
to marry him at the first oppor-
tune moment.”
“l know. I'll have to work
plenty fast. I was thinking of buy
mf him off, but I don't know if
it'll work.”
“There’s one way to find out.”
Kendall saw himself confront
ing the wrestler apd offering a
bribe to break up the romance. In
his mind’s eye, he saw Chief Big
Bear growing suddenly angry, The
wheatcakes didn't taste so good,
he decided, and he pushed them
aside, “Bottoms up,” he said,
clinking his cup against hers.
“We've got a big day ahead of
us.” Even the coffee tasted flat.

Button Makers
e
Are Quite Happy
. .
About Politics
By GEORGE SMEDEL
NEA Special Correspondent
CHICAGO —(NEA)— No mat
ter who wins,- Chicago’s button
makers can’t lose in 1952.
Early returns from the big po
litical emblem manufacturers here
who make the bulk of the nation’s
campaign buttons, show they're
already in their biggest season in
history.
So far, as convention time ap
proaches they’ve made six million
Eisenhower buttons, with Taft
buttons a close second. Kefauver
has ordered a million, and backers
of Illinois Governor Adlai Steven
son, who said he wasn’'t running,
are ordering buttons just the
same.
Some idea of the size of the
button business in a presidential
year is indicated by the leading
manufacturer in Chicago, who ex
pects to turn out 100 million but
tons in his shop. And that’s just a
share of the business.
The emblems are stamped out
of lithographed sheets that bear as
many as 400 impressions. At the
Green Duck Metal Stamping Co.,
which claims about 80 per cent of
the nation’s button business, 2000
sheets an hour emerge from auto
matic ovens; that’s 800,000 but
tons.
Earl Butler, vice president of
Green Duck, which has been in
the business since 1906, explains
“all we care about is making but
tons. We're not backing any can
didate. We make buttons for both
Republicans and Democrats.”
The size of the order governs
the cost of buttons. The one inch
red, white and blue pin-on but
ton cost from 10 to 15 cents an
order of 100 or less. In lots of one
million the price is about half a
cent. Lapel tabs cost much less.
Two things are watched care
fully by producers of political
campaign buttons. None are made
unless paid for in advance. All
buttons bear the union made la
bel.
“We insist on cash because we
can never tell when a candidate
might suddenly withdraw from
the race leaving us with thousands
of dollars worth of meaningless
buttons on our hands,” Butler
says.
“And as for the union label: We
print it on both the front and the
back. Not even a candidate for
dog catcher would dare to distri
bute a button without it.”
A Kefauver bend-over lapel tab
shaped like a coonskin cap is the

Conduct Visual
E . tl
Survey of visual conditions in
local county schools was com
pleted some weeks ago with find
ings recorded on the permanent
folders of each of the children
examined. Aided by the loan of a
telebinocular machine from the lo
cal Lion’s Club, the survey was
conducted by teachers and lay
people.
Dr. J. L. Pendley aided in teach
ing personnel how to operate the
machine and they in turn taught
other persons.
The survey was conducted at
Demonstration, Winterville,
Gaines, Whitehall and Hinton-
Brown schools.’A total of 941 stu
dents were examined with 217
found needing corrective aid. Of
the 217 needing corrective aid, 67
have already taken steps to cor
rect their faulty vision while 49
need financial aid to correct their
sight deficiency.
Three-hundred and seventy
eight students at Demonstration
School were examined and 80
were found to need correctiye
measures. Twenty-eight of that
number have taken steps toward
better sight and an additional
nineteen need financial help. The
total number of students examined
at - Winterville was 307, out of
which 67 were found to need glass
es or some cortective treatment.
Twenty-eight from that school
have had treatment while 16 need
financial aid to do so,
At Whitehall there were 89 stu
dents examined and 29 found to
need corrective treatment. Of this
number 5 have already had treat
ment and 5 need financial aid to
have the necessary fitting for
glasses. At Hinton-Brown 25 stu
dents were examined out of which
number 5 were found to be in need
of corrective measures. None of
the students have had the treat
ment and three need financial aid
to have treatment.
Princeton School did not con
duct the survey as originally plan
ned.
It was stressed today that the
records of the examinations will
be kept by the individual schools
and that students will be examined
again at the beginning of the next
school year.
According to county school of
ficials, the examinations were giv
en because of the opinion that poor
scholarship is often due to poor
sight. The many ways:in which
faulty eye-sight may hinder the
progress of students were pointed
out by the teachers prior to the
individual eye examinations.

Krilium Believed
Most Effective
. . .
Soil Conditioner
ST. LOUIS — Charles Allen
Thomas, president of Monsanto
Chemical Company, said this week
that Monsanto’s Merloam formu
lation of Krilium soil conditioner
utilizes the most effective chemi
cal on the market for maximum
soil aggregation per pound of ma
terial.
“It is not based on the raw ma=-
terial acrylonitrile,” he said.
Thomas pointed out in a state
ment that the rate of application
recommended by Monsanto has
been scientifically determined by
several years of extensive tests
conducted by his company and by
many technical cooperators from
coast to coast.
“This rate of application is con=-
servative,” Thomas said. “A great
er area can be covered than that
which is recommended, but with
less effectiveness. Pound per
pound, Krilium is the most effec
tive soil conditioner on the mar
ket.”
Monsanto is not revealing the
composition of this product until
patents are issued, Thomas con
tinued.
