My father was a Republican. I guess all my folks were. Mother doesn't take much interest, and well, I never thought much about it either. My brother-in-law's a Democrat. I used to hear him talk some but really I never made up my mind." "I can see I'll have to take you in hand. We'll have to continue your education." He changed the conversation abruptly. "We might start with a party. Ever go to parties? "I don't mean the kind whera you sit around and drink tea. I mean where people talk and think. This crowd's always throwing parties. None of them has money enough to make it much of affair. We get some sandwiches and beer or coffee, play some records, and criticize somebody's latest picture, or poetry, or idea on how to make the world a better place.

Vera Oliver, dark, with Mark' hair parted in the middle and drawn back smoothly from , a broad brow, a vivid painted mouth and dark eyes that flashed em phasis to her rush of words, had accepted Sue Mary as one of them, when Nick Informed her that here was a girl Interested in the things they were doing. What he hasn't explained is that I know nothing about this " sue Mary hastened to add. 1 mean, I don't know anything about modern art and poetry, or politics." no Barriers to break down then," someone said. Sue Mary turned around to the tall girl who nad been naniinc oictures with Nick when she first came in. "If you want somethin to do with free time you've found the right ones to help you out. Vera's starting now with a new project for the Youth Progress group. I bet she's already planning on how you can help." Natalia was a strlkln contrast to Vera. Her honey-colored hair was worn in a shoulder-lenith bob; her eyes were blue and calm; her voice almost languid. She wore a simple print frock with an air, but there was a hidden forcefulness about her that Sue Mary had never associated with artists. "She'll have to come to one of our parties," Nick said. "Meet the crowd and get adjusted." "Oh. I guess you'll take can of that," vera added. "Nick'a boss. He pushes us around and do we love It." She looked at Sue Mary with interest. "Can you type, file, do stenograpnic work? "Yes, of course. I work In an office." "Then I put first claim on you. Whom do you work for?" "Clark, Kenny, Malone and Clark they're lawyers." "Divorces and murders?" "No, not much anyway.' Cor poration law. They handle the work of the companies: like Centerville Motors and the Gull Plane Company." There was a moment s silence. Sue Mary wondered if they had ever heard of the firm. "Its pretty big business " "Yes," Nick said. "I guess It is. And I guess your office must be busy right now. War orders. At least that s what the papers say." "Yes. I read that too," she agreed. -"I know that the plane people are working on something new. For the government I sup pose. I heard Miss Crant say there were a lot of new patents- She stopped abruptly, blushing again. "I don t really know much about that. I just heard my boss say something. I didn't mean to talk office. I guess it s just Be cause I don't have much else to talk about." Sure," Nick said. "But we'll fix that. All work and no play you've heard that one. Well, work with us and play, too. We'll start before you re a day older. We re having a studio party at Natalie's after we close the show here tonight. And youre going with me." But Sue Mary had not heard Natalie and Vera whispering be hind her.

One of the chief targets of Italian bombers was Valletta harbor, pictured en the 1S37 Coronation issue above. Colonized by the Phoenicians in the seventh century B. C, Malta passed under control of Rome and Constantinople. In 1090 Normans ousted the Arabs, introduced feu dalism. The Knights of St John estab lished their order at Malta in 1530, and in 1565 successfully de fended the island sgainst Moham medans. This great siege of Msl ta checked the advance of Mo hammedan power in southern and western Europe. Britain seized the Island In 1814 with the help of the Maltese.
