MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1942.

Chapter 19
Bright Day
THE next day the day of the
barbecue waa perfect The
weather man had shown great
benevolence. And aa Joe Neely
itood looking out of the window
of hia bedroom he thought that It
looked aa though the weather man
had taken the moat perfect day
In June and an ideal September
day, itirred them well, and added
Jutt the proper touch of Auguat
aky and sunshine.
Not a cloud ... gentle breeze
. . . and over all a canopy of spot
less blue.
He turned away from the win
dow, and finished dressing. It was
when he was putting hia best pa
lamas, his toilet articles, and his
iwimmiru? trunks in a beach bag
the telephone bell rang. He picked
up the receiver.
"Hello?" he said.
"Is that you, Joe. honey?" t
feminine voice inquired.
"Yes." Joe said, smiling to him
self. "This is Joe-honey.
"Joe, honey, this Is Daisy. I'm
In a terrible dilemma."
"What's happened?"
"I've got no one to take me out
to the barbecue. Fred's going to
take aome of the town folks that
have been Invited good business,
he saysl And Ruby's doing the
lame."
"What about Paul?"
"Oh, he's going to take your
girl-friend."
"I thought she waa already out
there."
"She was. But It seems that ahe
had to come in for some laat-min-uta
errands, and Paul's playing
busman or Cupid or boy scout, or
something."
"And you want me to drive you
out is that it?"
"Yes, Joe, honey. Unless you've
also got a earful.
"Not a soul," said Joe. "Glad to
have company. Are you ready?"
"Yes, Joe, I am, said Daisy.
"I've got the duckiest sort of
dress for the barbecue, and one
for this evening, and one for to
morrow, rve also got some aiacks
to wear over my bathing suit,
and
"Just a minute!" Joe cut In.
Maybe I'd better bring a truck."
Daisy laughed. "I've got every
one of those things In one small
suitcase. Believe it or not."
"It's hard to believe, all right,"
aaid Joe. "But I'll take your word
for it. Be down in the Inn lobby,
Daisy I'll be there in fifteen min
utes." -"Oh, Joe, you are aweetl" said
Daisy. "I'm dying to see what you
look like in a bathing suit."
"Some folka say I look like
Jimmy Stewart," Joe kidded.
"Others say I resemble the Living
Skeleton when I'm wearing
swimming trunks."
"Joe Neely, what a thing to
say!"
'Til be seeing you," said Joe
Just before hanging up.
Top Of The World '
TJE FELT oddly gay and care-
free. Though heaven alone
knew why he ahould feel that
way. tie ougnt to feel lower than
Hades, considering all that had
happened during the past week,
or rather ail that had not hap
pened. Scarcely a glimpse of
Kathleen. Just seeing her hurry
ing here or hurrying there and
nearly always with Paul Pennell.
And Mr. Frank seeing almost as
much of Ruby Howard. What in
'heck had come over the
iVaughans, anyhow? It looked as
though the only member of the
household who had any sense left
was Lizzie.
Oh, well, the day waa too per
fect for dwelling upon unpleasant
matters. Laugh say clever things
be gay be the life of the party
if It kills you. Joe Neely!
He finished his packing, grabbed
tip the beach bag, and went out
to his car.
DAisy was waiting for him
looking like something out of
Vogue. Pale blue frock that

matched the sky, and made hei
eyes look even bluer. A wide flop
py hat that dipped here and there,
giving her a little girl appearance
one moment, and a look of mys
tery the next.
"Like me in this get-up?" said
Daisy.
"I certainly do," said Joe. "Only
don't call it a 'get-up.' It's too
beautiful for such a description."
"Thanks, Joe!" said Daisy.
"Now you've added the perfect
touch to a perfect day."
They drove out of town, and
turned into the road which led
to the old Vaushar farm. Joe rec
ognized a number of town people
heading the same way.
"Looks like old home week,"
he said, "or time for the County
Fair." ,
"The vaushans eertalnlv must
'be well-fixed," said Daisy, "to be
able to entertain ao lavishly.
"There's nothing lavish about
giving a barbecue,' said Joe. "Just
a lot of hard work."
"But all those people!"
There're to be only about
thirty guests in all That's not so
many.
"Goodness, Joe, honey, If I had
to cook for that many people I'd
just curl up and die.
"And that," ' said Joe, "would
be just too bad. You look too al
luring to curl up and die, Daisy,
honey."
Proposal, From Daisy
mT0 YOU really think I look al.
- luring?" Daisy said very
softly.
"You bet I do!" said Joe.
They drove along in silence for
a while. Daisy hummed presently,
a popular love aong. Listening to
her, Joe was reminded of a girl
who sang over the radio.
"Were you terribly hard on me
In the review of 'Let's Call on
Letty'?" Daisy asked suddenly.
"Of course not," said Joe. "1
tried to do right by our little
Daisy."
"Sweet sweet Joe."
"Oh. no, nothing like that. Jus)
too soft-hearted, I suppose, to be
a genuine George Jean Nathan ot
a Brooks Atkinson."
"Will there be a part for me In
your plav?" Daisy wanted to
know. "The play Ruby's inter
ested In."
"There may be."
"And will you speak a good
word for me to Ruby?"
"I don't think that would do
any good," said Joe. "Ruby
knows all about you already."
"But if the playwright recom
mends me, it will help."
Joe chuckled. "We're certalnls
crossing our bridges a long tim
Deiore we get to them," he said.
"Ruby hasn't even read the play
yet."
Daisy sighed. "How nice II
would be," she mused, "if ac
tresses weren't so terribly jealous
of each other."
"Are they?" said Joe.
"They certainly are. Ruby Is
always so afraid I'll spoil one ol
her scenes or steal one. It makes
me very unhappy, Joe, honey."
"But things are like that in all
lines of work people are jealous
always fighting competition, and
"It's worse with acting, Jo.
You'll never know."
"Maybe I will if I get a play
on."
Daisy moved closer to the
young man beside her. She looked
up into his face.
"Joe, honey," she said, "some
times I wish I were iust an or
dinary girl." ,
"Why7 said Joe bluntly.
"I mean. I wish I were lust a
girl who was content to be a wife
and a mother and not one with
ambitiona."
"Well, suppose you were? What
then?"
"I'd fall In love with you, that's
what!" said Daisy.
Joe actually jumped. "With
me?" he said. "Now you're talking
througn your hat.
"m not, Joe. I really mean IV
Joe stopped the car, then.

Teamsters Say Picket Lines
Of t' Times Merely a Racket
Washington, June S. (JPi The International Brotherhood of
Teamstert (AFL) has termed picket lines "an organizing racket"
In many iiistmre an1 directed its members as a wartime measure
to go through them where necessary to deliver goods. .
In the June issue of the
union's magazine. General Presi
dent Daniel J. Tobin said: "I
know many of our unions have
a clause in their contract which
reads that it shall not be con
sidered a violation of the agree
ment to refuse to deliver goods
where there is labor trouble.
"Let me say now, unless the
international union orders you
not to go through picket lines,
that clause must be set aside
during the period of the war.
"Even in non-defense indus
tries every means within your
power should be used before
you stop work. But the so
called picket line, since the
passage of the Wagner act, in
many instances can be honestly
called an organizing racket that
isn't founded on legitimate trade
unionism.
"The Teamsters are consid
ered just plain suckers by
many of those phony organizers
who get SO cents per head for
new members, and the Team
sters do their dirty work for
them by being go weak as to
refuse to observe their own laws
and thereby recognize the loaf
ers' professional picket line.
'How many quit to help the
Teamsters?" Answer: 'None.'

STRANGE AS IT SEEMS
Calif: ttfsfrj "tf PERFORMED sv
WEDDING ON WAX
Before becoming a Methodist minister. Rev. E. L. Crump was an electrical engineer, so It waa
natural that he should think of recording the weddings he performed. The ceremonies are re
corded on two sides of a 10-inch disc, and a natural break comes at the time the ring Is slipped
on the bride's finger. A few couiles have asked that their nuptials not be recorded, as they
fear self-consciousness, but often they coma back later on their anniversaries to be remarried
and have a record made. Crump's son officiates as sound engineer in the next room.
