Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1942 Lorls Barmen hu tone to New York In March ol a saosleal career, but finds the going dim cult, as doe Carer Canon, young would-be architect. Their meet, become friends, and bear of Bo und Potter, wealth? old bachelor, who wanu to help a worth room couple b paring them to act as caretakers on his Long Island ci talc Lorls and Carey marry temporarily, on a strictly business basis, to get the Job. They are hired. Potter leaves on a cruise, and shortly after they re settled, they meet Iris Wren ahaw. beautiful and wealthy, wit takes a faney to Carey. He re sponds, because he thinks she may help him with his career as an architect. Iris takes Carey to New York In her ear to look over her drawings for s proposed real estate venture, but she promises to ret him back home In time to keep bis appointment with Lorls I a wayside night club, when they hare a singing and playing engagement to five them extra money. CHAPTER XVm AS IRI8 and Carey drew nearer to Llndenbrook, Lorls grew more and more im patient. It had been the long est day of her life, and during ltd dragging hours she had nearly worn herself out with thinking. She had practiced as long as she could make herself alt at the piano; and then had tried to occupy her hands If not her thoughts. Over and over again she told herself that Iris Wrenshaw wag the girl Carey should have married. Yet how could he possibly have mar ried Iris without knowing that she even existed? Now that Carey nod met Iris, it was-up to her to step aside the moment their summer of work at Pottersplace was ended and Insist that Carey have his free dom, so that he could marry his and become the successful archi tect he wanted to become. Finally Lorls decided to have a heart -to- heart talk with Carey Maybe if he understood that she didn't Intend to hold him after the summer was over, he would be less restless. Poor Carey Carson, mar ried to a failure of a pianist, while longing to give Iris Wrenshaw his entire time and thought! Five o'clock els seven. Still no Carey There was no train now un til after eight. If Carey came back at all. he would have to rush to get ready for their trip to the road-, house. It lust proved that no man can resist the combination of afflu ence and beauty. Iris had them both and Carey had evidently forgotten everything else. He might at least have some consideration for the girl who had married him so that he wouldn't have to go hun gry, and sleep on park benches, wrapped up in old newspapers. At eight Carey came barging m, out of breath. "Sorry I'm late, Lorlgt But we had a blow-out." ' "Really?" 'oris shrugged. "At least Miss Wrt ihsw was original." "What do you mean by that?" They usually run out of gas." "Good grief, you dont think she had a blowout on purposel" 1WAS only kidding you." Lorls started toward the kitchen. Tve eaten. You better hurry, If you want to make your debut at the roadhouse tonight." "Frankly. I'm not keen about It but I reckon we could use the fifty" "Certainly we could." Lorls stood tn the doorway. "Why this sudden change? You were all enthusiasm last night " "I dont know exactly," said Carey, uncomfortable. "But It seems so sort of cheap singing and playing In a place like that." "What of It? No one knows us." "Yes. out If we were to sing In a country club It wouldn't be so bad." "Has Iris Wrenshaw anything to do with this sudden feeling about cheapness?" "In a way. yes. Through her I can make some worthwhile contacts." "And singing in the roadhouse might hurt your chances? Is that It?" "Yes, Lorls to put It plainly. It la." "I see." Lorls wss thoughtful. "But dont you think you ought to consider me?" "I do consider you." Carey pro tested. "I'm not so keen about hav ing you play in the Joint." "I don't mind a bit. I've no social contacts to keep up and I need the money. It's cash I'm after. Carey and I intend to get It. You went Into this agreement with both eyes open, and so did L" "Okay, okay." Carey said, trying to grin. "Don't get all wrought upl" "I'm not getting all wrought up. But it's certainly not very comfort ing to have you suddenly decide that our plan Is cheap." "I didn't say the plan was cheap. I said the roadhouse was." "Well, whatever you said not having you enthusiastic about singing and trying to win the prise takes the Joy out of it. And after all our rehearsing tool" "Well go through with It," Carey said. "After all It's only for one night." "Suppose we get a chance to sing and play nightly?" "That's another one of those bridges we'll cross In the future." "Meaning you might turn down the offer?" "I might. It depends a lot on how my plans with Iris come out." HI" said Lorls. Just ons little V word, but it was like a cry She teas hurt. "Very well," she said, "let's leave It that way. Only It seems to me that you might make Iris Wrenshaw understand that your summer Job at Pottersplace comes first. You owe that to Mr. Potter and to me. You and Iris can go on with your plans when aut umn comes and I'm no longer in the picture." Carey tried to think of some thing to say. and couldnt. When lorlt teas out ol the picture. He didn't like the sound of the words not a bit. 8uppose he and Iris did make a success of their project and perhaps marry and continue their lives together. What of Lorls? Suppose she failed with her music what then? Back to the stuffy old rooming house: back to the days of climbing stairs looking for work. "Just what are your plans for the fall?" he asked. "Suppose yon dont succeed with your musle. . . what will you do?" "I can always go back home and teach piano lessons. Not a very glamorous prospect, but It's better than starving." Lorls looked Carey directly in the eye. "I've done a lot of thinking today." she went on. "and several times It occurred to me that going back home, glamor ous or not, would have been the sensible thing far better than ty ing you up In this outlandish mar riage." "It's not outlandish!" "Well I don't know what yon call It," Lorls retorted. "However, since we're in it, I'm willing to stick It out, and to do my part. I'm also willing to take on some outside duties, like appearing In the road house. If It means extra money." "You are a mercenary gal, arent you?" said Carey. "I certainly know what It's like not to hare money " Lorls looked at her watch. "Oood heavens! Look at the timet Eat your supper or dinner or whatever you want to call It. IH run up and dress." "Funny thing." Carey said for lornly, "but I seem to have lost my appetite." "It's lust an attack of stags fright" "8tage-frlght. my eye!" "Better wear your white flannels and dark coat," Lorls called, as she hurried up the stairs. "They'll look well In the spotlight." "Hurry, Carey I We can use that fifty." 'To be continued!

STRANGE AS IT SEEMS Women Play Front Role In West's Switch To War Life : - San Francisco (U.P) The most drastic change In civilian life In any period in the West's history is currently taking place, due to the military super-government of the Western Defense Council and the sudden and tremendous need for labor on the part of shipyards and airplane plants,, a survey by the United Press showed today. Women are In the forefront of the complete transition that 1042 has brought Another highlight of the change is the reversal of normal advertising trends. Railroads, transportation, telephone and public service companies now advertise to avoid all possible business. Landlords instead of advertising vacant premises now compare the various rewards of fered by would-be tenants for Information leading to a place to live. These bonuses, spread over many columns daily, us ually range between $10 and $25. Here are some examples of the current Ladles Day in the Far West: In Salt Lake the ladles now hold the revolver-end-flashlight Jobs of nlghtwatchmen and spec ial police. - Sixty of them are driving taxis. They're selling shoes, too, and wearing slacks while doing It because of the low-style seats. In the railroad yards at Poca tello, Ogden . and Salt Lake through passengers on the trans continental trains stare curiously as husky overalled women arm ed with a wad of waste in one hand and a large wrench In the other, take over the train servic ing and car repairing; testing wheels and brakes. ' At Mount Vernon, Wash., a girl quit a career as a newspaper woman to drive a milk delivery truck. In San Francisco women are employed as "motor ladies" by one street rahway system, and as conductors by both. The Muni cipal lines doesn't use them on the front end as yet; ' we re afraid they might still be too much interested In having their own way at the intersections,"! was one explanation. In San Diego, .which has grown from a 1940 federal cen sus of 202,000 to more than 500,- 000 so far this year, women rep resent a large part of the popula tion increase and throng the city's streets in slacks, going to and from the giant aircraft fac tories. Most of the slacks are uni form; the aircraft companies re commend but do not insist upon a choice of two grades of neat uniforms for female employes. In Portland, the fabulous world-record shipbuilding yards of Henry J. Kaiser are advertis ing for used cars and women to drive them. Men still hold down most of the new Jobs here due to the advertising and labor solici tation conducted in New York by the Kaiser organization and the special trains run direct to Portland shipyards from the East. Sixteen thousand men ar rived In a period of two weeks as a result of this Eastern re cruiting campaign; 70,000 addi tional workers in all have come to Portland so far in 1942 and an additional 36,000 are being sought., Newspaper advertising takes unprecedented turns. Here are some samples: "Please postpone your week end trip to Los Angeles, thereby avoiding the possibility of being stranded and unable to return in j x ...jt i . ; ... a ' s-a. rfl 1 J ' -: . COMRADES IN HONOR These two American soldiers, friends from boyhood, who Joined the Army the same day, trained in the same outfit, were wounded in the same engagement and are now lying side by side tn Welter Reed Hospital, Washington, proud poa sessors of the Purple Heart, the War Department has announced.
