They make a delayed tart to compete tn aa amateur Ulrnt contest at a wayside night dab. CHAPTER 33X ff ORIS and Care; arrived late at the roadhouse and at once registered In the Amateur Talent Contest, describing their act aa old-fashioned tongs. "With piano telecttont In be tween." added Carey. Remember, nothing stronger to drink than lemonade," cautioned Lorls. aa they found a table near the dance Door. "Darned If I dont bellere I am gettlni stage-fright." laid Carey. "This Is a fine time to make a discovery like that," Lorl retorted. "Just think of yourself as singula tn the room at Pottersplace. and forget all the people. And you might show some llfel" Carey (Tinned. "My little wife sure does like to run thin gal" "One member of this family has to show some spunk." The general dancing ended and the manager of the roadhouse an nounced the amateur program, first Introducing a tumbling act. The lights were dimmed except for a brilliant bulb overhead, which east a pool of radiance In the cen ter of the dance floor. Three young men, dressed sa tramps, not only tumbled, but tangled with a table laden with dishes and glasses. Their act was followed by general relief and a girl who attempted Impersonations of famous movie stars. "If she bad half as much ability as she has nerve, she'd be playing big time," whispered Carey, taking a long swallow of lemonade. Next came a really good dance act by a young team that knew their stuff. They did a smooth ball room exhibition number, a Conga, and their own version of a modern waits. The applause that followed their act was genuine. "They're our only competitors.'' SCARCELY had Lorl put Carey thought Into words when they were Introduced a "Lorena and Lee." They walked quickly to the center of the room. A piano was rolled out so that It stood directly underneath the strong overhead light. "Put a lot of pathos In your songs," Lorl whispered. "Think of sad thing and you can do It." "I'll try my damdeat." Carey mlled at the blur of faces around the crowded tables and spoke clear ly: "Lorena and I believe that averyon loves the old songs. I am going to sing a couple of them for you." "Ooodl" someone called. "The kind Mother used to sing. Oo to It. feUer." Carey nodded to Lorts, she struck a chord and their act was on I It was going over. They could feel It The crowd knew the tongs. En thusiastic voices called for more Carey bowed repeatedly, and pulled Lorl to her feet so that she could take her share of the applause. He found that he was actually enjoy ing himself. Raising his hand for quiet. Carey said: "Pi-lends. Lorena Is going to play you a Strauss waits. You are In for a real treat." VALLEY PIONEER .3 Walter S. Gore, member of one of Jackson county's earliest pioneer families and the first white male child born In the Rogue River valley, celebrated his 80th birthday December S at his home, 1999 F street, San Bernardino, Calif. Present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur F. Sandlln, of the same address; Mr. and Mrs, Walter Mielen and son. Fred: Mr. and Mrs. John Gore and Miss Jeanette Gore. Mrs. Sandlin and Mrs. Mielen are Mr Gore's daughters and Fred Mielen Is his only grandchild. Many friends called during the day to extend congratula tions, and at the close of the evening Dr. John B. Cavltt, pas tor o! the First Presbyterian church of San Bernardino, made appropriate remarks concerning Mr. Gore's life In the com muity. Mr. Gore, who was born in Jacksonville on December 3 18S2, married Carollta Jack, step-daughter of tht Rev. M. A Williams, first Presbyterian mis slonary in the valley. He reared his family in and near Med ford, and in 1928 moved to southern California, where ha hat made v'k'n'sTctt IN THK wave of applause Carey sat down, and Lorl was alone beneath the brilliant light. Bhe played as she never had played be fore, forgetting everything but the Joy and beauty of the music. "Bravol Bravo!" several people cried, when she stopped. "Morel" called others. Lorts whirled about with shining eyes. It was almost like the concert tours of her dreams. The manager smiled and nodded for an encore. Lorl played a mod ern bit that also brought a friendly round of cheers and clapping. She acknowledged it with: "I'm sorry there's not tune for more. Just one final song from Lee and we'll be through." Por his last number Carey sang. "Going Home" Several people hummed It. Borne wept silently. The applause was thunderous. When It wss over. Carey and Lorl were awarded the 450 prise. General dancing began and several people stopped to say flattering things to Lorts and Carey. They felt gay and exhllirated. Soon the young dance couple drifted over to their table. "Let's drink to our successl" said the young man In the team. Tve a hunch that our teams are going to get something out of this amateur business." "I have the same feeling." said Lorls. "You two were marvelous. You simply floated In that ball room number." "You put so much feeling Into your playing," said the dancing girl. "And those songs I I felt all choked up." "What will It be?" asked Carey, looking over the wine card. "Something light for us." said the dancing girl. "How light?" "Wine." decided the dancing girl "White and harmless." Carey ordered a quart bottle, with some sandwiches. Soon the four young people were drinking a series of toasts, as dancers whirled about their table. PIE manager followed them to the door, shaking hands first with Lorls and then with Carey. "You were good." he beamed. "Thank vou." said Lorls and Carey added: "The old songs always go over well." The manager stepped closer, lowering his voice. "Youll be hear ing from me before long. Tve got to put on a few more acta before I decide about engaging anyone reg ularly." "Then we better give you our telephone number." said Lorls. "And your address, too." the manager ssld. "I'll want to notify you by mall In case I can't reach you by telephone." Carey scribbled the address and number on a card. "Here you are." he said. "And thank a lot for giving us a chance." AT LAST Carey and Lorls were In the car. headed for home. Carey drove rapidly for Lorls kept saying she felt uneasy about leav ing Pottersplace for so long. Sud denly both realised they were tired. It was early morning and they were feeling the let-down that follows hours of strain and excitement. Just before turning out the lights Carey looked long at Lorls. "You were wonderful." he told her. "and I am going to kiss you." "The wine again!" said Lorls In a low voice. "Wine, nothing. It's vou. You're decidedly klsaable. and you should be kissed by way of celebration." "Carey please," said Lorls. backing away. Deliberately Carey drew her to him. He held her close. And Lorls did not struggle. Somehow she knew deep down In her heart that being In Carey's arms was lust where she wanted to be. It was the most wonderful thing In the whole world.

SS5J T SYSTEM IS LIKED Plan Which Will Be Adopted By U. S. Early In 1943 Long In Use In Briton. Portland (Spl.) BritU.1 housewives have learned to wel come point rationing In fact, many a Briton calls rationing "fair shares." That is the report of experts from the British Food ministry who have been advising the of fice of price administration. Point rationing, which will come to every American .tome time early In 1943 when War Ration Book Two Is distributed, hat been used in Great Britain since May, 1941, when clothing was put under the point system. Although clothes rationing Is not contemplated at present in the United States, Americans can get a good picture of point rationing in operation from the B itish experience. Only One Restriction British shoppers, are free to choose anything and any style they like the only restriction is the points allowance, which was originally set at 66 points a year and is now 51 points a year. When he goes to his clothier's to buy a new suit, a Briton has to think about two prices, the cash price and the point price. Whether he can afford the casn price depends on his pocket book; whether he can afford the point price depends on how many stamps he has left in his Nation Book. Buying a suit takes more than half of his clothing allowance, for a jacket takes 13 points and woolen trousers takes 11. That adds u. to z poinis of the 51 allowed each year. If the Briton is a wartime Beau Brummel and Insists on a vest, too, he must surrender 13 more precious points. The Briton's w.ie comes om slightly better under the point values on her clothes. She parts with five points for shoes, two Doints less than men's shoes take. She can buy a wool dress with 11 points (and the proper amount of cash) and she can get a sleeveless cotton number with only six points. , Typical Points Here are some typical point values on other women's and girls' clothing: apron-1, shorts-S, wool topcoat-18, slacks-5, woo) skirt-6, night gown-6, slip-4, girdle or pantles-3, stockings-2, anklets. British shoppers quickly found that buying under point ration ing is very simle to understand and even simpler to do. Many ot them discovered that K helped them plan their budgets, be cause they have to plan even more carefully when they spend an allowance of points than when they spend money alone They can borrow money when they get Into a tight financial spot, but they caa't borrow points. The point values of tlM vari ous foods and articles of cloth ing which are rationed aie set by the British government. They are changed from time to time to keep up with changed condi tlons of supply ard demand. For HAP HOPPER.

It was found that bath ing suits, even though they might be an excellent buy for the money had been given a point wlu to high that people did not want to spend precious points to get them. Therefore the point value was redu'd and bathing suits began to sell at a normal rate again. Use American Plan On the other hand, men's trousers had to be raised from five to 11 points, because they were a great point bargain at the lower value and they were selling faster than retailers could replace their stocks. Point rationing in America will follow general principles very similar to these, which have been so successful. There will be differences, of course, for our plan will be an Ameri can plan, designed by Americans to meet conditions in America, .n important difference will be in the rationing of meat When meat rationing starts next year it will be under a point system. Although the British do ration meat, they do not use a point system for it.
