She en veloped Mereditb in a warm nug. "Well. well. Meredith. It's good to see you again." she said and then, holding tier off a little, she added anxiously. "But you're thin, chlldl Have you been sick?" "Ol course not, darling," Mere dith laughed. "I'm strong as a borse." MATILDA sniffed. "Well, well fatten you up a bit.

MEDFORD MAIL AS Evan followed Matilda op the stairs, Rosalie looked at Mere dith. "He's quite something r eta said frankly. "A super-duper. no leas I I could go for him In a Big way. but of course. Ill play nanda off on account of he's vour man." Meredith laughed and put an arm bout this enchanting girl who wu the little sister ahe bad teen so rarely In the last few years. "Come along with me while I re move some of the soot and grime," she suggested. ahe led the way op the stairs to her room. "Tell me about yourself. What sort of things do you find to do In River Gap?" she said. . - "It really is quite a dump, frnt It?" Rosalie said cheerfully, estab lishing herself In a white wicker chair. "But It hu Its momenta nowadays. There's an army Base a paratroopers training station three miles out. Six hundred men all young and swell and full at ambition. You have no Idea how that's lifted the morale of the gals In town I" Meredith grinned at her. "And your morale quite as much as the others?" "More." said Rosalie frankly. "I have put my Indian brand on one of 'em a tall, dark and devastat ing lieutenant a pilot. He takes the lads up and finds places for them to heave-ho and see If their parachutes work. He likes mel" "111 bet he doesl" said Meredith, latuhlng. "And do you like him?" "Oh he's quite a lad!" admitted Rosalie, flushing a little. "Of course, being practically the best-looking thing that ever drew breath, the competition Is pretty terrlfle. All the other femmes In town and for miles around, practlcallyl are heaving themselves at his head un til the poor lamb's groggy. 80 I have to play hard to get. to keep him Interested. It keeps a girl step ping lively!" T can Imagine." Meredith agreed, amused by this pretty Uttle sister. 1 SUPPOSE you have to fight thg gals off Evan with 1 stick, too?" suggested Rosalie brightly. "With a hospital full of nurses, to say nothing of adoring patients, yon must have had vour hand full!" "No. not particularly. Evan and I are well, modern. I suopose." "Meaning you trust each other Imnllcltly and are never lealous?" demanded Rosalie, frowning. "Something like that. I suppose," Meredith said. Rosalie considered It for a mo ment, and then she Jumped to her feet. "None, r wouldn't like that." she said Hatly. "I like all the chills and fever that go with being in love Sometimes I right with Tim and make him absolutely miserable be fore I forgive him ust because making up Is such fun!" Meredith said swiftly. That sounds pretty-rotten. Why should you get a kick out of torturing a man. If vou love him?" Rosalie chuckled. "Oh. It keeps Mm In line! If ever I let him see how crazy I am about him. I'd lose the er lure of the unattainable and he'd be off after anme other femme who kept him guessing! It's my system and so far. It works swell!" Meredith stared at her hard, finding that she did not like this young sister quite as well u she had thought, nor did she find her quite so enchanting. Such an Atti tude toward a beloved seemed to Meredith cheap and cruel. ITo be continued!

F. 01 SIDESTEPS DIRECT REPLY ON 4TH TERM PLANS President Willing to Give Long Review of Adminis tration Accomplishments Washington, Dec. 29 U.R) President Roosevelt turned aside a direct news conference ques tion yesterday about his fourth term plans, but at the same time he gave a lenuthy review of the accomplishments of his admin istrations and explained why he wanted to abandon the phrase "new deal. He said it came down to a rather puerile, political side of things, but after all some people had to be told how to spell cat. Therefore, he added, he had Jotted down a lot of things that people of this type had forgot ten. They add?d up, he said, to the fact that the new deal came Into existence originally because there was an awfully sick pa tient the United States suffer ing from on internal disorder. Smashup In 1941 They, meaning the people of the United States, sent for the doctor in 1833, he said, and through nearly 10 years of treat- ment'the Ills were remedied. But on Dec. 7, 1941, the country suf fered a severe accident a Se vern smashup. The patient, he continued in an allegorical vein. suffered a broken leg and a bro ken arm and other injuries. Since old Doctor New Deal was a specialist In treating Inter nal disorders, he had to call In Doctor Win-lhe-War for surgical help. Then the president listed 30 specific accomplishments of his administration. . He followed this by stressing that all emphasis now should be on wlnninK the war, and that when victory is won a new post war prog' am should be devel oped and tied in with events in othei countries. It will not pay to go in for economic isolationism than to go in for military isolationism, he added. On the Radio Chains .
