Newspaper Page TextLAB By Rene Ryerson Mart "I BELONG HERB, KEN" CHAPTER XII TTNOWINQ the truth dldnt chance essential values. Bar- bee knew she couldn't go to Ken and ay, "It isn't because you're a civilian that I'm ashamed to pre sent you to my family. It's be cause you're illiterate, because you haven't had my advantages, because we don't belong to tne lame world." No, there was nothing to be done about tne nurt sne naa dealt Ken, Barbee decided alter a sleepless night They'd had a couple of dates together, they'd both gone overboard about the other with. out stopping to think first at least she supposed Ken had, too, or else why would her snubbing have hit him so hard? But there was nothing to be done about it. Noth ing. It was a stifling day, heavy with an oppressive heat One of those bad summer days that breed un even tempers, poor concentration, and accidents. Barbee heard the siren of a rapidly approaching ambulance as she turned in at the guard house gate. She pulled tc one side and let it pass. By the time she had parked her car and returned to the guard house to check in for the day's work, the ambulance had picked up its burden and departed. "Who's hurt?" Barbee asked anxiously. "Ken Carter, someone answer ed. "A drum of carbon dropped on him in the furnace room." Barbee stood there for a mo ment with the world blacking out around her. TPHE guardttold her that he'd been taken to Riverview Hos pital. It wasn't very far in dis tance, but it seemed like an eter nity in time before she was park ing the car before tne Hospital steps and flying up them to the broad door marked entrance. It was an hour and a half before they let her go up to the room where they had taken him. She tiptoed in fearfully. Ken, his brown face looking in congruous against the white pil low, seemed to be asleep. "How is he?" Barbee whispered to the nurse in attendance. "His left leg is badly crushed," the nurse told her. "The doctor thought at first 'hat he'd have to amputate but he's going to wait a day" ... "Oh, no no not that " Bar bee cried. There 'was a movement on the bed. "Cut it off no good any way can't get in ihe Army can't fight Ken's voice was heavy with the anesthetic Barbee bent over him. "Oh, don't say that, Ken don't say such things" She was cryini bitterly. . Ken's vague eyes focused slowly pon her. "Barbee what are you doing here?" "What am I doing here?" trying to stdl her sobs. "I'm here be cause I belong here. Ken." What was she saying? It was hadness. But she couldn't fight It any longer this wayward love. She and Ken might belong in dif ferent worlds, but she loved "" Nothing could change that Consciousness quickened in Ken's face. Anesthetic or no an esthetic he could understand that "Say it again, Baby. Say it again!" "I belong here. Ken. I love you." TATER they tallied more calmly. The doctor had been confident and reassuring. "Do you want (to write to your grandmother?" Barbee asked softly. "She ought to know." "No." Ken was smphatic. "It would only upset her. She would n't believe that I'm getting along all right and she couldn't come to see for herself." "Why why not?" "Because, she's paralyzed did n't I ever tell you?" "Oh Ken " "What are you looking at me like that for?" Her voice was small and ashamed. "I've got to tell you. Ken. Even though you'll probably hate me for it I'm a snob an awful snob. I I thought that is, you said your grandmother couldn't write, and I thought you meant she was illiterate. I I thought you were poor white trash from the south." It was his turn to stare. "So that's why you didn't want me to meet your family!" FUNNY BUSINESS "He won't be bothered now with salesmen and bill col lectors till next monthl" GIRL COPYRtaHT. 14. NKA (KIIVICI. INC. She couldn't meet his eyes. "And I thought you were ashamed of me because your brother was in the Army, and I wasn't." "I guessed that yesterday," she admitted. Suddenly he began to laugh wholeheartedly. "I don't see anything so funny - He tried to explain between chuckles. "Don't worry, honey. I can read and write. Maybe I donl talk so correctly you know southern schools are easy-going, but I've had two years of college. I expected to go to night classes while I worked. - That's why I TIMELY NOVELTIES' YOU CAN CROCHET Ji7603 ,by Alice Brooks Yes, you can crochet your own compact case, or one for a friend, making it square or round any size you choose.

Alumina Plant May Be Located in NW PORTLAND, Aug. 17 (if) Donald Nelson, chairman of the war production board, will recommend locating an alumina plant in the Pacific northwest if the manpower situation docs not interfere. So asserted Rep. Homer An gell (R-Ore), quoting a letter from Nelson: "no final decision has been reached regarding this project although it is our pres ent hop to be able to find some suitable location which will al low for the utilization of the ad vantages of placing this plant in the Pacific northwest without incurring further manpower dif ficulties.

There was nothing wrong with his arms. He drew her close to him. "Oh, Ken," Barbee was halt crying. She held him off for a moment "Ken, I'm glad I told you that I loved you before I knew this . . . Remember, you said once you wanted to be loved for yourself." He drew her face toward his. "You've got . something there, Baby." Then he kissed her very, very satisfactorily.
