She had heard so much about his animosity for her that she expected .almost anything to . happen the first time she met him » «seven a flying exchange of paper . Weights and other heavy missiles. But he. made no hostile move ' right then. His broad face, ridged with dissipatién and. cr . by a scowl of habitual t lence, , seemed to be struggling to warp . itself into an unaccustomed smile. The attempt. was only ‘partially successful, but it surprised, Jean almost as greatly as the .words that accompanied it. “Welcome to the graveyard shift,” he said with a funereal kind of gaiety. “Glad to have you working with me—and if there’s ‘any little thing I-can help you with, just giye me the sign.” “Why, thaffks,” Jean said, try- ing to decide whether he disliked her less than she had heard, or whether his unexpected cordiality was just a strategic gesture to disarm her. “I appreciate that a lot—and I‘ll try not to impose on you.” “No danger of that I guess,” he said gruffy, adding in an almost amiable tone, “Don’t hesitate to ‘ call on me; I-think I know enough ; eg this town to be fairly use- ul.” “I'm sure you do—and thanks again,” Jean said. That was her unexpectedly ' friendly introduction to Dawson, and fer the next few nights she saw nothing to alter its apparent promise of cogperation. : Dawson, hunching his big shoulders over the desk as she clipped the New York morning newspapers. for references to fu- ture news events, said little to Jean, Occasionally, he held long conversations on the telephone, but his voice rumbled’on ‘in‘such a low tone that she could not distinguish the words. About three o’clock every morning, when ‘he had finished checking the newspapers, he lumbered out of tHi® office, os- tensibly to eat at a nearby all- night cafeteria.

Among the firms ald local modistes showing “what’s new” in Florida fashions are such out- standing contributors as MarEd Dress Shop, Dolores Thornley Dress Shop, Ruth Baker Jackson Dress Shop, Anipara Lake, Fran- cis Woods, Pollock’s and : the Beachcomber.

H { High School PTA To Present Show | Friday Evening, t ee | lines, By Gene Gleason did not return until 5 a.m., and never offered any explanation for his long absence. Yet he always managed to be in the office when a major local story broke. It was not until weeks latér that Jean learned that Dawson had made an arrangement with the reporter. at police headquarters who called him at some outside number whenever an important story de- veloped. Within a few minutes, Dawson would be back at the city desk, turning out the story. “This is just a cheap stabbing,” he would say, as he tossed a car- bon copy into the basket on her desk. Or: “Here’s a two-alarm loft fire; nothing much outside New York.” Often He said noth- ing; just threw the copy into the basket. Jean, taking nothing for grant- ed, examined all of the stories. She discovered that Dawson’s judgment of their news value was accurate. If he cried down a story, it almost always proved to be too minor for use on the national wire. Date had been working along- side Dawson in comparative harmony for several weeks when she encountered the busiest night she had ever worked. “Good grief!” she exclaimed as she looked at the stack of stories before her. “I’ve got a week’s work here—and it has to go out by 8 this morning.” She wasted no further time on worry, but waded into the stories at top speed, concentrating her entire attention on them. She was hard- ly aware that Dawson was work- ing at the next desk. As for Dawson, he said nothing as he turned out several stories and tossed copies of them into the basket at Jean’s side, Jean, out of sight of the radio wire and too completely engaged to check it if she had cared to, inspected the carbon copies in her basket without finding anything . more startling than a cheap burglary and a two-paragraph brief on a drunken street brawl. Within a half-hour, Dawson went out on his customary long “lunch hour” and Jean noted that the same burglary story was still on top of the pile of carbon copies, ATTAN EDITOR Twenty minutes after Dawson had left, Jean looked up from her typewriter to see the night supervisor of news, Ross Mercer, standing in front of her, He was visibly agitated. ° “Are “you ‘working ‘of that’ Times:Square murder?” he asked her, ring: at the copy in the machipe. His face’ fell, “Ye ‘Gods, Jean—we shotld have had that st a, halg hour ago!. I’ve al- ready had two messages from Chicago and St.- Louis: asking about it.” Jean was too startled to think. “What Times Square murder?” she asked, bewildered. “Mother of Heaven!” shouted Ross, grabbing his head in dis- may. “Haven't you even heard about it? Two bandits killed a cop right after robbing the Ritz Hotel of ten thousand bucks!” He made motions of grabbing at his sparse sideburns. “And you haven't heard a word of it!” “Dawson covers that, but 1 don’t see anything in the basket about it,” Jean said lamely, reach- ing for the carbons in the wire container to verify her statement. She was surprised to find the stack of copy heavier than she had anticipated. The two stories on top were the same ones she had seen previously. But a new one, led off with a bulletin, had been slipped in underneath them. It was the Times’Square murder. The news supervisor; seeing the copy, became coldly furious. “What in the devil are you thinking about, anyhow—leaving that story in the basket?” he up- braided her. “Don’t you think spot news is important? Or would you rather pick it up from the opposition syndicates to be sure it’s correct?” “Drop everything else’ you’re doing and get that story out im- mediately,” Ross ordered. “We're already a half hour behind the competition!” Jean knew, as she fought tears of disappointment and rage, that Dawson had tricked her as cleverly as a card sharp—slipping in an extra ace when the least expected it. But she could see no way to make that explanation seem impressive to her boss, (To be continued) The Citizens Food Committee Suggest: X\ \ Variety meats are much. in the news today, and of course they are nutritionally important yesterday, today and tomorrow.

They have equivalent energy food value. . For new flavor and good eating, try a combination of sliced raw carrots and sliced raw potatoes when you make your next cas- serole of escalloped potatoes.
