Community Auditorium. NEW HELICOPTER FLOWN General Lemuel C. Sheppard, Jr., commandant of the Marine Corps, recently inspected the country’s new helicopter, a giant, vertical-flying craft, which has been ordeted in quantity by the Marine Corps. The new helicopter is built by the Sikorsky Aircraft Division of the United Aircraft Corporation. Known as the XH-28, the new helicopter is a twin- engined aircraft which is the first of its type to have a retractable landing gear. Its nose opens like that of a flying boxcar and it can carry several vehicles, or as many as 26 fully-loaded soldiers. In the recent demonstration viewed by General Sheppard, the XH-28 Sikorsky carried three jeeps aloft at a rapid pace and ascended almost vertically. It is) thought that the new helicopter can rise vertically from the ground with almost 5,000 pounds of freight in its fuselage. One of the best features of the‘#ew helicopter is its speed, which exceeds 150 myayh., @gqording to re- ports. Although this is slow compared to the speed of air- eraft flying horizontally, it is fast for helicopters, and since they usually are used on only short-distance mis- sions, this speed is considered satisfactory. No doubt the} advent of thea€ thelicopters will once again raise the is- sue of heliconter air mail service, especially in the larger cities. oe There seems to be no reason why craft such as this, which can carry up to 5,000 pounds of mail and rise vertically from the roofs of the postoffices, could not handle much of the short-distance air and first class mail traffic between cities fifty to one hundred miles apart. We predict that sooner or later such a method will be| adopted, with all city postoffices having flat roofs, to be| used by the helicopters as landing fields. Children have to put up with a lot from adults today. Most people don’t have the guts to follow the crowd; does that include you? Every community would be greatly improved if the : people could get public improvements for nothing. |AIDIORS (IDIOT.

That her heart thundered and she felt self-conscious, a little embar- rassed, a little afraid, when Ted walked into a room where she was sitting with Car} When they danced now, of an evening, she and Ted, her senses went on fire, and she couldn't help it. When she thought of Ted going away, going away forever, of never see- ing him again, she felt lost, empty, as if some loveliness wene about to be torn away from her that she could not bear to live with- out. She could not help that feel- ing, either. She asked herself agua and again: Have I fallen in love with Ted? The answer was always no, no. But she did not know if that were the true answer, or if a sense of guilt would not let her face the truth. I'm infatuated with him, she thought That's all it was. Just a crazy infatuation.

But, she didn’t be- lieve him. He didn’t really mean it, she thought. He had said: “I don't want to be tied—I'm rest- less, driven. I want to keep mov- ing on, ee places, trying new things, having new adven- tures... .” And so do 1. It had never be- fore seemed to Jane that her life was narrow, terribly restricted, that she was basically a restless person, that it would wonder- ful to live a roving life, forever moving on, taking root nowhere, belonging nowhere. In these vague, unreal, and quite uncharacteristic wander- ings of 1er fancy (for usually and by nature Jane was a prac- tical soul) this envisioned para- dise with her romantic soul-mate became a kind of cross between a Bing Crosby ballad and an In- dian Love Lyric. Any relation to reality was purely coincidental. It was when she was alone, walking down the street while her dreams marched with her, or lying awake at night, staring un- seeingly into the darkness — it was then that Ted took on all the magic, unbélievably wonderful ualities of a romantic hero, and she gave in to those dreams that lie deep, eager to be awakened, in every woman’s heart, and the thought of leaving the life she knew and folowing this man in- AP Ne Jane's feelings about Carl this period. was 50 mitngi~ | @ person in a trance.

One evening at dinner (they were alone, Ted having been in- vited over to Pauline Clark's), Jane said: “Look, Carl, I'm your wife, remember?
