SERIAL STORY LUCKY PENNY BY GLORIA KAYE THE STORY: Wealthy Penny Kirk h.n returned from Paris to Kirktov.ii to learn something bout the great steel mills ihr owns and the people who work in them. She gets a job ai wait - rei, under the name of Penny Kellogir. A fight breakt out in the restaurant between a work- man and the Castroi, gang ol Ramblers who prey on the mill- workers. Later she meets Jim Vtckers, local newspaper editor, whom !T- had met in Paris but who doesn't recognize her. On rida he telU her the story ol his life. * TROUBLE'S BREWING CHAI'TKK V Jim studied her upturned, faun face. "An- you very tired. Penny?" "Not a Itit," said Panny, stretching the truth little. "Why?" "I'd like to show you some- thing." By now they were l>ack in the centre of Kirktown, bumping along decrepit Central avenue. Jim steered into one of the side streets, shifted gears and climbed slowly up the hillside. "All this is terrible," said Jim, waving his hand in the direction of the tumbledown shacks. "No one should have to live like that. It's criminal to herd people into such unhealthy holes." At the top of the hill he "top- ped, inviting Penny to join him as he jumped out of the car. "This street"' he said, "\K the only decent street in Kirktown. It's high enough so that the air Is pure and fresh. In summer, cool breezes make life pleasant up here. "There's a iilatean stretching back beyond the Kirk Memorial Building that's big enough to build at leant 500 homes, enough to house everyone who lives in Kirktown now. There's a lot more room for expansion, too. 1 would tear down every one of the sharks along the lower hill. Makc< sll that land a beautiful park, with a l>oulevard winding down through it to the edge of the mill." * Jim studied I .[,-. reaction. He wtis flushed with the excite- ment of his idea. "A model town would pay for itself," he said. "1 know it sounds revolutionary. The councilman and the mayor and the few bui- nwaimen with sense in this town ttiink it's impossible. They laugh at me." "Wonderful!" cnUmsfd Penny. "Make Kirktown a model town. Why not?" "Some day, Penny. I'll show them. I have an idea." He pnux- d, searching for words SURE!

Penny followed the direction of kis fin- ger, pointing at her home, the Kirk estate. "That's where John Kirk lived," she heard him say. "I have a hunch Penelope Kirk will come back there, eventually. Then I'll get my chance to tell her a few things. I'm going to tell her, Penny. Kven if I have to tro back to Kurope- and kidnap her." She started to say, "I'll help you, Jim." Then she clamped her hand over her mouth as if to hold the words in. He studied her, curiously. He was so full of his crusade for a better Kirktown that he didn't notice Penny's embarrass- ment. "You're the first one who hasn't laughed at the idea," he said. "But it's just a dream that sounds good. What could you or I, or anyone else do to make it come true?" "You'd be surprised.' 1 Penny said, finding new courage. Jim Victors), though he didn't know it, had won a powerful ally for his reconstruction program. If Jim could have understood the determination in her chin, and the resolution in her eyes, he might have wondered just what was running through Penny's mind. In the gathering darkness, he noticed only that hc had a lovely profile. "Hop in," said Jim, "I'll take you home." "Thanks," Penny Raid. "You've made my first day in Kirktown a real pleasure." "It's only the beginning," he told her. "I'm going to make it my business to see that every dy is pleasant." The week that followed wan an illuminating one for Penny. She was glad, now, that no publicity had nit. .1.' her return from dis- tant shores. For a little while, at least, she preferred to remain unnoticed. With increasing frequency, Penny observed, the men who fame to Pietro's huddled together in serious conversation. She studied their net faces. "Midge," cho asked one- dny, "is something wrong? Havo you noticed the st rained way the men are acting?" "Yes, Penny," was the ijuiet re- ply. "I've noticed a lot of things in the last few weeks.. There's trouble brewing at the mill." "Trouble?" Penny asked, be- wildcredly. Before Penny could make fur- ther inquiries, Midge had lost in- terest in the conversation. Over Penny's shoulder she grinnr 1 the big smile sin 4 reserved only for Hud Walsh. "Hud," Midge called, "what brings you here so soon?" In her eagerness to reach bin', she drop- ped her towel, and saved herself I'rojn trippiiiir only by n miracle of acrobatic balancing. "Howdy, Midge. Hello, Penny," Bud answered, with . shy wave of his hand. He was lull, husky, handsome. Mis hand 1 ; were the toufrh hands of a steel man accus- tomed to hard work. He had the (jiiiet power that characterized so many of tin 1 workers Penny had Mil t. Penny wailed until Midge was called nwiiy. Then she asked, nonchalantly, "What's new at. the mill?" "Nothing much," Hud asnwcred. "It's always tho same." "Have you been there lonj; ?" Penny asked. "Ever since 1 got through liigh school," Hud answered. "Dad has been with the Kirk mills for 30 years. My brother works there, too." "Do you like working nt the mills?" Penny questioned. "Do I! The Kirk mills arc tops for my money," he said proudly. "Did you know that we made some of the steel for the (irnml Coulee Dam? And some of Dad's steel was used in the Panama Canal." Hud hesitated a moment, debat- ing his next words. "Had says things aren't the same nt the mills now. Not like they were when John Kirk was running things. Old John was a wonderful fellow. He knew every man by bis first name. He often brought his din- NOT EVEN ENOUGH FOR HALF SOLES fj Consider work of Knglish girl repairing shoes. She has only leather enough for patches. ner pail along, and h:ul lunch with the men. "By today's standards," Bud re- flected, "John Kirk would be con- sidered a slave driver. He wasn't, though. He worked as hard as the rest of the men. They liked him and they respected him. And John Kirk always took cure of his men, too. He had a reputation for paying better wages than any of the big mills, and for taking an interest in the fellows that worked for him." "You certainly make the good old days sound swell," said Penny. "Old John Kirk doesn't serin so much like an ogre from your de- scription." "He was a great guy," said Bud. "Ask any of the old-timers. They'll tell you. The mills could use someone like John Kirk now. He understood men as well as teel. The trang that's there now understand' steel only. Morale isn't the same. John Kirk knt>w how to tret his men to work for him until they couldn't lift their hands. That was the secret of his success." Midge wan back now, glowingly happy as ahc always was when Bud Walsh was near. "Break it up," she pleaded. "Give me a chance, Penny." Hut Penny wasn't listening to Midge. In her mind a bold plan was forming. She would need help Jim Vickers* help to exe- cute it. Trouble at the Kirk mills meant trouble for Penny. She wanted to strike at its source.

When Marmalade Was First Made Orange "Preserve" First Made in Scotland In Eigh- teenth Century Newly-wed Mrs. Keillor, of Dundee, Scotland, and her hus- band (they were married in 1700) lived in a modest house. One November morning, a ship from Spain, long buffeted by westerly gales, reached Tayside, and half the male population of Dundee was soon at the ship's si le for news and bargains. Cane sui;ar and bitter Seville oranges had tempted James Keillor above all else. But why so much of both? bad asked his wife, and he !md explained that one could not buy feoods at the quayside in the same way as from a shop, adding, by way of excuse for his apparent lavi?hnes., that both sugar and oranges would keep. But would they? Mrs. Keiller was not so sure. The oranges were, many of them, bruised and certainly not likely to keep. N'or were they likely to be thrown away, now that Mrs. Keillor had taken charge of them. Her mind was soon made up. She would peel them and boil them in sugar to make a preserve just as her mother had shown her how to boil quince and sugar together, mak- ing a sweet jelly that she used to call marmelett. Young Mrs. Keiller was as good a cook as hci mother had been before her, and when the orange pulp that she boiled with sugar had had time to cool and set, it was much to James Keiller's liking and they both decided to call it orange marmalade. The first Dundee orange mar- malade was good, but there was too much of it for the young peole, so their neighbors were given some; they all loved it and they all begged Mrs. Keiller to make some more. And o it came to pass that Mrs. Keiller made more marma- lade every year and James gave up his job and was fully occupied selling his wife's marmalade far and wide for many leagues around Dundee. And when the children born to them grew up, some were trained to make more marmalade, whilst others began to sell it in England an., overseas in the little white poU which are still being sold today in every part of the world. New General Staff For Africa Named Gtneral Eisenhower Will Be Com minder- In Chief Prime Minister Churchill told' tlie House of Commons that as the British Bighttn Army passes into th American sphere In Tun- isia. It would "come under the or- ders of ' :xiunil Eisenhower," the American commander, with Geu- rl Sir Harold Alexander as hia doputy. Besides Alexander, hitherto Bri- tish Middle East commander, as deputy rommander-ln-chiei, these officers also will be under Elsen- hower: AH- Vice-Marahal Sir Arthur Ted- der, air commander in chief for the Mediterranean areia and re- poiisible to Klsenhower for air operations in this theatre. Admiral of tbe Fleet Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham, commander of the U.S. and British fleets In Dlsenhower'a theatre. It Is assumed that Gen. Sir Bern- ard L. Montgomery, British Eighth Army commander under Alexand- er, will remain In charge of that army. British reaction to the appoint- ments was favorable immediately. Keep Those Stamps Working Overtime Canadians are holding about 5,000,000 partly filled War Savings Stamps folders, coi tainlug about 18,000.000 stamps and worth about 14.600,000, says Maclean's Maga- llne. The sooner these folders are filled wid converted Into War Savings Certificates the better, both for those who hold them and for Canada. Stamps do not earn Interest until they have become Certificates, and 5,000,000 converted folders mean $20,000.000 for Can- ada now and $25,000.000 for their holders in "Vi years. Dangers of Gas Attack on Cities Professor J. B. S. Haldanc states in the scientific weekly Nature that the danger of a gas attack on some large British cities 1 is great enough to warrant more j urgent preparations than have yet been made. He admits that if gas bombs were dropped as widely and fitfully as were high-explosive bombs in the Autumn of 1940 the danger would not be great. "But," he warns, "if some hun- dreds of tons were dropped within an hour in :i restricted area they ir.ii'.ht generate a gas-cloud of a liangcrous density."
