SERIAL STORY LUCKY PENNY BY GLORIA KAYE CASTRO AGAIN CHAPTKK Vllf For her visit to the Kirk mills. Penny borrowed a slack .suit from Midge. With a dinner pail under er arm and a pass clutched tight- ly in her fingers, she joined the men who passed the gate watch- man on their way to start the 8 o'clock turn. Against the vast background ol the mills, she felt tiny, lost. She didn't know which way to turn. The men studied her curiously. One or two who knew her tipped their Boiled caps and smiled hello. Wide-eyed, Penny sui-veycd the strange new world of furnace* and ladles and scurrying railroad ears loaded with precious molten steel. Occasionally, guards chal- lenged her. When her credentials satisfied them, they were helpful in directing her, serving ua guides and answering her questions. The mills stretched in an end- less maze along the river. Penny was fascinated as she watched the proccsse" of steel making. When the noon whistle blew, she was al- ready tired, her feet protesting against the extended hike. * * Men poured out of the mill-:, seated themselves on piles of lum- ber, and opened their lunch kits. Penny was due for a pleasant sur- prise. As hc scurried across a railroad siding, sin- liter;il : y bumped into Rud Wal.-h. "What in heaven's name are jou doing here?" Hud demanded, when the first shock of meeting her had ended. "It's lonesome at the Courier office," she told him, "no I thought I'd come over here to have lunch with some of the hoys." "Glad in have you with us," Mud said, warmly. "Come on over and meet the gang." Delighted, rfie shook hands with his friends. "Mind if I join you?" she asked. "Not at all," they chimed in. One of the men dusted off a plucn on the lumber pile with the back of his glove. "It feels good to sit down," sho said. "I've been wandering around for hours." Happily, she opened the lunch box. The sand- wiches Midge had made tasted good. She gave Hud one of the pears packed neatly into the kit. "You're not going to go wrong n Midge," Penny assured Bud.

She \vas treated as one of the gang from that moment on, sharing in their chatter and in their joking. The whistle signalling their re- turn to work blew all too soon. * # * Penny returned to the Courier office to write her first story about the Kirk mills, a light, per- sonalized feature story in which she stressed the good humor of the men. Jim WHS encouraging, helpful. He took time off from his proof-reading to suggest a good lead paragraph. Poth of them were absorbed in their work when they heard heavy footsteps clonip-iiig down the stairs. A heavy-set, short, swarthy man walked in. He held a rolled sheet of paper in his hund. "Hello, Vickers," he scowled. "1 want to see you, alone." "Hello, Castro," Jim replied, coolly. "Penny's my partner. She's just as interested as I am in any- thing you have to say." "Okay, Viekers," Castro an- swered, "I want to run a full- page ad in your paper this week." Then he pulled a roll of cur- rency from his pocket, peeled off 10 bills, and lined them up on the counter. Kach had a value of $100. "What's this, Castro?" Jim axked, ..,; :l . "That's payment for my ad," the gangster replied, impatiently. "A thousand dollars." "Our rates are the same for everyone," said Jim. ''.Just $50 a page." "I know thut," Castro jtiuwercd. "I just want you to know that 1 like you, that's all. It's yours. No strings tied." "Castro," Jirn told him, with ice In his voice, "You're a swell guy and I like you too. Bui. I'll give you just 10 seconds to get out of here and stay out!" * * Dynamite blazed in Castro'* flushed face. Penny could see his fist* clench. Then he calmed down. He picked up the money Jim had rejected. "Vickers," Castro said, "There isn't room in this town for the two of us. I'm warning you. One of these days I'm going to blow you and your fly-hy-night, rap io> high they'll never be able to put the pieces together again." He turned on his heel and swung out through the' door and up the stairs. "Good for you, Jim," Penny said, finally. "I know you're not just making a noble gesture. You could u.se that money." .Tim smiled wrily. "I'd rather IP broke," he said. "Keeps me out of mischief." "Castro isn't thn kind who throws money around promiscu- ously," Penny cautioned. "He means husinew. You're a real threat to him. I'd watch out if 1 were you." "Don't worry, Penny," Jim an- swered, grimly. "I've met his typo before. In Paris they were a lot marter, a lot tougher, and a lot more dangerous. He's right when he said then- isn't room enough In this town for both of im. I don't like rats." In silence. Penny returned to her story. It was. tough work, but when nhe had finished, *he knew instinctively that nh had done a good job. * Penny would never forget the Thursday afternoon when her first story waH published. She would always remember the thrill of watching the prens roll nlowly into action. Then Joe, the press- man, lifted a pajre still wet with ink. She uw her feature 'in- blazoned on the front pnifei There, too, wan Jim's editorial alongxidc his story of the fatal bridge accident. He hadn't pulld any punches. Involuntarily, Pon- ny shivered as she thought of the reaction his words would provoke among Kirktown's politicians. That first insue, together with her firM. pay cheque, Penny put aside an rare fully ns though they were her most trenail red posses- sion*. She would iilw;m rherlsli rhm. Now Penny learned the joyi that every creative artist must feel. Her mill story had caught the attention of many eyes in Kirktown. People went out of* their way to meet her. Khe was as much at home now as though she had lived in Kirktown all her life. The days ahead were busy ones. Penny was happy in her work. Her first mill story began a series of new adventures for her. Kvery department in the mills had a wealth of story material. Sho visited the teeming, busy little mills so often that she was soon a familiar figure to the hard- working steelmakers. She wrote about their hobbies. Many of the men were inventors. Some had traveled extensively, and they reported interesting ex- periences. Every week, she learned more, too, about the grievances that dis- turbed the men's morale. They were petty things, mostly. Ideas, she found, were sarcastically re- jected. Men were discouraged from trying new methods nnd new techniques. Despite the modern facilities in- stalled in most departments in the mills, there were still a few places where safety devices had been neglected. There had been nasty accidents. * M;;ny of the foremen and su- perintendents were hardbitten, ar- rogant. They aroused. resentment rather than loyalty. Then, too, Kirktown offered little recrea- tional outlet, and the workers had little incentive for self-improve- ment. All these things and more Penny discovered in her conver- sations. She found out, too, that in the men who worked in the Kirk mills there was the founda- tion for progress and growth. Steel making coursed through their Wood as much as printer's ink had begun to run through her veins. The time was coming, soon, when Penny must make her de- cision. Should she take an active part in management of the mills? Should she shoulder the problems she knew existed? How would fie Kirk executives react? And how would tough, independent, scrap- py .sti'clmen feel about working for a frail girl who was a tiny- mite by comparison with them? She pictured herself disciplin- ing n triant worker towering above her. "Hm." she said to herself, laufrhinjr inwardly, "It might be fun at that." (Continued Next Week) TABLE TALKS SADIE B.

Macaroni Batting For Meat Beef and pork arc primarily protein foods, while macaroni, spaghetti and egg noodles are auper-rich in carbohydrates and are usually regarded as the "<m- ergy trio." But you mu^t re- member that each member of this "energy trio" is also rich in pro- teins and that with the aid of comparatively small quantities of the cheaper meat cuts, or left- over meats, delicious and nourish- ing one-dish meals may be pre- pared. Thus macaroni, spaghetti and egg noodles are ideal pinch hitters in the game of war, short- ages, and nerves. Compare the cost per pound of your favorite meat, with the cost of a pound of macaroni, spaghetti or egg noodles. Then glance over the following recipes ana see how far this "energy food" will stretch when used with fresh or left-over meats, or chicken and those necessary vegetables. Thrifty Macaroni Treat Patriotic housewives waste no meat. Here's a favorite way to combine left-over meats in a tasty, economical and generally popular dish: Vi lb. elbow macaroni Buttered bread crumbs 1V4 cups ground left-over meats Pepper and salt Grind meat and add seasoning. Cook macaroni in 1 quart of water or stock that is boiling when macaroni is added. Stir until all liquid is absorbed. Sea- ion macaroni and meat to taste. Make a layer of half the maca- roni in bottom of a shallow, greased baking dish; then add a layer of meat and finish with the rest of the macaroni for the top layer. Cover with buttered bread crumbs. Bake in moderate oven until crumbs are brown. Makes 4 good sen-ings. Cost is almost insignificant. Spaghetti-Chicken Chop Suey Here's a United Nations' dish that warrants popular acceptance in war or in peace: "i lb. spaghetti 1 cup mushrooms, chopped 1 cup cooked chicken, minced 1 Bermuda onion, minced 1 cup celery, finely shredded 1 cup chicken stock or liijuid Cook spaghetti in l^s quarts of boiling salted water. Drain, but wive surplus liquid. Kei-p spag- hetti hot. Add to the surplus liquid, the chicken stock, shredded celery, minced onion, chopped mushrooms and minced cooked chicken. Cook slowly till mixture becomes "creamy." Place hot spaghetti on platter, niaW'.ig a nest in centre into which is poured the hot meat-vegetable mixture. Season all with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with Soy Sauce. Makes 4 generous servings. Cook- ed veal or other left-over meats may be substituted for the chicken If desired. Noodle-Egg Pie* Here's a meat-saver that is long on flavor and nourishment, but short on cost: 2 heaping cups boiled egg noodle** eggs Cream, butter, salt and pepper Boil egg noodle* in a small quantity of water so that when done all liquid will be absorbed. Grease large muffin pans and fill the cups with egg noodles; form Into a nest with noodles extending above the rim. Into each nest break an egg. Place on PKK a tablespoon of cream, a dab of butter, salt and pepper to t.iste. Bake in- hot oven, (400 degrees) until eggs are set.

Feelings of German People About War The information in letters fonnd on the German dead, inti- mate, and personal ns it is, leads to some striking deductions, writes Maurice Hindus in The American Magazine. The people inside Ger- many hate the war and want it to end. They are tired of hard- ships, sick of sacrifice. They la- ment the moral disintegration f their young women; they shudder at air raids; they weep over their dead. Hut nowhere do they be- tray the least suggestion of Ger- man guilt or regret for horrors which the German urnticR perpe- trate. Hard as is their life, thoy know neither starvation nor despera- tion. Nor do they expect Ger- many to lose the war. To expect them at this time to revolt against Hitler is ns futile and puerile as to expect tho Kuphrcr to live up to his promises or treaties. Uiuries of tho (Scrmnn dead, particularly Nnv.i officers support these conclusion:!. Tho lJu. ir-is have gathered thousands of these.

Reliable reports from Germany declare that production has been dropping gradually since a peak was hit last May and that in the last two months the decline has been accelerated. The inefficiency of foreign labor is said to have been especi- ally disappointing to the Nazis. This combined with heavy Ger- man losses at the fighting fronts, has forced Hitler to declare "total mobilisation" and to strike a care- ful balance between the urgent needs of the army and war in- dustry- Keeping the wheels moving with untrained personnel, especi- ally women, is the Nazis' main problem. Forty thousand work- ers' training schools have been established and Speer has ap- pealed for the good will of both workers and employers. Hitler, however, is not hand- ling the situation with kid gloves. He went out of his way in a' re- cent address to warn of death to "saboteurs." Broadly, this means that every obstructionist is sub- ject to execution. GARDEN NOTES By Gordon L. Smith Food is just us important as bullets in this war, and for that reason gardening may almost bo classed as an essential industry this year. Seeds aro not going to be plentiful because formerly Canada depe ided to a large ex- tent on Europe for supplies and these, of course, are cut off. Principal sources now are from those limited sections of Cana.la where garden seeds are grown and from the United States. In both areas the weather was very un- favorable last season due to the fact thut there was too much rain at harvest time. Canadian seedsmen, however, have been able to secure supplies sufficient for normal needs if these are used carefully. There will not be the wide range of varieties usually obtainable, but in standard lines it is expected that there will be enough to go around. Gardeners, however, are advised to order seeds early and to avoid any waste. * In vegetables especially, begin- ners are urged to follow planting directions carefully, and to sow as thinly ns possible. It is also important that the garden soil be well prepared, and at least a por- tion of the garden planted early. To get maximum results one should spread plant ings over sev- eral weeks. This will assure more protection against early frost and will also give a large total yield of vegetables. Those gardeners with very small areas of land at their dis- posal are also urged to concen- trate on those vegetables like beans, carrots, beets, spinach, etc., which give the largest possible yields for the space occupied. Things like corn, potatoes, squash, etc., take up far more room, nnd where space is limited, it is ad- visable to purchase these from regular sources and to grow the smaller things in the home gar- den. * Scientists have been giving us many improvements in vegetables. Their work has been carried out in two directions; first, the in- troduction of vegetables unfamil- iar to most Canadians and, second and probably more important, vast improvement in those varie- ties that have been grown in this country for years. Corn is a good example. At one time it was possible to get only one variety of Bantam. Cobs were short and the season also. Now there are offered three or four different Bantam types, some extra early, some regular season, some late. Cobs have been lengthened, kernels made bigger. One can enjoy the finest table corn for over a month instead of but a week or two as in the old days. Lawn grass must pro in early aa most growth is made when the weather is still cool and wet. . After digging, the ground should be allowed to settle for a few days at least, and then levelled again. It is advisable to repeat this process several times. The top soil should then be raked fine and on a day without wind the grass sown at a liberal rate, once across and once lengthwise. This double sowing insures an even distribution. For permanent lawns of deep green color nnd fine texture, high quality seed frotti a reputable Canadian seed house is vital.
