A -them," sang the men, the women; .the boys and girls of Clifford, slowly, draw- ing in deep breaths• between the Iines, and itemained standing for instant to let the tide of music ,subside. Those who had seats sat down rustlingly. Timothy rose, went to the front of the platform and stood, looking out thoughtfully over the expectant faces. "Perhaps the best place to be- gin," said Timothy, "is at the be- ginning, eight years ago, when we elected Mr, Wheaton as trustee of the Academy I'm afraid we all just thought that if we elected a rich man as one of the trustees, we could get some money out of him. And using our votes that way, the wrong way, has brought on us a great temptation to do wrong again, this time a wrong we could never set right. Here are the terms of the bequest." He read aloud slowly then, with pauses between the sentences, the letter from Mr. Wheaton's lawyer. "We are offered one million for endowment and two hundred thou- sand for buildings, on three condi- tions: one" -he drew a long breath never to admit to its classes or to give any education to a Jewish stu- dent, the word Jewish being de- fined as applying to a person with any relatives with Jewish blood." He stopped to breathe again, and to straighten his pince-nez, "Two, that the name be changed to George Wheaton Preparatory School." He laid the emphasis on the word preparatory. "Three, that the tuition fee for day stu- dents be raised to not less than $250 a year, but, so the clause in the will reads, 'always making generous provision for scholarships for needy Clifford youth,' and the fee for boarding students to not less than one thousand dollars a year." After letting this sink in, he added more rapidly, "A quarter of a million more either for build- ings or endowment is offered if girls are excluded from the student body but this is not made a condi- tion for obtaining the bequest. ef, it oduy'' i1C) 1#n eu ODUO►THY CAMFasea. • c.FllATh 1R S CHAPTER k Synopeia Timothy Hulme, principal of a good but impoverished Ver. mont academy, lives a studious bachelor existence with only his aunt Lavinia for company. Timothy makes friends with a new teacher, Susan Barney, and her younger sister, Delia. Timothy meets his nephew, Canby Hunter, who goes on a skiing party in bad weather. They run across an ayto acci- dent in the mountains in which Susan is badly injured. Susan gropes her way back to health while Timothy Jealously watch- es Canby. Timothy gets the news that Mr. Wheaton, a trus- tee of the academy, has died of apoplexy, and will leave the academy a rich endowment on condition that its name be changed and that it excludes all , Jewish students. Timothy began to read aloud connectedly, but by the end of the first sentence he was wildly snatch- ing only at the salient word in each phrase, flinging them out Without connection as if he were reading aloud a telegram, "George Clar- ence Wheat found dead - apop- iexy-wi11 leave Acadeihy one mil - lion'dollara for endowment - two hundred' thousand for buildings -on condition name be changed -Whea- ton Preparatory School -also es - elusion all Jewish students -Jewish defined as person with any relative of Hebrew blood -codicil prescribes also that tuition be . ." Mr. Dewey was on his feet, risen to his full height. "What do you say to that, Timothy Hulme?" he asked, his face dark as thunder. "I say it's infamous. What did you think I'd say?" shouted Tim- othy, crushing the letter' together and tinging it down. The old man's face cleared. He took a long step around the table and' held out his right hand. Tim- othy's hand clenched his, silently took the vow with him. Mr. Dewey drew a deep breath and said in a steady voice, "des, now is the time, T. C., for all gopd men to stand up for their country. --But let's get us something to eat first. Pm hollow as a drum." `e "You're welcome to whatever Lottie has left for me at the house. Hash, probably." Timothy's voice sounded odd and far away. • "Hash sounds all right to me." Burt Stephenson stood there by the desk, embarrassed and troubled. Then Mr. Dewey moved forward again, saying over his shoulder, "Well, But, come along with us to the Principal's house, will you?" Your Business Directory MEDICAL DR. M. W.

Stele. In front of the Principal's house, Burt said, hesitatingly, "Say, Mr.' Hulme -well -you see I get twenty- five cents for every news item I send in to the 4.shley Record. I wonder if it would 'be all right ;to . . Timothy turned to Mr. Dewey. "What shall we do?" he asked. Mr. Dewey thought for a mo- ment, and said, "My Great Uncle Zadok always used to tell me; 'What's got to be done Better be begun." "That's so," said Timothy, and went on gravely. "Burt, this is about the most serious thing that ever happened to our old town You're a Clifford boy. It's up to you as much as anybody to belp_do the right thing. Had your lunch? No? Well, go on in the house and telephone your grandmother that you'll have it with us. I'll help you get your news item ready. You'l probably get more than a quartet for it, too." Timothy found the dish of hash in the warming oven in the kitchen started the coffee making, showed Burt where the knives and forks and dishes were kept, and stepped upstairs to speak to Aunt Lavinia He found her about to lie down for a nap, asked her in what he thought, was a quiet casual voice, "All right, Levy?" and told her, "I just wanted to let you know we're back. Mr. Dewey's going to eat something here before he goes home." But after one look at his face, she slid off her bed, crying, "What's happened, Tim? What has happened?" He shook his head, tried to smile. "Tell you later," he said with what he intended to "e a reassuring intonation. "You're hiding something from me, Timothy Hulme," she cried, over the • stair railing. "Some- body has died and you're not let- ting me know." "Mr. Wheaton has died, Aunt La- vinia." a, Halfway down the stairs she halt- ed, astonished ,relieved, resentful. "Why, you crazy loon, that's good news," she exclaimed with her bald disregard to conventional decen- cies. She sat down where she was -looking through the banisters at the three men below. Tiznothy, back at the table, told her curtly, without stopping his famished . chewing and swallow- ing.' "He's left the Academy some money on condition that no Jewish students ever be admitted." "Well, wouldn't ye know the old rascal'd think up some dir-r-rty trick as his last act of life?" said Aunt Lavinia conversationally. She was struck by the trouble in the faces below her. "You're never thinking of taking it!" she cried. Aunt Lavinia stood by the table, putting back the strings of her white hair to peer into his face. "Tim, dear lad ..." her voice was gentle and serious as he had not heard it in years. "Yes, Aunt Lavinia?" "Because you have an old wom- an hanging around your neck like a millstone you're not going to be less than you were brought up to be? Tim, I'd starve rather than stand in your way now." He was pleased with her, kissed her cheek lightly, told her with a smile. "You'll be allowed to starve, Lavy dear, when I do." "Then you'll resign? Oh, Tim! Good for you!" "Resign? Pin not going to re- sign! What makes you think I'm going to take this lying down? We're going to put our heads to- gether this very afternoon. Burt, what classes have you?" "Only a lab period from two to four, but see here. Professor Hulme, you don't mean you're-?" ..You're excused from lab this afternoon for more important busi- ness." said Timothy. Someone was calling to him. Above the- babble of talk on the stairs, Aunt Lavinia's voice rose, shouting, "Tim -o -thy! Canby's here. I've told him. He wants to know can he come up, too?" "Oh, yes," said Timothy. "Sure, if he wants to." Aust Lavinia's small capacity to give attention to matters of literal fact had been used up. But Canby said, "You don't think for one holy second, Uncle Tim, that you can find anybody in this town who'd vote not to take that money?" "Hasn't it ever happened, Can- by, in the history of the world, that people have put their princi- ples before-" "Oh, Uncle Tim, be yourself!" "Professor Hulme, may I ask one question?"

Ten NEN A close watch on the seasonal increase in influenza and on the pos- s,Thie danger of epidemics is being kept by the World Influenza Center in London, which the World Health Organization, a Spe- ealized Agency of the United Nations, established in 1947. Above are shown laboratory experts at the Center inoculating a ferret with garglings received from Yueoslavia. After examination and typing of the virus, the information obtained will be sent to Yugoslavia and det-' of the world incidence of influenza will be made known. your party lots more than it is ours." "Why, we don't hardly ever have any Jews as students, see? Just Jules, and those Hemmerling boys, and Rosie Steinberg, this year. Why couldn't they go somewhere else to school? Good gosh, Pro- fessor Hulme, it'd be cheaper to pay their expenses up in Ashley at the high school and get all that money for the 'cademy!" Mr. Dewey now said with wrath, "Are we a-goin' to be told how to run our business in our own town by somebody that didn't even vote in Clifford -just because he's rich? I'd fight takin' his money if he laid down the law to us this way about anything." "Listen, Burt." Timothy waited till the boy looked' up at him. "If we don't take this money it'll mean that when we're old folks we can look back on our lives and think that we had a chance to prove whether we meant anything when we claimed to be free Americans, or whether it was just talk." The trained instinct of the ex- perienced teacher told Timothy that this was enough. He looked at his watch, said, "Let's get at your news item." The bugle sent its blare down the hill to Clifford and its people, up the mountain to the pine and the spruces, as for the last hundred and eighteen years. But it did not galvanize into startled speed any laggards loitering on their way to assembly. Every student was there ahead of time, and grown-ups too, both men and women, sitting up- stairs in the gallery, downstairs at the back of the bare straight- backed benches where they found some of their youth still left, stand- ing in the doorways and along the hall, The Ashley Record was dis- tributed in Clifford by half past seven in the morning and it was now half past eight, thirty-six hours after Mr. Wheaton's spirit had de parted from the heavy old body so carefully tended by his masseur. Ever since , the arrival of the newspaper the closely woven net- work of telephone wires had been humming stormily in a tempest of exclamations, questions and sur- mises. Now they sat and stood in the assemLly room, a greater crowd than had ever come, even to a commencement, looking up at the Changes in Personnel Of Zone Foresters In Huron District The following changes in the personnel of the Division of Re- forestation, Department of Lands and Forests, Huron District, have been announced as of March 1: L. S. (Larry) Hamilton, who hats been Zone Forester for the Coun- ties of Waterloo, Brant and Went- worth, has resigned and left on March 1 for Ithaca, New York. He has accepted the position of as- sistant extension forester for the State or New York and will work from the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell Univers- ity, lbhaca, New York. Mr, Hamil- ton came to the Huron district in May, 1919. following his graduation in Forestry from the University of Toronto. 1-1'e secured his Master of Forestry degree from the Forestry School at Syracuse in 1950. W. A, G. Thurston, 'who has been Zone Forester for the Counties of Oxford, Perth and Huron, is being moved to the Huron district office and will be Zone Forester in charge of forestry work in the Counties of Waterloo, Brant and Wentworth. Mr. Thurston opened the zone of- fice in Stratford in 1946, and has been instrumental in extending the acreage in the county forests of Huron and Oxford. This past win- ter, he has' given weekly talks on forestry over the radio stations at Woodstock, Stratford and Wing - ham. S. R. C. Hamilton, who has been assistant zone forester at Owen Sound since May, 1949, will take over as zone forester at Stratford. Zone Forestry offices' were first started in 1941. I. 0. Merritt, Die- trict Forester in the Huron district, opened the first office at Galt in the fall of 1941. The zone included ten counties in Western Ontario. Today there are eight graduate for- esters oresters in the Huron ddstriet which also includes ten counties. The in- crease in the number of foresters In the Huron disrtrict reflects the extension of forestry work during the past decade in the southern part of the province. words of America written large in Professor Hulme's square hand- writing on the blackboard at the 'back of the stage, at Professor Hulme standing by the piano, tate harsh sonority of his voice carry- ing his words to the farthest ranks of those standing in the hall. "Our old town and our old school have suddenly been called out from the inlet and peace where they've liv- ed so long, to answer a question of life and death importance to those who believe in the American prin- •iple of equal opportunity for all, and safety for minorities. The fu- ture of our town and of our school depends on the answer we will make at the election of the new trustee two months from now. But before we begin to lay the matter befor you, I think we would do well to sing our national hymn." He sat down at the piano, he sang the first verse with the oth- ers, "My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing." rg p.
