Zurich Herald, 1942-01-15, Page 3Says Mr. A. H. Ward, Montreal
Quebec: "The use of harsh, irritating
cathartics is a thing of the past in
our house. When we found out
about 3? LLOGG'S ALL -BRAN,
several years ago, we knew that at
last this was our way to be `regular'.
1've spade it a habit to recommend
ALL -BRAN to my friends."
Why don't you try ALL -BRAN'S
"Better Way" to correct the
cause of constipation due to lacic of
the right kind of "bulk" in your
diet. But remember, ALL -BRAN
doesn't wont like cathartics. It
takes time. Get ALL -BRAN at
your grocer's, in two convenient size
packages, or ask for the individual
serving package at restaurants. Made
by Kellogg's in London, Canada.

SYNOPSIS
Deborah and Stephan spend a
.happy spring, studying, dancing,
But .there is no mention of love,
• be kisses. Angela continues her
warnings. Then one night she
comes home from the movies, tells
Deborah she saw newsreels. of a
recent ]Bold meeting which ended
in a riot, "And who do you sup-
pose was there?"
CHAPTER IV
Goodbye to Dreams
"It was nobody in the world,"
Angela announced triumphantly,
"but your beautiful, golden -haired
Stephan."
The cold cream jar slipped
from Deborah's fingers and shat-
i.c,rell against the leg of a chair.
In a moment, however, she was
able to say with an almost con-
vincing laugh, "Not really? . .
.I'll never: doubt again that you
have second -sight, Angie.
Well, did he get arrested?"
"I don't know: The news flash
didn't last that lor.g."
Angie spoke with heart -felt re-
gret.
Then as she looked from the
gob's of cold cream that spattered
the floor to Deborah, her face
suddenly puckered like that of a
child who knows that he has been
naughty, and her voice went flat.
"I—just thought you ought to
know," she blurted, "I mean—
oh, Deb, I'm so- sorry!"
"For what? After all, the good
old Stars and Stripes still wave,
don't they? . . And now, if you
don't mind finishing the broadcast
from your own bed, darling, 1
Think t'il turn in."
N... •1. M -
ilut after the• lights' were out,
Deborah did not sleep. Instead,
she lay rigid, following with wide
eyes the rippling pattern cast up-
on the ceiling by the headlights of
passing cars.
"Angie," she said suddenly into
i he darkness, "I've been trying to
remember—what was that jingle
the Portuguese fishermen on the
rape used to sing about the fog?"
When Angela only murmured
in drowsy protest, she insisted,
"But of course you remember..
Something about the fog—always
l'laiming it. own, wasn't it?"
"Oh — that?" Angie yawned,
"-Just 'some superstitious 110n1 -
sense. . . , Let's seeL-translated
very freely, it goes something like
• t lis :
"'Ill fated is that which comes
out of the fog, tor' --just a mo-
ment ---`for always in the end, it
!must return whence it came. And
never—' there's some more, but I
r an't recall it at the moment."
"I wonder what it means.' --if
anything,"
" `If anything' is right. For
Heaven's sake, go to sleep!"
But then, all of a sudden, Angie
was wide awake, too.
"What made you ask that,
Debby?" she demanded.
"Oh—why, just something I'd
been reading, I suppose." Deborah
improvised lamely.

Next day was the last meeting
of the Shakespeare! seminar.. .
And next day, Stephan did not
come to Hass at all. IIe had not
made any engagement- with her
-
for -that evening. All the !text
day, while Deborah was >packing
to go home, she listened for the
telephone, thinking that lie would
call—at least to say, "Goodbye!"
But he slid not.
Not that it mattered, she kept
telling herself. Except. that all
along, knowing Stephan had been
like reading a fascinating tale,
which led you on and on without
really telling you much, but which
you followed eagerly from chap-
ter to chapter because of its im-
plied promise of exciting revela-
tions to tonne.. , Well, now the
story had simplyf stopped—with-
out even a "To Be Continued."
There just wasn't going to be
any next chapter. Like some
strange, unknown craft, Stephan
had appeared briefly out of the
fog; and back into the fog he had
vanished,
German authorities have ordered
the Consumers' Co-operative of
Oslo to prepare 90,000 Christmas
packages, This has given rise to
suspiolon 't'inst the Germans arc
planning to repeat the game the)
playett last year when a "Christ -
alas Silt," well -laden with gifts
for German soldiers, arrived with
much fanfare at Oslo harbor, It
was announced the ship had eolae
from Germany, but later investiges
tion revealed that it had taken on ,
its cargo at auottter Norwegian
port.
That Stephan was Gelman, she
had always taken for granted, al-
though he had never said so in
so many words. But, that he could
possibly be all those other things
that Angie believed of flim had
been—just funny—until that eve-
ning when Angie had come home
from the theatre with her mon-
strous story. . . . From any one
hut Angie, the story would have
been incredible; but whatever
might- be Angie's faults—curios-
ity, impertinence, even some-
times malicious mischief — she
would not lie.
Now, Deborah remembered all
Stephan's strange little reticences,
the deft way he had changed the
subject when she had tried to get
him -to talk about- himself, . • . •
And she remembered that other
man—older, harder, even a little
sunless—whom she had some-
times glimpsed beneath the light-
hearted boy Stephan usually=
seemed.
"Victory and security canonly',
be won by a real consciousness of '
what is at stake and of what is
required of each one of us. One
isn't making sacrifices if one's
life goes on as before with what
we are giving not interrupting
that life in any way."—Sir Pat-
rick Duff, Deputy High Commis-
sioner for the United Kingdom.
Admiral Thomas C. Hart
The next morning Deborah and
Angela started back to Cape Cod
in the little cal' they had driven
to California.
The old Lovett house sat just
across the street from the water
front. The opposite lot, running
down to the shore, had been kept
as an open parkway, so that the
early, seafaring Lovetts might al-
ways have an unimpeded view of
the ocean they loved. . . . The
house had been built in the golden
days when Yankee clippets sailed
the Seven Seas, and fleets of fish-
ing smacks still kept the ship-
yards and wharves of the old town
busy.
The structure was of white
frame with green shutters, Orig-
inally a modest two-storey build-
ing, after repeated additions by
generations of Lovetts, it now
rambled th rough unpredictable
passageways and ells, up and
clown steps 1't'otn one level to an -
o then.
Above the fanlight over the
hospitable front door, the winged
figure -head from Great -great -
great -grandfather. Abner Lovett's
almost legendary clipper, the Boar
pie May, still stood guard, a
wreath in one hand a gilded trum-
pet in the other. peering --a bit
self-consciously, it had always
seemed to llt+boi ah ---out to sea.
When you wished to enter the
house, you announced your ar-
rival with a ringing peal on the
old skip's hell over the doorway.
Oii the upper floor, outside the
"Master's room," where I,caett
skippers had slept for generations,
was the "Captain's walk," a semi-
circular glaesed-til Po telt. over-
looking the harbor, neve, De
horah's grand father, Admired Ben-
jamin Lovett, 1J,S,N,, retired, had
stood his last lonely watch.
The long living room, paneled
with mahogany from the cabin of

borate's samplers and hooked
plats, the room had changed but
infinitesimally within Deborah's
memory.
Deborah drove up to the gate
just in time for lunch.
Bridget Lanahan welcomed her
from the stoop with a flirt of her
apron. She was a stout, weather-
beaten woman of 55, blustery as
a Cape Cod gale, with an equal
capacity for high-handed bullying
and loyalty.
"We11, God be praised!" she
paeoned above the roar of the
motor. "Mind the petuny's, Miss
Debby, 'Tis within an eyelash of
thio yer wheels are. . . Leave
the car where she stands, and:,,.

flat entirely."
At Deborah's plate was a heap
of mail. As she rifled through it,
her heart hesitated—then leaped.
Half -way down was an en-
velope ad -dressed in Stephan's
bold hand.
It was a short letter. He had
been unhappy, Stephan wrote, not
to have seen her again. He had
been called away so suddenly that
he had not even had time to tele-
phone her. He had hoped, when
he came East, to call on her as she
had been good enough to suggest;
but circumstances had arisen
which made it impossible for him
to foresee his movements far in
advance. . . She had been ex-
ceptionally kind to him—
Kind! ' Deborah thought. Oh,
Stephan!

Women Workers
Impressed Queen
The King and Queen returned
from their tour of munitions and
ordnance factories in the North '
full of admiration for the part
women are already' playing on the
production front.
What impressed the Queen par-
ticularly was the way in which
women in the tank factories have
adapted themselves to heavy
metal work, showing themselves
es quick and capable as the ex-
perienced men they have replaced.
Another angle which specially
interested Her Majesty was the
"pool" system operating at sey-
eral factories, by which the mar-
ried women can take their days
off at short notice to correspond
with their husbands' leave per-
iods. .

Takes Six Months
To Complete Ship
Parts of }lull Are, Made
inland and Assembled At
Shipyard
Britain's shipbuilders are win-
ning the race. with the U-boats.
Large steamers and motor -
ships of 10,000 tons are now be-
ing completed, from the laying of
the keel to the final coat of paint,
in just under six months. Indeed,
by making parts of the hull and
so on in distant workshops in-
land and assembling them at the
shipyard, the six months have
been reduced to five and a half,
Never before has Great Britain
turned out ships at such a speed)
and it is speed that has decided
the peace -time controversy about
whether the hulls of big mer-
chant ships should he riveted
or welded.
Welding is not only quicker
but it saves steel, so welding has
won. More steel is being saved
by the use of concrete for small
craft. Hundreds of ferrocon-
crete barges have been built, re-
leasing hundreds of skilled ship-
builders from the barge build-
ing yards to work on ocean-going
tonnage.
There they are concentrating
upon the well -tried standard "eco-
nomy" types of vessels which
many famous British shipbuild-
ers had already evolved.
The shipyards were prepared
when war cane for an expand-
ing production. The Admiralty
passed the word to them for so
many tankers, refrigerated cargo
liners, coasters, deep-sea tramps,
and standardization- •

Nazi Air Power
Cut 35 Percent
Many Planes Lost in Middle
East in Addition to Losses
in Russia
Aviation observers estimated
recently that losses in the cam-
paign against Russia have reduc-
ed the German Air Force to about
65 per cent of its peak strength.
They noted in this connection
that these has not been a really
big raid on Britain since the Rus-
sian war began last June 22.
"The German Mr Force is lit-
erally worn out," said a reliable
commentator with excellent sourc-
es of information. "The pilots
are tired and there is a real short-
age of planes in certain categor-
ies, To all appearances the Ger-
man Air Force is just about 35
per cent under what it was, for
instance, when it gave London its
first heavy fire-bomb attack just
a year ago."
in addition to the losses in the
Russian campaign, this source
said, the German's air strength
has, suffered severely in the
Middle East.

ages was supported by a reliable
foreign source who said that, ac-
cording to information just re-
ceived from agents on the conti-
nent, the German High Command
two weeks ago banned the manu-
facture of any new types of
planes which cannot be turned out
in mass production.
But this source warned that
the present German air lull, which
British pilots on patrol over
France have noticed, might only
mean that "Hitler is getting his
forces ready for some kind of
winter campaign. On the basis
of reports of activities in Sicily,
the Peloponnesus and North
Africa, it's a two to one bet it
will be a blitz against the Wes-
tern and Middle llecliterranean."
In this connection the Air Min-
istry news service reported re-
cently that, until the British cap-
ture of the Dema airdromes a
few days ago, Gen. Erwin Rom-
mel, the Axis commander in Lib-
ya, had received gasoline brought
from Greece by plane,
The news service said that the
RAF in the last 38 days had oeen-
pied 39 Axis airdromes in. Libya,
and that the "twisted skeletons of
wrecked aircraft litter every
landing ground."
