THE FAIRFIELD RECORDER. FAIRFIELD. TEXAS. JUNE 20, 1935
THE COUNTY
Ik.
I T WAS the glamorous night of tholr
J rediscovery. They had been Inter-
rupted In the garden and so were danc-
*"* “Kala. two people who Invited ador-
h>B eyes for their youth and meant-
■ess for each other.
He wua rowing that this time It must
aot be too beautiful to Inst with this
woman who had been his wife.
He found himself mistaken In the
thought that he had remembered how
Tivld, bow utterly deMiruble she could-
be. Her gown, shimmering In the old
mysterious way, reminded him of hla
loneliness the last empty year for just
the Intimacies of her belongings.
There was still that look of Inter-
eepted flight In her eyes. No one, noth-
ing, had taken that away. It was so
peculiarly hers he wunted It to stay
forever.
At this Instant, In a way that had
•nee teen most marked between them,
their thoughts met contrariwise.
“This time you must clip my wings,"
•he said with relied rapture.
He hesitated. It was still difficult to
touch the past lightly.
"You said they were powerless be-
fore." He spoke as If it were some-
thing he must now have only drenmed.
“I go over and over the things I
■•Id. How can you still care?"
“How could I not care? You are
■nconquerable In my heart" He ap-
peared to be viewing mentally some-
thing lovely und quite upart from them
both.
He was recalled by the bafflement In
ber eyes and remembered Instantly how
she used to say she never really knew
what was hack of his eyes when be
looked away like that. Again there
was her old demand In the glance she
gave him, saying so plainly that she
»ust know. It had the old effect of
producing helpless silence on his part
This would not do.
He looked down at her In tender,
anxious concern.
"Out in the garden you said . . ."
•he hesitated as If savoring something
be might, under pressure, repeat.
There was a alight groping silence
•n Ids part.
“Say It again," she pleaded. This was
▼cry great condescension from her. His
very amazement made him powerless
■ow to break a silence so seemingly
Imposed by some cautious angel.
“Oh now I know." she snld, n gen-
tleness breaking over the rebellion In
ber eyes ns she looked up Into his.
“You always told In little continual
ways. The big moments were very
rare. Very waited for.”
“Always wait, Tawny Lily.” he
begged, Ids voice rough with rushing
tenderness. “So much can only be lived
and looked."
People were wntchlng them Intently.
H was the llrst time they had met since
they parted. He saw that she was
swiftly, cleverly, appraising what she
read In eyes everywhere as they moved
effortlessly through the crowds. Final-
ly she said, “They think they are see-
lag an attempt to play with you again."
“'All the world may stare—he
quoted with contagious sufficiency.
The misted meaning In her eyes
made him forget to go on. Instantly,
thrtlTIngly, she took him off guard by
CMtfanlng what he supposed she would
bave forgotten.
“‘You and I are bound together
aaf"
There was suddenly a look of ap-
palled surrender In her eyes before In-
credibly, her precious, proud head
bowed swiftly on his shoulder, ne was
unprepared for the tenrs crowding un-
der her lashes, ns he guarded this, his
great moment of pride, and hers of
such complete surrender, by guiding
ber towards the garden agnin.
Secure In the dimness blurred with
white cherry blossoms, she said:
“I’ll never do thnt again. I’ve
shocked even myself. Now there will
b« nothing piquant about me for you
ever any wore."
( “TPawwnderful to have you say things
you don’t mean when you shouldn't
mean them," he told her gravely.
, “l had to tell you."
. "And I had to know!” He was think-
ing thnt she had always really been
-itm hlui. She confirmed this with her
next1 words.
“Now T have clipped my own wings,
•ml gladly, for you. Always I’ve been
• little afraid of the restlessness In
them anyway."
» He drew n branch of white blossoms
down around her shoulders nntl then
startle* wMh the effect, looked at her
latently.
‘ITAcie will always he n hough wait-
ing for the sweetest wild wings In the
world Only remember your way home,
mj dear!"
“And you would star It with flowers
tor »e! I can see that In your eyes.
Even nfter saying 1 was already too
tired and frail to he windblown or
Strennillne That 1 should be yours."
With one hand h • held the blossoms
vtoser about them and with the other
drew n sprig across her eyes for a
Moment to veil the sweetness there
wiilh bn made a secret petition that It
Might always slay.
••There was one white petal fell on
your Italr »» > " bls-cd " l"
tb<-re," she told him with s queer little
Mict of reverence.
“They would all fall on you If you
k)s# ine- -ngMlo/ la* promised.

“Daddy, I know how to do every-
thing,” said the little boy of five.
“What I don’t know isn’t worth
knowing,” said the young man of
twenty. “Well, anyway, I know my
trade from A to Z,” said the man
of thirty-five. "There are very few
matters, I am sorry to say that I
am really quite sure about,” said the
man of fifty. “I have learned a bit,
but not much, since I was born; bu:
knowledge is so vast that one cannot
become wise in a short life-time,”
said the man of sixty.

Seventy-four Chevrolet dealers
from all parts of the United States
attended a two-day advertising con-
ference June 13 to 14 in the General
Motors Building under the supervi-
sion of William E. Holler, vice presi-
dent and general sales manager of
the Chevrolet Motor Company.
The objective of the conference was
to obtain free interchange of ideas
on the mutual problems of the com-
pany and its dealers. Several round-
table discussions were on the pro-
gram, und dealers were invited to
offer constructive suggestions on ad-
vertising and other subjects relating
to their business. Several suggestions
made at an earlier session of the
same type were adopted with excel-
lent results, and the cementing of
dealer-factory relations, made pos-
sible through the conference, more
than justified the undertaking, in the
opinion of Chevrolet officials.
While the meeting was termed
dealers’ advertising conference, its
scope was wider than that name
would imply, Mr. Holler explained.
The sessions touched upon every
phase of Chevrolet dealer activity—•
new cars and trucks, used cars, parti,
accessories, service, accounting and
business management, and financing.
Representatives of each Chevrolet
department outlined for the group of
dealers the Chevrolet Motor Comp-
any’s plans for the summer months
as affecting that department, so that
when the dealers left Detroit they
took with them a complete picture
of what is in prospect for the im-
mediate future.
“The dealers’ advertising confer-
ence was not the first of its sort wc
have held,” Mr. Holler pointed out,
“but it was by far the largest, it
brought into Detroit key dealers from
all the different Chevrolet regions
and zones, and made available to
them, at first hand merchandising
plans we have develo'ped for the sum-
mer and the balance of the year.
Chevrolet’s regional managers and
the principal members of their staffs
also attended the conference, ao that
both the wholesale and the retail
Chevrolet force had coaat-to-coast
representation. The dealers in this
group accountd for 38,116 cars and
trucks last year, and played an im-
portant part in Chevrolet’s achieve-
ment of first place for the sixth time
in the last eight years.”
Headquarters for the dealers in
Detroit was the Book-Cadillac Hotel,
and meetings was held in the General
Motors Building Auditorium. Special
exhibits connected with variou*
phases of their business were fea-
tures of the sessions.
BOYS WHOSE FAMILIES
ARE ON RELIEF TO BE
^ FAVORED FOR CCC
AUSTIN, June 18.—Selection of
Texas boys for enrollment in CCC
camps will be confined hereafter
strictly to young men whose families
are on the relief rolls, it has been
announced by Neal E. Guy. enroll-
ment supervisor for the state.
Guy said* federal officials had re-
scinded all instructions which for-
merly provided for enrollment of
worthy unemployed boys and so-
callcd “border-line” cases.
“Henceforth we may admit to
CCC camps only applicants who can
make a proper allotment to depend-
ents. It has been ordered that selec-
tees for enrollment beginning June
16 must in every case represent fami-
lies on the public relief rolls. This
means that in the approaching en-
rollment period, the 12,000 young
Texans taken into the camps should
represent 12,000 families removed
from the relief rolls.”
Counties unable to supply their
quotas from relief roll families will
not be permitted to select non-
relief applicants but will notify the
state enrollment officer, who will fill
the quotas from a county which has
more eligible candidates than its
quota will allow it to choose.
First phase of the enrollment be-
ginning about June 17 will affect
only a very few counties, since only
92b boys will be accepted at that
time. The second period, July 1 to
Au.<rust 31, will be governed by com-
pletion of new camps now under con-
struction.
