rnHE landslide occurred on March
6 It was the evening before that
Lorelei and Stan quarreled The real
cause of the quarrel was Inez Thay
Deke Whitmans stepdaughter
> Deke was the
p5rtnttnd
3Minute ent and Inez bad
C1IIN
rlCIIOn come to spend a
I couple of weeks
with him
Inez was disappointed in the
place She had always thought of
Arizona as a land of desert Warm
Romantic Nobody had told her that
there were mountains In Arizona
a nd that up in those mountains the
temperature in March got well down
below the freezing point
She probably wouldnt have
remained a week If it hadnt
been for Stan Seymrur Stan
was a young engineer Ines took
one look at him and decided to
ptay
A woman In love sees many things
that others let pass by unnoticed
Lorelei who was the daughter of
Jim Tristram the mine foreman
had been In love with Stan since the
day he arrived six months before
and he with her Their love was un
spoken but it lay between them like
a tangible thing
Lorelei was glad now that neither
had put into words the thing that
both had felt for now there need be
ho explaining or embarrassments
Some day she knew the hurt that
grew Inside of her as she watched
Stan yield to the polished charm of
Inez Thayer would fade and vanish
So on the evening of March 7
Lorelei and Stan quarreled And
each knew that Inez was the cause
of the quarrel though both pretend-
ed it was oyer the matter of holding
the annual spring dance in Redstone
this year Instead of at the mine
Is DuPont Really a Monopoly or Jus Too Large
By Wright A Patterson
SEVERAL YEARS an effort
FOR
has been made to secure legisla-
tion that would provide for a na-
tional science foundation through
which the top notch scientists could
Work at fundamental scientific dis-
coveries Last year the long de-
sired legislation was passed
As tbe bill was Introduced It pro-
vided an appropriation of 14 million
dollars frpm which to provide com-
pensation for the scientists labora
torles In which they could work
and materials with which to work
But In one of those rare economy
spurts the house appropriations
committee Clarence Cannon Dem
Missouri chairman cut that 14 mil
Hon down to300000 a sum entirely
too meagre with which to start such
a foundation and nothing has hap-
pened because of that legislation
In the DuPont hotel In Wilming-
ton DeL there Is a display window
In which are shown hundreds of
those things which the scientific re-
search of the DuPont laboratories
and the top notch scientists whose
time and ability are at Its disposal
have made possible That company
spends something like 20 million
dollars a year on scientific re-
search
From their unhampered research
there has come the commodities
that are shown In that display win-
dow in Wilmington a window be-
fore which I have stood many times
to wonder at the accomplishments
of this one company In providing
hundreds of different things for the
convenience and pleasure of the peo
Ie of thn world
They make use of wastes that
have been deemed valueless they
provide new industries that give
employment to millions of workers
they Increase American sales to
the extent of millions even billions
of dollars each year And because
of that Increased business the gov-
ernment collects a considerable
portion of the nations taxes
When the government wanted an
Abomb it perfected its own or-
ganization and spent billions of
dollars on the project Now the gov-
ernment wants an Hbomb it turns
to the DuPont company and its
corps of scientists working in Du
Pont laboratories with DuPont equip-
ment and materials to produce that
more terrible more destructive
Implement of warfare through which
to insure our success against the
Red hordes of communism Wheth-
er or not those DuPont scientists
will be able to construct such a
bomb and the methods of exploding
It only time will tell but If it can
be done they will do It
Now the attorney general says
the DuPont Company Is too big for
the good of the nation and has
brought suit to break Itup info
small pieces so It would not be able
to do for the government the things
a congress refused to do for us
DuPont is a concern that has pro-
vided tbe munitions needed in prac-
tically every war in which we have
engaged a company that through
Its scientific research has provided
millions of Jobs for American work-
ers that has turned the wastes of
mine field and forests Into com
modities of value a company that
has added billions to Americas
sales from which the government
collects a large portion of the na
Ubns taxes a company that can
do for the government if It can be
tlone what the government is not
prepared to do for Itself
It might be well for the attorney
general td study as I have that
display In the window of the Du
Pont hotel In Wilmington From It
he would probably get a now Idea
of the value of this toobig company
and what It and others like it mean
to America
DuPont Is but one of a number
f concerns that maintain exten
jlve research departments into
which they pour vast sums From
these laboratories come Increased
production increased Jobs that
240bllllon dollars annual business
from which the President insistent-
ly demands a federal government
tax return of 70 billion dollars It
takes a toobig concern to stand
the drain the government places
upon business Breakingthem into
small pieces would be but killing
the goose that lays the golden eggs
If Wheeler McMlllen editor of
the Farm Journal and the Path-
finder could be chairman of the
agricultural committee of either the
senate or the house he would find
a practical solution of the vexing
farm problem
Creeping aoftjallsm in America
has become running socialism
Help met she cried And
turned desperate eyes toward
Inei
r was warm that night of March
7 Unnaturally warm The heavy
snows atop the mountain range
against the base of which the mine
buildings nestled began to melt and
on the morning of March 8 they be-
gan to move slipping down the
mountain loosening tons of earth
and ice and rock
I
Lorelei was poming up from the
rural delivery postofffce box with
the mall She heard the ominous
roar and stopped A moment before
she had seen Stan and Inez enter
the tiny engineers fieldjjffice and
without thinking she started running
toward it shouting at the top of her
lungs
Men appeared from other build-
ings and took up the cry and before
long a great crowd was racing down
the valley road out of the path of
the onrushlng avalanche x
But Stan and Inez didnt appear
In the doorway of the engineers
office and Lorelei kept on running
screaming Above the office was a
sharp outcropping of rock When the
ayalanche hit this it divided and
stones and earth were catapulted
into space over the building
Lorelei had pushed open the door
when this happened She glimpsed
Inez in Stans arms Then a falling
timber crashed toward them and
she screamed Stan pushed Inez
away from htm and almost got
clear himself but t grazed his
shoulder and knocked him Bat
For a moment Lorelei stood trans-
fixed Then she leaped forward and
began prying at the timber Help
mel she cried And she turned
desperate eyes toward Inez
At the door Inei turned Her
face was white Dont be a
foolt she shrieked Save your-
self Then the roar and crash
became louder drowning oat
her words The first avalanche
had started a second
Inez flung open the door and
rushed outside Stan pulled Lorelei
down beside him and yelled Into her
ear1 Go onl Youve still got a
chance You cant save met But
sbfi only stared at him In horror
Then she began picking up timbers
and propping them in a sort of lean
to against the one undamaged wall
sheltering them
Rescue crews came In and were
amazed to find the two alive They
pried Stan loose and carried him
away on a stretcher One of his legs
was broken
When he came out of the ether
Lorelei was beside bis bed She
filled and said Shes safe She
got clear and escaped without a
bruise
He looked at her and said noth
ing Then he took her hand and
drew her down close to him Ifs
more important that youre safe

The famous carol The First
Noel means the first Christmas
and this holy anthem goes so far
back Into history that there is no
record as to who wrote or when It
was first sung
An old belief Is that the shepherds
sang the verses to the music of the
angels heralding the birth of Christ
but no one knows for sure
The beautiful carol however has
come to be one of the many Impor-
tant things that make Christmas the
holy celebrated season that it is
Weeks before Christmas from
radios from concert hall and from
the throats of carol singers and
just plain singers the strains of the
First Noel remind us all that the
celebration of the birth of Christ Is
once more upon us
Christmas Eve in Syria
Time for Earnest Prayer
There is little merriment in Syria
on Christmas Eve It Is mere a time
of prayer In both Syria and nearby
Lebanon the Christmas season be-
gins on December 4th and Is not
concluded until January 6th
In these two ancient countries
there Is no Santa Glaus The Syrian
believes his gifts come from the
camel for legend tells that the
youngest camel to accompany the
Magi was tired and weary upon
reaching the stable at Bethlehem
and the newborn Saviour blessed
It and gave it Immortal life In the
Lebanon district tha magic mule
Is the gift bearer Children sprinkle
freshly mown grass from the thres-
hold to their beds to entice the mule
to visit thenT during the night
All during the Christmas season
pilgrimages are frequently made
from Syria to Bethlehem Then on
New Years Day comes th cele
brating Presents are exchanged
and children go from one house to
another receiving presents and
gifts of money like children every-
where
Great Is He Honored
This Christmas Day I
It Is indeed significant this birth-
day that is celebrated on the
twentyfifth of December
I It honors the birth of One who
never delved into politics Who bo
longed to no party political or
otherwise Ha led no revolutions
conquered no vast domains with
mighty armies or eloquent words
He advocated llttla more than a life
for salvation and for that He was
crucified on Calvary
