II would be the latt time he'd beat that particular path, he thought grimly. It was Christmas Eve and everybody was in a gay and anticipatory antici-patory mood. Everybody, that is, except Larry. He bad been reasonably reason-ably happy until that morning when the whole world seemed to have craahed about him. Opening the door of the ear, he slid In behind the wheel and started it toward home. The face of Silas Hennlng, until fifteen minutes ago his boas, cam to his mind and again he heard the words that he dreaded to repeat to Boiine: "I know you're not happy in your work, Larry, and it's not fair to either one of us when you don't put your best efforts into what you're doing. I think, therefore, that you'd better go elsewhere tor a job. Today's as good a day as any to sever connections." Fired on Christmas Evel Of course, what Hennlng had said was true. Larry wasn't happy being a bookkeeper at Morrison's appliance Shop. He had always yearned to be a writer, and wrote numerous short stories during his spare time. When Rosine told him of their expected ex-pected second child he had taken the Job at Morrison's through sheer desperation. No longer could they live on their savings.

His hand trembled trem-bled as he opened it. "Dear Mr. Shannon," he read aloud. "Our mutual mu-tual friend, Silas Hennlng, recently submitted one of your articles for our consideration. We believe it shows promise and since we were given a splendid recommendation by Mr. Hennlng, we are writing to ask if you would be interested in a Job In our editorial department If so, call for an interview this week.". The telephone was ringing, but for a moment, Larry and Rosine merely stood as though mute, staring star-ing at each other. Larry became conscious of the bell first and picked up the receiver. It was Mr. Hennlng, Hen-nlng, laughing heartily. "Bet I bed you worried, eh, LarryT" "Mr. Henniiigl I didn't know . . . how did you. . ." Larry was tongue-tied. Rosine walked to his side, putting one arm gently about his shoulder. "I found that article you wrote on your son and the atomic age and sent it in to Asherton," Hennlng explained. ex-plained. "He's a good friend of mine and editor of Truth. Well. I won't hold you, Larry. Just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas, Mr. Hennlng," Hen-nlng," Larry said as the telephone clicked at the other end. "Merry Christmas and thanks for the best one I've ever had."

"You must he willing to work many hours, and see that you do each step will before beginning the next." First you must remove the old finish, she explained. Use a good grade of varnish remover. Avoid use of lye, glass or paint scraper. scrap-er. Apply the remover gener ously with a paint brush vo a small area at a time and allow it to stand until the finish has softened enough to be lifted off with a dull edged putty knife. Have a good supply of newspapers newspap-ers handy so the old finish can be placed on them and destroy ed. Use an old tooth brush, a sharpened lolly-pop stick of an orange tsick to clean carving.

All of the remover must be cleaned off or the new finish will not dry, she cautioned- Sanding is one of the most im portant parts of refinishing and must always be done thoroughly and with great care to prevent scratching the ' wood. Always sand with the grain of the wood and protect any section in which the grain goes in another direction. direc-tion. Emery cloth torn in strips is excellent to sand turnings with, Miss Hurst suggested. First use as coarse a paper as the wood will stand without scrat ching, then finer ones until the surface is as smooth as the wood will become.

The answer is yes and no it all depends up on one's location when sniffing Great Salt Lake. Railroad men who cross the Lucin Cutoff aay that a gentle south breeze from off the salt baranas.
