Show THE LEI1I SUN, LEHI. UTAH FICTION Cornet MARTY HENDRICKS tapped his pencil on the desk and glanced nervously at the wall clock. Only twenty minutes more before the dead line for the afternoon Star and not a story worth a rap had come in over the telephone! Not that Marty Eendricks usually worried about what kind of story came in over the wire. He had always had magic in hit fingers magic that let him take the dryest bit of news from police stations or fixe houses and re-write it into a regular Arabian Nights tale. But today things had been different. dif-ferent. Today Marty Hendricks had overheard a conversation between the city editor and the Chief and his whole world had crumbled. "Say," the Chief had said as Marty paused a moment outside his half open door to sharpen a pencil, "What's wrong with Marty? He used to be the best re-write man in the whole South. Could take a story over the wire and turn it into a piece that made a sob sister out of every woman. But he's gone to pieces hasn't written a good story for months." "I've noticed that myself," the city editor answered as Marty's heart thumped. "Guess he's gone stale. Twenty-five years at a rewrite re-write desk will do that to a man." "Well, he'll have to spruce up or give up the job," the Chief growled. "There's a young man asking for that Job and they say he's a dandy. If Marty doesn't perk up we'd better bet-ter put him back on some light work and get that young fellow." The conversation had trailed on, but Marty had not listened to any more of it. His hands were trembling trem-bling as be found his way back to his desk and there was a lump in his throat that he couldn't swallow no matter how hard he tried. He, Marty Hendricks, the best re-write man that the Star had ever had, about to be ditched. He sat down at his desk and tried to think what it would mean to Sarah Ann if he lost this job. Sarah Ann was a good wife a r-ighty good one. She could make a dollar go further than any other wife he knew, but even Sarah Ann had a hard time getting all the things the kids needed out of his salary. And If that was cut, no telling how they'd be able to manage. Six kids they, ate up a lot, six kids didl And now that Marty Junior ' was heading for college they had to put little aside every month. Yes six kids were an awful lot TOO MANY," he thought as he glanced down at the snapshot pressed under the glass top of his desk. There they were Sarah Ann and the six of them. He turned his eyes away from the snapshot and glanced at the wall clock. If a story would only come fust one story that would let him show the Chief what he could do! Ah there was the telephone now!

He remembered there was a bicycle bi-cycle and a boy at his house, too. He picked up the receiver and cleared his throat. "Hello," he said. "Yes ... An accident at St. Charles Avenue and Adams? . . . Yes, I've got it. What's that? Boy ten years old . . . no hope ... a bicycle bi-cycle and a car . . . yes . . . whose boy? Don't know yet? ... I see . . ." He put down the receiver and pulled his typewriter towards him. His fingers reached for the keys . . . Ten minutes to the dead line now . . . he'd have to hurry. He'd have to make it a good story . . . this might be the last story he'd ever re-write if he didn't make it good! HIS eyes strayed again to the snapshot beneath the glass. Ten years old . . . why that was just the age of little Andy! Perhaps the boy looked like Andy . . . perhaps per-haps he had blue eyes and red cheeks and a nose that turned up. His fingers began to play upon the keys of the typewriter lightly as though someone else were writing. Funny, he thought, that the words should slip off the keys so fast now . . . he didn't even have to think. The story was writing itself . . . writing itself this way: "He might have been mine. That's what every man and woman in New Orleans should think when they read about the ten-year-old boy who will never ride a bicycle again. It happened at St. Charles Avenue and Adams Street in the City of New Orleans, but it happens every day in every city of America. It was only a second-hand bike but the boy must have thought it as handsome as any bicycle that ever came out of a department store. His father probably didn't want him to have it and his mother probably didn't want him to have it either. But mothers and fathers have soft hearts and so this mother and father fa-ther couldn't bear to say 'no' to him, although their heads must have told them that they were fools to send a child of ten into that line of traffic. "The bicycle was painted red and the handlebars were still silvery when they found the pieces. But the Solntloa In Next lunt. No. 21 Robust Prefix: not About 54 Music: as written 56 Eggs wheels of the bicycle were as crumbled crum-bled and twisted as the body of the small boy. The police haven't reported re-ported yet who was to blame for the accident but WE know. It Wis the fault of all of us the fault of modern civilization which allows cars and trucks and little lads on bicycles to ride together on the same streets. He might have been your kid and he might have been mine. What are we going to do about It?" Marty stopped a moment and reread re-read the last line. It was a funny line to end a story with, he thought a wrong line, perhaps. The Chief might not like it. He started to change it, but he couldn't. First of all, because he couldn't think of anything else to say and then, too, because he was in a great hurry all at once. He snatched the paper from the typewriter and fairly ran to the city editor's desk. The city editor's eyes traveled over the page. "Pretty good," he announced when he had finished reading it. "A little too much editorial edi-torial flavor to it, but you've perked up Marty ... why, Where's he gone?" For Marty Hendricks HAD gone. He had made the elevator in nothing noth-ing flat and he was already shooting down in the lift. He wasn't wondering wonder-ing how the city editor liked the story and he wasn't caring whether wheth-er the Chief liked it or not. He was remembering that there was a second-hand bicycle at his house a bicycle bi-cycle that was painted red and had silvery handle bars. "Of course, there were thousands of bicycles like that in New Orleans," he told himself as the elevator stopped and let him out. But he had to be SURE . . . Sure that he and Sarah Ann still had time to take that bicycle out of circulation! Jobs weren't important, Marty Hendricks thought as he ran along the street and hailed a passing street car. Not a bit important compared com-pared to a boy with blue eyes and rosy cheeks and a turned up nose. He could get another job but he couldn't get another kid like Andy. Not anywhere in the whole world! And six kids weren't too many! "No, Sir," said Marty Hendricks to himself as he swung on to the car step. "Six kids are JUST EXACTLY EX-ACTLY RIGHT!" . How to Make New Friends We had just moved into a new house in a new neighborhood in a new town; a little Western city without any of the advantages of a more erudite community. The second sec-ond day we were there she came bearing gifts, a glass of jelly she had made from wild chokecherries the autumn before.' She was just a little country woman. She had always lived there. She hadn't ever been more than fifty miles from home, had never seen a railroad train or an airplane, had been only once to the movies. But I never met one of more cosmopolitan cos-mopolitan personality, of broader vision or of more supreme happiness. happi-ness. You couldn't be with her for more than an hour without catching the spirit of hat infectious laugh, ol her rare and rollicking good humoi or some of the spirit of her amazing charm. Yet she was a woman who had lived all her life without "advan-tages." "advan-tages." One evening as we sat on the porch I questioned her closely about her philosophy of life and the genesis gene-sis of her personality. And I believe that what she told me will go with me as a source of Inspiration and help as long as I live. I also believe it may likewise help you. All her life she has merely made it a point to make a new friend oi every new person who moves into the community. It was the reflection of her friendship toward others that made her eyes shine, her conversation conversa-tion sparkle with good fellowship and the humor that endeared her to everyone within radius of a hun dred miles. She drew you like a magnet. Her charm was irresist ible. And all she had done was to make a new friend! I suppose in her life that some persons had taken advantage of her friendship. I suppose she had been cheated and robbed as I have, as you have. Maybe you and I have be come a little bit embittered because of it. Not she. She found the new friends she won outweighed the loss of those who were faithless to her trust. If you will assume that everyone is your friend, and try to make new social contacts every day, it will do some mysterious and very good things to your personality. It will make your personality warm and friendly, and will draw persons to you from every walk of life. Far better than any academic rules of psychology is the simple rule of the mountain woman which I learned as dusk tell and the rabbits rab-bits came out to play: "If you want friends, you have to show folks you are a friend. I guess that is all there is to it." : .'V- - : i.l i ' - I A ft A Sk 111 I ! ft. W V it . r Try Lemon-Egg Pie for Potluck Supper (See recipe below.)

Eyes of Dead Murderer May Restore Sight to Two LITTLE ROCK. Surgeons hoped the eyes of a dead murderer mur-derer might restore sight to two living men. Before 20-year-old Vollie Bill Bates was put to death in the Tucker prison farm electric chair for the robbery slaying of a taxicab driver, he willed his eyes to someone who "needed them badly." Surgeons removed corneas from Bates' eyes shortly after his death and planned to transplant trans-plant them to the eyes of Mi-:hael Mi-:hael F. Boucher, 73-year-old re-tired re-tired bricklayer of Hot Springs, and Frank McCracken, a 49-year-old Fort Smith piano tuner, both blind.

Army Vall Old Masters, Loot of Nazis, Hang in Office. BERLIN. Loot sleuths have found six valuable paintings, stolen from the Netherlands by Nazis, right in the middle of American military government headquarters, where they were decorating the of-l;es of-l;es of Gen. Lucius D. Clay and lis deputy military governor, Gen. Frank A. Keating. Slightly red in the face, American military government issued a news . jlease explaining that the paintings paint-ings were bought in good faith from a German firm of interior decorators decora-tors in Berlin for 66,400 marks ($6,640). The German decorators, Horn brothers, explained that they had orought them from the Roomerbrad hotel at Badenweiler, Baden, in the French zone. There would, indeed, have been jeven paintings on headquarters walls, the official release acknowl-sdged, acknowl-sdged, but one was destroyed in a Ire at the German decorator's warehouse. This was a Damschroe-der Damschroe-der which had been bought by military mili-tary government for 22,600 marks ($2,260). The loot sleuths of military government's gov-ernment's monuments, fine arts and archives section found the pictures pic-tures when they undertook to trace Netherlands restitution claims. The tireless sleuths with bulging portfolios port-folios and art catalogues happened to look on the wall of Clay's office, and found there Van Dyck's "Portrait "Por-trait of a Woman" bought for 9,600 marks. On Keating's adjacent walls were five more paintings, a Bilders landscape land-scape (14,200 marks), "Waterfall" by Bassano (10,500 marks), Salva-tor Salva-tor Rosa's 'Two Mounted Riders" and "Battling" (both 9,600 marks), and Canalettos "Grand Canal" (22,500 marks). The sleuths have traced millions of looted articles, from masterpieces master-pieces to sewing machines, in their treks across Europe, but none of them cared to talk about this find. One of the underlings of Col. John H. Allen, section chief, indicated that the Dutch might have given some hints as to where to look. Guffaw Fine Is Refunded; Culprit Gets Last Laugh PAWTUCKET. R. I. Samuel Hy- der, 57-year-old mill worker whose guffaw landed him in jail, was advised ad-vised by a court he could laugh as freely as he pleased without fear of again running afoul of the law. With a grin, District Judge Wil liam M. Connell ordered a $4.60 fine imposed on Hyder on a charge of "reveling" refunded and wiped out any court record against him. Smiling but silently Hyder heard his counsel make a fervent plea in his behalf coupled with a warning that Pawtucket faced the danger of becoming known as a "pickle-puss" city. Once aquitted, Hyder couldn't restrain himself, and burst out in his belly laugh as the judge left the bench. Absent from the crowded courtroom court-room was Police Chief Leonard Mills, who ordered Hyder locked up for creating a disturbance for laughing loudly in the heart of the business district "when there was nothing funny to laugh about" 1 Mills said Hyder's roar was funny the first time you heard it but once was enough and that merchants had complained. Hyder, who says he doesn't have to see anything funny to burst out laughing, was back downtown after his acquittal laughing away and receiving congratulations from well-wishers. Now he has something to laugh about and is making the most oi it. Driver Halts His Loaded Bus and Dies at the Wheel BRADFORD, PA.
