Show WE FICTION CORNER KEEPERS FINDER fALMER By CHARLES The chauffeur pulled the long black car over to the side of the dusty road, and the elderly gentleman in the tonneau leaned forward to open the door for the two hitchhikers. The slim, nervous one with the beady black eyes sat on one side of the elderly gentleman; the large, sleepy one on the other. The elderly gentleman's hands were folded benignly in his lap. His friendly, rather vague eyes peered at first one, then the other. He broke the silence. "My name is And Vandermoor, gentlemen. you?" The slim, nervous one sat up sharply. "Any relation to the Vandermoor bank family?" "Yes," said the elderly gentleman, stroking his gray goatee. "I have that honor, if you call it one." This "Then," said the slim one, "this is Week's your lucky day. Ain't it, George?" Best1 The big one took his hungry gaze Fiction from the passing orange trees long enough to grunt agreement, and turned back to contemplating the luscious fruit. The slim one fixed the elderly gentleman with a gimlet eye, and hooked a taut finger confidently in his lapel. "Have you ever neglected the birthday of a loved one, and spent sleepless nights of regret?" he probed intensely. "Have you ever slipped up on remembering an anniversary and gone to the doghouse as a result or failed to congratulate a friend on a promotion and gotten the fishy eye the next time you met? Have you?" "Well, yes," apologized the elderly gentleman, "I have. I am a trifle forgetful at times," adding defensively, "but then, most people are." "Ah," pressed the slim one, giving the lapel an impressive shake, "my point exactly. Most people are, like you, forgetful, and they suffer for it. They suffer because they know the slight or omission was not intended and realize too, that the neglected one is certain to wrongly interpret it. Maybe a long friendship will be strained, or a wife or daughter hurt. "But, suppose you were to suddenly find yourself in a position where those slights and omissions never happened any morel Wouldn't you be delighted especially It it meant no effort on your part, no strain, no time; in fact, nothing beyond the payment of a very small fee?" The elderly gentleman nodded. "I imagine most people would be as .delighted as I." "My point again!" cried the slim one. "Now, George and I are at this moment on our way to Los Angeles to initiate just such a service. We plan to call it The Co., Inc. "All you have to do is give us the names of the people whose anniversaries you want to remember; with the dates if you have them, otherwise we will look them up for you. "Give us too, the names of people whose promotions, marriages, births, deaths and so on you want to mark with a gift or note; and our clipping service will watch the papers and other sources of information. When an item pops up on the calendar we keep in your name, we notify you and' for a small additional fee we will even write an appropriate note, or purchase and forward a gift. Now, tell me: Does that fill a long-feneed?" The elderly gentleman's eyes were bright with interest. "Amazing, lt , . Horizontal i J 14 ?

Put me down as your first sub- scriber." "You see!" said the slim one. "You snapped at it. So will others. Which brings us to the heart of the matter, doesn't it, George?" George turned from the oranges long enough to grunt a second agreement, and turned back to his contemplation. An orange would go very, very good just now. The slim one grasped the elderly gentleman's lapel again. "Mr. Vandermoor, I called this your lucky day. It is. You, being a Vandermoor, have money which you are probably willing to treble on a proposition that can't miss. George and I have such a proposition, but no money. Now, why can't we 'get together on this thing?" "Hmm," remarked the elderly gentleman. "How much capital do you estimate your venture will require?"

Undoubtedly they include a number of fund raising schemes which are designed to take care of worthy causes. One of the most successful campaigns of many groups includes sales of goods baked by members. In this, of course, cakes, cookies, et cetera are donated by the women and purchased by the club members, so all profit Is clear. Now that sugar, fats and flour are back again on a prewar basis in supply, at least, it's possible to plan a bakery goods sale of this type. In case there's a problem about what to include, I've lined up several sure-fir-e recipes which can serve as the nucleus of the sale. Pass them out to those who don't know just "what to make."

"I am convinced of the worth of your idea, and of your ability to carry it through. Your name?" The slim one supplied it, and the elderly gentleman wrote out the check, tore it from the book, and handed it to him. "And now, I see we are almost home. If you young men will come in with me, we can draw up some informal papers to cover, the matter, and then I will have my driver take you on to the city to start your company." The car swung from the highway and stopped smoothly. A uniformed attendant hobbled from the gate house to unlock the ponderous iron grilles which effectively barred the driveway. Suddenly the slim one bent forward. His eyes rested on a small bronze plate set in the stone pillar. "Sunnyside Home for the Mentally Diseased," he read slowly, choking as the words sunk in. He turned toward . George, flicking a rather hopeless glance in his direction. George turned away sadly to again appraise the oranges.

"Well, there advertising office rent, telephones and help livings for George and me all only until the golden flood begins to roll in. Say; oh say, five thousand dollars. That should be sufficient to launch the business." The elderly gentleman drew a checkbook from his pocket, and his fountain pen. The beady eyes glistened. The elderly gentleman turned to the back of a check and began to figure. The slim one exhaled sharply, opened his mouth to speak, but thought better of it. In a few moments, the elderly gentleman stopped figuring, and looked out the car window, stroking his goatee reflectively. He shook his head slowly. "No," he said. "I believe your calculations to be in error. You will need at least ten thousand dollars to get your proposition under way." The blood slowly flowed back into the slim one's cheeks.
