The Spur of the Moment

Everybody except confirmed bach
elors and spinsters from choice is
interested in domestic phenomena.
And the marital happiness of others
is a matter of wonder and inquiry
on the part of matrimonial parties
who have missed it.
The Vanners—Rose and John—had
been married two years and had
lived at a hotel all of that period .ex

Not that they prided themselves on
their veracity, or paraded virtues.
It just happened that they were such
good pals that deceit had no place
in their association. And while each,
before marriage, had been lively
enough in a decent way, they were
so well satisfied with each other that
they were seldom apart, except as

1 DEARBORN, Mich.—In the heart of
Ford Motor Company’s vast Rouge plant is a
Navy Service School now training 1,500 blue
jacket recruits in mechanical trades they
will perform with Uncle Sam’s fleet. This
the+aerial view shows the school buildings in the
right foreground on the bank of the River
Rouge. The recruits are “learning by doing”
in accordance with educational methods
pioneered by the Henry Ford Trade School,
Think up something. But if you are
not, I’ve an idea I should like to
play bridge that evening if you could
find something congenial”
“The idea suggests one to me.
Friends at the Sojourners’ club have
been trying for weeks to get me into
a poker game. They are all ‘alones’
and live at the club. I think I can
make a date for Christmas eve with
them.”
“But you wouldn’t go into the
game as a regular thing, dear?”
“Oh, no!”
“Isn’t poker a gambling game?”
“No more a gambling game than
bridge, Rose.”
“Shall you play late?’’
“I shall probably be home by mid
night.”
“Well, we shall play but four rub
bers. No doubt I’ll be in bed and
asleep when you come in. Just go
to your room, and we’ll see which of
us wishes ‘A Merry Christmas’ first
in the morning.”
And so it was planned. The Van-
r.ers had dinner together at the ho
tel, as usual. Then Vanner went off
to the Sojourners’ club, and Mrs.
Vanner started to drum up her trio
of bridge devotees. But her plan
dfd not carry. One of the women
was suddenly called out of town and
another became just ill enough to
eliminate the game. Mrs. Vanner
finished a novel she was reading and
went to bed. She was always a
sound sleeper until very early in the
morning.
The Sojourners’ club bunch were
amazed at Vanner’s luck at poker.
At midnight he had most of the chips,
and in decency he played on. At 4 a.
m. he insisted upon cashing in and
started wearily for his hotel. He
wished there might be some way to
keep the knowledge of this innocent
deliquency from Mrs. Vanner.
He got to his room in the hotel
safely. Aparently Mrs. Vanner was
slumbering peacefully in her room.
He shed his coat and vest and was at
work on his collar when he saw Mrs.
Vanner at his door with a wrap over
her night robe.
"Merry Christmas!” she cried.
“Merry Christmas, dear!” he re
sponded. The chimes of a neighbor
ing cathedral rang out, foretelling
the early Christmas service.

CREAMERY BRINGS READY
CASH TO FARMERS
Records of the Newberry Cream

months it paid the farmers of New

The records show that from 1935
through 1941 the creamery had
“But why are you dressing so ear
ly, John?” she asked.
Vanner suddenly became wide
awake. “Oh, I thought it would be
a treat to go over to the cathedral
and hear the wonderful music,” he
replied.
“Of course you were going to call
me to gol”
‘Of course, honey!” Vanner yawn
ed audibly. “Run along and dress.”

this butterfat. In checking over the
records for the past two decades it
was revealed that since the first of
1923 the creamery had made 2,957,-
601 pounds of butter.
Mr. Hove, manager of the New
berry Creamery, states that not only
did the farmers receive a cash week

their farms and reduced their ferti

compost.

are using the skim milk to grow out
calves, poultry and hogs thus open
