COE'S COINCIDENCE By Denny McClung A S HE LAY listening to the early morning sounds of the city, memory of the night before came flooding back over him. He had pulled up at Jane’s home, run up the walk and punched the belL “Good evening, Mrs. Lynch. Is Jane ready?” “I’m sorry, Jim, but she left about half an hour ago with a Mr. Coe.” “Didn’t she leave any message for me?” “No, not a word.” *T see. And you don’t know who this Mr. Coe is?” “No. she didn’t say. But he got here about twenty minutes after he called.” “Well, tell her I was here.** “I will. Goodnight.” He was angry. Angry and sur prised. Angry because Jane had broken their date, and surprised that she had. This was the first date with him that she had ever broken and he could find no ex planation. He parked his car in an all-night lot and went to a movie. He left the theater and stopped at a small juke-joint for pie and coffee. Ten minutes later he am bled out of the place and came to an abrupt halt. He could hardly believe his eyes when he saw Jane standing by the window of a small tobacconist next door. “Hello, Jane,” he said. “Oh—oh, Jim. Why, hello,” she replied, a little too brightly. “I stopped by for you.” “You did? Well, you see, Mr. Coe called, and — well, he asked me to go to a play with him.” “I see.” “Please run along, Jim. I’ll ex plain later. He just stepped in here to get some cigarettes. Don’t start a scene.” “A scene? Don’t you think I can do any better than that?” But it was too late. Mr. Coe stepped from the shop and there was nothing for Jane to do but Introduce them. “Robert, this is James Garrity; Jim, Robert Coe.”* Jim stifled his anger and they said their hello’s. Then Jim said, “Well. Mr. Coe. it’s been a pleasure to meet you, but I really must go.” “So soon?” asked Mr. Coe, “But we should become better ac quainted.” “I’m sorry, but I have some work to do before tomorrow— business.” The silence of the room was shattered by the telephone’s shrill ringing. “Jim Garrity,” he mumbled in to the receiver. “Mr. Garrity.” a strange voice said, “listen carefully, this is im portant. It is now 7:30. I will meet you in exactly thirty minutes on Pier 8.” “Who is this?” Garrity asked. “I can’t say,” the voice answered. “What if I don’t come?” "But you must, Mr. Garrity. This is very important. I’ll be waiting.” And the line went dead. Twenty-nine minutes later, Gar rity jumped from a taxi and sprinted toward the pier. “What are you doing here?” a low, musical voice asked when he reached the docks. “I might ask you the same ques tion,” he answered, as he turned to where Jane was standing. “But thirty minutes ago some guy called and told me to meet him here. Said it was important.” “What a coincidence,” Jane said. “About 7:20, Mr. Coe ’phoned and asked me to come down—to see him off. “I really should have told you last night, Jim. Mr. Coe is a buyer visiting our store from England and the boss asked me to see to it that he had a good time while he was in town.” “You don’t mean . . “What else?” “But how did he . . “After I saw you last night I must have been rather moody. “He’s on the boat that just cast off.” Spring Ahead E ddie robinson, the big first baseman acquired by the Yank ees in the thirteen-player deal with the Athletics, has been a base ball nomad.

Writers of Bible Illustrate Truths Through Symbols QNE thing about the Bible that many people forget is that it is an Eastern book. The daily language and litera ture of the East has always been full of figures and symbols very different from much of our prosaic, Western liberalism. The prophets frequently used* figures of speech and symbols to express truth. The parables of Jesus wers true to life and revealing in the truth, concerning God and man that Jesus sought to, impart, but they did not depend upon the incidents described having ac tually happened. It was “a certain man” who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and it might have been any man so far as the truth and the teaching were concerned. The parables are stories and teachings for today, and nut just stories of something that hap pened long ago. Their signifi cance is not as historic inci dents, but as spiritual tales, or parables, with universality of application. Take, for instance, the account of how Eve was created from the rib of Adam. Here is how one great Biblical teacher in terprets it. ' * He suggests that the creation of woman from man’s side meant that she was to be his equal and helpmate; not from the head was , she created that she should lord over him, nor from the foot, that he should dominate her. This interpretation is in har mony with the high esteem in which women were held among Jews and in contrast with their inferior position among many other peoples. The story of the beginning of sin symbolizes the subtle and easy temptation of those made in the image and likeness of God; the essence of sin in disobedience to divine command; the knowl edge of good and evil as the re sult of the fall, and the emer gence of man into moral struggle and moral responsibility. Dimes, Friends Aid 4 in Family Felled by Polio A Kansas farmer has discovered that a good neighbor in time of need is more valuable than silver and gold. Robert Stahl and his family were saved from heartache and tragedy by the action of good neighbors. Stahl, his wife and four chil dren were busy on their 127-acre farm near Wichita, Kans. last summer—getting set for the fall harvesting when polio struck. First, little 3-year-old Troy came down with the disease. Then Ronald, who is 10, contracted polio. A few days later, Charles, 12, and Patsey, 14, also went on the sick list. . Finally, Mrs. Stahl herself was afflicted. 1 The whole family was moved to St. Francis hospital, Wichita, leaving Stahl alone on his farm. For a while, he didn’t know what to do. The financial burden had been lifted through March of Dimes funds but the burden of work remained. Then his neighbors volunteered to take over his farm until the family was out of danger. These neighbors pitched in and Stahl went to town. For days, he kept a vigil at the bedsides of his wife and children. With the continued help of that other good neighbor, the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis, the family began to improve. Stahl went back to his farm comforted by the knowledge that his family was being cared for. His neighbors had done a won derful job of keeping things going on the farm. So he was able to carry on. Today Mrs. Stahl and three of the children are fully recovered. Charles, the 12-year-old, still has one partially paralyzed leg but Mrs. Stahl hopes he too will soon be well. “Then maybe,” she said, “it’ll all seem like just a bad dream.” The National Foundation hopes so, too. That’s why it has launched a huge polio prevention program involving gamma globulin and a trial vaccihe. If the program suc ceeds, families like the Stahls may be free of the polio threat forever.
