CHAPTER VI
(CHARACTERISTICALLY Julius
^ Peskin kept Bill late the night
of the dance. Hurrying to got
ready he had no chance to see
the evening Clarion. He was in
the bedroom knotting his tie when
Buck wheeled to the doorway.
“Heard the news Bill?"
Crouched before the mirror Bill
•hook his head.
“Landis has been fired."
“Say that again Buck" Bill
gasped.
“He ‘resigned’ following last
night's defeat" Buck continued.
“The man who takes his place
has a rough road ahead. Two
games left and less than a week
to get ready for the first one!"
“Could you do it Buck?"
“With luck fellow.”
Bill caught his father's shoul-
ders in an iron grip. “You’re go-
ing to get the chance Buck. Don’t
you see? Now we can really fight.
We don't have to worry about tak-
ing somebody's job. Every fellow
on the squad will put up a howl
for you."
Buck looked doubtful. “I don’t
know .
Bill said impulsively “And
when I see Dot—’’
“Dot?"
“Dot Skelton. I—I’m taking her
to the dance."
Buck frowned. “Bill you can't
treat a nice girl like Helen—"
His ears flaming. Bill dashed for
the door.
• • •
TkOT swept dowf to meet Bill
in a clinging black dress. She
pirouetted for his approval her
auburn hair glinting.
“New dress. Bill. Like it?"
“It’s pretty" Bill said morosely
thinking of another new dress.
Dot wrinkled her nose. “Well
it’s time to go. Dad's away on
school business. He said we could
have the car and Northrup to
drive us."
Bill climbed into the long black
sedan feeling out of place and
uncomfortable. Dot snuggled him
into a comer but romance was
for from Bill's mind. He could
talk only of Landis’ dismissal.
Dot squeezed his hand. “I did
that honey.”
“You what?"
“Last night after the game I
talked to Father" Dot said |
Bill and Bullethead
Battle at the Dance;
Buck Writes a Letter
■-■
smoothly. “He finally agreed that
I was right."
• • •
IT was a bad night for Bill. He
L struggled manfully to keep in
time with the music but after the
first attempt Dot found plenty of
excuses to dance with the other
boys. Bill made no objection. He
was glad to be alone.
He was leaning against the
bandstand when Bullethead Pes-
kin entered. His round little eyes
gleamed balcfully as they rested
upon Bill. Peskin swaggered to-
ward him bellowing "Where's my
girl. Mentor?”
Bill jamming his hands deep in
his pockets was determined not
to quarrel. "I don’t know Bullet-
head. Who'd you bring?”
“Don’t be funny” Peskin
sneered. “You know what I mean.
I dated Dot for this shindig tw’o
months ago.”
Bill said truthfully “I didn't
know that M
“Like heck you didn’t!” Bullet-
head seemed to mistake Bill’s
calmness for fear. He thrust his
head forward. “If you know
what’s good for you Mentor
you'll beat it.”
“Not unless Dot wants me to”
Bill retorted.
“You come outside” Bullethead
ordered. “We’ll settle this.”
Bill went white about the
mouth. With an effort he kept his
hands in his pockets. “I'll take
that up with you later” he grated.
“Oh no right now” Bullethead
said swinging a punch at Bill.
Bill ducked neatly but Peskm’s
knuckles took skin from his jaw.
Swiftly Bill's fists came out of
his pockets. Mr. Marx one of the
chaperons turned just in time to
witness the clean hard uppercut
that snapped against Peskin's jaw.
Bullethead wilted to the floor all
the fight gone out of him.
Mr. Marx grabbed Bill’s arm.
“What's the meaning of this Men-
tor?”
Before Bill could reply Dot
Skelton pushed through the crowd
of young people and announced
dramatically “They were fighting
over me Mr. Marx.”
“Is that true Mentor?”
“Yes sir.”
Marx a fussy little jnan said
nervously “From what I could
observe Mentor you were the
aggressor in this quarrel. I feel
called upon to inform your father
of the circumstances. In the
meantime 1 suggest that you
leave"
Hard knocks had taught Bill
Mentor no* to argue with those in
authority. He turned toward the
door without a word. Outside he
was surprised to find Dot at his
side. She took his arm and pressed
close to him.
“Bill you were marvelous! I’m
just so proud I could burst. Every
girl there was simply green with
envy.”
Bill's face was grim. “Did you
really tell Bullethead he could
take you tonight?”
Dot’s laugh floated lightly across
the frosty night. “What if I did.
Bill? That was a long time ago.
I like you so much better than
Bullethead.”
After a thoughtful silence Bill
said. “I guess Bullethead had a
right to be sore. Old man Peskin
too. I’ve got myself in a sweet
jam.”
“Nothing of the sort. Bill. I’ll
explain everyt ling to Father.”
"Will you?” Bill asked eagerly.
“I sure don't want to get in bad
with the board just now.”
"Don’t you worry Bill. I’ve
fixed things so far haven’t I?”
t • •
DUCK didn't mention the party
Sunday morning. He was en-
grossed in some work and Bill
spent most of the day reading. He
didn't leave the house.
It wasn’t until late Sunday that
Buck opened the subject. He sat
at a table writing.
“You haven’t said much about
the dance. Bill” he said quietly.
"Did you have a good time?”
Bill shifted his feet uneasily.
“Buck I—”
"I know alt abput it. Bill. Mr.
Marx called me.” Buck resumed
his writing.
“I'm sorry. Buck.”
Buck Mentor put down his pen.
No anger showed in his face but
his eyes were touched with sad-
ness.
“I don't know what this is all
about. Bill” he said. “But I know
jt isn’t like you to mistreat Helen
and then get in a brawl over an-
other girl.”
Buck waited and Bill knew he
was being given a chance to ex-
plain. But there was nothing he
could say—not without admitting
to Buck his real reason for taking
Dot to the dance.
Buck Mentor shrugged. “Okay
Bill you don't have to tell me.”
He folded the letter and placed it
in an envelope. “I want this to
go out in the morning. Bill.”
Bill's eyes pleaded mutely but
Buck avoided them.
He said “You can forget all that
nonsense about coaching West.
Somehow. Bill. I’ve lost your con-
fidence. I think this letter will put
me in a position to regain it.”

Slavery...
1940 Model
By NORMAN CHANDLER
ONLY the weight of pulh
lie opinion keeps you
free in America.
Think of that for a mo-
ment. If some Hitler or
Stalin or Mussolini could
only control your opinion
he could enslave you without
any force. That is the w ay
Hitler conquered Germany. He con-
trolled the press.
He told people only his side. He
told it over and over. Finally because
they had nothing else on'which to
base their opinions they all came to
agree with him.
Don’t make the mistake of believ-
ing that he forced people to agree with
him. True his supporters put a hand-
ful of people in concentration camps.
But the great mass of people were and
^rrr
are his supporters. They goose-step for
him give up necessities for him. They
are dying for him by the tens of
thousands.
You in America get all sides of all
questions. You get the Jacts plus the
opinions of all leaders delivered to
you in your daily newspaper.
When you have the facts you invar-
iably support the right mien the right
laws the right ways of life.
This right of yours to have the facts
is the key to freedom. Defend that
right—not for the sake of any neus^
paper but for your oun sake.
A
Sometimes you hear a critic say that
American newspapers have “too much
influence.” It is not the newspapers
phut have influence it is the mws~ -
.
the knowledge the Information the
accurate facts which they bring you.
Your newspaper equips you to have
influence. It fits you to dictate the
kind of government you prefer.
0 0 0
And there is another reason why
your newspaper keeps you free
A man can be enslaved politically
but he can also be enslaved economi-
cally.
You have heard of “comnanv stores**
at a mine or on a plantation where by
charging high prices and offering only
a limited supply of goods the “com-
pany” kept its workers broke.
Look through the paper you are
now reading. Notice the advertise-
ments and the news about the things
you need or want to buy.
The newspaper's advertising col-
umns are open to the makers and
sellers of every legitimate product.
When a man builds a better electric
iron or packs a better can of beans or
makes a fortunate purchase of dry
goods he tells you about it.
Here in these columns you can
compare values learn of new things
new uses. You thus equip yourself to
know when w here and how to get the
most for your money.
When a dictator wants to enslave a
group of people all he needs to do is
take away its news sources. Shut off
its newspapers and the news broad-
casts which the papers largely supply
to the radio stations. Then let him
take away the people’s right and
capacity to judge values and the job
is complete.
At the first faint whisper of an
attack upon your right to have all the
newFs of all kinds good and bad about
people and events about products and
services let me urge you to act. It
isn’t our freedom as publishers that
1 am worrying about. It is your free-
dom and mine as citizens.
