*‘/"\H, STOP laughing and help me
get loose!” Sue wailed as she
looked up into the mirthful eyes of
the stranger.
“I didn’t mean to make fun of
you. but you do look queer stuck
there in a foot of water,” he said,
unfastening the seat of Sue’s mas
culine trousers from the barbed wire
fence running out into the lake. He
helped her up and, as their hands
touched, neither spoke. "You must
be Pop Sorensen’s daughter and
you’re seining minnows for the week
end tourist rush. You don’t believe
all that witchcraft about thunder
storms, boat colors and such foolish
ness, do you?” he asked.
“I have faith in what Dad says.
Our guests never go home empty
handed and they think he’s the best
guide around here,” she replied.
"Well, your dad has scientific
competition now,” he warned.
She gathered up the two pails of
live minnows and started back to
Piny Point. She reproached herself
for listening to the stranger’s talk,
but there was something about his
calm assurance and the gentle way
he had helped her to her feet that
held her interest. "There’s no way
of getting around fisherman’s luck
no new scientific tricks we don’t
know about, are there, Dad?” she
asked at dinner.
“You’re darned tootin’ there ain’t.
Say, you haven’t been talkin' to that
aew guide, fresh out of the marines,
feller named Ted Holbrook, have
“I’m warning’ you to keep away
from Susan.”
you?” Sue felt the color rush to her
cheeks.
“Ah ha, I thought so. Well, see
It don't happen again,” he warned.
“The boy’s been farin’ pretty well,
even ignorin’ all the signs a feller
in his right mind ought to heed. But
it’s all fisherman’s luck.”
But Ted's luck didn’t change and,
as the word spread that he was
sending his guests home with full
strings. Pop Sorensen lost a lot of
business. On week-ends when Sue
went out on the lake, she could see
Ted and his guests in Ted’s new
white boats and more than once her
heart stood still when she knew he
was watching her across the still
water. One evening he appeared at
the Sorensen cabin.
“Howdy, Miss Sue,” he said. “We
haven’t met much lately and 1 was
wondering if you’d like to go to the
dance with me Tuesday.”
“Oh, Ted, you shouldn’t have
come. I’d love to go with you, but
Dad . . .” Just then Pop Sorensen
stormed into the room.
"I’m warnin' you to keep away
from Susan and off my property,
young feller.” he roared. "Anyone
who's been sayin’ the things around
town you have isn’t welcome on Piny
Point.”
"See here,” Ted proposed, “we
ean prove who’s right and decide
about the dance at the same time.
I bet I send my week-end guests
home with more fish than you do,
Pop Sorensen. And if I win, Susan
goes to the dance with me.’’
Saturday was gray at first and
Ted’s party went into the lead as
folks all around Chippewa Lake anx
iously awaited the outcome. Later
the sun came out During the aft
ernoon Pop Sorensen’s luck changed
and his boats began to fill with bass
and sunfish.
As they compared totals after din
ner Ted’s party trailed by ten. "It’s
just what I was sayin’, young feller,
your beginner’s luck has changed.
You got to abide by the tried and
true rules to come out ahead in the
long run,” Pop chided. Ted looked
around for Sue but she was nowhere
to be seen.
"And if you’re huntin’ fer Susan,
I don’t know where she went. You
won’t be seein’ her after tomorrow’s
haul is counted, anyway,” Pop add
ed.
Pop Sorensen, sure his fisherman’s
luck had changed the day before,
was dumbfounded to learn at dusk
that Ted was ahead two sunfish in
the two-day total. “That’s a pretty
slim margin,” Ted observed as he
stood with Sue on the Piny Point
dock. “There must be something in
old-fashioned fisherman’s luck, aft
er all. But we'll never leave any
thing to chance again, you and-1,”
he said, taking her hands in his as
she looked fondly up at him. “Say,
what’s this on your hands. Sue?”
“Oh, that . . . that’s just some
green paint that wouldn’t come off,"
she answered. "Your white boats
looked so terribly bright when the
sun came out yesterday, and paint
ing even the bottoms after dark is a
messy job."

A Glamour Cake is a Sure Way to
Win Enthusiastic GI Compliments
IF you are one of the war brides
yearning to register as a queen
cook when your serviceman hus
band returns, it’s good strategy
to concentrate on baking a luscious
cake. The fragrance of fresh-baked
goodies in the home kitchen is one
of the thrills that GIs have been
dreaming about while they munch
ed their K rations. Fortunately for
beginner cooks, the assignment of
turning out a glamour cake that
will be sure to win ecstatic compli
ments from your returning bride
groom is easy, thanks to the new
mix-easy methods. So even if your
culinary experience is strictly lim
ited to the gas plate makeshifts
that were the sorrow of so many
army wives along the camp circuit,
plan now on baking a masterpiece
cake as a welcome surprise for
your returning serviceman.
Even if you are low on sugar
supplies, you can manage to turn
out a cake that will make GI
dreams of home baked delicious
ness come happily true with special
recipes that use sugar substitutes.
You can make sure that your cake
will have a lovely, even, grain and
melting tenderness by using spe
cial cake flour. And by following
the new mix-easy method you’ll
achieve featherlight results with
only three minutes’ beating time;
and there’ll be a minimum of
dishes to wash. Don’t let a sugar
dearth spoil your ideas of a glam
our frosting. Jelly filling and gob?
of whipped cream are one of many
sugar-saving ways to provide a lus
cious topping for your masterpiece.
Or you might make a corn syrup
frosting or use a prepared pudding
to provide a lavish topping.

Avenue Grade School is protesting
against the DAR. ban against Ne

tofore the class had been winning

out of the contest and then protest
against the DAR’s action against
pianist. Hazel Scott.

this principle involved was more
important”, said 12 year old Ron
ald Traum, youngest boy in the
class. There are no Negroes in the
8th Grade in this school and few in
the neighborhood, yet when the
DAR controversy broke, the kids
immediately thought of Billy Lee,

got the biggest hand when his name
was called at the graduating exer
cises”, said Edward Sable, 13 year
old class president.

luck in the world and hope he mak
es good."

“This Association wishes to

game ot baseball,
“We do not need to tell you that
you have many admirers among
Negro bo* bail fans in Detroit and
all over the country who believe
you to be a great hitter and all
around first baseman. We are sure
that when they «ee your statement
about Robinson you will have even
more of their admiration. We wish
you more years of success.”
