'piiimfWiighM By WILLIAM MAI TIIE PKOPOSAL XXXIV THE CCC had made stone fire places on a low bluff above Flax Pond in the State Park, and it was beside one of them, in the pine woods, that Shirley had her picnic. The whole crowd was there, the Mattcons and the Samuels and the Curriers and Ken and Debby. They had the pond all to them selves: there was nobody else in sight anywhere. Ken and Debby went down the path to the beach, to feel of the water, and it felt warm enough for swimming, even J it was October, so she and Ken ilrcve all the way back into town and got bathing suits for every- occiy. The water wasn't warm, of course, it was earned coid. but it It good, anyway, and afterwards ey ran on tire beach and did standing and running broad jumps, and Debby was glad she had come. The sun was just tip ping the trees on the other side of the lake, and the air wns get- ting cool rapidly, but Gordy had ot a good lire going in the fire place before they went in, and they had all brought sweaters and coats, and tney had a round of cocktails right away. Gordy start ed to broil the steaks as soon as everybody was dressed, and there was a big pot of ccrfee coming to a boil on the back cf the grill. As it got dark the mocn cr.me shining through the trees behind them, a bright moon that was only a couple of nights from the full. Debby took her sandwich back away from the fire and lay down on a blanket on the pine needles, with her coat wrapped warmly around her, and she lay there on her side, propping her head up with her hand so that she could watch the firelight flirkerir.2 on the feres of the other Unique Paint Job For Fishing Craft i Si.

Ken brought her one of the big enameled cups of coffee, and sugar and cream, and after he had taken them back he came and lay on the blanket beside her. They talked very softly, about how wild parties were all right in their place, but tliis was the sort of thing they really liked, only probably the best thing was to mix them up because if you did either one all the time it wouldn't be so much fun. THE moon was getting around to the south, so that they could see its reflection in a little cove beyond a rocky point, when Ken said, "Let's go out in the canoe." The water was calm, with faint intermittent ripples. "Shall I pad dle bow?" Debby asked. "Lcrd, no," said Ken. "We're not going to race anybody." He was arranging a back-rest against the forward thwart, and he put a couple of cushions against the back-rest. "There," he said. 'Sit there and I'll be able to see your face." "That ought to be a treat," she said dryly. She got in and re clined in the bottom, leaning back against the cushions and dangling her fingers in the water. Ken pushed off and paddled along the shore toward the rocky point and the little cove. 'Tt is," he said. "What?" "A treat to see your face." She smiled mirthlessly and nodded, as if to say she under stood the joke. "You don't believe me, do you?" She chuckled, closing her eyes listlessly. "Would you believe me if I told you you had one of the swell est faces I ever saw?" "No," she said without opening i her eves. jcral months instructing the Chi - & S'aSS" 'Amciican equipment. .

It has a small oblong leaf and grows from ten to thir ty inches high and bears a small white flower. When the seed is ripe it is blown by the wind as it has a fan like shape which will carry it for one-half mile in a hard wind. The milk and cream has a flavor sim ilar to spoiled cabbage or onions. When eaten by cows the milk cannot be drunk or the cream made into butter as the taste never leaves it even when boiled to 200 degrees. It should be cut or sprayed with 2-D-4 in spring or before the seeds become ripe. It can be found in pastures and along any road in Cass county. It is also known in some parts of the county as Fan Weed. Cut this weed before it costs the farmers hundreds of dollars in Cass county.

"No." ' "Would you believe me if I told ' you I was nuts about you?" , j "No." 4 ' '' ' : "Well, I am." j Debby said nothing. ' ;j "Why don't you believe me?" 1 "Because I think you've got ! some ideas in your head." "Ideas?" "Yeah. About what we might do before the night's over. And when a man has ideas in his head, he doesn't care what he says to a girL" Ken shook his head, smiling sadly. "Look," he said, "you and I have spent a lot of evenings to gether in the last year. We've driven a lot of places alone to gether in my car. Did I ever try to hold your hand until tonight?" "No." "Did I ever try to kiss you?" "Nope." "Did I ever show any other signs of having 'ideas'?" "Nope." "Will you marry me?" he asked abruptly. "When?" . "Tomorrow." ' She shook her head. "You can't j do it in this state.

She looked out at the quiet pond and the moonlit shore opposite, with the flickering light from the picnic fire in the trees. Finally she looked back at Ken with a ma ture, disillusioned smile.
