Pemberton was regarding' her with amused awe. "Mr. Pemberton," said Dixie, "could that lost instruction sheet be in your brief case? "WHAT?" The lamb became a lion again. "Now see here, young ladydon't try to cover up incompetence by blaming me!" "Oh, Mr. Pemberton cooed Wendy, holding his open brief case in one hand and a sheet of notes in the other, 'Jcould this be it?" Wendy laughed and winked at Dixie.

"Still up to his old tricks. He hasn't changed a bit." She turned to Ann. "How does he treat you? A lap full of dictation just as you powder your nose to go home?" Ann's face reddened. Mr. Pemberton choked on his cigar.

"You know, kids" said "a movie studio can be every bit as hectic and nerve-wracking as this office. And for the same reason." She smiled at Mr. Pemberton and touched his arm. "Mr. here, is a lot like, my director.

They're both swell guys underneath, but they've allowed their work to swallow them up! They think of themselves as parts of 'a big machine that must never stop running."

Baylis, and J. R. May-field, owners of Harris Drug Co. have been honored by Rexall Drug Co. for their outstanding records during the Company's 50th.

Anniversary year of 1953, according to information received by the local druggists this week. Baylis and Mayfield have been awarded a specially inscribed gold watch as a personal momento of the occasion. In addition, they have been enrolled in the Rexall Golden Anniversary Club, whose members will have their names inscribed on. a bronze plaque at the Company's world-headquarters in Los Angeles. Commenting on the honor, the local drtiggists attributed it to the increased patronage they had received from local shoppers during 1953.

"People of this community res-, ponded wonderfully to the special values that were able to offer them in 1953," they remarked. "We're certainly grateful for their patronage, and we can promise them that in 1954 we'll show our appreciation byproviding even better service and values than we did last year." CRAIN-WESLEY FACTS!

"Miss Parker! Didn't you find that instruction sheet yet? If you'd only learn to file things in the right place Miss Locke I'll be back at two. Get that mimeograph repaired and run off Hob-son's order. And see if you can't clean up this place. Looks like Lacey's Basement on Bargain Day. Remember, Wendy Wicker is coming back with me and I expect everything to be running smoothly!" The door banged behind him.

"That," groaned Dixie Parker, "is all this mad-house needs. A visiting celebrity!" She yanked open another file drawer. "Did Wendy Wicker really work here before she won that Hollywood movie contract?" i Ann Locke shrugged. "That's what the boss says. She's visiting her folks this week and he's showing her off at the business men's luncheon.

Huh! I'll bet he didn't give her a ton of dictation just at quitting time every day!" For the next two hours, Ann worked frantically on the stubborn mimeograph machine, while Dixie tore the files apart. "Here we are!" announced Mr. Pemberton, ushering a lovely blonde in black velvet through the door. His smile froze. "Miss Wicker," he said stiffly, "I must apologize for my staff.

They had orders to clean vip this office before you arrived." Wendy's laugh was warm and friendly. "Hi, kids! Don't let him scare you." Dixie and Ann laughed nervously. Wendy pointed a white glove at the mimeograph machine. "Don't tell me that old wreck's still around? What's it doing having hiccups again?" "Great Scott!" yelled Mr. Pemberton.

"Calm down, Mr. said Wendy. She pushed Ann gently aside and began tinkering with the grimy machine. THERE'S hardly a home where leftovers don't appear on the menu occasionally. Here are some good ways to heat some of the more common foods easily and quickly.

Rolls are heated to the top part of a double boiler, especially If they're small and you don't have the oven on for something else. Have water in the bottom boiling, EECIPE OF THE WEEK Sunday Supper Pie (Serves 6) 4 tablespoons chopped onloa 1 tablespoon bacon fat 1 pound ground beef 1 can condensed tomato souji teaspoon salt Pastry for 2-crust pie Heat oven to moderate (375 Cook onion slowly in fat until soft. Add beef; brown lightly. Blend in soup and salt. Line 9-inch pie pan with pastry.

Moisten edges with cold water Pour In meat mixture. Cover with top crust. Bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour. pop the rolls In the top part, cover and heat for 40 minutes or until they're piping hot. Leftover slices of meat? You don't want them to dry out, so wrap in foil.

Heat in a hot oven for about 10 or 15 minutes, unwrap and serve at once. Mashed squash, turnips or sweet potatoes can be heated nicely in the top part of the double boiler. Add a bit of water or melted butter If the vegetables seem dry. Leftover rice is best when heated In a colander placed over a saucepan of boiling water. Stir gently with a fork while heating for about 10 minutes.

Vegetables, if heated In extra liquid, easily become soggy and unpalatable. Why not place them In a skillet with some melted butter and turn over a few times with a spatula while they heat? This takes only a few minutes and will not overcook the vegetable. Columbia Native Is Promoted On Wall Street Journal Staff DALLAS (Special) Appointment of Gilbert E.
