 The annual growth rings told the story to the man verscd on forest lore. For a year or two, the young tree had difficulty in surviv- ing the wounds that penetrated almost into it's heart Some of the cuts were clean, but one or. two were bruising, glancing marks as if the dull axe had been turned by the flores of the. wood Finally, as the years passed, the tree added to it's girth and new growth covered the gashes When it was cut down last week, it was live, growing tree with perfect surface, nothing being on the exterior to indicate the marks that lay buried 13 inches beneath the bark.
 A. c. Guerin. Chief Gadastral Engineer, who visited the Seelye camp Sunday, returned yesterday bringing with him the block of wood bearing the axe marks. It will probably be turned over to the Alaska Museum.

 'It is psychologically interest ing to watch Europeans try to understand our rhythm. Yet when they do get it, they go us one better. Their ballads have a lasting quality which many of our writers somehow fail to achieve. Probably it is the foreign inter- pretation, but there is something different in what they give us. As the younger generation abroad takes more and more to our music, expect to see most Euro pean music written in our rhythm"

 New hotels, business houses and office buildings have been erected. Two or three of the old and re- nowned cafes have disappeared to make room for commercial struc- lures.
 Before the war one could enter any of the little concert cafes and get glass of coffee for 50 centimes with a couple of songs thrown in.
 Now coffee costs 5 francs and there is no singing. To some that is the most momentous change.

This system permits the author
to hold up the mirror to family life
in all Of its beauty as well as its
bad side.
Goodwin makes no apology to what
goes on in these homes peopled by
both the good and the bad. He
has reproduced a certain slice Of
real life and the author offers no
apology.
If you should ask me who the
hero and the heroine are in THE
Eternal Forest I would have to tell
you that there really are none such
in this novel.
No individual really stands out as
the head man, the hero, the villain
and the like. The author really
paints the effect of the forest upon
human lives that rapidly change for
better or worse as civilization grasses
the outposts.
And in creating that study Of the
effect of nature upon men, Goodwin
has not only been intelligently sue
cessful, but he has correctly re-
corded certain phases in life that
has been completely wiped out by
the radio, the telephone. the rail-
road and the like
Human lives bloom or fade but

New Britain herald., 1929-02-27

Britain and Torrngton, were pres ent at the Plainville Congregational church, where the meeting took place. Dinner was served by the women of the church.
 In opening the meeting. Mr. Teich introduced Russell II. Patterson. president of the Torrington club. who spoke on the advantages of so- cial contact between civic club mem- bcrs. He said a Lions club was an ideal place in which members can rub elbows with those whom they would not ordinarily meet under different circumstances.
 Similar sentiments were expressed by B. Bolle, another officer of the Torington club.
 How the Lions club has function- ed in the civic upbuilding of New Britain was explained by P. r. king of New Britain. Mr. King character ized civic clubs as powers for good in community. He referred to the fact that men may differ in politics, religion or even be business com petitors and still keep their differ- ences on the plane of honest and friendly disagreements which do not interfere the slightest with their friendly relations.
 He told his hearers that for sev- eral years the New Britain Lions club has contributed approximately $l ,OOO to each of the two orphan ages in the city. He told the Plain- vile men that a new civic club here would be a great influence in help- ing to crystalize public opinion and concluded with the statement that the privilege of meeting group of men once a week whom one might not otherwise meet oftener than once or twice year was ample con- pensation in itself.
 l.. w. Vogel, of New Britain, in a semi humorous talk, brought out the fact that. to many motorists going through New Britain to New York. Plainvillc was '"just another step down the line" He caused a laugh when he said South ington had become ambitious and had branchcd out to the point where it now boasts traffic light.
