WHAT PEOPLE SAID
w. l.. White

America to the core, this story
of Athena, Oklarada, and of two
families Of its leading citizens be-
gins as a picture of a familiar way
of life-the small-towp, middle-wes-
tern, postwar life, contented and
somewhat self-satisfied. The Car
roughs and the Norssexes stood for
the right, progressive things in At
hena. One owned the newspaper,
an influence in the state; the other
managed the power company, own
ed an important bank. Their friend
ship was a factor in civic affairs.
Their sons were growing up in the
pattern.
Presently from this background
there arises a young get-rich-quick
Wallingford, in all Of his part a
product of these surroundings and
the conflicts that were inherent in
them. Athena and Oklarada watch
his career. Along the soda counter
at Davie Hughes drug store, across
the Merchants Round Table at
Tifford's Tea Room, over at the
country club on Saturday night, out
in the farmland, down on the other
side of the tracks, and up at the
state capital, we hear what people
are saying about Lee Norssex and
his fabulous rise in finance via pol
itics. The climax is scandal which
enmeshes the leading citizens, in
nocent and guilty; changes the pat
tern of friendships; and involves
the town and the state in 'front.'
page drama.
What people said Is a colloquial,
rapid story of a man skyrocketed
by ambitions beyond his control.
But it is more than that: 1t Is a
back-stage view into the politics, in
dustry, society, philosophy of the
people who voice the public opin-
ion of a nation. The state Of Ok
larada appears on no map. and At
hena Is a name chosen at random,

FREE LAND
Rose Wilder Lane
This Is the story of the days when
great adventure lay in conquest Of
the prairies. In the eighties, when
Minnesota was well settled and far
mers prosperous, David Beaton left
his home and started off with a
pair of thoroughbreds and his young
bride to make good his claim OF
three hundred acres Of grass land
in Dakota.
He was nineteen years old and
made of bone and muscle. He knew
farming and he had thousand dol
lars, but he did not know the rig
ors Of Dakota weather and that he
was to experience arctic SHOWS,
prostrating heat, misery, and hun
ger.
AS he drove west with his little
wife, he had his rIrst sample Of
blizzard. Later, he was to learn
the nature of cyclones, droughts
and SHOWS that isolated them for
days in their sod-house shanty. In
the spring, he came to know the
tenacity Of prairie grass.
The transcontinental railroads
were spreading their tentacles over
the country and David's land lay
along their prospective route. Ov-

Parallel Parking

Realizing the necessity for regulations in the
parallel parking ordinance the Community Club COM
mittee has made recommendations for changes which
will benefit the motorist These regulations have
been offered after it found that the State High
way Department does not favor return to angle
parking streets less than seventy feet in width
The highway department has control of eighteen feet
in the middle of the street. and figures show accord
ing to officials, that most accidents in cities
when cars back away from the pavement. We realize
that many people do not like parallel parking but
it seems that it is here to stay and will have
to make the best of it. Parking lots will be provided
and until proper regulations can be adopted people
asked to bear any inconvenience that may result
1t is not the intention of the police department to
arrest those who park improperly but according to
Mayor wager, they will give every assistance to the
motorist, and will attempt to educate all people in
the method of parking their they should be
under the law.
