A Book a Day
By BRUCE CATION

0y 0HOCE CAITON
 It is interesting to try to figure out just what this "Spell of the northland" really consists of. The frozen north is from all accounts one of the most monotonous and unpleasant regions, on earth; it is cold, dreary, hostile, and barren, guaranteed to give all corners g beating. Yet people who go there are fascinated-and we stay-at- homes all we can get about it.
 Part of the answer, perhaps, is contained in Robert Flahertys "The Captains Chair" (Scribner's: $2.5O).
 MT. Flaherty spins yarn about adventure on the shores of Hudson Bay; about lone white man who undertakes to study mineral deposits in the bleak regions north of the timberline and makes prodigious winter sledge journeys; about Es- kimos who get cast away on desolate Arctic islands and carve out liv- ing for themselves against unbe- ievable odds; and about a ship captain who fights gales, fogs, ice, uncharted reefs, and all the per- verse cussedness of Arctic mis- fortune.
 It's exciting reading, and fasci- hating to boot; but what makes it so fascinating? Why do we get pleasure out of identifying ourselves with men who are up against the primal realities of cold, darkness, and hunger? Why is it somehow so prodigiously moving to get 8 preview of what the last man will see before the last curtain comes down?
 Figure it out if you can. Whatever the reason, "The Captains Chair" has an appeal beyond that of mere adventure stuff," and it makes ideal reading for cold autumn evening by warm fire.

cists, whose object Is to train the
youth that they may meet the stu
ations OF the future in the right
way. Relative to this controlling the
youth when very young, Father
Kennedy said Hitler has q perfect
organization, from which other ma
tions would learn lesson. In
speaking Of the appalling results OF
this control In Germany, he pointed
out that 1t should be the task Of
other nations, especially our own, to
start training the youth, but not
In the Hitler way, which Is to defy
himself rather than God. He
stated that Jocisrn, the Catholic
Youth movement in France, was
succeeding, and that such methods
should be adopted In this country as
our future depends on the youth OF
the country. In conclusion Father
Kennedy said 1t would be far better
that, instead Of raising q right hand
as does the Fascist and the left as
the Communist, to emulate Him
who raised both hands In blessing
Ills people.
