Gratitude for his efforts to help

"On behalf of the Society of Ma

to take this means of expressing to
you our appreciation of your action
in continuing your efforts, looking
toward national representation for
the citizens of Washington.
I'VE were particularly gratifed to
learn that you have joined hands
with Representative Summers Dem-

passage of his resolution. I cannot
thank you too much for your long
standing interest and sincere efforts

Bar Group 10 Report

The District Bar Associations
Building Committee, which has been
studying proposals for renting or

report to members of the organiza-
ton at meeting at 8 pm. tomor-
row at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
The committee held long con-

its chairman. F. Regis Noel, but re-
fused to disclose whether any action
was taken. Mr.. Noel said full re-
port on the question would be made
to the Bar Associations meeting to-
morrow.
Another question to be considered
at the meeting is the admission of

cidents, characterization and his
torical facts for other books"
Mr.. Swanson traces his consum-
ing interest in Colonial history to
the fact that his father was SWed-
ish immigrant and that he himself
grew up close to the remnants of
the frontier. During his own boy
hood in Minneapolis, there were
battles between the Indians and the
regulars" in Minnesota.
When Mr.. Swanson was 8, his
family moved from Minneapolis
proper to rural Wayzeta.
Work for a Lifetime.
He exhausted most of the stand
ard histories in his childhood days,
and for his books now gets most of
his material first hand from original
records and his own Investigations.
IT don't believe in writing about
a place I haven't seen," he says.
For one of his projected books, a
fictionized biography of famous
American naval officer, he has Wis
tied Gibraltar, Algiers, Cartagena,
Haiti, Italy and France. Then, fol-
the same novel, he studied over 100
volumes.
He often visits battlefelds to
check details of official reports of
engagements and even has taken
colored movies so he can describe
the landscape in a given season &C
curately.
One of Mr.. SWanSon'S striking de-
vices is telling a story in the homely,
colloquial language of the central
character-a method he finds help
full to an unbiased viewpoint.
He relaxes from his writing by
digging in his garden. playing
"lousy" table tennis. going to the
movies and travelling.

Baltimore Editor
Writing 80 Novels
In His Spare Time
5000 Words q Week
Is Literary Budget
Of Neil Swanson
BY GLADWIN HILL,

BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.-If you
ever have struggled over a 10-word
telegram or a four-line thank-you
note you may be awed and inter-
ested by, in contrast, the biggest
one-man literary project of modern
times.
1t is a projected series of 80
novels, each complete in itself, but
all dovetailed by characters and
settings to form an integrated pic
ture of 200 years of American his
tory.
The man who has undertaken
this lifetime task is heaVy-set,
serious minded but pleasant Balti-
morean named Neil Swanson, who
already has one full-time job, the
managing editorship of one of the
Nations leading newspapers, the
Baltimore Evening Sun.
Friends were surprised a few
years ago when the busy Mr.. Swan
son casually began batting out solid
and successful historical novels like
"The Forbidden Ground" and The
Judas Tree" but so far they've
found nothing to compare with his
new project.
First Is a Best Seller.
When Mr. SWanson's project first
was disclosed, some people dis
missed it with the idea that it
must be just a publicity stunt or
just some pot-boilers like Horatio
Alger.
Mr.. Swanson has successively eX-
ploded these notions. He convinced
rar & Rinehart, of his sincerity
and ability to the extent that they
entered into a contract-commit-
ting him to write the 30 books
and they to pay him as the books
materialized.
The first of the series is already
out. The Silent Drum of last
week the ninth best selling fiction
book in the country. And Mr. Swan
son has nine more of the series we'll
under way. And far from being pot
boilers, they are the products Of
painstaking research, effort and
care.
It would take. if not superman,
at least some kind of human dy-
namo to accomplish this project,
and Mr.. Swanson fulflls that spec
ification. He is not the arm-waving,
hair tearing movie managing edi-
tor. Tall and husky, with ciose-cut
hair and mouStache. he gives the
impression of controlled power.
He Budgets His Words.
His method in tackling this COL
ossal job is simply budgeting him
self 5000 words a week-at which
rate, the series probably will take
at least 20 years.
I've found that writing like rid
tng a bicycle, is matter Of habit
and not inspiration" he SAYS. Il

He keeps to this schedule fairly

tently farther and farther away
from me as I progress. I tend to

energy until I have to ease up.

I've realized that I've got to be a

erage doesn't. I have depressing

National defense may give the
Camp Fire Girl new interests and
duties to perform" says Miss Eldora
DeMots, Associate Field Secretary
of the Camp Fire Girls for the
Northwest District, "but it gives her
good reason, too, to carry on what
she has been doing in service to her
home and community, only doing it
better than she ever has before"
Tall and friendly, with hrmor-
GUS twinkle in her eye. Miss DeMots
is particularly gratified in these
times to be carrying on program of
education in Camp Fire leadership
and membership extension. For the
past three years she has concentrat-
ed her work in the state of Washing
ton, Oregon, Montana and Idaho.
The second Camp Fire Law, Give
Service" holds the spotlight these
days for 300, 900 Camp Fire Girls, &C
cording to Miss DeMots, who points
out that by stressing this phase each
girl may carry out her regular pro-
gram, winning honorS in the seven
crafts, at the same time contributing
to the national emergency.
"Our purpose is to provide well
rounded personal development thru
group experience" Miss DeMots ex-
plains "The girl who enters into
the spirit of the Camp Fire program
not only should increase her skill,
but find enrichtng experiences"

Barge Fails to
Arrive for
Dedication Rites
Delegates to river con-
vention see facilities at
head Of navigation

As a special feature in connection
with the annual meeting Of the In
land Waterways Association, an in
Spection and dedication of the ports
Of PaSco and Ksnnewick was ar
ranged for Wednesday OF this week.
Delegates, to the number Of about
ninety, came to inspect the facili-
ties here for the handling of the
rapidly developing river traffic. In
addition to the delegates a large
number Of citizens Of Kennewick and
Pasco also took the opportunity Of
inspecting the developments at the
head Of navigation.
The days program started with an
inspection of the local industrial
plants in both cities. The steel con-
struction plant near Sacajawea park,
now closed down, was the first point
on the tour. The Northern Pacific
roundhouse, yards and car shops
was the second stop. The Pasco air
port was the next, followed by visit
to the PaSco dock, elevator and oil
storage tanks,
Then came an inspection OF the
Columbia Marine ShipyardS on the
Kennewick side, the Kennewiclc
dock, elevator and terminal, the
Kennewick warehouses, produce
row, packing and processing plants.
Some Of the visitors were interest
ed in seeing the new Twin City all
green golf course, the Church grape
Juice plant and vineyards and the
new addition to the plant.
At aboBts,noon, the bands Of the
Kennewick and Pasco schools head
ed parade Through PaSco and to
the Kennewick Methodist church
where the luncheon was served TO
nearly the $50 men and women who
were interested. sa.e..
This meeting was presided over by
Virgil Bennington, OF Walla Walla,
who introduced the mayors Of the
nearby surrounding towns, visiting
dignitaries, etc. in an interesting and
witty manner. Short speeches were
made by the mayors, but most Of the
/ others introduced were given merely
the opportunity Of taking a bow.
In the afternoon the crowd adj
journed to the Pasco port, where
dedication ceremonies were under
taken, with explanatory speeches be-
ing made by officials of the district.
The main feature OF the day, the
arrival Of the first bargeload Of oil
proved an anticlimax, for, due 10
fog on the lower reaches Of the
river, the craft didn't arrive in time
for the visitors TO see.
The official opening OF the Water
ways convention took place at the
banquet in Walla Walla that eve
ming, the visitors leaving in time
Ito be present at that function.
