an hope. It set in motion the
greatest migration in history but
its fulfillment was beyond the abil-
ity Of migration alone to complete.
I'VE can bring the dream to it's
full life still, if we are willing.
Can? Louis Adamic leaves us
thinking, as we lay down an alb
sorbing book which holds the great
ness of challenge; we must, if we
are to reach the measure Of our
capacity, as an integrated nation,
in this world in which we live.
From Many Lands, however, is
no book or argument or EXPOSE

stories, told with simplicity and
enforced dramatic interest. They
are Illuminating and significant

eloquence is merely that of men
and women in their living; such
men and women, many of them, as
might be met in many places, if we
only knew.
I'm the heroic sweep of its ma
terial, the poetic thrust of the
authors noble simplicity, the every
day heroisms and dauntless
triumphs over disaster which are
the stuff Of which these lives are
lived, Louis Adamic has given us
such a saga as might be sung by
heroes of old. All our lives we
have looked back to such stories,
from the Argonauts and the Vik-
ings to our own pioneers, thrilling
to the legends, proud of the his
tory, praising famous men who
made our past. But they were not
so famous when they made it. They
were unheralded, ordinary folk,
most of them, like most of these.
at is so that in the greatness of
it's vital significance, its urgency
and hope, this book of Louis Adam

who shoveled the fifteen cubic feet
of crushed rock in the phenomenal
time of 2 minutes and II seconds.
Wruck, spending his day off work
in typical "Businessman's Holiday"
style, is connected with the Bur-
eau Of Public Roads force.
When asked what he planned to
do with the prize money, Wruck
said: IT think I'll just salt it away
for a rainy day"

time of 2:21 were Johnny Osborne
and Lloyd Gardner. The second

GARDENS, FIELDS AND
FLOWERS SHOW
UNUSUAL GROWTH

Announcement of some very
tall hollyhocks in a recent edi-
ton of the Herald, brought to
light that Mrs. J. A. Schoenhoff
has some of the varied colored
flowers that have grown to a
height of nine feet eight inches.
Abundant moisture in this COM
munity has caused flowers and
garden sass to grow in unlim-
tied measure. Some gardeners
boast of sweet corn almost four
feet in height and in tassle.
Corn on the cob will be a reg
ular part of the menu very
soon. Harvesting of rye was
commenced on some farms early
last week, and reports are that
the crop is better than normal.
