The Work Interests Room
BY OHve Chace,
In Charge, Work Interests Room. Public Library

More than half Of the average
wage earners waking hours are
spent in the business Of earning a
living. Whether these hours on
the job are to bring personal sat
Sfaction to the worker and pro-
vide him and his family with the
economic basis for good life will
depend upon many things. Some of
these are beyond the control of the
individual worker. Others are his
direct responsibility: The skill he
carries to the task at hand, his
ability to adjust himself to his fell
low-workers and to his supervisors,
his capacity for advancement and
his grasp of the total situation of
which his work is part.
What an employe does on the lob
is always important to him, but to-
day as perhaps never before it is
likewise important to his fellow
countrymen. 1t is, therefore, in the
expectation that to help each Wash
ington worker make the most of
whatever job he has Is to aid both
that individuals career and the war
effort that the Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV, Is estab-
fishing a new open-shelf room to
be known as the Work Interests
Room.
Government being the chief bus
lness OF the Nations Capital, the
new collection will emphasize the
clerical skills, personnel admins
tratlon and public administration.
But 1t will also contain books on
the major problems common to most
wage earners from the time they
Evening star., 1943-01-17

write their first letter Of applica-
ton to the day they apply for an
old-age pension or for Government
retirement.
What information about my edu-
cation and experience will my pro-
spective boss expect me to have at
hand? With what rules of business
etiquette should I be acquainted?
How can 7 improve my filing tech
nique? What should I know about
employer-employe relationso Shall
l become a part Of the trade-union
movement? What occupational haz-
ards must I be prepared to meet?
What interest should I as wage
Garner have in the social and eco
nomic problems before the country?
To answer these and other ques-
tions, such books as the following
will be available through the Work
Interests Room; The Secretary's
Handbook" by Sarah A. Taintor;

The Valley of Decision
BY Marcia Davenport. (Scrtt

By Marcia Davenport. (Scrtb-
ner's.)
This is book that combines a
scope OF scene and a depth of per-
ception that is unusual. Combine
these with well-rounded, well-in-
tegrated plot, written with feeling
for words and rhythm, and you have
a book that will stay in the mind a
long, long time.
The story starts in 1873, when g.
tlmid shanty Irish girl applies for
her first job as housemaid In the
home of William Scott, ironmaster,
OF Pittsburgh. 1t traces not only her
life and that of the family she
serves, but the life and growth of
the Scott Iron Works and, through
1t. the steel industry in this country.
This Is theme that can lend itself
to dramatic writing, and Miss Dav-
enport makes the most OF her op-
portunities. Her descriptions OF the
steelmaking processes have the color
and fire and fury that must be
evoked in the artistically sensitive
by the various stages of the evolu-
ton Of that metal.
She brings the same fire and in
sight to bear on her characterize
tions. Unlike many books which pic
ture many members of one family,
this book presents the individuals OF
its family as real entities. While
family resemblances, both of char
acter and form, exist, they are re-
semblances, not identities. Mary, the
Irish maid, who in time assumes
the role Of family spirit or soul, is,
OF course, the heroine of the novel.
Her nobility and her passion for a
self -sublimation are the core of the
book. And while the reader may not
agree with her reasoning and her
self-sacrifice at all times, he cannot
help feeling, as did all the SCOTS,
that here is real person 1t is she
who points out the function of the
steel mill not only in the annals of
the Scott family, but in the history
Of the Nation. The first William
Scott carries it through the Civil
War; Paul, the hero of the book, car
ries it through both the Spanish
American and the First World Wars,
and the book ends with Claire, the
last and in many ways the most tas-
cinatlng Of the tribe, triumphantly
entering 1t on its phase in the pres
| ent war.
Many other factors besides those
SO briefly mentioned here help make
this one Of the most interesting OF
recent novels. The growth of labor
unions, the smart international set
the founding Of the CzechosloVak
Republic sound very remote from
the Pittsburgh scene. Yet all are
indubitably part of this fascinating
story and all are described with
equal zest and authority.

Out of the Blue
BIZ Robert Wilder.

by HOOerI W1tder. (PUtHdm'S. J
The fashion In reportorial men,
oirs Is changing. Until recently. II
was the foreign correspondents who
did the reminiscing. Then came
Meyer Berger's "The Eight Million ~
and a new trend was started-or,
rather, an old one was revived.
That trend was born several wears
ago with Max Millers highly sue
cessful Il Cover the Waterfront" !"
Thereafter, other reporters rushed
into print-not only between book
covers, but in magazines and news
papers-to announce that they COW
cred this, that or the other thing.
But the war killed that trend be-
fore 1t had run its natural course.
Covering the waterfront, or this. that
or the other thing, seemed a rather
anemic assignment alongside Of
covering the war.
Now, though reporters books
about their war experiences continue
to pour from the presses, there are
increasing signs that the public is
more than little weary of them.
After all, they are, with few
notable exceptions, pretty much
alike.
The same may be said of such
works as Il Cover the Waterfront"
THE Eight Million" and Out of the
Blue" except that, at present, the
vein has not been overworked.
There is still plenty of gold in them
thar mountains. In fact, Out OF the
Blue" proves it.
Mr.. Wilder is the author of two
novels, God Has a Long Face and
"Flamingo Road" But he was a
reporter before he was a novelist,
and "Out of the Blue" demonstrates
that he still is reporter, and a very
good one.
There are 36 stories in Out of the
Blue" all different, all well done.
There is adventure, mystery, pathos,
humor-all the story elements in
which reporters deal daily. THE
Informal Diary of a Reporter" Mr..
Wilder subtitles his book, and this
reviewer cannot improve on that ex-
cellent description. He can only add
that readers in general-and, of
course, newspaperfolk in particular
should find it thoroughly enjoyable
piece OF work. PHILIP H. LOVE.
