GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

scenes and events, disconnected and
yet pertinent to the theme of the
book The title, aptly chosen, re-
veals the intensity of the book.
There Is so little time for the work
ing out of the small life problems;
war is impending throughout, and
while the reading moves leisurely
the tempo increases almost imper-
eeptably at first, then to a dramatic
climax so real as to leave the reader
with an uncomfortable sense Of fore
boding. II is a book that needs TO
be read.
litter Run, by Robert F. Germann,
is one of those indelicate satirical
novels which will keep you chuck
ling, If you like humor with no holds
barred Utter Run Is a stream, but
the Utter family is something else.
You have your choice. Pompous old
colonies, dissolute sons. forgers, a
murderer, farmer who loves the
earth too well, and a COW, quite
unusual COW, equally at home in the
kitchen or pasture.
One of the first writers to give true
accounts of how official Germany
felt about the American entrance In
the war, or how they felt about
Allied landings in North Africa as
well as the constant counter-attack-
ing of the Russian army, was Arvid

A novel that isn't a novel, an
autobiography that may or may not
be true, is Walter Duranty's very
good book, Search For A Key. The
narrator Of the story is Oliver Joby,
an Englishman who was crippled in
the first World War. He became in
terested in political events and, as a
travelling newspaper man, his global
adventures, plus Mr.. Duranty's clear
cut opinions on many subjects, make
the book well worth reading
The Mother, by Vardis Fisher, is
one of those books that the world
needs to read The subtitle, 1.-THE
American Saga of Courage" is well
fitted since the courage of the
Mothers in the story is a fierce, pro-
tective force that keeps a starving
party from madness. The back
ground has been used before, the
story of the Bonner party, frozen in
on a Sierra pass. The terrible fol-
lies, the horrible suffering, are tests
for human nature and Mr.. Fishers
book is paean TO mothers who
think not of themselves but Of chill
dren, not necessarily their own, but
any ones children, who must be pre-
served at all costs
One of the fine, sensitive stories
OF Brazil is White Shore of 0llnda,
by Sylvia Leao. This is a book about
a well-loved fisherman and lace
maker who seems accursed. All the
robustness and delicacy that such a
combination might produce, is sim
ply told, yet the novel is full OF COM
passion and happiness II is a first
novel, and by Brazilian who has
lived in the United States for the
past ten years or more. With Latin
lyricism, Miss Leao has given to us
a fisherfolk, quite unlike our own, a
style as individual as a person, that
glistens and flows into a muticol-
ored pattern of beauty.
One source of wisecracks that will
last the summer is II. Allen Smiths
Life In A Putty Factory. Filled with
lightly barbed anecdotes, really
pungent stories of people not pop
ular with the author, the book is
lively and spiked. IL you are inter
ested in how New York talks and
lives, you will enjoy this. If you
don't like mems gossip, don't read It,
since it is book of choice tidbits.
SO Little Time, by John P. Mar

so much so that at the end it just
stops, like life. The plot is nom

What Is the Difference Between
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
and OId-Age Assistance?

Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
is for wage earners. II provides an
income for themselves and their
families when death or old-age cuts
off wages. This insurance is based
on the workers own wages in jobs
that come under the plan.
Old-Age Assistance is for people
after they are old and in want.
Through it, each State, with Federal
help, provides for its own needy
aged. Allowances paid under this
plan depend on the individuals own

HITLER ON SPOT AGAIN

LONDON, Jan. %. -H)- Inc
Germans hard-won and precious
Italian statement apparently was
smashed today by the American
British landing deep in their rear,
and Adolf Hitler was forced to-
ward another bitter decision as
the Allies took a big step forward
in their grand continental strategy.
Berlin had brought the deadlock
by swiftly throwing about % first
rate divisions into Italy after the
Allied invasion of the peninsula
and the fall of Benito Mussollnl.
AS badly as they needed troops, 1t
was a good bargain for the Ger
mans in prestige and military re-
turns as long as they we're able to
hold the Allies and retain Rome.
But if the new Allied Judgement
sticks-and first reports indicated
it would-Hitler will be forced to
decide quickly whether to with
draw in haste from the southern
line to have his troops from pos
sible entrapment, to fight it out to
the end with what he has in the
battle area, or to send IN fresh
strength and try to rectify the dis
advantage thrust upon him.

There appeared to be little

to develop in desperate effort
to stave off what might become

To assure this, Allied heavy
