Among the Authors
BY Carolyn Coggins

| To us the most fascinating cities
in this country are San Francisco
and New Orleans. Cities are not
usually fun unless they are ones
home. They hold out little beyond
loneliness, disappointments and ex-
pense to those who visit them. But
with these two it is different. In
them is a sense of the past which
keeps the newcomer company as he
wanders around their streets. All
this comes to mind because of q
handsome book which just reached
our desk, a collection of Louisiana
folk tales which no one will want
to miss if they ever have been, or
ever expect to become, an admirer
of New Orleans. Lyle Saxon, Rob-
Iert Tallant, and Edward Dreyer
have collected the stories in "Gumba
Ya-Ya." Only state which was
first French colony, then Span
ish, where thousands of slaves were
imported and which was almost a
hundred years old before it became
"a part of the United States, could
have such tales to tell.
In spite of the title he selected for
a little book ITO He'll With Fish
ing" Ed Zern does not feel that
way about the matter at all. In
fact, he once thought of being psy-
choanalyzed to learn just why
wading stream against the current
and casting his trout fly on the
waters filled him with such ecstasy.
His wife treasured him with the re-
minder that since he is happy man
whose life is not being ruined by
this mania for fishing, he had better
just accept it.
Since we have waded into his per-
sonal life, we may as well say here
that he has two children, a boy 5
who may understand some day why
his father named him Brook, and
a little girl of !, who, his wife pre-
diets, will probably follow her father
fishing while the son takes up the
horses or something.
At the moment his life is full. He
