Birds and Bounty

Familiarity breeds contempt. they say,
but in many of us it is not contempt that
prompts us To overlook our feathered
friends, but abstraction. We are inclined
TO keep our eyes turned inward, over
looking many of the simpler beauties OF
life.
What could be simpler than just bird!
In our occupied way we see him, hear
him, and ignore him. Yet, by pausing for
a moment and partaking of his sponta-
neous gaiety We too are enjoying the
pleasure that prompts him TO sing.
His tiny life is spent in hard struggle
10 find food, for himself and perhaps for
the fledglngs. If someone makes his lot
easier by spreading a few bread crumbs
for him, he rewards you with a song, not
because he is overwhelmed with graft
tude, but because he receives the extra
portion that comes his way with the SIM
pie JOY with which it is given.
We can take tip from the birds; not
that we should go around "twitterlng
all day, but let's be grateful for kind
word or friendly gesture. Don't let's
poison our minds by thinking its not
enough" or they got more than | did.
Accept it simply and be glad that someone
remembered to be kind.

10000 Health Agencies

During the war, any civilian who was
not doing some kind of volunteer so
cial" work-whether it was acting as an
air raid warden or driving an ambulance
must have felt strong sense OF guilt
over being a shirker.
In peacetime, however, there is no par
ticular onus attached to confining ones
interests to personal and confining mat
ters.
We were rather amazed by a report
on private, volunteer health work which
was recently released by the National
Health Council. For it showed that there
are 10000 health agencies in our coun-
try directed by 100000 volunteer direc-
tors and hundreds of thousands of addl-
tional volunteer workers. 1t also showed
that these agencies receive S50,0O0,OOO
each year in contributions from generous
Americans.
In order that those public-spirited citi-
zens who support these agencies will
get the best possible results for their sac
rifices of time and money, we strongly
approve the plan, recommended by the
study, for a coordinated national pro-
gram to guide these volunteers in their
work and to unity and strengthen their
financial support.

final draft Of Star of the. Un-

tomorrow. The author who gave
the whole world THE Song of

A few exciting figures appear in
connection with several of those

Yeomon's S Proqress

Iii,

By Douglas Reed. (BObbS-Mer-
rill; s275J
A biographical novel following the
course of the present century and
covering the European scene, this
work suffers from a routine handi-
cap. It's author never seems to
be able to decide whether he is
writing the history of a man or the
history of the mans time. Beyond
that, the book is a reasonably in
telligent evaluation brought off in
a clean astringent style.
1t is the story Of Mark Yeoman,
son of an impoverished son of a
well-to-do English landowner. 1t
takes Mark through a shameful
childhood in a desperately genteel
alley fiat in the city of Brighton
it gets him into youth full of
sheeplike idealism, 1t pitches him
into World War l and a miserable
marriage to deprive him of the bloom
OF his wide-eyed innocence and
then makes him wander disillusioned
over postwar Europe in order to
show us what postwar Europe was
like. Finally after a sojourn in
Nazi Germany in the inglorious
post of lover-manager of a famous
singer, he turns to England where
all of sudden he goes supremely
normal. falls in love with a sweet
young girl and marries. At the end
of World War II he and his family,
with pioneer fervor shining in their
eyes, set out for South Africa and,
believe it or not, wider, freer spaces.
The moral of the tale seems to
be contained in a dialogue which
Mark has with his wife as the plane
flies south. He says that everything
is hopeless and the world is head
ing toward another war. She points
to the baby, says that they are
happy. that thousands of other
families are happy and that its all
been good and worth while" My
comment would be-beware the
biographical novel.

Winter Meetino
By Ethel Vance. little, Brown,
81. so

The author OF this novel seems
to be the living proof that you
cannot keep a good writer down.
Or perhaps she is the critics much
desired refutation of the big name"
formula for literature. She is Grace
Earring Stone who, under her own
name, wrote THE Bitter Tea of
General Yen" and a number of
other popular books. Then she took
the pseudonym of Ethel Vance and
wrote two more works of fiction,
Escape" and "Reprisal." These
also attained popularity, although
the public did not know who Ethel
Vance was. That was good but to
make it conclusive, of course, Mrs.
Stone ought to take still a third
name-the third time is the charm.
But until she does, she is doing very
we'll under the name of Ethel Vance.
Winter Meeting" is going to be
called an unusual book. 1t is one
OF those things which takes more
or less routine situation and gives
1t an unroutine ending. It's unusual
ness lies in the fact that it's un-
routine ending is not developed for
the sake of sensation but for the
sake of realism. Where the book
departs from the pattern is where
the pattern commonly is false to
experience.
The story tells how widely cele-
hrata6 har0 &c ;,,,, i
by a New York lion hunter. The
other guests are pretty girl, obvi-
ously for the hero's sake, and an
intellectual manner of poetess who
is simply there to complete a four
some. But the hero takes the
poetess home. More than that, he
becomes her lover and goes with
her to her New England shore
residence for an unconventional
holiday. So far according to pattern.
What Ethel Vance then undertakes
to show is that, Hollywood notwith-
standing, there is more to love than
attraction, or even going home to-
gether. People are infinitely COM
plicated, she says, and have needs
more imperative than those which
can be satisfied by sharing a hoh-
day. The lovers, getting to know
one another, find that they are
farther apart than the poles.
The poetess has been shaped by
a bitter childhood to a state of
sophisticated intellectual detach-
ment. The hero, whose looks are
as dashing as his exploits, has cher
ished lifelong wish to be a priest.
When each has barred his soul to
the other, they see that their love
is irrelevant to their identities. They
separate but not before the poetess,
in an act of good will which she
finds sadly amusing, has set the
young man back on the path which
he has strayed
1t is no happy ending for the
exuberantly romantic beginning but
it is an intelligent one. I do not
think many people will like it and
am reasonably certain that no
movie magnate will buy it. I liked
it quite lot.
