Two well-known Tabor ladies

Try one day last Week-the first
4 day the sun was shining follow
ing all the bad weather.
They didn't take into conSld-
Grafton the fact that all the rural
roads were IN pretty bad shape
and the first thing they knew
they had the car stuck IN a
pretty out-of-the-way place.
One stayed with the car while
the other started walking to-
ward the nearest house for help.
Upon approaching the house, the
heIp-seekec slipped on some
mud and fell on her face.
The lady occupant of the near
by house saw her, thought she
was drunk. So she locked all
the doors and windows and
called for her husband.
Luckily for the lady in the
mud and the lady in the car,
the husband recognized them
and helped them get their car
moving again.
However, supper was pretty
late az one house in town that
night.

article, anyway, because it contains
SO cartoons by Otto Soglow and
Bob Dunn. 1t is a compilation Of
American nonsense-loony laws,

Readers whose interest in cartoons
goes beyond the desire to be enter

like to learn something of the
technique Of cartooning-willo obtain
considerable help from "A Complete

late Gaar Williams will like How
to Keep From Growing DID," a coll
lection Of some Of his best works,
with foreword by Franklin P.
Adams. Mr.. Williams drew human
interest" cartoons for the Chicago
Tribune for IA years, and How to
Keep From Growing Old" was one
of his most popular series. AL
though he has been dead since
1895, the Tribune still publishes his
cartoons, because, as Mr.. Adams ex-
plains, "his attention was focused
primarily on human traits which
are as valid today as they were
20 years ago, and as they will be
20 years from now"
Another great human-interest car
toonist, H. T. Webster, is repre-
sented by two books this year
"How to Torture Your Husband"
and "How to Torture Your Wife,"
both "authoritatively annotated" as
the publishers blurbs put it, by Cas-
well Adams. Webster fans will love
both volumes.

he does.
Studies examining the basic ele-
ments in the major faiths were also
prominent in the books of the year.
Report to Protestants," by Marcus
Bach, Is such a work. Here the
author probes the weaknesses, needs,
visions and potential strength of
Protestants today. Basic Judaism"
by Milton Steinberg, written for
Jews and non-Jews, seeks to explain
the ideals and beliefs of the Jewish
religion. James Parkes, in "Ju-
daism and Christianity" attempts
to ilumine the basic concepts of
both faiths and to show the need
OF better understanding by Christian
and Jew Of each other.
During the past year the question
OF the relationship Of church and
state has agitated some sections of
the American citizenry. These citi-
zens feared q Supreme Court deci-

brings together in one volume 1000

As the year before the half CEN
tury mark comes into being, it Is
likely that 1949 will see religious
books bearing on the ecumenical
spirit and the tendency toward
unity among Protestant denomina-
tions appear in good numbers. Such
works and those dealing with the
relationship of religion to the world
we live in should be prominent in
the next II months.

Az previous years, but they in
cluded many works Of more
than passing interest.
The public response to religious
books was also good, indicating an
increasing interest on the part Of
people in works dealing with the
relationship Of spiritual things to
life. This feeling was probably
given impetus by the first meeting
of the World Council of Churches
at Amsterdam, Holland. this sum-
mer. The meeting, looked forward
to for many years, provided a dra-
matte centering of attention upon
Protestant and other bodies efforts
to find q common denomination for
working together spiritually and
otherwise. The literature evaluat-
ing the meetings achievements and
influence is still to come, though
trickling has already begun.
Perhaps the easiest bridge be-
tween the ordinary reader and re-
igious books lies in the realm Of
fiction. Here the year saw several
truly fine novels published. Last of
these, and destined probably to be
the most popular, is THE Big Fish
erman." by Lloyd G. Douglas, author
of "The Robe" It is the story of
Simon called Peter, the most low
able and human of the Apostles of
Jesus. In following Peter, as he in
turn followed Christ to Calvary, the
reader Is thrown into the polyglot
world of quarreling that was the
Galilee Of the day. The great fig
ures Of the time stride across the
pages Of the novel-Christ himself,
Joseph of Arimathea, Pontius PLATE,
John the Baptist and the others.
A novel using the Palestine Of the
second and third years of Christ's
ministry as a background is Bold
Galilean," by Legette Blythe. A
still earlier period, the second CEN
tury before Christ, was used for
my Glorious Brothers." by Howard
Fast. This novel is a romantic ver-
sion Of the exploits of Judas the
Maccabee and his brothers in lead
ing the hapless Jewish nation to
victory against invasions by the
armies Of Syrian-Greek kings.
Communism and the challenge it
presents to Christianity was the
subject of several books during the
year. The Catholic viewpoint was
ably expressed by the Right Rev.

q OMETHING seems to have
happened to the 1948 crop of
~ picture books. 1t has dwindled
almost to the disappearing
point
Year before last, I remember,
there were so many books of photo
graphs, paintings, drawings and car
toons that they had to be divided
into categories before they could be
reviewed. The cartoon books alone
were so numerous that, the news
print shortage being what it was
(and, incidentally, still Isl, some had
to be skipped.
Last year, the flow of cartoon
books became mere trickle, but
books of photos and paintings con-
tinued to food the market. This
year, the cartoon books are even
fewer, and the others could be placed
on DR.. Eliot's famous 5-foot shelf
with plenty of room to spare.

thologist, Roger Tory Peterson. In
the former, interesting text is COM

treatment Is much the same, except
that there are fewer pictures (105)

72-year -old farmer whose feet and
legs were frozen before he and his
wife were forcibly removed from
their isolated cabin in the Page

The man. Jacob beavers, was be-

the farmer resisted removal and
had to be forced into horse-drawn

treacherous ice-covered roads.
Mrs. beavers protested being

not resist officers who came for
them.
Mr.. Dovel said the investigating
