the livestock and poultry produc-
ton of the nation"

shortage Of meat, poultry and dairy
products.

ducers Of the Nation to start re-
building their herds and flocks to
the new high level we will need to
maintain the kind of a diet the

An Irish Love Letter
OUENCH THE MOON

QUENCH THE MOON
BY Walter Macken. THE Viking
Press; $3J
This first novel by a Galway play
wright is for most of its garrulous,
leisurely course, love letter to Con-
nemara, that wildly beautiful noun
tain-ringed land on the west coast
of Ireland. Mr.. Macken, taking his
own good time, tells the story of
Stephen O'Riordon's poaching and
dreaming and "coorting" of Kath-
leen Finnerty, the strong, sensible
girl who fshed him out of the sea
one day and then pushed him out
of Connemara so that he might &C
complish his lifelong ambition of
writing about his own people.
All this, recounted alternately in
facetious brogue and the rather
self-consciously literary style of the
bookish Stephen is scant prepara-
ton forthe chain explosion of SEEM
ing suicide. murder and grisly ven-
geance which rock the last third
of the book. The tribute to Con-
nemara's loveliness abruptly sours
with evidence that its harshness
and violence is reflected in the iso-
lated and thereby twisted lives of
its inhabitants and that the sins
of the father are visited on the sons.
Mr.. Macken's picture has much
/ power but it Is diluted in excess
verbiage. M. MEG.
