novei, "Aeivlfe Goodwia, U S. A." Held by
nsony to be the outhos's finest book, it is in the
top bsocket Of fiction sales
books These books and others to be men,
toned are firSt-rate literary performances
which also were bought avidly by the read
ing public. Does this mean the public
taste is improving. reaching cut for better
books? Perhaps. At least there was less
trash, more merit among the top sellers
than in any recent year 1t must mean
something.
Here's Our Choice of the Years
Five Favorite Novels
But it is time to offer evidence in support
of the contention that this was year of
good novels. 1t has been the custom to
recommend five as best" That is partcu-
larly difficult this year. But at least can
offer five favorites among those 1 read
and remember, it is impossible for a re-
viewer to read all the books. despite tall
claims by certain professional readers. If
you like novels, don't think you can go
wrong in procuring any or all of these. No
attempt has been made to arrange them in
order of merit; they are listed by title
alphabetically. Personal preference:
From Here to Eternity" by James Jones
(Scribner's).
Lie Down in Darkness by William
Styron Bobbs MerrilD.
Melville Goodwin U. S. A. by John P.
Marquand Hittle, Brown.
Requiem for Num-, by William Faux

Ten or IL other novels of comparable
quality could be picked. With such an
abundance Of top-fight fiction, it becomes
a matter of individual taste which of these
books you prefer.
John Dos Passos' new novel. Chosen
Country" (Houghton Mifflin). which came
out late in the year. deserves a special
niche in our consideration. 1t is one of his
best-a deeply felt story. crowded with
characters. They are seen at various stages

presents a certain pattern. This has been
q year of good novels.
Non-fiction, which dominated the pub
fishing picture last year. fell behind in i'm
portance though there are always few
books in any category which will tend to
refute any general conclusion you venture
to make.
At the close of 1850 it was hard to pick
out few novels of top merit. This year the
situation is reversed So many excellent
novels have appeared that it is difficult to
name five-or 10, for chat matter-and say
these were, in one persons opinion. the
best. To sum up the outstanding non-fic-
ton is somewhat easier. While there were
some penetrating books on current prob
lens, foreign and domestic affairs perhaps
the outstanding non fiction ran to biogra-
phy and autobiography.
Whether the businesses of publishing
and bookselling are flourishing or dropping

some publishers and certain booksellers

In abundance among women, and
never more needed by the world
than today.
AS one of women's strongest
boosters. it gives me great pleas
ure to note more and more evi-
dence that women are taking
active, interest in the affairs of
the world. Their increasing par
ticipation in open forums reveals
their keener knowledgefof history
and current problems than ever
before. We have more women
n top-level capacities every year
Because Woman's leadership is in
its ascendency, I believe we can
have greater optimism about the
future.
Economic security and peace
are inherent feminine goals, be-
cause under such conditions fam
lily life thrives best. Combine
those goals with the courage and
vision to attain them, and the
natural feminine diplomacy and
charm that makes women so Sue
cessful at winning their way
then, doesn't it seem time that
women pointed the way for all
of us?

Do Your Camera Manners CIick?L
By Kite Turmoil

When you take pictures or pose
for photos. do your camera
manners click? Otherwise the
best picture will win you no prize
for popularity.
Often, in Teen Etiquette for
ums, boys request tips on how to
get pretty-girl pictures. Girls
wonder how to persuade boys to
destroy pictures which turn out to
be too silly or ugly to be shown
around.
To exhibit or ridicule any pic
ture which is embarrassing or un-
complimentary is social cruelty,
unfair to those who trusted the
cameraman enough to pose. 1t is
unkind to circulate any candid
shot which makes subject ap-
pear too fat or thin or awkward
or unattractive to do justice to
the way he or she looks usually.
Often, girls and boys ask,
When is it correct to offer or ask
for a picture of your date?" On
this you use social sense: it is per-
missible whenever either is that
interested. Usually, the girl does
not offer hers until she has some
reason to think that it would be
welcomed. Often this is a light
bargain" which ends up in an
agreement to exchange pictures.
1t is friendly to accept, with en-
thusiasm, any offer of a picture,
1t is not mature to dramatize re-
quests for return of pictures, after
a "brea ak-up." To sign any pic
ture with a message too personal
or mysterious to look right, if seen
by the others family or friends
is a social mistake.
Here are some more straight
shooting" suggestions from ex-
perts:
About permission, whenever in
oouot, you do ask. according to
c. K. Eaton. director of an art
center at which many young peo-
pie study photography for a
career or hobby.
Aside from strictly-news pic
lures, fiash-snapped, it is custom
''y to request permission. Even
4 you are within your legal rights
to feel free to take a picture you
will feel better and probably do
better If you ask for cooperation
Refusals are rare. To ask fore
stalls suspicion or irritation.
At churches, permission must
be from the proper authorities:
this is seldom granted during
services, except during weddings.
For your country's security, check
rules against picture taking-at
bridges and other public works,
for example.
Around some schools, all picture
taking without official permission
is against the law At Fairgrounds
~N~Nt FsAA nd, PCOkj1C u Liz 10 relax
in informal clothes and playful
poses resent and distrust the
shutter bug" who tries to sneak
In some revealing shots.
In asking permission: Identify
yourself, tell the purpose of the
picture. Respect rights of privacy
and property. Do not invade any
yard or building without self
introduction. Replace whatever
you disarrange or use as props"
during picture taking.
Whenever some one does pose
to oblige you it is basic courtesy
to offer to mail or deliver a free
print.
Learn to draw the fine line be-
tween good and bad taste. Acquire
a sense of place and situation to
determine what is suitable. It is
poor social judgment to pose any
picture which could be criticized
If passed around. Whenever re-
suits seem at all suggestive, rule
THAT picture out of circulation.
