VeXIng query. he only knows Cna1
the assignment Of children to par.
ents is Gods business and thai
those who tamper. like DR.. Ainslie
tempt Providence.
Being an exceptionally skilled
novelist-one of Canada's best
Iactually-Mr. MacLennan does moi
say all this in just so many words
He has woven it into a spare
colorful narrative that is overlaid
with the fog of a Cape Breton set
ting and the Gaelic gloom of its
inhabitants. A Scot himself. Mr.
MacLennan regards these trans
planted highlanders as a breed
apart, and his sensitive recording
of their speech. their ways and
their spirit gives an added edge to
his story.
From the Depths.
From this desperate and poetic
people, laboring under the earth
in the coal mines and in the soul
under the ancient curse of Calvin
ism, springs Alan MacNeil, the son
of gentle Mollie and Archie, the
mild but savage young fighter
stubbornly seeking his fortune in
cheesy prize-rings in the States
For DR.. Ainslie it was unthinkable
that such brightness and promise
should be quenched in the pits.
And though he is as meticulous q
surgeon, as conscientious scholar
as Nova Scotia can provide. he
does not know enough to consult
the boys loving mother nor his
own loving wife before attempting
to appropriate the child-if not
his love-for himself.
Practically the only fault that
can be found with Each Mans
Son" is that there is not enough
of it. 1t is one of the few novels
around that could have been halt
as long again. That way, Mr.
MacLennan might have gone
more deeply into, instead of mere
ly touching delicately upon, such
matters as the Celts chafing under
labor and a cruel religion break

brawls, the unspoken resentment
that exists between a husband and
wife without children, the di-
lemma of Mollie. the loving spirit
left alone. In fact, Mr.. Mac
Lehman does not do too well by

ters.

Buchruch Landscapes

Nearly 80 oil paintings. the ma
jority landscapes, with a few ur-
ban and industrial scenes by
Walter K. Bachrach, occupy all
of the temporary exhibition wall
space at the Arts Club through
April 81. He has painted on the
Maine coast, in the Adirondacks,
in Pennsylvania and Maryland;
and has brought back a few works
from Italy. France and Mexico.
Mr.. Bachrach has an eye for
pictorial appeal, his paintings are
naturalistic in approach, and
pleasing at first glance. Seen from
a more critical standpoint. how
ever, they display a tendency TO-
wards too sweet color. too bland
handling. and occasionally have
large empty areas ("Beach at
Stonington," for example) and a
feeling of form without substance
in other instances. (E. G., Rocky
Hillside.") This is his first ex-
hibition in Washington. and all
the works on view are recent in
date-1948 through 1850. If they
represent his initial production in
oil painting, his progress and in
dustry are laudable, and he will
doubtless get more backbone in his
paintings as he continues to work
in this medium. He is repre-
sented in the 22d Biennial at
the Corcoran Gallery.
Mr.. Bachrach received his early
training at Maryland Institute,
Baltimore. also from his uncle,
sculptor Ephraim Keyser, then
head Of the Rinehart School of
Sculpture. Recently he has studied
painting in California under Ones
tus Uzzell, who at the time was
professor of art at UCLA.

A Bigger Gamble
Than at Biurritz
And Lots More Fun

TALE OF A FOOLISH FARMER
by George Sessions Perry. INC
Gra10-HM Book Co.; s3.)
George Perry's affair with
Mother Nature has not left him
sadder and wiser. In fact, it has
not left him at all. In spite of
an ever-increasing loss of sleep,
peace of mind, money and the
patience of his gentle wife Claire,
lit is still going on.
No Mr.. Blandings of the broad
acres. the husky young Texan
knew he was in for it once he sunk
his heart and his fortune into a
farm in the bottomlands of his
native State. Even the knowledge
that he would have to be "a tele-
phone rancher," since his assign
|ments from the Saturday Evening
Post take him all over the country
on extended trips, did nothing to
stay him. But every blow, financial
and physical. that it dealt him
he accepted with an indulgent
grin. George has been a fatuous
farmer.
During his absence the farm
was picturesquely manned by his
Negro friends and tenant-farmers,
the Arnwines, who probably never
saw a Department of Agriculture
booklet in their lives and who run
things largely by signs" but who
seem equal to the worst that ma
ture can offer in the way of
droughts, cow-killing clover and
discontented cows. Mr.. Perry, no
squire at heart. loves them all and
has given each one his own sep
arate valentine in these chapters.
He also explains his fondness for
the animal personalities on the
place-numerous and complex.
His flight to husbandry has not
always been graceful. but it has
been fun-"fun," as Mr.. Perry
puts it, more wholesome and ex-
pensive than I might have had
at Biarritz or in undertaking a
collection of chorus girls" You'll
enjoy it. too.

Pearl Buck

GODS MEN

GODS MEN
by Pearl Buck. (The John Day
Co.; $780,
Any one looking for clues as to
why Pearl Buck should be banned
locally as a high-school speaker
will not find them here. In this
double portrait of two humbly
born missionaries sons who rise to
the top in the best American ira
|dition, she expresses sentiments OF
the most unexceptionable nature
no matter what the file of a
certain committee has has to say.
But while her high-minde edness
and patriotism may bespeak her
fitness as a mentor for the young
they do not necessarily make a
novel good. Not content with
writing on the Horatio Alger
theme. she writes in the Horatio
Alger style as we'll. and the result
lis as trite and dull as you might
expect.
Mrs. Buck divided her attention
equally between the two China
born Americans who made the
grade. One is William Lane, a
solemn snob who edits America s
most popular picture weekly. Will
liam has q built-in contempt for
what he calls 'the masses" whom
he wants to lead. His brother-in-
law. Clem Miller. wants to feed
them. william (who. incidentally,
under various pseudonyms, is a
favorite figure in current fiction
and not hard to IDENTIFY runs his
fabulously successful magazine
under the guiding principal,
when we know what we want to
prove. we 60 out and find the
facts" The humble Glen. after
an Oliver Twist childhood, is
haunted by the thought Of "starv-
ing people and rotting plenty" !"
Both men, a la Lanny Budd, meet
and talk to the great ones of
their day. Mrs. Buck makes obvi-
GUS and labored contrasts between
them. William, the authoritarian,
finally joins the Catholic church;
Glen is a martyr to his ideals.
The question of food surpluses
in the midst of famine Is Ger
tainly a timely one, but Mrs. Buck
fails to dramatic it. The early
scenes. with tart reference to the
caste system among the mission
aries in China-where Mrs. Buck
found her first and greatest in
spiration-are the best. Unfor-
tunately. little of the great talent
which fired "The Good Earth" is
evident in this prosy story.

their appraisal of the Anderson
novels, stories and autobiography
cal excursions, the two men reach
many of the same conclusions.
Particularly interesting is their
realization that "WineSburg
Ohio" was not merely a collection
of short stories about q town, as
was generally assumed when it was
published. but an integrated series
of episodes. Mr.. Schevill goes
further and calls it a novel in
an unusual, distinctive form. He
also feels that Anderson found his
natural, most effective style in this
book and that his experiment with
la more moderniStic, self conscious
style in later books was unfortu-
nate.
A Psychological Novelist.
Anderson was not, Mr.. Schevill
and Mr.. Howe are aware, real
istic or naturalistic writer-a niche
into which critics tried to put him
because he wrote of simple, earthly
Ismall-town characters. He was a
psychological novelist, perhaps our
first effective one in this century.
He looked into the minds of his
characters; he was more interested
in what they felt than in what
they did. So often what they did
was far from what they wanted.
Mr.. Schevill comes nearer pre-
senting speaking likeness of the
author. 1t is doubtful If either
biographer depicts him quite as he
was remembered by those who
knew him well in his youthful
years as Chicago businessman,
or through his nomadic years, or
in the later era when he edited
two weeklies at Marion, Va. He
was a magnetic man. easily ap-
preached and well-liked.
1t must have been no easy task
to write his biography. His sew
eral photographed books were,
as he frankly admitted, distorted
in many particulars; what he was
trying to do, he explained, was to
preserve the inner spirit of people
and events. His biographers ad-
mittedly had a hard time win
moving facts from fantasies.
Mr.. Howe, whose book is one of
the American Men of Letters Sc
ries, concludes in a scholarly sum-
nation that regarded as ''the
achievement of story teller who
created small body of fiction
unique in American writing for
the purity of its feeling his
best work becomes durable part
of the American literary struc-
ture." Mr.. Schevill feels that be-
cause of Anderson's pioneer at
tempt to examine the relationship
between Imagination and material
reality in modern American soci-
ETY. and to turn these relationships
into meaningful images his
best work will endure"

Geographic Survey
OF Soviet Russia
GEOGRAPHY OF THE u. S. S.R.
"A Regional Survey
BY Theodore Shabad.

Reviewed by Creston B. Mullins
In the growing factual litera-
ture about the Soviet Union this
encyclopedia of Russian geogra-
ply is the latest outstanding
contribution.
The field which Mr.. Shabad
covers is not only the physical
world of material resources, but
also the vast field of economic and
political geography. which are the
subjects of such vast changes.
After a general survey of the
Soviet Union as a whole, Mr..
Shabad devotes the major por-
ton of the book to examination
of each of the major administra-
tive areas of Russia. There is a
complete index of every place
name used and several tables of
population statistics.
The work resembles closely the
Joint Army-Navy intelligence
studies issued during the war for
use of Allied invasion forces.

Interior Department First

The Interior Department Mu-
scum is featuring for the first
time, work by an employe. T. H.
Drummond, Bureau of Land Man
agement photographic craftsman
from San Francisco was present
at the opening Of his show, which
will remain through April 9. It
is open to the public Monday
through Friday from 8 to $50.
The museum is close to the c
street entrance, Interior Building,
between Eighteenth and Nine
teenth streets.
Mr.. Drummond's etchings,
drawings and wood carvings are
competent, naturalistic work,
dealing with cowboys, horses and
cattle, and scene from the western
range country where the Bureau
of Land Management operates.
His mare and colt, and the De-
partment'S buffalo emblem, all
carved from California redwood,
are captivating little objects. The
focal point of the show is a pic
torial map of California. Many
visitors will wish the Interior De-
partment had been a little more
lavish with space for it's first en-
ploye exhibition of art.

Chamber of Commerce

Albert Bernhardt, pioneer Teller resident, treated the members of the Chamber of Commerce yes terday noon at their luncheon with amples S of his specialties of smoked fish for which he is fa- nous in this area. All enjoyed the delicious salmon, smoked white fish and smoked trout which were served.
 Mir. Bernhardt, who is over 30 years old, is seeking partner for next summer to assist him in the work of curing these fish in his own special method. Without a doubt it is a wonderful opportuni- ty for a commercial enterprise for someone to learn a fast disappear ing trade. It should be very profit able, as there is much demand for this type of prepared fish.
 The following letter was Sub- mitted to the Chamber from Brig adler General Richard Prather, chief of staff of the Alaska Com mand and guest of the Chamber at their recent banquet:
 'Please accept my sincere thanks for the courtesieS which you and the people of your city extended to me when I was there in connec- ton with the visit of the Congress sional party.

but the venom goes a long way. It's an effective pain-killer when diluted 5000 times.
 It takes extractions from 600 snakes to produce an ounce. For Haast, that means six days of work so dangerous there isn't an insurance company in the world that would give him a ten-cent policy.
 To get the venom, he grasps a snake at the back of the head and thrusts it toward a glass vial cov- cred with rubbery material that gives the snake something to sink his fangs in. When the snake bites, the clear, amber-colored venom drips from the fangs into the vial.
 Snakes are nervous creatures and often the venom extraction upsets them so badly they quit eating. The result is a high death rate and high overhead costs. To overcome the eating problem, Haast developed method of force feeding.
 A trip to Africa led indirectly to Bills theory of venom's possi- bilities in polio treatment. For four months, he discontinued his regular injections of venom and much of his immunity wore off. On his return, he was bitten in quick succession by two Cobras.
 Bill nearly died that time His wife, Clarita, carefully noted his reactions on a chart. After his re- covery, Bill noted while studying the chart that his symptoms had been exactly the same as those of polio.
 He suggested to the University of Miami research staff tn t venom mgiht be used to make a polio serum. Work on the idea was started immediately and the project has reached the stage where venom has been tried on human polio victims, although no announcements have been made of the results.
