She starts out, q slim girl, BY
setting her home on fire and
burning up her parents. She dis
appears and the police think it
the work of a fiend who also
murdered her and hid her body.
Naturally she is pretty. She is
married to Adam for a time, for
her convenience, and gives birth
to twin sons. She lives to COM
NIT at least one other calcu-
lated murder. In later years she
is madam of a particularly
atrocious and criminal bawdy
house in Salinas.
Adam and his sons leave the
farm and 60 to Salinas to live.

unconvincing character is
Adams Chinese servant. Lee. He
suddenly quits talking the pid-

stays on to help rear the moth

Not Like the Others
There is enough sex in East
Of Eden." and yet it does not
dominate the narrative in the
way that made 1.-THE Wayward
Bus" an entertaining story, a
great deal less than a good
novel. The new book is not like
the others. On the other hand,
it is fair. without comparing the
results Of divergent creations, to
say any completely successful
novel leaves a net impression Of
some sort. "The Grapes Of
WRATH" which was perhaps
more a social document than
a novel. left an angry shock at
an injustice that was true. "Of
Mice and Men" left a deep sense
Of pity. The parable Of "The
Pearl" left a lesson as simple
and old and yet as enduring as
one Of Aesop's fables. EAST Of
Eden" leaves a confused trail Of
conflicting ideas and influences.
OF such is life. Yet the novel;
lists task Is to sum up and
clarity life.

Firms Build Fence
To Keep Reindeer
Away From Russia
BY the Associaied Press

Even Rudolph the Reindeer is
behind an Iron Curtain now.
The Agriculture Department re-
ports that Finland has built a
fence 512 feet high and 800 miles
long on the Soviet border.
The idea is to keep the Finnish
reindeer from intermingling with
the Soviet variety. The valuable
herds have a tendency to cross
the border and get mixed up.
Finland and Norway, the Agri-
culture Department reports, have
a treaty to get together once a
year and sort the animals out.
But this apparently doesn't work
too well, because another stretch
Of fence is going up along the
Norwegian frontier.
Laplanders not only milk and
drive reindeer, they eat their flesh
and use their skins for clothing. :.

New Editor Of Pravda

As PubIicizing Stain
BY the Assoeiofed Press

II MOSCOW. Dec. 17.-Pravda has
a new editor-in-chief, D. r.
Shepilov, Communist Party ex-
pert in propaganda. He formerly
was chief Of the party's Propa-
ganda and Agitation Administra-
tion.
II Shepilov's appointment was dis
closed in press articles concerning
Ia meeting of editors of Moscow
newspapers. Their most important
IIjob. Shepilov said, is to propa-
IIgandize "the genius work Of ]. v.
Stain, Economic Problems of So
cialism in the U. S. S. r."
\ The press, Shepilov said, must
mobilize the masses for carrying
Eout the decisions of the recent
party congress. Shepilov demanded
more attention to publicity on So
Icialist competition. innovators and
Stakhanovite workers Gall forms
Of the Soviet speed-up system in
industry and agriculture). The new
editor said support must be given
to positive methods of work and
the progressive initiative of ad-
vanced workers in the struggle for
raising labor productivity, in
creasing output and reducing costs.
/ All cultural media, such as the
press. radio. science. the theater
and the movies, are means and
weapons whose theological effect
must be subordinated to the one
chief purpose-Communist indoc-
trination Of the Soviet people,
Shepilov said.
| Apparently Shepilov took over
Pravda after the October congress.
Since then there have been some
notable changes, such as more
frequent use of political cartoons.
The paper now publishes regu-
larly on the front page portraits
OF leading Stakhanovite workers
and articles about them. It has
also been carrying critical reviews
in the field Of the drama and
literature.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: How can
1 make boy interested in me?
He is, like myself, a senior in high
school. I know his mother and
sister very we'll and get along
beautifully with them. My would
be beau, however, never seems to
know I'm around. One of our
teachers told us it was up to the
girl to go after a boy who is too
bashful. Do you agree? I've
never chased a boy and think he
should do the pursuing.-BEA.
ANSWER: BY all means. go
after your prey! If girls simply
sat with folded hands waiting for
men to make the first move-not
to mention the follow up-mar-
riage license bureaus would be
almost out of business. The trick.
of course, is to chase the man.
but make him think he's doing
the pursuing. A little subtlety.
some finesse here and there and
your purpose is accomplished.
Leap Year provides a golden op-
portunity for the aggressive fe-
male, and woe to the boy who
wants to retire into a shell and
stay there. Spring is here, and
with it the traditional round of
dances and outings. Many of these
affairs are sponsored as Leap Year
parties, with the girls inviting
boys.
If no organization in your COM
munity is sufficiently wide-awake
to help the girls out. why not have
such party yourself? Or induce
your church group or some civic
club to have one? With the object
of your affections as your guest for
the evening, you'll have plenty of
time to impress him with your
charms. If you have the party at
your house, the role of a gracious
hostess offers a rare chance to be
beguiling.

the sewing group in the National
Metropolitan Memorial Church is
bringing beauty and joy into the
drab surroundings, as well as into
the lives of the inmates of the
Industrial Home Annex for Chill

First, this group with Miss Vir-
ginia Willis, retired teacher Of
English at Mckinley High School,
as their chairman, decided to-
brighten up the dismal rooms with
gay draperies. which they would
make themselves. A generous,
blic-spirited donor, who insists
upon remaining anonymous. gave
the ladies yards and yards of
chintz drapery and upholstery ma
terials, which he felt he could
spare from his business. The
ladies met at the church. Those
who had portable sewing machines
brought them. Many skilled hands
made light work of the project.
Each meeting time a member of
the group would serve luncheon so
that their humanitarian service
might be continuous from 9 am.
until 5 pm, except for the noon-
time diversion. In an incredibly
short time the draperies, as skill
full a job as a professional might
have turned out, were finished and
hung.
Incidentally, the project brought
Miss Willis to the attention of the
American Trailer Co. here in this
city. 1t asked her to make the
gray curtain separating the kitch-
en- arrangements from the living
room in the maroon, royal-crested
bus which the Emperor Halle Sc
