FOR THE FAMILY
A Great New Novel
BY c. N. BATTLE

Here is what may well be one of the
really great religious novels of these
times.
In THE SILVER CHALICE by
Thomas B. Costain Doubleday, $685.
author Costain tells the tale of Basil,
Greek artist and silversmith, and in the
telling gives vivid and intriguing pic
ture of the struggles of the early Chris
tian church. Basil is rescued from slav-
cry by Joseph of Arimathea to make
fitting chalice for the cup used by Jesus
during the Last Supper.
In the story of Basil and his attempt
to construct the silver chalice, we are
given not only the story of the growth
of the Christian church but the whole
spiritual background of how it came
about. Costain is a skilled writer who
handles his subject with sentiment but
without sentimentality and as historian
of good repute he never changes the
course of history to suit his own con-
venience.
This is book that should live.
Meeting of East and West
Josui was a lovely Japanese girl Of
good family. She was born in America
and lived here until she was fifteen.
After Pearl Harbor Josui's father took
his family back to Japan rather than
have them go behind the barbed wire of
! the Japanese enclosures.
In THE HIDDEN FLOWER by Pearl
Buck John Day, $500 we get the
story of the marriage of 1t. Allen Ken
nedy of an aristocratic Virginia family
and Josui. Married in a Buddhist
temple, Josui and her husband return
| to America and their problems are diff.
| ficult and varied. Pearl Buck tells with
charm and feeling this story that could
have happened to someone down the
street from you. There is warmth and
tragedy and glimpses of shy humor-
| the best Miss Buck has written since
THE GOOD EARTH.
For Young VacatiOners
HIGH WATER AT CATFISH BEND
by Ben Lucien Burman Julian Messner,
$2.75) is the fascinating story of how
| the animals went to New Orleans on a
shantyboat to try to get the Mayor and
the Army Engineers to build some
levees at Catfish Bend after escaping the
Mississippi flood.
You will love wise Doc Raccoon, pity
the silly rabbit and admire the self
control of Judge Black who tries so hard
to act like a snake. Here is a wise and
witty story by one of Americas best
loved writer's who understands animals
almost as well as animals understand
people. Mostly for kids but the folks
who laugh over POGO will like this just
as well.

for analysis and report at its next
session. It awaits the report before
taking further action.
The commission consists Of I,
Alvin Pasarew, director of the
Maryland State Planning Com
mission, who acts as chairman:
Joseph F. Kaylor, director of State
forests and parks and a member
of the State Board of Natural
Resources: Ernest A. Vaughn,
director Of the Maryland Game
and Inland Fish Commission and
another resources board member
and Joseph D. Buscher. special
assistant to the Maryland attorney
general assigned to serve on the
Maryland State Roads Com
mission.
Serving as a fifth member in
making the analysis is Harry T.
Thompson. assistant superin-
tendent of National Capital Parks
Desirable But Not Necessary.
Their report has not been
drafted but their feelings in the
matter have been placed on the
record in sufficient detail to get
an idea Of where each stands.
The natural resources board
representatives. Messrs. Kaylor and
Vaughn. are opposed to the
project.
Mr.. Paserew has said publicly
that he sees nothing wrong with
the proposal and that it could be
tied in with his own agency's
Statewide plans.
Mr.. Buscher, questioned yester-
day, said the roads commission
has not yet considered the matter
officially but that its general atti-
tude is that the project is "desir-
able but not necessary"
Celebrating on this remark he
said there were far more pressing
road projects requiring gasoline
tax revenues. He said also he felt
the park service is underestimate
ing the cost of acquiring the
l. ,000-acres Of additional right
Iof-way
So far only the natural re-
sources board, where official
Maryland opposition to the plan
|centers. has taken a formal posi-
ton on the project.
Last June Is. the board re-
solved as follows:
Whereas, there has been pro-
posed . master plan for the ce-
|velopment Of parks and recrea-
ton areas In the State Of Mary
land. and
whereas. there is under de-

land and did not reach that point

land and did not reach that point
until 1850.
It found the B. g. o. Railroad,
backed by a Baltimore fearful
of commercial competition in the
lower Potomac. already ahead
of it.
Essentially, it was the canals
inability to compete with the rail-
road which doomed it before it
had fairly started operating.
It was heavily indebted. The
State of Maryland alone had put
up $8.7 million by the time the
canal reached Cumberland.
Maryland's dominant position
as creditor led State politicians
to look upon canal jobs as op-
portunities for patronage. There
were times when the entire canal
staff, from president to lock
tender, changed with political
fortune. .-.... t.s-
But the canal continued to
carry bulk goods-grain, coal.
stone and lumber-until 1924,
though at a mounting loss.
The financial history Of the
canal from 1850 on became more
and more of a tangle. Finally, in
1907, it fell into the hands Of its
old arch enemy. the B. & O.
Railroad.
The B. & o. operated the canal
as a token operation. largely to
prevent rival railroads from OBJ
tanning its valuable right Of way.
Flood Starts Deterioration.
In 1924 a severe flood caused
damage which the B. & O. did
mot feel justified in repairing.
Commercial operations ceased in
that year and the canal was
allowed to deteriorate from then
on.
In 1896, the B. & o. itself was
in financial hot water as the de-
preston gripped it tighter and
tighter. It was heavily in debt
to the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, so much so that it found
difficulty meeting even its interest
payments.
It was Frederic A. Delano.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's
uncle and a railroad manage
ment expert of long standing.
who conceived the idea of having
the RFC buy the old canal and
turn it over to the Interior De-
partment as part of the National
Capitals park system.
Mr.. Delano at the time was
chairman of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
and q power in the upbuilding
of the Federal City and its en-
virons.

it would be much straighter.
3. Limit the road to passenger
vehicles only.
4. String out along its route
Ia necklace Of recreation areas,
camping areas, fishing areas
scenic parking overlooks and ma
ture study areas. In addition,
points of historic interest-the
Civil War forts guarding the
Harper's Ferry crossing of the
Potomac. Antietam Battlefield
and Fort Frederick, whence Brad
dock marched by the French at
Fort Duquesne, for example
would be linked into the picture.
Some of these areas, like Fort
Frederick, already are under de-
velopment by Maryland. Mary
land has plans for other areas
both recreational and historic
which the park service thinks
would tie in with the parkway to
the mutual advantage of everyone
5. Link the parkway with Mary
lands road system at Is points
spaced about 10 miles apart.
6. Tie the parkway into the
proposed George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway (Great Falls to
Washington and Mt. Vernon) at
Great Falls and with through
routes west at Cumberland.
7. Build an additional lane
throughout the lower stretch of
the parkway. from Point of Rocks
to Great Falls, to handle the
larger traffic loads that would
be certain to occur near Wash
ington.
Maryland Not Enthusiastic
The proposal has not exactly
met with open-armed welcome
from Maryland.
Maryland is suspicious of Fed
eral encroachment. Of buying land
and turning it over to the Fed
Ieral Government for keeps, Of
the expense of the land in the
first place. of possible restrictions
on its own use Of its own river
and on pet plans Of its own agen-
|cies and sportsmen's and conser-
vation groups.
To get the matter out in the
open, bill was introduced in the
Maryland Legislature last year,
authorizing the Maryland State
Roads Commission to, acquire by
Igift or purchase the 1000 addi-
Itional acres needed for the park
way.
The Legislature turned the pro-
'posaI over to a special commission

responsible for a narrow 185-mile

AS a matter of fact the Gov
