Sometimes we hear it said that two persons have the

odd human beings EARTH all have things in
mon, but two dispositions exactly alike Some may

minor in most instances that is different.

may, he can't change it. He try to change it, but it
Is easy enough to that he is not himself. We should

It was said that Dan McCarty was not good mix

McCarty was reserved and was ALSO what few of US
are, good listener. Most of intent giving

somebody is saying.
Quiet. never losing his poise, McCarty let you have
your say without iterrupng you trying to anticipate
what you going to say Many of US try to take
over when somebody is speaking to US.
The closer one came to knowing McCarty the better
liked him. One learned that McCarty meant what he
said and that his lack of flourish among pol
iicans generally due to his not attempting to mis-
lead one.
McCarty's sterling traits in private life demonstrate

say anything that hasn't been said
hundred times since Uncle Toms
cabin, and in much better prose,
Miss Upshaw's characters are
well selected to move in her plot,
but unfortunately they are painted
in pastel cliches and sentimental
ties and the reader is never quite
convinced that all their brooding
has much justification. Besides, the
author losses in a flavor of the
'disintegrating south" school of
writer's, which has become increas.
Iingly irritating to this reviewer.
The guilt of the white man be-
cause of his races past treatment
of the darker man, and the Negro
taking on a guilt of the run away
horses in his own race. are un-
doubtedly true to some extent, but
Miss upshaw doesn't even put them
over as well as men like Faulkner.
And besides, all Of tire writer's OF
this particular school never stop to
consider that diet and climate have
a lot to do with disintegration OF
any kind, and guilt completes and
all the rest.
Miss Upshaw weakens her prose
by several stylistic defects. She
uses far too many adjectives and
cliches. In addition to this she falls
lin love with these same adjectives
and cliches and uses them again
and again. Noel's pale amber hands
move across countless sentences
Jonathan Farrell blocks doorways
with his bulk until the reader won
ders if he has time for running his
lumber yard, and Philip Farrell's
face is white and pale so many
times, me thinks the author pro.
tests too much
But Miss Upshaw does have sew
eral qualities which should make
her a good novelist If she continues
in the literary trade. She does have
a genuine understanding of wha,
keeps the reader reading, she has
story teller's sense which instinc-
lively moves her plot along, and
she does select her characters well
even though she doesn't do hall
what she might with them.
