ZONE TOUCH OF FRANCE by
by A. de T. Gingras

ZONE TOUCH OF FRANCE by
A. Hamilton Gibbs. book of
poems published by Doubleday
Publishing Company. New
York City. lss pages.l
This volume might be a boon
to the living rooms and recrea-
ton rooms of the land.
Anyone who has visited France
for two days or ten years, talks
about it, or shows home movies
of it.
And usually his enthusiasts
are neither connected nor poetic,
and his home movies mottled. So
if anybody is tempted to give a
description off the Louvre, or
verbal cafe by cafe ana
lysis of the Champs Elysees, it
might be a charity to his guests
to hand each one a copy of Mr..
Gibbs book.
For the author is lyrical and
charming in his descriptions Of
France. Every line in the slim
volume is a testimony to his de-
votion to his Gallo mistress. And
he knows the lady he loves in
her entirety, and in all her
moods.
Mr.. Gibbs begins the book with
two short poems to st. Malo in
Brittany, regretting that it was
''all he gathered past. the finish
ed present, the assured future,
and today it lies Quilted, sham
bles.
Then after a short poem enti-
tied Northern France, Mr..
Gibbs plunges Immediately into
Paris, the heart of France. Place
de Vosges is there with its ar
cades under Venetian red and
iron balconies, and Gin the mid
die imprisoned trees throwing
lleaf patterns on safe perambulat-
ed babies" Boulevard Saint
Michel is there, lined with genial
cafes, with bookshops old and
new. And of course, the Cafe de
la Paix, where all you need is the
price of coffee and a tip.
And Mr.. Gibbs speaks to the
gargoyles of Notre Dame:
"You have made her yours, Paris,
BY day, by night,
In winters sad snow and rain
and fog,
In springs intoxicating light,
leaves coming,
In autumn's warming gold
leaves falling,
In summers precious sun, life
giving
And, of course, April on the
boulevards!
After that, the author goes to
the south. His love and his imag-
cry describe Avignon, the Cote
1D'Azur, Nice, Antilles, Saint Paul
de Venice.
A coy little volume which
says what nearly everybody
wants to say abous France. +. but
better.

tSILLY WILLY NILLY written
and illustrated by Leonard Weis-
gard. ehild's picture book. pub
lished by Charles Scribner's
Sons. New York city. 90
pages.l
An author should never sug-
gest in a title an adjective which
a reviewer might be tempted to
attribute to the books contents.
Unfortunately there is an ele-
ment of the silly in this book
which cannot be attached wholly
to the baby elephant hero, Willy
Nilly. The other animals have it
too.
Stretching the old adage that
an elephant never forgets to a
breaking point, Mr.. Weisgard
manages to squeeze out of it an
inoffensive tale about baby ele-
plant who runs away from his
mother.
On an adventurous journey
through the jungle. he meets a.
mong other animals. an alliga-
tor. a snake and a lion. These
might very well have been real
threats to the rowing elephant,
and exciting to the child reader. In
stead the author seems to have
had a considerable amount OF
silly left over from Willy Mil
", and given the three a substan-
tial shot Of il.
Al places in the text, there are
nice word variations from the us
ual one syllabled variety found
in juvenile picture books. And
the author also has q nice feeling
for verbs.
Willy Nilly slithers through
slippery leaves. creepy vines and
tall elephant grass. he threatens
10 snap al flies and swallow bugs
and snip off cat tails like an ALI
gator. He rips past trees, cuts
through thick Jungle foliage, and
crashes through giant leaves.
The illustrations are in excel

SEA
.,ECRE'TS

@. What shell cannot be seen
when alive?
A. The baby's-ear or sailors
ear shell. Sinum perspectivum,
when alive is completely en-
closed by the fleshy body of the
mollusk on which it grows. This
mollusk lives partly buried on
sandy beaches of Florida, where
it is often exposed by the low
tide, and resembles white pam
cake in shape. Although the deli
cate pearly shell is invisible to
the collector. it can be freed of
the meat by boiling. The shell is
decidedly flattened and recalls
the Pacific coast abolone in
shape. but the two mollusks are
not closely related.
@. Can a porpoise be told from
a shark when seen from an air
plane?
A. Yes. Although the size and
coloring may appear similar
when they are seen from the air,
porpoise may easily be disting-
uished from a shark by the shape
of the tail. In the porpoise this is
horizontally flattened. as this an
imal swims with an up and down
movement of the tail. In the
shark which swims as ordinary
fish do, sideways sweep of the
tail. the latter is flattened vertl-
cally. This difference is easily
seen from the air and serves to
distinguish these animals al
once.
@. What fish is able TO grasp
strands Of Seaweed with its fins?
A. The ssrgassum fish. Histrio
gibbs. has a fleshy, froglike body
and paired fins which are capa-
bic Of being curled at the tips SO
that il may grasp the strands Of
floating SargaSSum weed In
which il lives. The color Of the
Sargassum fish is remarkable IN
being brown. yellow and white
in patches. exactly matching the
color Of the weed. Although the

ing of Congressional leaders by

Dulles was echoed in the House
