to this girls musical talent

matrimony with the rich man,
though he obviously means
nothing to her except luxuries
she never dreamed she'd have.
She simply sells herself on a
grander scale.
The story is drawn in gray
tones, it's details a matter-of-

ways clear and quite effective.
But what is it's significance?
Does the girl matter-or the

Green Oranges

BY Rene Mason. Translated
from the French by Norman
Denny. (Knopf; $3.J
Mr.. Mason. a perceptive
young French novelist, de-
scribes the love affair of a
youthful criminal and an ado
lescent girl who leaves re-
spectacle home to run away
with him. Simon is no ordinary
thief. A boy of some educa-
ton and a personality that
fools people, he is ingenious at
devising confidence games. The
girl, Mousse, is infatuated with
Simon and she comes also to
love the dangerous CANDLES
they take from day to day.
Their life, as Mr.. Mason de-
picts it, is far from glamorous.
It is a succession of cheap
furnished rooms, starting in
Paris and ending in Corsica
a sordid atmosphere of dirt,
litter and the haunting fear
of the police. But they are in
love and they overlook the
rest. The opening of the story
is confusing, but, once the en-
phasis is placed on the young
people, it moves swiftly, with
sharp suspense. The inevitable
ending is controlled admirably,
with suggestion more power
full than spelled-out reality
would have been.

husband changes, after at
tacking the girl, from an ar
rogant man who runs the Cos
tello junketS into a subdued
drunk. The Irish village of
Esther'S and Mrs. BanniSter's
birth is depicted as inhabited
solely by shiftless, Indifferent
people, almost as bad as Es-
theirs parents, who kept her
in filth in a shack in the yard
of their home. Perhaps there
could be such a village, but
when an EngliShman conjureS
it up, the result is suspect.
Boston has been noted, among
other things, for its doctors.
But those who undertake to
cure Esther are sadistic as well
as stupied. They subject her
to all sorts of violent treat
ments and end with an opera
ton that presumably is a
lobotomy. Now lobotomies,
while they have helped some
hopelessly clouded intellectS,
leave the patients, according
to all accounts, in a retarded
state. Esther, on the other
hand, is exceptionally alert
afterWard.
The point is not that there
haven't been such rackets and
no doubt will be others, but
that this one is not plausible.
Nor are people, even Ameri-
cans, quite as gullible as Mr..
Monsarrat seems to think they
are.
And there is not a real

- Shiloh Report -
A Pastorate house for resi-
dent Pastor who will be always
on call for weddings, christenings
civic and social aids, illness and
more sad circumstances, has been
the unrealized dream of Shiloh
Congregations for over so years.
In all this time there =has been
only one resident pastor in the
community, a factor which has
led to short terms for the larger
percentage of previous pastors.
This is the record to date. The
important question whether this
community can finance both
church and parish house will
have to be eventually put to
test. This week a group of Shiloh
faithful members and friends are
launching Pastorate house
drive. AS in 1899 when the pre-
ssent church building was erect
ed, the financial obstacles seem
beyond conquest. Yet Shiloh was
built and has endured 50 years.
The proposed Pastorate house is
already built on sizeable land.
The employment and wages in
the community have never been
higher. With each family group
pooling a sum of just $25 or
more, the task will be made pos
sible. Such a sum has been spent
by most of us on things of less
material and spiritual value.
Whether this community is to-
day ready for Parish House
will be, and must be, answered
by the people. There were people
of faith just 81 years ago who
made sacrifice. These people had
less money and opportunity
than the people of to-day. All
those who wish to donate to the
church cause will find sincere
thanks, and there is certain to
be many blessings for all the
faithful. So this is the challenge.
We will and must know the an
swer soon.
Two more young men of Shi-
loh are slated for overseas sta
ton in Germany and probably
are there now. They are Hilton
Parham Jr. and Warren Furey.
Hilton's dad donated the Shiloh

Of the Parham family's long de-
votion to the church. Warren a
former member of the Shiloh
Junior Choir, married his sweet
heart, pretty Miss Yvonne Brown
of Roxbury before leaving. 1t
was a New Year event. Other
Shiloh members and friends now
in Germany include Captain and
Mrs. Hamilton Kelley and fami-
Iy: Lieutenant and Mrs. Cecil
Phillips and family, and War
rant Officer and Mrs. Arthur

congregation grows and expands.
