THE OTHER PARIS. BY Ma
Wis Gallant. (Houghton
Miffiin; $3.50.)
Miss Warner has been
writing, with crystalline mas
terry, since 1926. With this
new collection of short stories,
as in the presence of a fine
symphony orchestra, you can
relax, knowing no false notes
will be sounded. Miss Gallant
is a newcomer to the field, and
so good as to be almost un-
believable.
In Winter in the Air." irony
is in the air. Not that Miss
Warner cannot accomplish
other effects, for indeed she
seems to be able to do any,
thing she wants, but irony is
the prevailing note. In "Hee-
Haw." for instance, a middle
aged woman revisitS the scene
of a bitter youthful love, only
to find from an ancient OBJ
server that to the world it was
bliss itself and that she had
been better loved than she
knew. In "Shadwell" an old
retainer left a trifling legacy,
silently berates the conscience
stricken solicitor who tells her
the news for not bringing
flowers to the dead miser. And
SO it goes. Forsaken wives.
bereft mothers, comfort-loving
spinsters, lovers expecting
blackmail and finding neglect,

Fischer's Latest

Sam Fischer's one-man show
at the Obelisk Gallery. 3241
P street, Georgetown, is the
best he has had, in my opin-
ion. This New Yorker, whose
first here several years ago
was composed of paintings of
Italy, done on a Fulbright fell
lowship, is now showing oils
and collages, most of them
painted last year, with more
color, in a higher key. They
are semiabstract. harmonious
and technically we'll done, and
have sufficient reference to the
subjects to interest the lay
man. Fischer obtains inter-
esting textures by overlaying
scraps of paper on the same
ground, in some instances; in

Shamrock Time

For thOSe VINO ike their
reading to be seasonal we call
attention to the Spate of books
about transplanted Irish being
published this year. Nobody
who wants to be discovered
reading the right thing on St.
Patrick's Day will have any
trouble.
"The Last Hurrah." Edwin
O'Connor's joyful account of
the Celt in public life is still
available. This week, Dorothy
Salisbury Davis Men of No
Property" a novel about Irish
immigrants in New York, hove
into view, and by March 20,
Henry w. Clune's THE Big
Fella," all about a political
boss in upstate New York,
will be in the book stores.
On the day itself, the Louisi-
ana State University Press will
bring out THE Irish in Amer
ica' by Carl Wittke. A glance
at this reveals it to be schol-
arly but not depressing. Here
are a few sample lines:
"An irrepressible buoyancy,
a vivacious spirit, a kindliness
and tolerance for the common
frailties of men. and a feeling
that it is time enough to bid
the devil good morning when
you meet him are character
traits which Americans have
associated with their Irish
neighbors for more than a
century"
The fact that some Irish
Americans have spent a life
time trying to shatter that
concept of themselves and
their fellows doesn't detract a
whit from the reliability of
such sentiments.

THE QUIET AMERICAN
Viking; $500 is a story of
the recent fighting in Indo-
China. Far different in theme
and delineation from the last
two books, it reveals in the
author a versatility some Of
his admirers may not have
suspected.
An Unbeliever
There is nothing in THE
Quiet American" to suggest, as
those other novels did, that
Mr.. Greene is a convert to the
Catholic church. Not only
does the new story lack re-
ligious significance, but the
narrator, who may not be the
hero-you'll have to figure out
on whom, if anyone, to place
that mantle-is an unbeliever
and remains one to the final
page.
This narrator, Fowler, is a
British correspondent based in
Saigon. The quiet American
of the title is Pyle. a youth out
of Harvard, who is attached
to an American economic mis-
sion. Pyle not only is quiet.
but singularly naive. When he
decides he is in love with
Fowler's mistress, a lovely ma
tive girl. he promptly tells
Fowler and assures him he
will try to win her away open
and aboveboard; Pyle, in
fact. wants to marry her,
which Fowler is unable to do
because he has an estranged
wife in London.
Deadly Intrigue
Pyle is equally naive about
Americas role in the Wet
Namese war. He decides to
espouse secretly the cause Of
a general who is fighting both
the Communists and the
French. With the best mo-
tives, he finds himself involved
in deadly intrigue which leads
to his own doom.

The first one-man show in

The major influence on Mar

1t seems to me that this
mode is in its turn circum-

oil on paper, composing the
current show, more than 20
depict heads and a few figures
strongly recalling mask-like
early Indian sculptures. De-
spite variations and nuances,
it will probably occur to the
average visitor that when he

SIX SKIES

dren-just about the biggest thing
that has happened in recent years
On Monday morning, October
9Th, sixth grade boys and girls
from Mayfair, Rozelle, and Super.
ior Schools will ride out to River
Road Camp in the Metropolitan
Park, near the Chagrin River, for
five days of camping and outdoors
learning. Several of their teachers
will accompany them, and some
of the others too. From Monday
through Friday, the 18th, they
will learn and play in the open,
and come home Friday night.
Similar groups will leave from
Chambers and Prospect schools on
October 18th, and third and final
expedition will be from Caledonia
on the 22rd.
There is more to tell about this
Camping School project, which
we will save for later weeks. In
the meanwhile, we are asking the
camp instructors to name some
boys and girls Camp Reporters,
who can let us know what goes on
out there. If some East Cleveland
youngster has an encounter with
skunk, for instance, it ought to
be interesting enough-and safe
enough, from this distance-to
report about it here.
Prospect
"Trashcraft" is a new kind of
art work being made by Prospect
Schools fifth graders, under their
teachers Miss Alma Woodruff and
Miss Edith Porter. AS might be
suspected, it is craft work made
from trash.
Ingenious designs, some of them
strikingly modern" have been
made out of such odds and ends
as cotton, old buttons, last years
Christmas tinsel, pipe cleaners,
wire, paper clips, twigs, and an
old compass. The results are
pasted on cardboard backgrounds
and displayed in a case in the
main hall of the school. The past
ing, we understand, gives the as
sembled designs the special name
of collage" (rhymes with "gar-
ageO, which means any kind of
pasted and mounted collection.
Another display at Prospect
features vacation-trip souvenirs
brought back by various pupils
from summer trips. There are
beautiful shells, Indian dolls, toma-
hawks, knives, and colored stones.
as reminders to their owners of
pleasant trips last summer.

Caledonia's first music assembly
of the year was held last Friday
morning. Pupils in the three up
per grades new to music were

HOW TO CARVE

First (above) remove

end of the loin. Other
wise, proceed to next
step. Place roast, with
backbone down, rib
side away, and fat side
toward carver. Insert
fork into the meat over
blade bone and cut
close on the under side
of bone to remove it
from the roast.
Next (right), cut off
backbone. Have meat
retailer loosen the back
bone from ribs. Place
roast with backbone
down, ribs to right.
Continue the cut made
between backbone and
ribs leaving as little
meat as possible on the
backbone.
Then below, place
roast on platter, fat
side up, rib side facing
away from carver. Rib
ends will extend slight
ly, serving as a guide
where to cut. Make sure
of the slant of the ribs
before you carve. Cut
close against both sides
of each rib. In that way
you alternately make
one slice with a bone
and one without. In a
small roast, each slice
may be carved to con-
tain a rib.

Yellowstone
Poll Shows
Demo Surge

BILLINGS-A poll taken of II
precincts in Billings shows the Demo
Gratis i'm Yellowstone county to be
almost two ito one favorites over
their Republican opponents, accord
ing to Robert L. Kelleher, chairman
of the Yellowstone County Demo
cratic Get-out-the-vote Committee.
With the exception of two south
side precincts the precincts polled
were in Billings west end. The sur
vey will continue until approximate
ly a week before the election, at
which time final results will be tab
ulated.
Of the II precincts polled, only
two remained Republican, precincts
81 and 80, and even these showed
over a $50 swing to the Democratic
column. In 1854, all but two of the
IL precincts went Republicans.
The issue most Yellowstonihes are
in, according ito pollsters,
is the proposed conStru ction of Vel
lowtail Dam.
Kelleher declared that Mrs. E. Fen
lon Boscher1t, secretary of THE conn
mittee, was the person chiefly re-
sponsible for initiating and execut-
ing the survey.
The poll was begun immediately
after the primary campaign. The 1854
congressional race in Eastern Mon
tana was taken for comparison.
In the II precincts sampled, 1854
voted for Leroy H. Anderson in the
last general election and 4,161 voted
for Republican incumbent Orvin B.
Flare. Percemtage-wise, this meant
received 80 per cent of
the vote from these IL precincts to
Flares 81 per cent. A radical change
is indicated according to THE survey,
which included responses from over
1000 homes. Forty-eight per cent
now inltend to vote Democratic in
November, 25 per cent intend to
vote Republican, and 81 per cent are
still undecided.
