The frankly romantic novel

four or five decades. But
Author Bassett apparently
believes it stu has a market.
And, no. doubt. many people
will find this a soothing
escape from the sordid-truth
school.
Here is a story of life in
the Cape Cod village of Belle
port as it revolves around
Lydia Freeman, a selfless
woman. Also featured is the
mysterious Christopher Hurd.

DIDEROT: ThelTesting Years

DIDEROT: The Testing Years,
l713-l759. BY Arthur NJ.
Wilson. oxford University
Press: $10.509
There's a good reason why
no major biography of Diderot
has been published in English
since Morley's 80 years ago.
1t is that there's very little
known about the French ency-
clopediast whose major work
is one Of the great books in
the history of European cul-
ture. He has been famous as
a name. little known as a man.
Mr.. Wilson is a professor

cism, anthologies. But now
comes a novel on which he has
worked 10 years:
THE FLYING S w AN S
Grown; So
This is q prose epic of a boy
hood in a small Irish sea-
coast town. The time, the
author tells Us, lis as far back
as any Of US who have sur
vived two generations can re-
member"
It's an old-fashioned novel,
very long. greatly detailed,
crowded with characters, and
yet unified by its emphasis on
the boy. Ulick O'Rehill. We
meet him when he is 6 and
leave him when he is grown.
His growth Is q tortuously slow
process. and yet his story is
beautifully told and enlivened
by many dramatic moments.
Victorian Era
The story spans q period
not specified but surmisably
before the turn of the CEN
tury. for Victoria still reigned
oyer Ireland. or tried to. The
plot. too, suggests the Vic
torian novel with its virtues
and villainies. Ulick's father,
from q great family, married
a herdsman's daughter-be-
meath him. his parents felt,
and they put him out of their
lives and plans. He did come
into a fine place, the Abbey.
but he could not keep it. Rob-
ert O'Rehill's debts caught up
with him. and his debtors took
the Abbey. and he fed to
America, leaving his wife and
young son to shift for them
selves. The second son was
born after he left, and the
mother thrust out of her par
ents-in-law's resplendent place,
had to take refuge in her
fathers crowded little home.
Later. after her fathers death,
she moved to the town where
Ulick grew up and she opened
a little shop. The father did
come back. eventually. but he
never was Of help to anyone.
Unlike some other expat-
rate Irish writer's, Mr.. Colum
does not look hack on the
people he knew In his child
hood and early manhood as
warped souls, turned into reb-
els or clods by oppression and
lack Of q chance In life. Those
in his book have their troubles,
but they are ordinary in their
dreams and fears, very. much
like people we've all known.
Nor is there any of the anti

Irish writers so bitterly. The
town, the countryside, the way

vividly alive. and this must

There seems to be great
deal of confusion regarding the
proposed change of location
which USR 81 will eventually
follow in bringing it to certain
highway standards to justify the
increase in the flow of traffic
expected on this Cleveland to
Florida highway.
To justify the increase in
traffic which the improvement
of this north and south highway
thru Ohio is bound to attract,
it is safe to assume changes from
its present location are abso-
lutely a necessity.
Specifications for highway
improvements require certain
road widths and the elimination
Of dangerous curves and railroad
crossings. Since these are exist

Sir Months Training
Benefit to Gunrdsn,en
Commanding Officer
OF Ambulance 60.
Explains PROGRAM

The value of six months of
active duty training at an
army training center as a
n a ional guardsman was
stressed today by Captain
Charles J. Coyle, commander
of the ambulance company,
ll2th medical battalion, who
emphasized the Importance of
young men volunteering for such
training.
1t was pointed out that not
only does this training reduce
the time young man must
serve in the ready reserves, but
it helps open the way for more
rapid promotion in the national
guard, for a commission, and for
appointment to the United States
military academy or the air force
academy.
Speaking on the six month
training program, Capt. Coyle
said: Young men who join the
national guard prior to April /,
this year, and who are between
II and 1914 years of age, will
go on active duty for six months
only should they desire to do so.
'iAs the rules now stand after
April l, 1857, all men who
desire to enlist in the national
guard will be required to do six
months active duty. Men who
get their military training in the
national guard and enlist before
they are 181a years old are
placed in a I'D classification
and will not be drafted SO long
as they serve satisfactorily.
Men who join the national
guard after they are 1914 years
of age and prior to April /, this
year, will remain in Ia and
will be subject to draft when
they are called"
Continuing his comment on
the training program, Capt.
Coyle said: ''Those who enlist
after they are 181a years old
can be placed in postponed
status as regards to the draft
