Here is another rare book
to look for in any collection
of old books about the West.
John Hale was an East
erner who made the over
land trip to California in
search of gold and glory.
And while his literary effort
was entitled California AS
It Is" very little of the book
was devoted to a description
of the gold region itself.
Instead, it was devoted
primarily to his description
of the overland journey
through the Rocky Noun
tains and beyond. The title
page. typically long -winded
in the style of the period,
reads in part as follows:
CALIFORNIA AS IT IS;
being A Description of a
Tour BY THE OVERLANT
ROUTE AND SOUTH PASS
OF THE ROCKY NOUN.
TAINS Across the Con-
tinent of N. America. :.
BY JOHN HALE. ROCH-
ESTER: 1851.
AS Hale himself put it,
the 40-page paperbound book
was written primarily to per-
suade others to remain in
a civilized country" instead
of going to California.
There are only three copies
known, and they are valued
in the ,000-and-upward
class. II

they know they all belong

wholly unprepared for the
challenge of the day.
A tense child is an un-
cooperative child. A tense
child is an unfriendly child.
He will not, he cannot ap-
ply himself to work or even
to play under these circum-
stances.
The teacher has to over
come these home-produced
problems before learning can
take place. This, then, is an
appeal to all parents to have
a little more regard for
Johnny and Susie and the
teacher at the start of the
day.
Avoid Tension
Make every effort to start
each day in an atmosphere
as relaxed and tension-free
as possible. Morning isn't
the time Of day for Nom
and Dad to renew last
nights argument over the
budget. Neither is it the best
time to cry over the burned
hole in the living room car
pet or the fact that the
house needs painting. Leave
these things for another
time.
You, Mother. who were so
conscientious in seeing that
Johnny and Susie got to bed
on time last night so that
they would be rested for the
new day, don't spoil their
day with seedlings which will
blight their enthusiasm for
learning.
You, Dad, who pride your
self on being a good bread
winner and sending your
children to school well fed
and well dressed, don't for
get one other vitality i'm
portant item of outfitting
that they must have; the
feeling of being loved and

You wouldn't send Johnny
to school without his shirt,
or Susie without her shoes.
But how many days of the
week do these youngsters of
yours leave home with the
feeling that you're glad to
get rid Of them?
How many days do they
go to school without the one
thing they need moSt-the
deep-seated thrill that comes
only from the child's know
ledge that he is loved and
wanted. Only a parent can
give this, and only a parent
can take it away. This is
the heartbeat of life.
AS youngsters grow older,
they may develop a better
understanding of Da DIS

seedlings and admonitions.
But when they are very young
and just starting out into
the newness of school they
need every ounce of demon
strable love you parents can
give them.
This is a vitality important
time in their lives. This is
a great beginning for them
when the worldi S so new
and strange. If they develop
feelings of insecurity and
inadequacy at this point in
their lives, the marks may
be deep, the wounds may
never quite heal.
Child Handicapped
I have children of my own
ana l know the tensions
that can and do develop
during those early-day hours
when there's a rush to get
everyone up, bathed, fed,
dressed and off to their re-
spective missions. I know
that there are times when
I failed as a parent in these
circumstances; hence my
concern in advising you.
The morning rush is, you
say, only a very small part
of the whole day-just an
hour or so and then it's all
over and all forgotten. Tell
yourself that, but you know
it isn't true. You have set
the tenor of their whole day.

pressed is merely a matter of
organization.
So, to the accompaniment of
dialogue that can be brilliant
only to the extent that it is
carefree. the raffiSh old heroine
undertakes to meet the situa-
tion's challenge.

1ntelllgenceS. The play repre-
Sents its authors verdict on
msterialism with its bankrupt
ing price tag and his offer of
the true riches to be found in
love and compassion.
It's reception drew an ovation
from a capacity audience at
last nights formal opening.
Sharing this with the POLITICALLY
persuasive M. Giraudoux was
Miss Aline Mcmahon, playing
the title role as guest of Arenas
permanent company.
And, correlatively. the multi
tude Of regulars directed by F.
CowleS Strickland in an imag-
inative work that is particularly
exacting of Arena staging and
OF a company not notably ia
miliar with fantasy. 1t is in the
second and more amusing act
that the performance comes
closest to catching the soaring
sardonic spirit of the play.
y
GiraudouX, a diplomat by
vocation, has arrived at a con-
cept Of what is wrong with the
world that is both convincing
and delightful in The Mad
woman"
The operators, he laments,
have taken over the world
which can be salvaged only by
its recapture by the simple. ele-
mental people for whom it was
really made. For the latter. he
creates saviour in the gro
teSque form of a madwoman of
Paris Chaillot district. Not for
this daffy old Lady Bountiful is
resignation to the greed of the
materialists. If they are fools
enough in their greed to believe
there is oil under Paris. she will
send them down into the sewers
to. look for it and let them be
carried away with the rest of
the sewage.
Few counter-plots have
equalled this one in inspiration.
Also its success is assured from
the first sense of its possibilities
in the added, impractical, un-
worldly or other worldly mind
Of Chaillot's beloved madwom-
an.

duction. 1t is the one in which

taneously played. Init the COM
pany has caught the spirit OF
the authors recipe for redemp-
ton, the despatch of the opera
tors to the sewer after as hilar-
ious a trial scene as anyone ever
wrote.
Like Shaw, only much less
discursively and much more
warmly, Giraudoux impose
quite a burden upon his players.
Fortunately in Arenas pro-
duction. Miss Mcmahon is COM
pletely and contagiouSly at ease
in the comedy's soaring fam

their fluttery expression have a
core of practicality. a faith that
