Plans, Being Laid For Museum
 Library in Nome

Twelve people met at the Multi Purpose Room of the school Mon day night for the initial meeting of the proposed Museum Library program. Those attending were: Bob Herman, John Maakestad, Lester Bronson, Pearse Walsh, Gerald McCray. Clinton Grays Mary Honsberger, Ruth McIsain, Lloyd Sundstrom, Bob Harwood, Myrtle Johnson. and Don Lowell, State Civil Defense Director.
 All in attendance represented one or more groups and many interesting ideas came to light. Most agreed that central down. town location is desirable al- though possibly not mandatory. Everyone felt quite strongly that fireproof concrete structure was certainly a must for tie building. The general feeling was that two-story structure would he Set ter in that one story would house the museum and the second story would be the library. It would be desirable to have a basement which could be used for storage and in the event of fallout or disaster could well serve civil defense needs as a fal1out shelter. It was also sug- gested that the building could be constructed in the shape of an igloo which would enhance its tourist value.
 Many ideas were proposed as fund-raising projects for the monies to be used for construc- sion, some of these being possible incorporation and the sale of stock, solicitation ofsthe many for mer Nome residents who have moved to warmer climates but still have their hearts with us, inducements to concerned busi- nesses such as the airlines who would benefit in tourist travel and travel agencies. Others felt that people and businesses who have made their stake here in this area would certainly be in terested. The most popular opln- ion of the evening however, was that the museum would certainly have to be large. structure to house all that would be put in it.
 The final business of the meet ing was to arrange for next meeting and what 1t would be for. It was decided that representation ;rf all groups and organizations would be asked to send repre- sentative to the next meeting so that they in turn might take the ideas back to their groups and that the third meeting be mass meeting so that a actual body be formed to elect it's own officers or board of directors and that de- finite plans be started to form a plal, of operation. It is becoming more apparent to everyone that with an actual organization which has definite goal and plan to attain this goal the obstacles are not many nor irslirmountable-
 The next meeting will be at the Nome School Multi Purpose Room, 7.3O p.r1., Monday, Dec. {. All groups, organizations and clubs are requested to please send a representative.

A Modifier

ELEGY IN MANHATTAN.
By George Jessel. (Holt,
Rinehart and Winston;
$3.50
George JesSel is a man
who thinks through his eyes.
This is what he tells us, in
as striking an example of
the dangling modifier as any
literary season could offer:
ITO my way of thinking,
which is only through the
eyes of a theatrical man,
there must be some higher
power directing us.") He is
also a man who has lived in
and around Broadway all his
life, a man gifted, by his own
admission, with a sensitive
understanding" of his con-
temporaries.
The latter stands him in
good stead and nearly res
cues his book from the ver-
bal clumSineSs illustrated
above. "Elegy in Manhattan"
is a collection of free-verSe
Soliloquies spoken by former
Broadway greats from the
grave. This is a familiar idea
for a book, borrowed from
Edgar Masters Spoon River
Anthology" in fact, but it's
a good idea and Mr.. Jessel
borrows wholesale.
Not so the verse, unfor-
tunately. 1t is Mr.. Jessel'S
own, without cadence or
meter, resembling prose SEN
tences chopped into varying
lengths on the page. The re-
suit is not entirely without
charm, though. Mr.. Jessel
does know his people we'll
from Lillian Russell to AL
Jolson-and he reveals bits
of their intimate lives you
won't find in official biog-
raphies.
All in all, this book might
tighten a few hours in the
lives of those whose hearts
belong to Broadway. For the
rest it merely proves once
again what we have long
suspected-that the day of
the cultural polymorph is
gone. You can't be both a
gifted raconteur and a gifted
poet anymore.

Quality Education

In the Washington area,
especially in neighboring
counties, school libraries
have been strengthened as
an essential in quality edu-
cation. Many new books are
available to support these
wide reading programs.
Whatever a child's interest
or reading level, it is possible
to find attractive and ex-
citing books.
Some eaSy-reading series
planned with too limited vo-
cabulary defeat their own
purpose by a dull and awk-
ward style. This is unfortu-
nately true of the children's
classics retold by Jean Lee
Latham (Bobbs, MerrilD and
the Read-It- Myself series ed
tied by Frances K. Pavel
(Holt-Rinehart- Winston).
Other authors and editors
have managed to combine in
teresting stories with sound
educational practice in easy"
books. Some of these are: I

father, on the contrary, is
brilliantly created by only a
dozen or so comments and
fleeting scenes. In the other
two sections of the book,
however, I felt that the
mother as focal point (she be-
ing seldom on the scene) was
very effective. The truth is
that Virgilia is never quite
sure about her mother, and
to have given her a definitive
portrayal would have been
lying.
Virgilia left Vassar to take
her junior year in Grenoble,
France. 1t is there we learn

destined to be her second
husband, a Polish feudal
prince, and embraces Cathol-

riage. Both families object to
the match, and the twenty
year-old girl returns home,
frustrated, to wait. Two years
later she marries a young
man who writes advertise
ments for golf-balls and who
in the narrative is otherwise
completely undistinguished.
There was no love between
them, although Virgilia re-
members her first husband
without rancor. Her life now
becomes a hectic scherzo,
mad, bad, glad, sad. Her
first adultery, with a promi-
nent conductor about whom
she had written a magazine
article, is a two-page Wig

sweet, that one has to go

MANILA GALLEON. BY F.
Van Wyck Mason. Little,
Brown; $3.50
This novel is the story of
Commodore George Anson,
called the father of the mod
ern British Royal Navy. The
narrative describes his IA
nous voyage around the
world in the 1740s.
The squadron Anson led
had orders to harasS the
Spaniards and if possible to
capture the Manila Galleon,
the most fabulous treasure
ship known. AS usually
happened in those days, the
little squadron was ILL
manned, with few expert
enced sailors; badly equipped
and meagerly provisioned.
There is high adventure in
the story, but also brutality
and misery in the realistic
touches of a fiction which
is based strictly on history.
No one writing today can
so well recall the great old
days of the British navy
or only one other author,
and he is C. S. Forester,
chronicler of the Hornblower
saga. Like Forester, Van
Wyck Mason has absorbed
history and harnessed it to
a glowing Imagination.

THE MAN WHO SAVED
LONDON. By George Mar

telli. Doubleday; $4.500
Surely there are few men
in history who have volun-
teered to serve free men so
well and at such a sacrifice
as did a French salesman
named Michel Hollard dur
ing World War II. This book
is M. Hollands story - and
the story also of men who
choose to degrade their fell
low human beings in a way
as despicable as M. Hollands
actions were heroic.
The story starts with the
German occupation of most
of France. M. Hollard, an
ordinary Frenchman until
then, decided there must be
some way he could help his
country. He did, by organiz-
ing single-handed a large
spy network that sent in
formation about the Ger
mans to the allies in London.
He had no help from out
side-no parachutists drop
ping supplies and agents, not
even a radio to send informa-
ton. He taught himself and
his agents the espionage arts
and carried the resulting in
formation, personally, across
the guarded Swiss border
scores of times.
The most important piece
of information was an archi-
tect's plan of a "buzz-bomb"
site in northern France-the
first solid information re-
ceived by the allies about
Hitler's new secret weapon.
M. Hollands information en-
abled allied bombers to plas-
ter the hidden launching
sites and cut buzz-bomb
deaths to a fraction of their
potential.
M. Hollard was inevitably
captured, tortured and sent
to a death camp in Germany.
He revealed no information

these are stories for Ameri-

They reflect the American,
