takes the third diamond and
leads a club.
South steps up with the ace
of clubs and leads a spade. East
takes the ace OF spades and
leads another club. South takes
the king of clubs and caShes
the queen Of hearts. He then
leads a spade to dummy and
cashes the last two diamonds.
South makes the contract,
winning one spade, two hearts,
four diamonds and two clubs.

belong at the same table as
the other three. Don't try to
listen to the conversation at
the table. You won't get any

spirit. There is only the question:
When will | be blown up? Because of
this, the young man or woman writing
today has forgotten the problems of
the human heart in conflict with itself
which alone can make good writing be-
only that is worth writing about,
worth the agony and sweat.
He must learn them again. He must
teach himself that the basest of all
things is to be afraid; and, teaching
himself that, forget it forever, leaving
no room in his workshop for anything
but the old v~erities and truths of the
heart, the old universal truths lacking
which any story is ephemeral and
doomed = love and honor and pity and
pride and compassion and sacrifice. I'm
It'll he does so, he. labors under a curse.
He writes not OF. love but of lust, of
defeats in which nobody loses anything
of value, of victories without hope and,
worst Of all, without pity or compass
sion, His griefs grieve on no universal
bones. leaving no scars. He writes NOT
of the heart but of the glands.
Until he ~relearns these things, he
will write as though he stood among
and watched the end of man. l decline
to accept the end of man. 1t is easy
enough to say that man is immortal
simply because he will endure; that
when the last ding-dong of doom has
changed and faded from the last worth
less rock hanging tideless in the last
red and dying evening, that even then
there will still be no more sound; that
of his puny in~exhaustible voice, still
talking. / refuse to accept this. I be-
aieve that man viii not merely endure:
He will prevail. He is immortal, not be-
cause he alone among creatures has an
inexhaustible voice, but because he has
a SOUL, q spirit capable of compassion
and sacrifice and endurance. The poets
the writer's, duty is to write about
these things. It is. his privilege, to help
mar endure by lifting his heart, by re-
minding him of the courage and honor
and hope and pride and compassion and
pity and sacrifice which have been the
glory of his past. The poets voice need
not merely be the record of man, it
can be one of the props the pillars to
help him endure and prevail"

Nobel Prize Speech

William Faulkner is gone and it is
one of the great regrets of our life we
were never privileged to know him per-
N%sonally.
We deem it our loss, and the loss
of Mississippi, that this great man and
writer was least appreciated and under
stood in his own native state which
he loved deeply.
The world acclaim showered on him
will undoubtedly increase with the pas
sing of time and a high, place in litera-
ture is assured for this writer who was
and is one of the worlds most illus
tricus citizens.
The appeal of Faulkner for us lies
in his enormous capacity for humanity,
his great longing and striving after
the human spirit and heart of univer-
sal man, his urgent cry and plea to man
to rise above himself and spark the
grain of greatness which rests in every
human heart.
Those who say they have no taste
for the man or his writing should read
the acceptance speech he made on re-
ceiving the Nobel prize for literature
i'm Stockholm on December 10, 1850.
The speech itself was d classic ,chal-
