IN a book. It must spark an

the writer has to steep him.
self in his subject until he
feels it as a part Of him.
self, as part Of his own life.
Only the author who has so
lived with his subject can
make 1t live on paper.
This is true Of all litera-
ture-on non-fiction as well
as fiction, Of history, bio
graphy, or social satire, Of
visions of a world, q life,
q dream. 1t Is true whether
the spark Is struck from
without or from within,
whether the assimilated ex-
perience, the material in
which the writer sleeps him.
self, transports him into
other lands and times or
merely into other human be-
ings, or into an inner world.
For, as Freud taught us, the
soul too is a far country.
1t is this communion with
his subject that the writer
seeks to share. He wants
readers open to his own ex-
perience-readers who do not
read just to learn, or Just
for pleasure. Books, it has
often been said, are bridges.
They are bridges between the
ages Of mankind, between
nations and races. religions
and ideologies, traditions and
states Of mind. They span
CULTS that would seem un-
bridgeable otherwise. But
bridges are not built to teach
us what lies on the far side;
they are built to take us
there. To use them, writer
and reader must cross to-
gether, hand In hand-and
the writer's hope, dear reader,
is for this Joint journey.

Dear Reader:

OCd4 1SCdOC1
Turnabout is fair play, so
for once let us ask not what
the author of a book can
do for you, but what you
can do for the author. Only
you and he between you can
make the book do its best,
and communication is a two
way street.
Whatever the author has
chosen to write about will
reflect himself. You have to
judge, first, whether you are
interested in him or his
theme; If you care for
neither, your dialogue will
end before it begins. But once
you embark on the adventure
of reading, you and the au-
thor are in the same boat

Presidents on all levels are
getting younger every day.
Mr.. Peter Pelham, 80,
recently took office as presi-
dent of Mount Vernon Sem
mary and Junior College.
"a college president is a
jack-of-aIl-t says Mr..
Pelham, a dark haired, ener-
getic gentleman who would
look more than at home on a
movie marquee.
"You are nothing short OF
a mediator between the
board of trustees, the fac
ulty and students. To assume
an exalted position, I think
is unfortunate"
Mr.. Pelham was appointed
president of the seminary
and junior college a year and
Y half ago, when DR.. and
Mrs. George Lloyd, respective
presidents Of the two schools,
retired.
They agreed, however, to
remain at the school for
another year while Mr.. Pei
ham completed Pho. re-
quirements in English at the
University of Virginia. Mr..
Pelham has been on the
board during this academic
year.
To accept the presidential
appointment was a difficult
decision for Mr.. Pelham and
his wife Lsobel. They have two
children-Melissa (MisSi), 2,
and Pete, 8 months.

FINISHED LUMBER SIZES
In IncheS)

Use right lumber SIZE for accurate
building and repairing.
This problem Of size looms
big when you want to use new
lumber in an integral part of
an old house. Dry lumber that
doesn't shrink or swell is especi-
ally important in such remodel
ing work. Uneven walls and
ceilings ma1rcd with cracks and
bulgcs could result otherwise.
You can expect the least
shlinkage in cedar and redwood.
Moderate shrinkage is found in
cypress, Douglas fir, cherry,
chestnut. hemlock, pine, spruce
and walnut.
The biggest shrinkers in dry
ing are Eastwood. beech, elm.

Saguaro which protects some of

main section is just east of the
city at the foot of the Tanque

newer part now is located in Tue
