cOunCrymen regardless OF his
valor in either war or peace.
Miss Thane has done WASH
ington and America q service
by humanizing its greatest
hero. She has accomplished
this primarily through ac-
curate quotations and COM
ments from letters Of WASH
ington, his caretakers, friends
and guests. These statements
reveal that Washington's
world revolved around Mount
Vernon. For his home he had
an unfailing love, really a
paternal regard. His eight
years as Commander-in-
Chief Of the Continental Ar
mics and as President Of the
United States were disconso-
late not because Of the prob
lens Of war and statecraft
which faced him but because
Of his absence from his be-
loved Mount Vernon.
Other Facets
The great events Of the
Revolutionary years from
1853 to 1774 passed over his
head insignificantly. This
was partly due to the fact
that his most sincere interest
was his devotion to his es-
tate. One Of the happiest
days of his life was Christ
mas Eve 1888 when he. as a
tired wanderer. reached home
in time for dinner.
There are in this book
many unusually depicted
sides Of Washington. Friends.

Loves to Write
SAMSON Is a remarkable
writer-mainly, I think, be-
cause, along with the little
matter of his outstanding
talent, he transparency loves
to write.
Advisedly, he calls the SO
exhibits in this collection
STORIES" rather than short
stories" because they vary
so widely in length, from
two-page sketches to short
novels, or noueIIGs. The ear
lest date from 1947; the
latest from 1858.

Amazing Versatility
And he is as versatile in
his locales as, let us say, a
keyboard virtuoso-like Svia-

say-who is equally at home
in the worlds Of Couperin,

George A. England, director
Of motor vehicles in the Dis
trict, has offered IL suggestions
on safe automobile driving dur
ing snow emergencies:
L. Most important of all,
don't drive your car unless you
absolutely have to.
2. II you must drive, be sure
you have a full tank Of gas,
Standing in a line Of traffic
uses up gas at a very rapid
rate. If you run out, you'll be
guilty of needleSsly blocking
traffic and subject to arrest.
8. Keep windshield and win
dows clear. Open a window to
keep the inside Of windows
from Jogging. Clear all snow
and ice off your glass before
you drive. Don't be a peep
hole driver"
(. Get the feel Of the road
and adjust your speed accord
tngly.
5. Keep well back Of the car
ahead. It takes from three to
IL times more distance to stop
on snow and ice than on dry
pavement.
8. Start stopping sooner. Ap-
ply your brakes before you en-
ter curves and intersections.
Maintain safe stopping dis
tances from the vehicles in
front Of you.
z. Pump your brakes to
maintain best control when
slowing down on ice or snow.
Don't Jam them on.
9. If you skid, turn your
steering wheel in the direction
Of the skid to head the vehicle
back on course.
Q. Don't run your battery
down. Remember that while
you are standing in traffic,
your heater, radio, headlights
and other electrical equipment
are draining your battery and
can leave you stranded.
