Miner's

great novel

E

LEVEN years ago at a do- monstration in Trafalgar- square someone sold me a paper - covered book of poems for a shilling. The poot was a young Scottish miner named Joo Corrie, and his verses sang with irony and bitterness

of the muck and drudgery of the pit.

Now, Jon Corrie has written a novel which repeats the theme of his vorsts. Black Earth (Rout- ledge, 78. 04.) pictures quite simply and quite horrifyingly the grim .and inexorable tyranny of the Pit over the dwellers in a little mining town.

It brings them pit-conditioned hovels. pit-controlled. bables, - pli-truncated education, pit-axed prices in the shops, pit-caused illness and death.

Mr. Corrio, you see, has written a Bocial Document but, fortunately, he is a sentimentalist at heart, and so his story continually struggles from the straight and rigid path of the doctrin- aire, and becomes human and enter- taining

Bo, although this book solves no problems, it a moving picture of real human beings working and striking. being heroes or blacklegs, gossiping. cursing, betting. being generous and being mean. They are neither all good

The New Quickube Tray will find favour with averyone. It increases the capacity of the freezer for fraazing desserts, salads and ice cubes; also for storage of bulky frozen articlos and highly perishable foods.

Three in one. All three functions of the Cold Control, the Automatic Resat Defroster and the Master Switch are now controllable from a singlo dial which is known as the Frigidaire Uni-Matic Control.

Here's an added refinement that users will appreciate: a now Super Freexor Door which closes at a finger's touch, but, most important of all, it opens all the way and stays open until you want it to close.

Storage space for the extra ice cubes needed for parties is an added uso for the Meat Tender. It holds all the cubos that can be frozen, at one time, thus doubling the ice cubo capacity of the refrigerator.

nor, ni bad, but like the rest of us (and this is what makes the 'social reformer's job no hard), just moral leopards, good and bad in spota.

MISS LA. R. WYLIE shifts the

scene from coal-digging to gold- digging. The Young in Heart (Cassell, Ba od) is one of a volume of short stories. It has the sentimental galety of a Capra film and tells sparklingly how a family of profesajonal parasitea sels out to sponge on a lonely old lady In a large London house. But a miracle of delayed Epring takes place and good deeds come to town. Perhaps, however. you have already seen it translated into a most amusing Allm.

Another of Miss Wylle's stories, "Witches' Babbath,” is an all-too- credible piece of horror about a little- Jewish boy in a Nazi-controlled school.

BUT the book of the week for mo

has been Richard Oke's Strange Island Story (Arthur Barker, 78. Gd;), which is all about a revolution in a semi-tropical British island, a small- scale Trinidad or Jamaica.

It is enormously funny, very exciting. and tremendously well written, streaked with poetry and lightly-borne learning. To action is spread over a few days and the inanner of telling the story- in recurring sections each from the point of view of a particular character vividly adds to the onrush and in- ter-play of eventa

The author mirrors their externala with the wit of Evelyn Waugh down to the Inst click of the dental plate, the last unspoken thought, the final idiosyncrasy too absurd to be Imagined, and he burrows into their minda with the ironic persistence of E. M. Forster. It is remarkable with how to wisdom the world is governed," Bir Albany Pontoon, Governor of the Island, quotes to himself in his bath at the outset of this book. It is the topical and significant theme of a brilliant novel

Vagabond's Wife

I Married ́a Vagabond, by Rachel Latta Franck, New-York: Apple- ton-Century

A

NYONE who has read Harry A. Franck's, accounts of his wanderings on foot around the world knows a little about Rachel Latta Franck, his wife. Mr. Franck is not опе to obtrude himself, or his family, between the reader and the far corners of the globe which he describes. But between lines it has been easy to discover that Mrs. Franck-ls practically the perfect wife for a vagabond, al- ways ready to accept her half of a travel ticket and not worry- ing over much that it is rarely a trip de luxe.

Now, Mrs. Franck has picked up a pen herself and the result is delightful, for Mrs. Franck has plenty to tell on her own account, an intimate, friendly story of countries and people from which there emerges the picture of a family, two adults and five children, whose charac- ters are revealed only in the play upon them and about them of different nationalities.

Halloy made his advent on English freighter at Puerto Colom- bla: Little Younger Sister Joined them In Peking. Two more children call the United States their birth- place and Peter arrived in Sussex,

Mrs. Franck has taken care of them on trains in Japan, China, and Korea. Sho found schools for them in England, dipped in the canal to fill their baths when tho' water, was shut off at their house in southern France, found a place to board them while she saw Scandinavia with her husband. And now they are ali settled in an old farmhouse,' in Pennsylvania..

But not too sottled. Education may "have put chalas" on the family temporarily. There is a real desiro on the part of the parents that their children shall grow up "inherently Americans," in spile of the fact that Peler, was in six countries before he was a year old and that they all have learned to prattle different languages. Mrs Franck may come down the long tree-shaded lane each time with the same thrill of joy that this is "home."

But then too, she admits, "I never feel as much at home as when my trunk is locked and my hat is on." And, knowing that she too is a vagabond, she concludes with "is this the place we like best out of all the world! Perhaps it is--but we are dragging our anchor #2
