alnrtOHt ait well aa the three lop ' fiction” be«t-«ell-

“Anf«l Unaware”—Hale Et'an* HoRem. Written
by the movie-dtar wife of Uoy Rogern.
"Sexual Behavior in the Human Female'*—Dr.
Alfred C. Kinjiey. $8 in a lot of cabbage, but 200,-
000 Americanii had the $8 for thin one,
“Life l( Worth Living"—Fulton J. Sheen. An in
spirational volume by the Catholic Bijthop.
"A Man Called Peter”—Catherine Marshall. The
recollectionn of the Kev. Peter Mamhail, as writ
ten by hi* wife.
(It ia intereittinK to note that of the *ix “Non-Fictional
Beat'^llem,'* four dealt with reliiriou* subjecU; one an
inspirational perronalVtory (“AnRel Unaware”); and only
one dealintr with man an “animal” alone.)
Poetry And Criticiun
Afl it iri the unhappy truth that Poetry and Criticism
are hardly ever of the “He»t-(*eIlinK” cateKor>'. I can only
report on what the variou* critic* conaidered the outntand-
Inir work)t in thene two fieldx for 195.1.
1. ‘'Collected Poem»”—Dylan Thoman. It waa the
Reneral opinion that thin was the finest volume of
poems to appear in ’53. TIME magazine aaid, “this
volume confirmed what had long been clear: that
he wa* the finest younjf poet writing in English”.
It seems tragic to think that no more will come
from his pen, since his death at 39 removed a ma
jor talent from the literary scene.
“Brother To Dragon*”—Robert Penn Warren. A
long narrative poem about a frontier incident, was
widely acclaimed.
“A Hopkin* Reader”—Gerard Manly Hopkins. A
volume devoted to the works of the Victorian poet
who has had much influence upon the poets of our
own generation.
4. “New Poemi”—A volume of poets writing today.
Quite a bargain at only 35 cents.
5. There seems to have been no major work of criti
cism this year, although the NEW YORK TIMES
BOOK REVIEW did award a vote of “confidence”
to V. S. Pritchard’s, *‘BooU» In General”, a collec
tion of literary es.<<ays.

The weekly HERALD in St. Peter, Minn., ran this
claanified ad: "WANTED; Man to handle dynamite. Must
be prepared to travel unexpectedly.”
Which is just what I will be having to do, if I don’t
sign off here, and get to studying for exams. Sio “Adios”
and see you next semester. (I Hope!)
EEEEEEEK!

by saying that crime is always punished in their picture
stories, the punishment is nearly always incidental to the
many pages of featured brutality. Dr. Wertham points out.
He blames comic books for the increase in violent juvenile
delinquency within the last five years, and cites crimes
committed by children who admitted they’d gotten the
idea from a comic book.
When the question of censorship of comic books arises,
says Dr. Wertham, the issue becomes not the distribution
of harmful literature but the infringement of freedom of
the press. Actually, he reminds, all magazines and news
papers for adults are censored in some way or other by the
editors — but the children’s reading matter is allowed to
go its untrammelfd way. l.«gal control of their publication,
he believeh, is an absolute necessity if the glorification of
crime and violence in the minds of children is to be curbed.'

The fuitcases didn't contain party

There were art books for book

“I managed to ignore them the
first week.*’ said Jo Ann. "But the
second w«rk, like monsters, the>

One of Mildred Blackmon s New
Year's resolutions is to keep a
Christmas card list. “The people
who send cards and those to whom
1 send thenf wUl be recorded and
added to or subtracted from as the
years go by.’* says Mildred.
Durink the holidays Mildred found
that she had twjce as many friends
as she thought. She sent half of
them Christmas cards and the oth
er half sent cards to her.
Workina and Playing
Jom Peebles got his first Christ

)ob. Not like most people he struck
it lucky <iod the first place he went
to he got a Job—a salesman in
Belk's department store. Jim puts
this as the most interesting thing
he did during the holidays. — he
met niany people from school do
ing their shaping, so he found out
what a lot of people were going to

■1 have my roots in the Vos
ges Countfy, but 1 am pre-occu-
pied first of aU. and always with
what I want to be doing as a man,
seri’ing mankind."
These are the words of Aloej]
Schwfitier, seventy-nine year old
Alsatian, born humanitarian. He is
devoting his entire life to helping
others over the entire world.
Mr SchweiUer has a great mus
cular build, masterful nose, and
broad forehead. He has a large
humorous smile and wide deepset
eyes. Many have said that he fav
ored Josff Stalin-or did until Sta
lin reduced his mustache.
At thirty, Albert SchweiUer held
in his hands most of what men
give their lives for, and occasion-
aUy their souls: the security of a
government position, for life, in one
of the most attracUve universities
in Europe; a growing reputaUon
as a scholar and as a musician;
the dehght of teaching and preach
ing what he deeply believed; and
the promise of world fame. But
one chilly day, with the leavej
falling about him, he put It all
aside to become a doctor among
the savages of Central Africa. He
had hearf of the wretchednesi of
the jungle peoples, the native di
seases and the plagues brought by
European Slave dealers and trad
ers.
Schweitzer felt that he could not
live with himself if he did not go
out to help these tortured black
people. He wouJd repay the debt
even if it meant giving his life
in doing so. However Albert Sch
weitzer did not die, and he has
continued to devote his entire life
to the Service of Mankind.
Recently, the Nobel Committee
announced the winner of the 1952
Nobel Prize for Peace. Mr. Sch
weitzer was awarded this prize of
some $33,000,

A REPORT ON SOME “OLD-TIMERS”
(Continued from Page One)
“Kelly, what are your plans for this summer as well
as the future?”
“After frraduation in June, I hope to get some kind of
job here in Wilson until Marge finishes summer school.
That is, if Dear Ole’ Uncle Sam doesn’t get me. I plan
to go into coaching in the future and to also work on my
Masters in Physical Education.”
“How do you two find time as well as money to go
out? 1 mean like going to a movie.”
'We don’t go out to a movie every night like we did
when we were dating. We just don’t seem to care to go.
We usually have studying or house cleaning to do at night,
and al.so we have to watch the budget”
“Richard, I don’t know about Marge, but I get more
studying done since I’ve gotten married. You know how
it is. You don’t have your mind wondering what your girl
friend might be doing.”
“I know I get more studying done! Richard, I wish
you would add this to your notes. I think the college
should have apartments for married couples. Honestly,
where we are living, we walk as well as run ourselves to
death.”
“Well, Marge and Kelly, I hope I haven’t taken too
much of your time. I know you must have a thousand and
one things to do. But before I leave, I want to ask you
one more question. What’s your final word to those who
can’t make up their mind as to marrying while in college?”
“Richard, we both say; Go ahead; you don’t lose a
thing. Really, each gains a great deal. They gain each
other. Another thing, you just go on. living a normal life—
no worries, just responsibilities. For those who can, we
advise them to try it. There’s nothing else like it!”
