their listers arrive here, they are
greeted by another and calmer
lady, nicknamed "Llbby". This
dignlfled greeter never gets ex
cited, even if a war Is on, for she
knows we always win. at least so
far, and most of our wars are for
her sake anyway. She resides on j
a special Island named Bedloe's

about the Statue of Liberty, New

ride an elevator up most of the

French people pitched in small ,
amounts of money to build her for
us. Then it took nine more years !
for us to raise the money to build
the pedestal?and a newspaper, the
New York World, led the way in
getting the funds.

Chatting with Wilma Dykeman
and her ,genial husband. James
Stokely, Jr., ! could see why she
has written such a delightful book.
It la "The FVench Broad" (Rhine
hart), one of the famous river se
riea, and deals with the pictur
esque part of Tennessee and North
Carolina along that interesting
stream. Wllma has given a rich
flavor to the volume which at
times approaches her ideal writer,
Thomas Wolfe. She and James
have a fine painting of Wolfe atop
what seems like thousands of
books in their Newport, Tennessee
home. In the volume, she tells
about a drummer?now they're
called salesmen?who was from the
North and said "The reason I came
South and did so well is because up
North people say, "What do you
know? Out West they say. What
can you do? and down South they
say, Come In!"
