(SEAL) . . . .Rebecca W. Winslow Notary Public
By ROBERT G. MULDER
"Ring out the old, ring in the new;- We hope this never
nappens to you:" While taking a short, leisurely trip over
the holidays, you realize that your fuel supply is low and you
wish to add a little to your draining tank just in case. You
pull into a "service station" fifty miles away from home
("Filling stations" seem to be a thing of the past.) and read
the locally hand-scrawled announcement: "We have just
enough gas to service our regular customers sorry!"
What's a person to do? Unless he's a salesman or a
professional traveler, he can't be a regular customer up and
down the highways. The solution seems to be simple stay
at home or carry your gas with you.
The marks of 1973 may remain with us for months to
come. '
In a recent column, I related the results of one book
editor's survey outside a bookstore in a large shopping
mall. The interviewer discovered that a large percentage of
the American public was not reading today.
On the other hand, Clifford Ridley of "The National
Observer" requested last fall that readers send in the titles
of three books they had enjoyed in 1973. Of course, those
who read the "Wide, Wide World of Books" from that
weekly would be readers extra-ordinaire. More than a
hundred responded giving a thin sampling of just what is
being read.
Obvious observation further revealed that nonfiction
was read about twice as much as fiction, a fact supported by
sales figures. Also it may come as a surprise to know that
women read about twice as much as men: There are cer
tainly those who give having more time as a reason for this,
though I doubt this myself . -
Though it shames me to admit this, I must say that only
one of the top five in this particular survey was known to
me. Ridley lists the five most widely read books as being All
Creatures Great and Small, The Best and the Brightest, The
Hiding Place, The Making of a Psychiatrist, and Sex After
the Sexual Revolution.
For our readers I can recommend most highly the first
on Ridley's list. All Creatures Great and Small by James
Herriot (available in paperback) contains
the memoirs of an English veterinarian. Every
person, it seems to me, who has any respect for animals
would find this book a very readable account of one man's
love for healing and understanding.
Space does not afford an opportunity to review at length
many of the books which have interested me in 1973. I
should like, however, to offer a thumbnail sketch of a few
which rate highly on my own list.
The Lure of the Falcon by Gerald Summers is a
remarkable account of two of the most unusual POW's of all
times a young English soldier and his pet falcon. The
almost unbelievable story begins on Christmas Eve, 1942,
when Summers goes to war taking with him Cressida, a
small, fiercely independent kestrel falcon "whose queenly
presence helped to lift the spirits of Summers and his
comrads through bloody fighting, Afrika imprisonment,
and ultimately liberation in 1945.
Baby Boy by Jess Gregg recounts the experiences of an
orphan who is sent to a Florida prison for a crime he did not
commit. Here, however, he finds a real home indeed, so
much that he does not want to leave. When he is paroled
(much against his will), he manages to get himself sent
back on the inside, the only real security Baby Boy has
found. A humorous tale of life, this book is certain to find a
movie producer.
Ninety-Two in the Shade by Thomas McGuane tells the
story of Tom Skelton, a "member of that vast army of the
disillusioned," who returns to his Key West home and seeks
to establish himself as a fishing guide. His new adjustment
to home, family, and girl is solidly interrupted by a skillful
but reckless master guide-competitive. "
John Cheever, called by The Atlantic "one of our best
living writer of short stories," has given us a delightful
collection of episodes in The World of Apples. Like other
works by this author, "Apples" contains ten of his best
pieces dealing wth the frustrations and futilities of modern
-life."
The best motion picture of the year will soon be selected.
In order for a movie to be considered for the 1973 Academy
Awards, the film must appear in a theatre at least seven
days during a calendar year.
One of the main contenders this time is a film which
almost did not qualify, "The Exorcist." Now that director
William Friedkin managed to get this film in the running,
there seems little chance that "Last Tango in Paris" will
take top prize, as was predicted earlier in the fall.
At any rate "The Exorcist" may be filled with horror,
but I'll venture the sex and raunchy language does not equal
"Tango." . . ,
