Patterson 725-321 Book Club of ToeJay reviews 'Common Grountj' at meeting The Book Club of Today met recently at the home of Ruth Boone with Catherine Simmons presiding. Other hostesses were Ivye McDaniel and Broimie Daniels. Evelyn Sellers led the devotional period with a reading from Patri cia Lorenzo in "Daily Guidepost," which discussed the idea that "we can be what we want to be." After a fellowship hour and a brief business session, Mrs. Boone reviewed the book, "Com mon Ground," by J. Anthony Lucas. The story is set in Boston during the decade of the civil rights movement and it details the lives of three very different fami lies, one Yankee Protestant, one Irish Catholic and one black Methodist. The three families did not consider themselves preju diced, but as the story reveals the life of each member of each fami ly, it becomes obvious that all are prejudiced and that the children absorb the ideas and prejudices of their adult relatives. Mrs. Boone said that the book is somewhat difficult to read because of the large number of characters and the numerous threads of the plot. She recom mended that it be read in a leisurely fashion. Other members attending the club meeting were Modesta Earl, Emmalene Goodwin, Annie Hairston, Maybelle Hedgley, Annie Kennedy, Wilma Lassiter, Barbara Phillips, Louise Smith and Marian Wooten. L.E.
