(I hr Zxlmlnn <Rrrnrh VOLUME XV THIS, THAT, & j __ j i I have just finished reading “A Southerner Discovers The South”, by Jonathan Daniels. It took much more time than I usually give to a book, and now that it is finished I have not decided whether I en joyed the reading. Nor am I sure Mr. Daniels enjoyed the writing, though it is done very well indeed. He waves no magnolia blossoms, permits few jasmines, either cape or Confederate to scent his pages. He is at times painfully realistic; though I failed to discover the “coarse vulgarity” which I had been told smutted portions of the volume. Perhaps I have become less easily shocked than when younger. Toward the last I kept hoping some plan might be offered for the economic redemption of the South; but believe the author is right in saying “But planning in the South must begin at the bottom where so many of its people are. There is no handle on its top by which it can be lifted. ... in the South the ty rants and the plutocrats and the poor all need teaching . . . All are in the warm dark, and whether they like it or not—white man, black man, big man—they are in the dark together. None of them will ever get to day alone.” God grant we get there together!

Saturday was freezing cold and snow began falling in the after noon, reaching a depth of four inches before night. snow flakes were large and wet, cling ing to trees and shrubs, in some cases causing large branches to break. Sunday was cold with a few flakes of snow falling in the af ternoon, but by Monday at noon most of what snow was left had been reduced to dirty ice on pave ments. Seldom has been seen such an abrupt and complete transition from the warmth of fall with flowers blooming, to the cold and ice of winter with all tender veg etation wilted and black.
