Good hammock reading for hot days ahead. That means a little on the light side, if you please. Pauses should not be for trying to fathom the deeper meaning you suspect in a passage but for just idly day-dreaming or taking a sip of lemonade beside you. A ham mock, a tall frosty glass with a straw, and a rousing good book in your limp hand,—it’s the perfect recipe for summer. So here are a few suggestions for books that seem to go with temperatures in the 90s. THE HIDDEN FLOWiER, by Pearl Buck, John Day, $3.50. This bock is pleasant reading. It has definite implications of so cial significance but Mrs. Buck doesn’t hit you over the head with them. Much later,—next fall, per haps, when the weather is more conducive to serious thinking,— you’ll mull them over again. At least I couldn’t forget the prob lem of racial intolerance this story poses. After living for' a few hours with pretty Japanese Josui and the young American lieutenant who- falls in love with her, you can’t help being deeply moved by the outcome. They marry over the objections of both sets of parents. Josui’s parents re lent although her father’s heart is broken, for he knows better than she what difficulties are in volved. Allen’s mother proves obdurate, however, and will not even re ceive her new daughter-in-law. She manages to turn up evidence that they are not legally married, since a Buddhist ceremony is not binding in the U. S., and Allen cannot remarry Josui in Virginia on account of an old law forbid ding marriage between the races. The young couple try the anonymity of life in New York, but Allen hasn’t the essential in tegrity to stick it out. In a city apartment Josui hasn’t the glamor of an ancient culture which he sensed in Kyoto. He drifts back home, so lacking in empathy that he doesn’t realize he has fathered a child. Josui has too much in nate self-respect to force on him a responsibility she knows he is too weak to welcome. The “world child’’ born of this blind union of East and 'West is the star in the sky of the future, harbinger of a better day when we world-people may understand each other better. In short, in spite of our sorry mistakes and inade quacies, life goes on and we can not thwart its larger thrusts to ward growth and improvement. That is what Mrs. Buck seems to be telling us in a singularly mov ing, eloquent way. LOVE IS A WOUND, by Worth Tuttle Hedden, Crown Publishers, $3.75. Southern stories always have a charm all their own, flavored by the mimosa trees and sleepy drawl of the conversation. So I’ve included this one in our list, even though it is grim at times. Here’s a domestic triangle that will grip you. There’s a young Methodist preacher, David Humiston, and two sisters. Ora and Ellen, both of whom are interested in more than his ability to preach a rous ing sermon. Each of the three pro tagonists of this battle in the par sonage tells a portion of it. EUen gets the minister because she is younger and prettier. But Ora never calls quits. She moves in and takes over the establishment, acting as if David and the chil dren were hers. Mrs. Hedden makes everything that happens seem believable, and the reader can’t help sympathizing .with the problems of these weak but en tirely human personalities who get caught in the web of their own frailities. It’s an intensely penetrating study of human na ture at its best and worst. Ora’s love is a wound that never heals. One suspects that it was really self-love,—that ugly, festering sore,—^which proved to be the un doing of what might otherwise have been a happy family. At least you won’t go to sleep while reading this tale, thangs to Mrs. Hedden’s witchery in the telling of it. She’s a North Carolina woman by birthright and hasn’t forgotten any of the childhood memories that make this book au thentic as a picture of the South several decades ago. EAST SIDE GENERAL, by Frank G. Slaughter, Doubleday, $3.50. Here’s a rousing good hospital story if you like the drama of what goes on in the struggle be tween life and death as much as I do. We are all pretty naturally curious about glimpses behind the scenes, into a doctor’s contacts with suffering and life in the raw. Here it is at its rawest, too! At any moment the whole of Man- hatten may be blown to Kingdom Come by the explosion of radio active chemicals, stolen from Oak Ridge and lodged in the brewery next door to the hospital. Mean time two surgeons are fighting a battle with themselves. Should they let the women in their lives corrupt their ideals and make life easier for them? You might almost be viewing sonSe of the operations that take place by tel evision, so vividly are they re corded by this author who him self is a doctor. The whole hospi tal is about to go up in smoke during the, last one and not for anything would I disclose what happens. It’s unfair to authors who hope you will buy their books! It’s equally unfair to read ers on a summer day. This one will keep you awake long enough to find out for yourself. And you won’t be disappointed in the outcome any more than Andy Gray, surgeon extraordinary, was. After all, we expect medicine to triumph in the end! Local, County Students Win Degrees At Commencements Held Far And Near CEPHAS TAYLOR PATCH III, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S.
