New Book
By Callahan
Oft Presses
A new book. "FLIGHT FORM
THE REPUBLIC: The Tories of the
American Revolution”, by North
Callahan, who writes the New
York column for this newspaper,
has Just been published by The
Bobbs-Merrill Company. This is
the second volume on this sub
ject by Mr. Callahan, the first
being "ROYAL RAIDERS” which
was published by the same com
pany three years ago and was
hailed as an important and ex
citing work by reviewers.
The Tories, or Loyalists as they
are also called, have been neg
lected in American history and
it Is this gap which North Calla
han a professor of history at New
York University, aims to fill. Au
thorities on early American his
tory say that he has been success
ful and that the printed results,
as shown in his books, are enter
taining to read as well as schol
arly. "Once I started reading
"FLIGHT FROM THE REPUBLIC”,
said the eminent historian Law
rence Henry Gipson, “I had to
continue it.”
The new book tells of some
100,000 Americans who remained
loyal to the British Crown during
the War for Independence and
who became exiles in Canada,
Great Britain and the West In
dies. They lost the war and had
to leave, and their exodus makes
a moving, sad and suspenseful
story of people uprooted from
their homes. Some had time only
to grab their children and clothes
before fleeing from the victorious
American patriots. Settling in a
strange land under harsh condi
tions was a thrilling adventure
as fascinating as a novel. The
book includes a new account of
the turn-coat, Benedict Arnold,
and how he carried on his tem
pestuous life in Canada after the
war. The maternal ancestor of
Charles A. Lindbergh was a Tory
with a rousing story that reads
like fiction.
North Callahan found his news
paper experience helpful in dig
ging into old records and Inter
viewing descendants from Hali
fax to Antigua, from Scotland to
southern England. As a result, his
new volume contains many zest
ful quotes from hitherto unpub
lished diaries and documents.

Should Discuss
Family Matters
RALEIGH — Husbands and
wives who take the time to dis
cuss what happens to them each
day have more satisfactory mar
riages and less emotional adjust
ments than do couples (who sel
dom, if ever, bother to share
their experiences.
That reminder comes from Leo
F\ Hawkins, extension family re
lations specialist, North Carolina
State University.
Hawkins notes that “in the
past, or in the father-dominated
family, the ideal wife was one
who coped with her own wor
ries.” She believed her husband
was too busy to be worried with
her small troubles. In this same
type famHy, the husband felt his
wife did not have the intellec
tual capacity or the emotional
stability to listen to his troubles.
Thus, each person (went his own
way, receiving little emotional
support from the other.
“This situation is changing,”
Hawkins believes. A research
study, involving 909 couples in
the Detroit area, indicates that
marriage can provide a lifetime
of help, as needed, if husbands
and wives learn to share their
daily experiences with each oth

Legem Finishes
Naval School
NEWPORT, R. I. (FHTNC) —
Cammissaryman Second Class
Matron D. Legan, USN, son of
Mrs. Mary C. Legan of 21 Elm
St, Kings Mountain, N. C.f was.
graduated from the Commissary
man - Steward School, Naval
Schools Command Newport, R. I.
The 14-week course of instruc
tion was designed to provide ad
vanced training in the preparing
and serving of food.
Students at the school were
taught how to plan a menu that
provides a well-balanced meal.
They were also introduced to.
the paper-work that is involved
in a Navy supply department;
how to order provisions and
figure costs.
Finally,, they were taught the
safety procedures used in Navy
galleys and bake shops.
The same study showed that
wives of high status husbands
were more apt to share their
troubles than were the wives of
low status husbands. Couples In
a democratic type family shared
their troubles more often than
did couples in a father-dominated
or mother-dominated family.
Surprising to some people, in
teraction or sharing of troubles
not only declines with the com
ing of children; it is least aboyt
the time the children are finish
ing college. “It appears the shar
ing of troubles declines as the
family cycle igoes on,” Hawkins
said.
Wives who very seldom share
their troubles with their husbands
said they received no sympathy
or help when they did try to talk
to them. However, women who
discussed their home problems
each day, usually got sympathy
and advice from their husbands.
The study shows that criticism
and rejection are the responses
that help the least. "One would
expect that,” Hawkins observed.
Women with husbands much
younger than they were received
the least sympathy and help,
Hawkins added.
In summarizing the Detroit
study, Hawkins said, "talking
things over with each other daily
is an important Junction of mar
riage. Even though relatively fc L
couples make the best use of tl "
kind of therapy—that is listen
ing, understanding and really
making an attempt to help each
other; this function has vast pos
sibilities for good within mar
riage and the family.
"The study shows not one dis
appointing marriage among those
who made good use of sharing
what has happened to them on a
daily basis," he concluded.

Correct information is invaluable to a free people and for keep
ing a free people free.
Few other nations of the world are as fortunate as the United
States, which, through the wisdom of their forefathers, is le
gatee of a heritage of freedom of speech, of assembly, of re
ligious worship, and of the press.
Maintaining of these freedoms has not always been easy, but
they have nevertheless been maintained through the years.
A free press is the cornerstone of the others. Without the disse
mination of the news—factual information gathered by train
ed professional newsmen — the other freedoms would soon be
abrogated in practice, if not in the text of the United States
Constitution.
