Clinton News-Record, 1953-07-23, Page 4!PAGE POUR 't^ , ( 1" • t T'rrei:e is still enought time left in the summer to read "Desired Haven", a new book about the sea and its people by E. M. Rich- ardson and published in Canada by Ryerson. It will not be the best book that you have read recently, but it is one of the better novels to be issued in Canada for several years, written as it is by a house- wife from the Bluenose country. Canadians should read "Desired :Haven" because it is the latest ad- dition to that sometimes mythical tradition called Canadian litera- ture. If we are ever to develop those isolated beginnings which came from such people as Stephen 'Leacock, we will have to 'read a good many books like "Desired Haven". Buy them and read them. Make a few hard-working Canad- ian writers successful with your purchases and the standard will go up just as surely as there are good authors in this country to write good books if they find it worth their while. Mrs. Richardson s book has won -the Ryerson Prize this year, and theree.*ras been no argument with the judges. "Desired Haven" is about what its author knows best --the sea. She'was born on an island off the coast of`Nove Scotia, grew up in a fishing village, taught school, then married •Morrill Richardson in 1926, and together they raised three children and kept the light ori Bon Portage Island. (This was the subject of a previous book called "We Keep a Light"). The present book is partly ro- mance, partly tragedy, always with the smell of salt water and -the pleasant sight of full sails not very far away. The characteriza- tion of Capt, Sam Nibkerson and his daughter Mercy, who marries a cultured young man named Dan Redmond whom the captain brings into the story by pulling him out of a wreck, could only have been accomplished by one who knows -the nature of seafolk. The situa- tions which occur in this pleasing -tale are powerful, though rather thinly portrayed. From a sheer critical point of -view I might say many things a- bout the book -as a reviewer can say about Kenneth Roberts or --Iugh MacLennan or Gabrielle 'Roy. Mrs. Richardson often re- quires her reader to take too much for granted and misses an excel- lent opportunity to make the emo- tions of her characters more con- vincing by delineating character, She describes very entertainingly •the culmination of a love affair, ',but she neglects its beginning, and -the beginning after all is the fine -thing about a new love, But that is all unnecessary .here. "Desired Haven" is a splen- did glimpse of maritime Caned - lane, and those who trouble to :read it will look to the mistress of that light on Bon Portage for something more. k * The disc -jockeys have • played 'a great many of Hank Williams' re- cordings since the cowboy and hillbolly balladeer died earlier in the year at the age of 29. It gives us an opportunity to assess his kind of music and to determine ;j'ust what kind of contribution it as making to culture.

But there is no way to avoid the curious truth that millions of, people on this continent who sent "The Old Chisholm Trail", "The Little Red, Caboose", and "Red River Valley" on to immortality still want the earthy, sentimental lyrics that Hank Williams wrote and sang so often. Only a few of these songs are really folk songs, but those that are will not soon be got rid of. They have a particular appeal to Canadians. Evelyn Duncanson, Earle Spicer, Giselle MacKenzie aced Edward Johnson may have proven the aptitudes of Canadian singers in the United States, but it is likely that their fellow -Canad- ians, Wilf Carter and Hank Snow will touch a' more tender chord for a much longer time in the hearts of Canada's masses, If Hank Williams can be replac- ed in Canada it will probably fall to Hank Snow, a Nova Scotian hillbilly. He had his share of hard knocks in his early days. Born in 1914, be was on his own by the time he was 14. First he went to sea, and although Hank has been able to "earn his salt" too, it was with the $5,95 he earned by un- loading salt from a freighter that he bought his first guitar. Like many other boys, Hank idolized old-time movie star Tom Mix, and although Tom wasn't one of the singing cowboys, Hank managed to make a radio debut in 1934. Two years later he signed an RCA Victor contract, and this ended a series of odd jobs --includ- ing work in a fish -packinghouse, as a stevedore, a lobster peddler and an insurance saleman-which had made up his previous career. * * * The grim reaper has recently CL. ;ZN'ION NEWS-IV:CORD Bish�p Opens hurch (am Huron Church Oatop Dedicated The Right Reverend G.

Needlecraft News c- r - by Pau, e Roy HAVE YOU EVER TRIED malting tiny garments for a baby? If you haven't, you can't possibly realize the fun you are missing. Many women derive so much satisfaction from this fascinating work that they are con- tinually making them up for new arrivals among family and friends, or for gifts to charity organizations. The dainty articles are small and can be easily tucked into a bag to be produced as pick-up work for leisure moments. The reward for your accomplishment is com- plete whenever you see a tiny pink and white infant wearing your handmade creation, Wool For Baby's Comfort Woollen garments are favour- ites for cozy comfort, warmth and style. Best patterns to choose when making sets for babies are those that are not restricted around the neck and shoulders thus giving the infant Naw : plenty of freedom to move and ; grow. Wool is especially designed for baby garments, that is soft, light weight and comes in a wide range of lovely delicate colours as well as in a pretty yarn with the added glimmer of a thread of silk. Baby wool is treated for shrink and stretch resistance so that with careful handling, the little garments may be washed over and over again. Natural yarns manu- factured from lamb's wool are best for infants' and children's wear for they produce a fabric that adjusts more readily to body temperature keeping the little ones warm when it is cold and comfortable when it is hot. service commenced with the sing- ing of "Lovely Shepherd of Thy Sheep" and after the dedication and prayers the closing hymn was "When Mothers of Salem". Elis Lordship spoke informally to the children stressing the im- portance of recreation and pointed out that it wasn't only the solemn things that should be blessed, but fun and laughter have their place in 'religion too. Dr. E. A. McMaster, responded, to the thanks expressed by beth the dean and Bishop Luxton for all he had done for the camp. (It was through the generosity of Dr, E. A, McMaster and Thomas Jack- son, Seaforth, that the recreation- al hall recently was built.) At the close of the service his Lordship shook hands with each child and delighted a small patient in the hospital by visiting her.
