"Pm MOM" (tlY '11140fluts Uaddall) Recently i i a h MacLennan sounded off about the decline of the Canadian novel. It may be that my tastes in reading are more. naive and my discrimination of a different standard than that of the critic, because I think that Canadian writers ere doing very well, Raddell'a story is set in Neva Scotia in the years follow- ing the second World War, Neil Jamieson had an unhappy child- hood; his mother ran away from home when he was a baby; his father -laved him but lacked the fortitude to stand up to his moth, er; his grandmother was stern and remote, The 1939 war provided Neil with the opportunity to leave home. During his imprisonment, in POW camp, he caught up with his studies. After his discharge he enrolled in a course in forestry at the University of New Brunswick, Still not ready to return home he spends five years' in the., pulp camps of Ontario, At last he feels compelled to return to his old 'home does not even know whether his grandmother is alive. He finds her in the old home. liv- ing in, utter poverty, His grand- mother tries to explain the sale of the antique furniture and the woodlots, Neil is not satisfied in his mind about the sale of the land and visits the recorder's ofifce to check the deeds. He does , more 'than this, he goes on a fishing trip up the river to make a private in- spection. On his return he con- fronts the buyer with charges of defrauding his grandmother and from that time events move swift- iy to the conclusion of the story. BLOMIDON ROSE (By Esther Clark Wright) A great deal of loving research has gone into the making of this book. To those who know and love the Nova Scotian history and countryside, it will be like meet- ing old friends. This book be- longs to tile type that one . does not rush through but reads in happy snatches. The author tak- es us by foot and by ear through the highways and byways, espec- ially the byways, of the Annapolis Valley. There is a wealth of de- tail in the description of the phys- ical beauty and historical events but it is written so charmingly that the reader is conscious only of sharing the Valley with the auth- or. It As about 25 years since this reader had the happy fortune to travel through a part of the Val- ley and the description of the view from the Lookaoff recalled the memory of the Gaspereda Valley in. all its autumn loveliness. A de- lightful book for reading on cold winter evenings. IVIeBAIN'S BRIER ROSE (By Helen Dickson Reynolds) Like many couples, Major and Mrs. Palmer enjoyed, working in the garden until too many jobs needed their immediate attention. On one such' days, Mrs, Palmer rose from the back-breaking job of pruning the roses and said aud- ibly "I wish we had a gardener," In no time at all McBain in- stalled himself in the garden, which flourished as never before, in spite of the open hostility be- tween McBain and Mrs. Palmer over the suitability ,of certain plants. McBain had' strong likes and dislikes among the flowers as had Mrs. Palmer who felt she had the right to choose, because it was her garden. Oh yes, the title-McBain, a dour bachelor of Scots blood, re- ceives a cutting of the brier rose from his home in Scotland, and having no place to plant it, plants it by the gatehouse. The brier rose thrives as do all the plaets and flowers in the garden, There are times when Mrs, Palmer wish- es she had net wished foe a gar- dener but there was.no'' discour- aging IVIC,Bain, This is a 'happy book by a Can- adian author, one of whose recent books was "Perilous' Prairie," a story of pioneer clays in Saskatch- ewan, for the teen-aged reader, WEDDING Flynn-Vantio,rne (By cur Hensall Correspondent) A pretty but quiet wedding was solemnized at the Hensall United Church manse, on March 8, when Mary Anne Van Borne, and Ger- ald Laverne Flynn exchanged mar- ridge vows before the Rev.
