His story is more patently dra matic than the story of Everest (partly because he is telling just one story in which he was a leading fi gure; partly because of the nature of the man himself), His efforts to tell his tale by means of reported conver-, sation can be a bit wearisome in the first part of the book, but there is nothing wearisome about this kind of writing in the last hundred pages. Here the excitement Hertzog feels on reaching the summit is shared by the reader in a way that it never is in EVEREST, and the story of the de scent from the summit is one of the most fascinating and terrifying things we have read in some time. The des cription of his sufferings as the ex-' pedition’s doctor gave him arterial in jections to counteract the effects of frostbite and to prevent amputation made us almost physically sick.

This Year We Will Celebrate Wingham's 75th Birthday I Plans are already under way for a suitable celebration to mark the 75th anniversary' of Wingham’s incorporation as a town. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, July 31, August 1 and 2 have been selected as the dates of the event. ' Many fine suggestions have already been offered about the program for the three days—but we want more ideas. You may have a suggestion which will be really worthwhile . . . one that will assist us to put on the best event in Wingham’s history. If you have, we would sure like to know about it. HERE’S WHAT WE ASK—Think the thing over for a few days—and as soon as you have some ideas on the matter, jot them down (so you won’t lose or forget them) and mail or leave them at the Advance-Times office. You may be able to dream up an entire three-day program, or you may think of only one or two features which you feel should be included in the program. Either will be very wel come. But PLEASE—do something about it. Make sure' that your suggestions reach us not later than March 15—and before that if, at all possible. The Business Association is most anxious to make this birth day event a memorable one. We want it to be successful and enjoyable^in every way. WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN DO IT. X Wingham Business Association Mountain Climbers *At the library recently we picked up two books about mountain climb ing, THE STORY OF EVEREST and ANNAPURNA. Before reading them we had never given much thought to mountain climbing, but it will be a long time before' we forget certain parts of these books, especially the middle chapters of EVEREST and the last hundred pages of ANNAPURNA. THE STORY OF EVEREST, writ ten by E. L. Murray, is illustrated with fifteen maps and diagrams by Robert Anderson,- and has twenty-four pages of photographs. It is a new edition of a previously published book and in cludes the story of the 1953 British expedition under Sir John Hunt when E. P. Hillary and the Nepalese Sherpa, Tensing, were first to reach the sum mit. The book begins with a history of mountain climbing as a sport (it started in 1854; the Alpine Club was formed in 1857), explains the difficul ties of getting official permission to pass through Tibet or Nepal to the mountains, goes on to describe the attempts made in the 1920’s and 1930’s to reach the summit from the Tibetan approaches,, and ends with an account of the successful assault from the Nepalese side in 1953. The reader unfamiliar with moun tain terminology is helped along by explanations of terms and > by the many excellent maps, diagrams and photography; and if he reads slowly and carefully at first ‘with many re ferences to the illustrative mat^rlSl, he will soon find the book easy going. All the difficulties of mountain climb ing are explained' and exemplified, the lack of oxygen at great heights, the fatigue resulting from lower level exertions, the uncertainties of the weather, the problem of having the right man in the right place at the right time, the refusal of porters to go beyond certain points. It is in its accounts of the expedi tions of the early 1920’s that the book is most exciting, though the excite ment is dulled by the death" of Mallory and Irvine, two outstanding members of the 1924 expedition. What the author says about their death is ap parently what all mountain climbers feel. “Men will live in vain if they allow the spirit of adventure to die in their souls. For such there can be no more progress in penetrating the strongholds of nature and of the Spirit; they will live like fat cattle and die no better.” After the description of these ear lier attempts, the story of the success ful ascent in 1953 comes as some thing of an anti-climax. Perhaps it fails to fit properly into the general scheme of the book because it was added to an already published story. z 0-0-0 X Mount Everest is over 29,000 feet high; Annapurna, which is also in the Himalayas, is 26,493 feet. But Anna purna was conquered first—in 1950 by a group of Frenchmen. And the book ANNAPURNA is the story, not of a number of mountain climbing expe- 4 0-0-0 Both of these books make exciting reading. ANNAPURNA is more per sonal and more dramatic?, but it con tains no phony'heroics; THE STORY OF EVEREST leaves us to read more between the lines, but there is no selfr conscious use of the understatement.

In THE STORY OF EVEREST, E. T. Murray writes: “The true value of these expeditions will not be found at any moment of victory, nor do the attempts on Ever est serve a useful purpose in any ma terial sense. While recognizing these facts, men simultaneously and almost universally recognize and honor the greatness of adventure. It is indeed for striving and exploring and dis covering that we are all made”. In ANNAPURNA, Herzog, after much suffering and the amputation of fingers and toes, writes from a hospi tal. bed: "For us the mountains had been a natural field of activity where, playing on the frontiers of life and death, which which bread. gone empty-handed, was a treasure on which we should live the rest of our days. With this realization we turn the page: a nefo life begins. “There are other Annapurnas in the lives of men. Twenty ladies were in attendance at the February meeting of the WMS and the WA held at the home of Mrs. E. W. Rice on Wednesday afternoon. The president, Mrs. W. I. Miller, was in the chair for the WMS, the theme of which worship service was “The Church of the Open Book”. Mrs. Ross Errington read the Scripture lesson, Mrs. D. C. McDonald the confession, and Mrs; John Cameron led in prayer. The topic “The Ministry of Radio in South America” proved very in teresting, given in dialogue form by Miss W. D. Rutherford, takng the part of an elderly missionary, Mrs. Alex Purvis, that of a young mission ary and Mrs. Lome Woods and Mrs. E. W. Rice as script writers for a radio program. It was announced that the Day of Prayer would be observed on Friday, March 4th, at the home of Mrs. Rob inson Woods. Mrs. Charles McDonald presided for the meeting of the WA, which opened with the theme song, prayer and the creed. Mrs. Allan Miller read the Scripture lesson and Mrs. Alex Murdie read the lesson thoughts. It was de cided to hold a work meeting at the home of Miss Rutherford on Wednes day, March 10. At the conclusion a social hour was enjoyed when lunch was served with Mrs. , W. I. Miller and Mrs. Lome Woods as hostess. ■ ■ r ■ ■ *1 Schuett’s Mildinay Also dozens of others Commode and End Tables -Lamp and Drum Tables Step and Nest Tables ■Console and Tier Tables -Cocktail and Coffee Tables Extension Dinette Tables All sold by ■ 1 J.
