It is a once-a-year thrill, the
event, to which summer work
all over the valley is pointed.

than once Emmeline has set
aside samples from a near-per-
feet batch of jelly or• a jar of,
tempting green, and red pepper
relish with the observation,
"Good for the, threahers this, will
be."
Exciting as it is to watch, the
work of threshing is grueling
for the men. Fierce heat and bil-
lowing chaff combine to make
it almost unbearable inathe mid-
dle of the day, So the big noon
meal is a welcome respite as
well as a -richly deserved feast.
But even the s busy women
must watch the work get ender
way that first morning. There
is drama in threshing not fotind
anywhere else. Eli and the other
strong young., pitchers dig their
fork tines deep into the bun-
dles of ricked-up grain. A
mighty toss and the stacks
quiver as they ride the belt. up
the side. A moment'and then the
engine begins to putt clouds of
dark smoke that blow high, overa
the stubble; the separator howls,
and bundles, half-turning in the
air, fall into the feeder and head

We linger a moment to listen
to the chuck-a-chuck of the ex-
haust and smell the unusual
odor of burnt straw and steam,
then turn kitchenward to start
our own labate, knowing we are
at last deep threshing again.
Bayard Taylor has written of
one group of the Plain People:
. "Orderly, moral are they ...
Given to preaching of rules,
inflexible outlines of duty.
Seeing the sternness of life,
but alas!
Overlooking its graces."
The last line could never be
truthfully applied to Eli's Trina.
She overlooks none of the
graces of living, and her pres-
ence is always a joy.,

During, this era, Mrs, Duffy
has witnessed 'the slow march
of penology toward today's mo-
dern rehabilitative mein:els --
as the older and long-Used sys-
tems of physical sand mental
torture gave way. It is often,
by -its nature, not a pleasant
story. But Mrs. Duffy's book,
"Warden's, Wife," shows her
deep-felt zest, for prison work
and her devotion to change in
penal methods.
The Culminetion of this
change came just before World
War II when.' her' husband be-
came warden Of San Quentin e-,
to serve in that role- through
turbulent war-years anclan even
more disturbing postwar period.
But it was during these 11 years
that innovations in San Quen-
tin's.penal system `sharply alter-
ed the institution's handling of
inmates. Ugly; aspects esfeprissen
life were renewed,. rehabilitae
tion of prisoners became the
keynote Of the system, and a
variety of pieneering and dar-
ing ventures: paid off in less pri-4
son trouble and better parole
-records. ,
• The innovations ,ran the ga-
mut front adequate food to esta-

Warden Ducey said, wtld in-
voke a sense of responsibility on
the part of these inmates. It
worked' at San Qnentin, and the
idea is slowly being accepted
across the United States.
All of this is a part of Mrs,
Duffy's simply told story. In a.
reaFsense, "Warden's Wife" is
more than a personal account
of the long-held dream she and
her husband 'shared — a &earn**
of doing something to reform
prisms •methods at San Quentin.
The book serves as an Informal
history of San Quentin during
the 50 years about which Mrs.
Dully 'writes with intimate
knowledge.
Acroas her pages march a
cross section of San Quentin's
population. In illustrating vari-
ous aspects of her life at Sah
Quentin, Mrs. Duffy tells much
about the inmates 'with whom

the main reason for its retention
is "a punitive desire for re-
