It is a long story because it deals with a long and brutal battle, the worst of any war, It has two ships because one was sunk and had to be replaced. It has a hundred and fifty men be- cause that is a manageable number of people to tell a story about. Above, all, it is a true story because that is the only kind' worth telling, First the ocean, the steep Atlantic stream. The map will tell you what that looks like; threecornered, three thousand miles across and a thousand fathoms deep, bounded by the Europ- ean coastline and half of Africa and the vast American continent on the other side; open at the top like a champagne glass, and at the bottom like a municipal rubbish-dumper. What the map will not tell is the strength and fury of the ocean ,its moods, its violence ,its gentle balm, its treachery; what men can do with it, and what it can do with men. But this story will tell you all that, Then the ship, the first of the two, the doomed one. At the moment she seems far from doomed; she is new, untried ,lying in a river that lacks the tang of salt water, waiting for the men to man her. She is a corvette, a new type of escort ship, an experi- ment designed to meet a desperate situation still over the horizon. She is brand new; the time is November 1939; her name is H.M.S, Compass Rose. Lastly, the men, the hundred and fifty men, They come onto the stage in twos and threes; some are early, some are late, some, like this pretty ship are doomed. When they are as- sembled, they are a company of sail- ors. They have women, at least a hun- dred and fifty women, loving them, or tied to them, or glad to see the last of them as they go to war. But the men are the stars of this story .The only heroines are the ships: and the only villian the cruel sea it- self. THE BLESSING by Nancy Mitford "The Blessing is an unmixed one, gay without triviality, funny without laboriousness, and candid without coarseness. Grace, Allingham, the beautiful blonde daughter of a dis- tinguished member of Parliament, falls deeply in lov,e with the Marquis Charles Edouard de Valhubert. Char- les-Edouard, tall,—dafk, elegant and a war hero,, has 'an eye for all beauti- ful things, from pictures to women. He has n6' difficult* in disengaging the bnatteous Grace from a hand- some but dull Englishman; marries her; leaves her for a period while he is in war service;' returns to greet his small son, Sigistriond (the "bless- ing"); and carries his family off; first to the ancestral estate in Pro- vence, then to the ancestral mansion in Paris, The fun lies ,of .'course, in the contrast between Grace's con- servative moral universe and that of the continental Charles-Edouard. The rock on which they split, natur- ally, is their differing view of the nature and importance of infidelity. This somewhat risky subject is hand- led by Miss Mitford with a frankness that is never offensive, because the peccadilloes of Charles-Edouard are described with such outrageous com- icality and charm. "The Blessing is an extraordinary combination of satire and high jinks, Miss Mitford is out to have as much fun as possible ,and to extract from the spectacle of impropriety as much comedy as the traffic will bear." THE ROAD TO BITilYNIA by Frank G. Slaughter (A novel of Luke, the beloved phy- sician.) - Set against a brilliant, barbaric panorama of the Middle East in the years immediately following the Crucifixion, the dramatic story of Luke, biblical physician and chron- icler of the life of Christ, forms a novel of raging emotions iterwoven with deep religious feeling. It is the story of Luke's search for peace in a tempestuous age and of the many fascinating figures he meets in this quest: sturdy, humble Peter, Jesus' chosen representative; Herod, licentious and treacherous King of the Jews; and strange, fiery Paul, most zealous missionary of the New Gospel. He witnesses the trial and stoning of Stephen in Jerusalem; orgiastic sacrifices to the bull god Mithras in Antioch; blood curdling arena spectacles in Caesarea. He studies medicine at the charlatan Temple of Askleplos in Pergamum and marches with the Roman legions against the rebellious Paphiagoni- ans. As a doctor and companion to Paul, the travels through the major cities of the biblical world, and in sharp contrast to the violence which continuously surrounds the early Christians is the tender love story of Luke and the beautiful Thecia, one of Paul's followers, The Road To Bithynia may be called a fictional biography, It may be classed as a realistic adventure story, or an authentic, credible, romantic history of a biblical age, But, above all, it is a sincere re-ligious noVel, 'of A. scientist who leSes his skepticism by finding peace in the teachings of Jesus. In spite of the numerous blizzards through the week, Christmas Day was fine and the snow plows did a grand job of opening up the roads and though in many cases Dobbin had to be called into service to trans- port the holiday rocks up the lanes, yet almost all celebrations could be carried out as planned and everyone was happy.

The recitations and solos were well done and the comic numbers were good, but Chappy Miller as master of ceremonies in the dialogue "Pumpkinville Christmas concert", and a clown drill by the tiny tots, really brought down the house, In each case Santa arrived' in due time and made all happy with his treats.
