This week four Juvenile books are reviewed. THE SUN HORSE by Catherine Anthony Clark Here once again is the fasbinating mixture of adventure, fantasy and Indian folk-lore that delighted thousands in The Golden Pine Cone. In this new story, two eleven-year- olds, Mark, an orphan living with rel- atives in the Kootenays in British Columbia, and Giselle, the French Canadian girl he meets at school, set out for Forgetful Valley, a mysterious place from which nobody ever returns. They hope to find Giselle's father who went looking for the magnificent Sun Horse. Their exciting adventures, the strange people they meet, the birds and animals, the Flame Lighter Woman and the Bat, and the superb illustrations by Clare Bice will thrill every boy and girl. THE GOLDEN PINE CONE by Catherine Anthony Clark Have you ever played in the woods and found a pine cone made of gold, a charm that set off a series of ad- ventures carrying you deep down to the under-water world, then into the land of the evil Indian giant? Have you ever been carried high in the air by a flight of talking Canadian geese, raced across country with a fast team of reindeer and finally reached the glorious land of the queen of the other world where you delivered her ear ring the golden pine cone? Then take up The Golden Pine Cone and wander through a land part real part strange like walking through a deep, lovely forest in a sleepy mist. A fresh, original tale with the incomparable pictures of Clare Bice to help you travel through this other enchanting world . . this story is distinctly Canadian, particularly British Columbian, written for the de- light of youngsters of all ages, ANGRY RIVER by Dickson Reynolds Spring came early near The River. Rains increased the heavy flood from melting snows, The huge waters of The River rose higher and higher within the dikes that held it from the reclaimed lands. All day long, people kept their radio on for the latest report of the River. Young Don Fairley, Pacific-North- west land owner and farmer at eigh- teen, lived with his mother well above the reclaimed land but The River threatened him, too, threatened more than his ripening strawberry crop, his cattle, his farm buildings, and his land; threatened his dream to become a veterinarian. When The River rose dangerously, there was no time to think of future hopes; Don worked night and day sandbagging the dikes, collecting spare sacks, piloting a yacht to the rescue of stranded people and trying to save his own crops and livestock. Where was Kwong, his trusted helper? Why did Kwong fore- sake them for fan-tan, and what was the secret of his shack? Surprisingly enough, it was The River that sup- plied the 'answer and unlocked the future. Angry River is the story of The River, and of all gallant folk who pit their strength against community disaster. It is the story of a young man's dreams and an old man's fears. Realistic and compelling in every de- tail, Angry River shows unforgettable struggles of people together against nature on the rampage, relates the heartwarming story of a young farm- ler-veterinarian starting life in the Pacific-Northwest. MYSTERY OVER THE BRICK WALL by Helen Fuller Orton A first-rate junior mystery about neighbours on either side of a forbid- ding brick wall, and all that happens when the newcomers, Lew and his sister Vi, begin to investigate. Of all the interesting things on the other side of the, wall, the big garden, the shuttered house, the kind old care- taker, the mysterious face at the window, the lonely little girl by the pool, the best is something that hap- pens the morning after the great storm. In this story Mrs. Orton adds to her list of fine mysteries one that has a new turn. It is not just a search for a precious lost object, but a mys- tery about a more important sort of loss, and there's very special satisfac- tion in its solving. This is an "easy to read" story in the best sense, written with artistry that is seemingly simple, but that is the result of this author's care and long experience in writing for child-, ren, expected to be able to do a day's work, let alone walk upright. Today, he has an office job, is self supporting, and he can get about remarkably well on crutches and with braces. He is one of the 52 lads who have been assisted in the two and a half years that Variety Village has been operating. Established by the Variety Club, whose members are chiefly showmen or in the entertainment field, the modern school, which has no equal in Ontario, was establsihed for the sole purpose of helping handi- capped youths, Twenty-seven are pre- sently enrolled from Toronto and other cities, towns and villages in the province, Three are city day pupils and the rest are in residence. Of the 27, nine are victims of polio, and are wheel chair patients. Another nine are afflicted with cerebral palsy. Three are paraplegics and six suffer from other types of deformities, Under the principalship of Bill Bennett, a former Leaside High School teacher, the school is administered for Variety Club by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children which is 'appeal- ing for $400,000 in its Easter Seal campaign. Every seal you buy will bring new hope to cases that have been classed as hopeless. Of the 52 who enrolled since the school opened, at least 38 have left with a useful career assured for them and with a vastly different outlook on life. They learned some trade or occupation; how to mend watches, operate business machines, do type- writing and metal or wood work as well as industrial art, They also ac- quired useful hobbies such as leather- craft, silversmithing and photography, For the first time in their lives they went to school as other boys do and again for the first time they attended swim classes and joined in rifle prac- tise at the Long Branch ranges and in study groups 'at the Royal Ontario Museum. Within the past year two Variety Village graduates obtained positions in the same business office. The school, understand, does more than educate and Instruct. The Society ap- peals to interested service clubs to find work the boys in return for its task of administration. One graduate was so anxious to get ahead, he enrolled in a night school and then called on Principal Bennett for a $20 loan, of which $5 was for fees and $15 for books, Mr. Bennett knew the lad had money in the bank and he asked him, "Why the touch?" The lad replied, "Because I was told at your school never to take my money out of the bank but always to put it in," He got the loan and he paid it back as agreed with interest. Buy your seals in the campaign which opens March 13th and contin- ues for the next month and you will find that your investment will reward you with dividends in human values. In one recent month Canadians cashed more cheques than ever be- fore. They were worth 39,031,986.000.
