come up behind the man just tulle d
about to enter the brightly-10SO
Holden home, tau touch the Mark OA
the shoulder, and he turns quy,
toward you, and by the light of Ibe
doordde lamp you see he b a good7
looking young man, dressed imp?
lately in a sharply -pressed dark'pa '.
suit, spotless white shat, Intik/40100
knotted blue paisley tie.
"You're young Holden?" Yon SA
u you flash your I.D. card.
"Yes ... come in ... what do you
want?"
You enter the home, 'where the
young man is greeted almost hysteri-
cally by his overwrought mother .and
father, and then finally you are
seated in the huge living room.
"I don't know at all where I was
kept," begins Allen Heiden. "I was
kept blindfolded the whole tin%until
just before the kidnapers let .me out
of their car about six or seven blocks
from here. My hands were tied behind
me, and I had to sleep in my clothes...
they did shave me several times .,. and
they fed me pretty good, too. Only
once did they exhibit any violence
towards me, when 1 had almost suc-
ceeded in rubbing my blindfold off
agamst the edge of the bed 1 was Dying
on ... then someone hit me a terrific
blow on the head."
You take quick note of the con-
tusion above the young man's left ear,
then ask, "When was that'?"
"About two days ago ... as near as
1 can figure..,
"1 wonder why they didn't relieve
you of that diamond ring you're wear-
ing," you comment.
"Why, 1 ... I don't know, 1 guess
maybe the ransom money was too
much on their minds."
:11 agree," you retort. "The ransom
money must have been very much on
someone's mind, and I think maybe
you can tell me quite a bit more about
this than you have so far admitted!"
Why are you suspicious of young
Holden's kidnaping story?

Bather 'belatedly, I'm reading
Hugh Garner's autobiographical
One Damn Thing After Another,
and 6herc «i"',g'asy , ijoyir g it.
There are two types of people to
whom this book would appeal:
those who are interested in the
rather mysterious worlds of the
professional writer and the
publisher, and those who enjoy
the reminiscences of u robust and
prickly personality who has done
a lot of living in sixty -odd years.
It is far from Garner's best
book. It is repetitious and padded
inexcusably with articles he has
written and a speech he has
made. There is nothing of the
grace and strength of his magni-
ficent short stories or the solid
skill of his good novels.
But that's as it should be. He is
writing about Hugh Garnier the '
man, as well as Hugh Garner the
writer, and nobody knows better
than he that, while the latter may
be on the way to becoming a
Canadian literary giant, the
former has feet of clay, if not
putty.
Garner *makes it quite clear
that he is far from being an ad-
mirable person, in the usual
sense. He- gets drunk at, or
arrives drunk at, . formidably
serious events. He tells people to
do impossible biological things to
themselves.
As he tells it, he is the sort of
guy you would never invite to a
second party at your place,be-
cause he would likely have in-
sulted someone at the first party.
Or, if you. invited him to a party
as the guest of honor, he'd
probably get into a beer parlor
and forget all about it, leaving
_ you, his host, with egg on your
face when the "distinguished
author" failed to show.
Despite the somewhat dim light
in which Garner often shows
himself, he makes it perfectly
clear that he admires himself
very much. Out of the book comes
a good, strong, healthy ego,
which is fine. Every real writer
must have this belief in himself,
or he turns into a dodlr-mat for
Aft.

And somewhere along the line,
as you read this book, you begin
to share Earner's opinion of bun -
self.
In most of us, however sedate
our lives, there lurks .a hidden
rebel, a wild poe,eonformiist, a
teller -off of the boss, a fighter for
hopeless causes.
Garner has been, and is, all of
these things, and we can enjoy
ourselves, vicariously, by identi-
fying with his colorful, battleful
life. •
Hugh Garner has been fighting
battles all his life, and a less
doughty fighter would long since
have been buried physically, so-
cially, and perhaps spiritually.
As a kid, he fought the obloquy
and occasional humiliation of the
very poor in a Toronto slum, and
emerged°from it tough and chip -
on -shoulder.
As' a youth, he dropped out of
school and ran head-on into the
Depression. He bummed all over
North America, riding freights,
seeing country, working at many
things, and storing a great fund of
experience for his future fiction.
He learned earlier the frus-
tration of a proletariat facing the
establishment and this led to . a
suspicion of, and disillusionment
with, authority, which he has re-
tained all his life.
He fought as a volunteer in the
International Brigade in the
Spanish Civil . War. This - was
probably the last gallant crusade
in the history of war, when thou-
sands of young idealists from
many nations left home to battle
fascism. Most of them -were
scorned and derided as "reds" in
their own countries.
Yet Garner .was clear-headed
enough to realize that the Com-
munists were using the volun-
teers as dupes, and he was never
sucked in. '
Again a fight} 1pon,�
ed when
Canada - declared - war on Ger-
many. Garner joined up, in the
army, right away. His "red"
background was against :him, so
he switched to the • navy, and
spent a number of dangerous,
tumultuous and hilarious years
before his discharge as a chief
petty officer (he certainly wasn't
"officer material").
Then came the biggest battle of
all, trying to become a profes-
sional writer in Canada. At the
time, he had about as much
chance as he would have had if'
he'd chosen to run for king of
England.
Doggedly, he fought stupid edi-
tors, -timid publishers, and the
great apathy of the Canadian
reader, sustained only by his own
sublime and certain conviction
that his stuff was good.
It was a long, pitched battle,
with many a skirmish, the occa-
sional rout, and the just -as -
occasional victory. But he won.
At his best, Hugh Garner is one
of the best short story writers in
the English language, with a
grasp of the feelings and motives
of `ordinary" people that is
wholly credible.

Metric pamIih
for farmers
at SIiurGaifl
Shur -Gain haspublishedt
operation with InforMatiof Can-
ada, a,pamphlet which -describes
metric measurement as it will
apply to agriculture in Canada. Jt
has been available through Shut.'
Gain dealers across Canada since'
March 15. •
Murray Stewart, general ad-
vertising ' and .public relations -'
manager of Shur -Gain saysthat
the pamphlet is designed to help
farmers with metria measure-
mentby familiarizing them with. .
the new terms.
"It is not the purpose of the
pamphlet to provide conversion
tables," he said, "but rather, an
start us thinking in terms of
metres, kilometres, litres and
kilograms."
The pamphlet.: tells bow the
metre was established as aunit of
measurement andloes on to }t-
linie the advantages of the met*-i�c
system for farmers. It relates the
metric system to areas of land,
temperature, capacity. - of • bins
and silos, construction -of-farm
buildings, calculation of yields,
as well as all liquid measurement
for dairy farmers.
The pamphlet also contains a
schedule of , metric measure- .
ments for the home including
measurements for baking,cook-
ing, sewing, etc. Illustrated dia-
grams and charts, as well as
practical hints on how farmers
can visualize the new metric
measurem nts;- are also' in-
cluded.
"Information . Canada did a
good job and we wanted to share
it with our producers in this
way," said Mr. Stewart.
