One of these is John Baland's "White August" (Michael Joseph). Like Nevil Shute's Australian story "In the Wet", it calls upon the imaginat- ion. But there are few implaus- ible things these' days, and what with flying saucers and nuelear fission, and one thing after anoth- er, most of us will be willing to believe, almost, that on that July evening of which Mr. . Boland writes, snow did actually fall in the middle of a heat wave and covered the whole of the British Isles. It becomes apparent that the snow is a weapon of war, radio- active and deadly; but no retali- ation can be affected (the radar screens are of no avail) as no one knows who the enemy is or where the snow is coming from. In the nick of time, however, scientists locate the source and the nation's defences destroy it. The reader is left terrified in his chair. * * Few of us ever worry very much about falling to our deaths while climbing Mt. Everest or be- ing eaten by a camel. It isn't likely any of us will meet that sort of fate. But we do worry about cancer, polio and heart dis- ease, as those things can happen. And a good many people are these days reconciled to the belief that we will soon break away from the earth and reach out across space to inflict ourselves on the inhab- itants of other planets. And why shouldn't we have such beliefs? After all, the literate world took George Orweii's story about the "Animal Farm" in its stride, even when the horses and the cows grew tired of man's domination and took over. Even his sordid tale of what the world would be like in "1984" was palatable. After all this—and Jules Verne and Orson Welles, too—believing that snow would fall in July is effortless. 5 R * Another British book worth reading is Prof. Nicholas Man- sergh's "The Name and Nature of the British Commonwealth". This is an intriguing subject for the student of empire develop- ment. Prof. Mansergh relates the origin and development of the commonwealth concept, from the time Lord Rosebery first used the term. in Adelaide in 1884. If you find that fare a bit too rich for your post-harvest appetite then take a look at Eric Nicol's latest book of humor—"Shall We Join the Ladies" (Ryerson). Mr. Nicol, you may remember, is on the staff of The Vancouver Pro- vince. Ile says he gave up writ- ing poetry when he was at col- lege ,because he found out that Blake "was nutty as a fruitcake and Swinburne ran around the house naked" Mr. Nicol must know that most poet's are mad—Baudelaire, Flau- bert Goethe, Poe, Rousseau, Strindberg, Ruskin, all of them -- but he insists he is rational only because he left their company. I like his story in "Shall We Join the Ladies" where he tries to open an account in an English bank. I tried that once and decided it was easier to use the old sock. 5 5 * The erudite Literary Times of London .has said in an appreciat- ion • of Canadian writing that at last the Canadian has a "sense of who he is and where he belongs". It is good to hear this, but it is confusing to know that in find- ing where they belong such Cana- dian writers as Thomas Costain, Morley Callaghan and Robert Thomas Allen spend most of their time in the United States, while New Brunswick author Lawrence Earl and the young Montreal writer Mordecai Richler are find- ing inding their destinies in old London. But then Canada has as star residents such personalities as England's Nicholas Monsarrat ("The Cruel Sea") and Scotland's START THEM OCIOCINER SELL MORE MILK Feed it to be sure of health- ier growth.

He points out that there is a vast difference between the reading habit and just being able to read. Because his experience has been that most "books that are good for you" are dull books he does notrecommend that parents should insist that their children only read books that are improv- ing. Children, according to this great reader,' should be enc�ur- age to read:books or papers that interest them. If .they are inter- ested; he• argues, they will learn to read without strain and in this manner will: Soon acquire - the reading habit, which generally serves one comfortably well thro- ughout life, particularly when the age of 40 has been passed, an age which Six' .Harold unflinchingly calls middle. His rules for reading are to read continuously and don't skip, to read all the books of one auth- or before going on to anything else, and if you are learning a No Great Surplus Butter Stock Could Be Short This summer's drought, Which hit hard at dairy farmers in some foreign language do not botherto read "the best" books. There is no stimulus. to learning quite so resourceful as interest. Finally, Sir Harold says that one can spot a person who has acquired the reading habit because he cannot refrain from peeping at books be- ing read by other people on buses. It may be rude, but it is the badge and symbol of the reading habit. •+ter4 parts of Ontario, illustrated Well a point that has often been made by Ontario's producers of cream and butter. The drought cut into the past- ures, with thh _result that farmers had to resort to supplementary feeding in order to maintain their milli flow. By doing this they were running the risk of reducing winker teed supplies, on which they depend for a good production level during the winter months, As it worked out , there was some reduction in yields on many dairy farmers, which lowered the level of cream moving to distribu- tion points. This, in turn, reduced the amount of butter turned out by creameries, particularly in some of the leading dairy, areaieo in the eastern part of the peuv-- inee. Ontario did not, however, hit of dairy produce shortage as a re— sult ofthe lack of rain during the• hot part of the summer. But the threat was there And it proved, as cream -produc- ing farmers have often said, that only a slight increase in butter consumption, or a very slight re- duction in production, could leave the country with a very slim mare gin over requirements. In fact, if each Canadian were• to eat about three more, pounds. of butter per year there would not.,, be much of a stock on hand.
