Mainly be- cause it isn't true, What's the book going to be about? Well, that's still on the secret list, because I don't know. But after looking over a few shelves of books at the lo- cal library, I know that publish, ers will print almost any kind of garbage. So, if it's garbage they want, I'm going to make up the big- gest literary garbage pail that has ever been set before the public. It's going to be cram- med with sex, violence, delin- quent teenagers, corrupt poli- ticians, dope fiends, alcoholics, doctors, cowboys, how to raise prize zinnias, favorite recipes, and all the other ingredients of the most successful books. It will be autobiographical, of course. At first, I thought that might be a little difficult, as I've led rather a sheltered life. Then I realized that all I had to do was decorate things a lit- tle. Gild the Billy so to speak. Thus, instead of going to high school and being on the football team and going steady, in the book be the leader of a group of teenage terrorists who get their kicks out of setting fire to nursing homes, under the influence of heroin. Instead of joining the air force and becoming an officer and a fighter pilot and having a ball most of the time, in the Veteran's Benefits I've decided to. Write a book. Not because I want to. Not bp.. cause I have a message. Not be- cause I think anybody will buy it. But because a fellow has dared me to. He was, a ptiblisher. I told him hundreds of people nay, thousands had asked me when I was going to PrOduce a book Made up of my columns. This was a big, fat lie, of course. I think the total of the queries was between t we 1 v e and thir- teen. He was nice about it, if a little steely-eyed. He agreed that there'd be a big sale, if I bought thp 1,000 copies 'prom- ised to buy, to give away to my friends. (They'd be getting a- about 120 copies each, at that rate, but they could give them away to THEIR friends.) He agreed that the whole thing was a great idea. For some other publisher. But he sort of took the steem out of my selfesteem when he came out with the logical statement, "If a book is worth publishing, it's worth writing." This is the sort of thing pub- lishers sit around thinking up, when they're not worrying a- bout some of us great writers getting away from them. Which they don't seem to spend an ex- cess of time doing. Unfortunate- ly, writers can't flashback with, "If a book is worth writing, it's Marks 84th Birthday Mrs. Henry Hodgins, Lucan, marked her 84th birthday cele- bration following her great grandspn's baptism in St. Patrick's Church, Saintsbury, at the home of the baby's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ron Carroll, Seated is Mrs. Hodgins with her datighter, Mrs. Harry Carroll and Mrs. Ronald Carroll holding baby Ian, Lucan. personals All ex-service personnel and their dependents are invited, to take advantage of a free Legion service.
