TANYA by Kristine Benson Kristofferson The Ryerson Press have pleasure in announcing this first book by a new Canadian novelist, a writer for whom they predict a great future, Born at Ginele a frontier Manitoba settlement, the daughter of Icelandic immigrant parents, Kristine Benson -Kristoffersen belongs to a racial group which has contributed in a distinguished way to Canadian letters and to our .national life far beyond what their numbers would ordinarily indicate. Entering with a will into Canadian life, all of it, such Icelandic descendants as the author, Laura Goodman Salverson, and others, are fascinated by the problem of nation building, of assimilating the various racial groups into a new Can- adian people, Tanya has such a theme as the basis of its story. The story is built around a Hudson's Bay Company post in northern Mani- toba. Here is the real northland and here the people who call it home, and the life they live. The author rias brought it all vividly into her book, the seasons coming and going, the forests and great rivers, and the ele- mental interests and passions which give life its colour and pattern. Above all it is the story of young people in a new and fast changing world of bar- riers of race which sometimes stand- fast and sometimes fall before over- powering needs. In this splendid story there are two or three characters that will long remain in the memory of the reader. They are exciting in that they the superbly drawn, but they are im- pressive because they show in a dra- matic way how they 'stood up to life, how they faced their own problem and found a solution for it. INDEPENDENT MEMBER by A. P. Herbert The author describes this book as "a chunk of autobiography." By virtue (or vice) of the Repregentation of the People Act, 1948, University Mem- bership has been abolished. Sir Alan Herbert has been an independent Member for Oxford University since 1935. Wondering what he and the other eleven University Members (three, whom are Privy Councillors) have done to deserve ejection, he goes back to Hansard and surveys his "Par- liamentary episode" from first to last. He gives some account of his many causes and pioneer campaigns; and he does not exclude the "scrapes," mis- takes and failures. The more important speeches are reproduced in full. Dur- ing the war the author divided his tithe between Parliament and the Roy- al Naval Auxiliary Patrol (Thames), and there is an incidental but vivid picture of life in a small patrol-vessel on London River throUghout the war. As the Manchester Guardian has said "the next Parliament will repro- duce nothing like Sir Alan Herbert. Nor will any other, He was inimitable; an embodiment of wit, earnestness and realism." For the student of politics there is much that throws light on Parliamen- tary life and procedure; and to chose who think of taking the Parliamentary plunge, the author, a profourad aellever Chas, Oeultes, seconded by Sam Al- cock that the Huron Crop Improve- ment Association be given a grant of $20.00, Carried Moved by Bailie Parrott, seconded by Sam Alcock that we join the Ontario Good Roads Association and that $25.00 be allow- ed each member of he Council or Township Official attending the Con- vention.

Yet from their story Miss Irwin has forg- ed a drama of two human beings ax moving and exciting as anytaing she has written. In the furious turmoil of her Scottish kingdom, Mary's aptitud- es for statecraft and affection were, constantly at war; it was only in Bothwell's courage and his love that she found serenity and a momentary happiness ,But fate and their own nature worked against them, though, no destiny could conquer their spirit- ' "I am myself, myself!" Mary cried in. revolt against the political tyrannies of her time. It was a battle cry flung against the world by two fiercely in- dividual souls. "It is an accomplished work, and it is also fluent, graceful, picturesque and very readable, with the romantic appeal that is inseparable from almost any book about Mary Stuart," JUVENILE INSURANCE Modern policy plans designed to serve your children's needs, CONSULT— F.
