Something new, and particularly
odious, is threatening to destroy
any semblance of domestic placid-
ity at our place. A shadoW has
crept across the little pale sun that
shone, however dimly, on on , has plunged us•into the worst eco-
nomic .gloorn we've eVer experienc- household. Hot words and cold ed. First of all, she hag the insane looks are the colors of the day.
It seems like a. little thing. But
it's making me depressed, irritable,
moody, sullen and generally iras-
cible. Perhaps if I get it off my
chest in this space I'll feel better.
Briefly, my wife is now handling
our finances.
In the old, happy, carefree days
in the newspaper business, I hand-.
led the family funds with no stress,
no strain, no tension,
I used to pick up the mail each
morning. If there were any bills,
I stuck them in my hip pocket,
unopened. After a week or two, rd-
empty my pocket into a drawer at
the office. Every month or so, I'd
look them over, and pay a few of
the more urgent demands.
I ran contra-accounts with some
of -the merchants, They'd run up a
big advertising bill, and I'd run up
a big bill for drugs, or hardware.
At the end of the year we'd have a
grand reckoning, square up, and all
would 'be serene. *
Little money changed hands, and
all parties were satisfied, It was as
primitive, -and just as efficient, as
transactions 'in the old days of
trade.

do noCpretend to hEive much abili-
ty—if I had I would be writing
books of my Own, riot reviewing
somebody else's, By all the forego-
ing I am trying to say that this
book I found exciting.
It is the story of a man, who
occupies, in his working hours,•an
office on the fortieth floor of an
office building in Manhattan. He
is John Ridgely Warren, president
of General American Publishing.
Company. The story is his life to
this point; its future depends on
the fate of a tottering publishing
empire. As is generally true, what
actually happens IS' not: so' import-'
ant as how a mail reacts to the
test, Many people will be affected
by his decision.
General American Publishifig
Corripany has been founded by a
flamboyant 'Per*, Abbot Shalom
Pepper. Ile had a stirring journal-
istic philosophy, namely, that "One
man plus the truth makes a ma-
jority." Americans, over the yeara,
had answered many of the calla of
"Trumpet," his weekly Magazine;
less public-minded citizens had had
their tastes molded by his monthly
"Gentlewoman." With his death,
the life-blood of the magazines had
flowed more sluggishly. Circulation
had dropped and it wad Warren's
job to breathe life into these list-
leas giatitt.
Until he was faced with bank-
ruptcy *Warren had not really felt
the putee of the magazine. Ills
world had been that of the balance
sheet he had been more torieetn-
t With the ati.irY the fikuree told
9
than %the mgasage r Ahe; Magazines
gave tliei leaders 'Too' late he
rtealized..thatithe.,.elaphasi.a, should
have been more • equally divided.
During -a desperate two weeks We
see him fighting almost alone to
save the magazines; bedevilled con-
stanfly , by creditors, refused fur-
ther credit by hanks and financiers.
He is torn asunder by the demands,
of the board members to fold the
magazines before they have to be
liquidated, and by the barely aud-
ible pleas of the thousands of em-
ployees to whom these publications
were life. That it is two weeks be-
fore Christmas adds to the poig-
nancy of the dilemma. The ashes
of his apparently hurned-out mar-
riage also warm to life. The pres-
sure of all these decisions are al-
most more than one man can
endure.
Over the' years he had become
increasingly independent, powerful
an51 almost friendless. His Integrity
had almost become immolated be-
neath a layer of expendiency, but
Contact with Mary, his ex-wife,
'David Elliott, a friend in the true
sense of the word, and old Mr.
Bronstein, whom he unwittingly
and unwillingly almost destroyed
in theprocess, restored his per-
spective, Warren's decisions made
it possible for him to live with him-
self. That is important, I think,
and believe that other readers of
this book Will applaud him. Some,
however,' Will agree with the board
member, whom Warren . hood-
winked, The world, we must real-
ize, is full of all kinds of people.
The Men in this book were real
—there were few women, but they
were cleercut too, One can almost
hear the crash of the rolling
presses and stooll the hot ink; be-
fore our eyes the mechanics of
magazine publication unfold. The
writing is vivid, polished and
mows along rapidly. 'The heart of
a Man Is laid bare—this is reality

PERSONAL CONCERN
Very few people in today's well-
informed society could say with any
measure of truth that they have
never known - the fear of cancer.
With television, radio and news-
papers pumping out constant warn-
ings, almost every individual over
the age of thirty has known odd
moments when he or she wondered,
no matter how briefly, about the
possible ,presence • of this dreaded
threat to human life.
• Not top many years ago we
worried much less about cancer .
and as a consequence were the more
seriously —threatened, for modern
coupled with greater public
consciousness, have combined to pro-
duce more and more cures.
-Cancer, of course, as we all know,
is among the top killers in civilized
society, It, strikes in the most un-
expected places and all too often its
consequences . are fatal. But the
outlook is by no means hopeless.
Millions of dollars a year are being
poured into this battle, one in which
money is one of the most potent
weapons. 'The best brains of the
world of science are engaged in the
unending struggle to break down
the mysteries .Of cancer — its• origin,
its growth and its control. Natural-
ly these experts must be paid.. and
they must be supplied with the best
of tools*foFtheir all-important work.
This, of course, is Where've, the'
very people Who fear the threat of
cancer can take our places in the
firing line. No single -government..
could allocate enough money for the
alt-out battle against this disease.
The fight is being waged in so many
places that it takes the Combined
support of men and women through-
out the nation to provide the backing
required.

MEN OR ANIMALS?
Last Wednesday • afternoon, at a
meeting of the board of the Huron
County Children's Aid Society we
heard a true story which points up
sharply the mental attitudes of
southern segregationists.
For several, seasons a most inter-
esting experiment in child dare has
been carried out *by an institution
known as High Pines Foster Home
Centre at Thessalon in northern On-
tario. The majority of the boys in
care are delinquents — those young-
sters who require the greateSt care
and patience on the part of the
people who are willing to dO •some-
thing practical about their:rehabili-
tation.
During the 'summer the centre is
operated on a camp basis at,-Thes-
salon, and in .the cold weather the
bpys are taken -to Florida, where
camps have been used to continue
the excellent training program. This
year, however, the whole plan ran
in to a sharp . snag. -
The arrangements had been:com-
pleted for a Florida camp and the
director and his charges travel-
led south. But when the camp own-
ers found that the contingent from'
Ontario included one negro lad, the
whole deal was off. In desperation
the director asked the use of a. site
in a state park, witout success. For
several days the bo rs were shuttled
around such motels as would accept
the party. Finally a private indi-
vidual, who had not only..a fine
sense of the worth of all: Cod's
creatures, but ,a fortune as well, pro-
vided the party with a millionaire
camping ground, which even. includ-
ed a swimming pool — and a warm
welcome.
ADEQUATE SERVICE
Several months ago it was an-
nounced that an application would
be submitted to the federal licensing
authority for the establishment of a
new radio station 'in the-town of
Goderich. - Since that time it is
rumored that a second application
has been, or will be, made for the
station rights in that community.
Though there is no way of know-
ing what action will be taken in the
matter, it would appear that a radio
outlet in the county town could be
a somewhat ill-chosen venture. In
the first-place the Goderich area,
from the market standpoint, is a one-
sided district, since Lake Huron
obviates any sales possibilities to the
west. This being the case, all sales
efforts in the advertising field would
of necessity be directed to the inland
area, which, incidentally has been
well served by CKNX in Wingham
for more than 25 years.
The hearings on new applications
in recent years have included consid-
erable testimony in relation to the
market area-surrounding a proposed
station — to make sure that there
is sufficient business available to
provide reasonable likelihood of fi-
nancial success for such a venture.
The areewhich a station in Goderich
would seek is adequately covered not
only by the Wingham radio and
television stations, brit by a group
of weekly newspapers which have
been serving their towns for the
better part of a century — each one
of which has devoted endless effort
to the promotion of all that is best
in community development.
If this section included Metro-
politan Toronto there might be a
sound reason for another radio sta-
tion . — but since it is western On-
tario, a very solid, butt, be it- said.
slowly-developing area, the ease is
entirely differont.

A TIME FOR CAUTION
,„ •
I never paid the premiums on
my insurance policies until my
month's "grace" had run out I
was 'always one winter behind in
my fuel bill. I paid the taxes on
the last day of the year, or a few
weeks later. I made the payments
on. the mortgage and the car when-
ever the spirit moved me, imper-
vious to threats, warnings and the
other trappings of the bill collector.
As.a result of this tight money
policy, there 'was usually some
ready cash on hand for necessities,
like smokes, magazines, crocks, gas
for the car, and birthday gifts.
When we were going on a trip, or
off to the city for a. big week-end,
I'd just write a cheque, get my
partner to countersign it, and cash
it at the grocery store.
When the bank mapager ,ealled,1
I:spoke...right up' before' he could
say a word, and told_ )ainif...."Mi•
rielit-,:akirgd,' gef soiree money"
in right away to cover those
cheques."
Oh, once or twice a year, I'd have
a goad grumble about all the 'bills
coming in, but nobody paid much
attention, including myself.
At the end of each year, we owed
the business another thousand dOl-
lars, but the way I explained it to
my wife, that was perfectly logical,
as my partner wasn't married, so
didn't need as much money as we
did. She thought this an eminently
sensible explanation.
This system. worked to perfection.
We were happy. I was respected
for my financial acumen, In fact,
my wife used to listen, rapt, when
I discoursed on higher economics,
interest rates, finance companies,
and things of that sort
There 'was never a cross•Word
about money. There was never
much money, either, hut that didn't
seem to matter. Now, we seldom
talk about anything else.
I come home froin schocl now,
haul out a cold one, and sit down
for a friendly chat, five minutes
later, there are bills and receipts
all over the kitchen table, I'm de-
fending my former rnonteary polity
like a deposed minister of finance,
and she's attacking it as rnericless-
ly as the auditor-general.
It's humiliating • for a former
GOod-Time Charlie; who could buy
around with the best of them, or
plunge for a raffle ticket with a
ri floush, to have to ask for his
lunch money. But what cuts deeper
than 'that is' the fact- that -. she
knows where every nickehshe gives
Me is spent. I'm supposed to be at

nance it if I want to support a
