I renewed and re -renewed SILENT SPRING By Rachel Carson far more than any library -card- holder ever should. I had my reasons, good and sufficient too they seemed, but one of them was that although the book was thrillingly interesting, it was also not exceptionally easy to read. My difficulty there, too was purely personal. The older I grow, the more chinks appear in my educational armour. My children, who have studied Botany and Zoology would have sailed through the book. There- fore, if you have such basic knowledge, read "Silent Spring" --from it I can promise you enjoyment; if you have not such knowledge, you will learn it, palatably too, but it will just take you a little longer to di- gest the material. This book has stirred up a great deal of controversy and understandably so. The chief opponents, of course, are the companies who manufacture and sell herbicides and pesti- cides, but curiously too many scientists oppose her writing. That is not so easy to compre- hend until you have read the book yourself. Miss Carson is a kind of prophet of doom, although many there are who consider her right in her declamations. Some even wonder if her warn- ings are coming too late. She is a biologist turned author. The reason that many scientists disapprove of her is that she has not remained detached and impartial as scientists are re- puted to be. She has written with an impassioned tenour what is not really a scientific treatise but in the words of David Spurgeon (of the " Toron- to Globe and Mail" )"is almost a tract". Deep emotion per- meates every page, backed up by a wealth of scientific proof gleaned from America chiefly, and other parts of the world also. These facts are the pro- duct of reputable organizations, agencies and institutions. She quotes freely from a whole roster of entomologists, patho-, logoists, geneticists, physiolo- gists, biologists and ecologists. Her critics point out, however, that she uses only information useful to prove her point, that she suppresses facts that would dilute the strength of her argu- ment. It evolves into a kind of one-sided debate. I found myself wanting to hear the other side complete with re- futations. Possibly I'm only clutching at straws. It may be that I do not want to believe that the situation is as serious as she says. This deeply impassioned writing, of course, is exactly what makes the book of inter- est to the general reader (and it has been well up on the library lists for months). I am convinced now that there should be better biological controls and careful weighing of me- thods of destruction. The quick clearly make for the dead, Slower methods could keep "the balance of nature" where it should be. There are immutable physical laws that, if broken, will have their in- exorable effects. One chapter on the possible connection be- tween some of these chemicals and the incidence of cancer bears heeding. The genetic effects of other products al- ready warrant consideration. If this book only stirs the gener- al public up, to think and ask a few questions before acting, it will have done a great deal. I found myself infected with concern as I read. The prose with the precision of its polished vocabulary gave great joy. The chapter head- ings drawn by Lois and Louis Darling were vividly appro- priate; the title headings them- selves sparked instant interest. The dedication of the book to Albert Schweitzer was proven appropriate a she quoted him as saying "Man has lost the capacity to foresee and fore- stall. He will end by destroy- ing the earth." Wedding Held On Saturday Ingeborg Suter and Rodwell Wilson Wraith, both of Owen Sound, pledged wedding vows Saturday at Wingham United Church. Rev. C. M. Jardine officiated. The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Suter of Wing - ham. The bridegroom's par- ents are Mr. and Mrs. John Wraith of Lucknow. Given in marriage by her brother, Gerhard T. Suter of Toronto, the bride wore a formal satin brocaded gown styled with a scooped neckline and bouffant skirt. A satin headdress trimmed with myrtle held her shoulder - length veil of French silk il- lusion and she carried red sweetheart roses and white mums. Mrs. Peter Behrens of St. Catharines, was matron of honor for her sister, in a pale green peau de soie gown of ballerina length and she carried pink carnations. Betty Mackness of Barrie was bridesmaid in a mauve -pink peau de soie gown. Pink car- nations made her bouquet. Eldon F. Wraith of Lucknow was best man.

The bride is a graduate of the University of Western On- tario, London, and the bride- groom is a graduate of Radio College of Canada. 0 0 0 0 0 0 * 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 e a 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 000000000000000000 PERSONAL NOTES --Miss Leah Robertson spent Sunday with her brother, Mr. and Mrs. T, A.
