PAGE EICHT THE OSHAWA DAILY, TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1 929 CANADIAN AUTHOR WHO MARRIED HIS HEROINE DISCUSSES HIS WRITING 5 A -------------- VAll the world loves a lover, and when the lover happens at the same time to be a young writer basking in' the limelight of recently acquired success, and who has just married the heroine of his latest novel, the world, of course, loves--con molto 'amore. The young man who is at present living in this rarified atmo- sphere of universal beatitude is Louis Arthur Cunningham, who has fol- lowed up the publication and wide sale of his book, "This Thing Called | Love," with a plunge into matrimony . which landed him in Montreal, on his honeymoon. ; : Interviewed at his hotel he readily supplied information about himself, his bride, his "home town," his pub- lishers, and things in general, and tribute must be laid at the feet of Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham, for there are not many people who would suf- fer themselves to be interviewed on their honeymoon and be so charm- ing about it. 3 : ; Bos John, Mr. Cunningham af- firms, is delighted with the publicity he has brought it. Ancient inhabi- tants, of course, are inclined to shake their heads at such audacity in one so young, and the newspapers show- ed themselves, at first, just a tiny bit hurt, but apparenty Saint John JURY & LOVELL'S OPTICAL PARLORS J.

SUNDAY AND Botipay SCHEDULE es! has decided to look upon Mr, Cun- ningharih as its enfant terrible--and be proud of him. Anyhow, when age murmurs, "Si Ja jeunesse savait," youth can. always come back with, "Si la vieillesse pouvait," and the odds are decidedly on Mr. Cunning- ham, Spirit of Saint John When "the Sinclair Lewis of Can- ada" was flung at him, Mr, Cun- ningham said that that idea had been his before anybody else thought of it, "but," he added, "an American friend of mine told me that as the Sinclair Lewis of Canada, I would be in a very anomalous position." Undoubt- edly, the American friend was right, and really there is very little of the spirit of Sinclair Lewis in Mr. Cun- ningham, and a great deal of the spirit of Saint John. "I love Saint John," he said, and then, just a little anxiously, "I think I showed that in my book, didn't 1?" "My next book," he went on, "is written from quite a different stand- point. The manuscript is already in the hands of my pubilshers, but it is not fo be published until next spring. It is a story of Acadia, and the scene is the 'Tautramur Marsh, a long stretch of marsh land in the eastern part of New Brunswick--a melan- choly place. TI have called it 'The Cobbler of St. Eloi. "I have already started on another book, a romance of the days of wood- en ship-building. New Brunswick was famous for its wooden ships, and many old and splendid families built up immense fortunes while wind ships were in their heyday. Their fortunes went when steam driven srips came in, but Saint John is full of the old houses which were once inhabited by these families. "The sea is in the blood of the people of my province. I often get letters from school friends of mine who are working inland, and in every one there is expressed a longing for the sea. When we were boys, we used to swim round and round the Norwegian and Danish boats when they came in, and in the evenings we would always go out and watch the lights blinking in the harbor, and then the rasp of an anchor would be heard through the darkness--that sound lives forever in one's mind. I think a love of the sea and a roman- tic mind go together, with just a tinge of melancholy. "Everybody prayed that our wed- ding day would be bright and sunny, but I wanted a day 'that would be misty, like our real New Brunswick days. I love mist and fog, I love to be out at night, when everybody else has gone to bed, and I love to be out in the early morning before people have got up." Speaks of Marriage Speaking ' of his marriage, Mr Cunningham said: "Ours was a boy = 18 Bimooe Btreet, South. ANNIVERSARY SALE Men's Iron Grey $9.00 Suite... 0... I.

Since I started to write, she 'has typed out all my manuscripts for me, and 1 have found her a wonderful help in my work. Some people say that collaboration between husband and wife means literary suicide. We are going to risk it--and live just outside Saint John. "Although travel broadens the mind, 1 think that one should only write about places that one knows really well. It is necessary to be sat- urated" with your subject before you can write anything that really lives. Things written from notes are : no good. They may live for other people, but they do not live for you, and that is the thing that really matters. I do not write to please other people. 1 write what is in me, and what 1 can't help saying--my own thoughts about things. "Sometimes I do no work for six months, but shreds of ideas are form- ing themselves in my mind all the time, and then I will write fifty thou- sand words at one stretch. I believe in what Robert Louis Stevenson says: The mind is a pot, and you must let things simmer in it. Everything that goes into it, although you may think much of it forgotten and gone from your mind, helps in the end. I love writing--even hack writing. There is a joy in it which is not to be found in anything else." WOMEN SMOKERS ARE DEFENDED Chicago, July 16--Smoking is no worse physically on woman's consti- tution than it is upon man's, an edi- torial in the American Medical Asso- ciation Journal, just off the press, de- clares, The article answers a recent attack long curls down her back, and in my Most people rely on Aspirin "to make short work of their headaches, but did you know it's just as effective in the worse pains from neuralgia or neuritis? Rheu- matic pains, too. Don't suffer when Aspirin can bring such complete comfort without delay, and without harm; it does not affect the heart. In every package of Aspirin you will find proven directions with which everyone should be familiar, for they can spare much needless suffering, GASPIRIN Aspirin i» a Trademark Registered in Canada by the Methodist Board of Temper- ance, Prohibition and Public Morals, upon "The lying, murderous campaign of the American Tobacco Trust" "As to the hysical harm = done to them, (women) or to their offspring," says the journal, "if it is any greater I | than that done by the same habit to their husbands and brothers, it is high time some scientific evidence be brought forward to show in what this particular harm consists," The editorial contends the "moral- ity of smoking by women is not a medical concern any more than the question as to whether or not they should go bareheaded into church." . The writer challenges a statement in the Methodist paper that 60 per cent of all babies born of cigaret smoking mothers, die before they reach the age of two, due primarily to 'nicotine poisoning." UNCONSCIOUS WIT INENTRANCE EXAN Otherwise Dull Task Of Examiners Enlivened By Humor Toronts, July 16--Unconscious hu- | 3 mor marked many of the answers encountered by examiners of en- trance and matriculation papers dur- ing the last few days, providing relief for an otherwise monotonous task. As in the instance of the lad who defined a courthouse as "a place where they dispense with justice" some of the answers had a bit of satire in them, but most of them were just mistakes. Orie pupil hopeful of entering high school was responsible for this bit of historical error: "The rebels of 1885 attacked Frog Lake and mas- saged the people." Funny answers in history were: "Alexander Graham Bell was the son of a Scottish profess of execu- tion." "The Indians made their carry the beast of burden." : "Cartier put a cross under the king of France. "The Indians called Frontenac the Great Antonio." "The Loyalists were confiscated from their homes." In' the composition examination there were amusing mistakes and peculiar specimens of spelling: "Trusty Rankin made a speech at Portland Square," wrote one lad, de- scribing the decoration of a monu- ment on Empire Day. Another recorded: "We put a pret- ty reaf on the monument." One pupil, describing a visit to a fair, wrote: "I was on the fairest weel twice'--meaning, doubtless the Ferris wheel. oe Some of the other composition ef- forts were as follows: "We ate a haughty supper at the farm." "There were sweaking animals and ginny pigs. "We thed to milk a cow. He tried to hit a fly on his back with his tail, but he caught me in the face." "We helped the farmer pitching hay and were rewarded with a ride on the horse's back. I thought I would nemver be able to sit down squaws gain. : "We first sang the national em- blem." "Down stares we saw some little caves and pigs." "We spent an hour bearback rid- ing on the farm." n the litearture entrance paper the pupils were required to state in a sentence the ee of each of several paragraphs describing a storm. One part of this description ran: "The windows of heaven were opened and ho man might stand against the setaming flood that de- scended by thousands of tons a min- ute." The. abatement of the storm was at ad ' el Th Jin J iT itis to you. SA LY= | INDUSTRIAL » FELLOWSHIP. The fragrant, stainless spray that kills flies, mosqui- toes, moths, roaches, bedbugs and ants easily and quickly. It is harmless to people and will not stain, al 1! PY ae] defined by a pupil thus: "It means that the storm slowly cleared away, as if there was a fish gradually tak- ing the bate off the book." Another paragraph ran like this: "We did not court danger by hug- ging too closely any of the ugly reefs and banks that abound in this dif- ficult strait, but gave them ail a re- spectfully wide berth." One pupil explained this wide berth as "a kind of wide sleeping-place." Another interpretation was: "They geve the passengers on the boat a erth they were not ashamed of." Trustee Mrs. E. L. Groves, chair- man of the Toronto board of educa- tion, tells of an answer that changed the statement of the public school | hygiene book, describing the stomach | as "an expansive sac," This boy made it "the stomach is an expensive sac." | Mrs. Groves comments: "There are | many who will agree with him." Another mistake on hygiene was that of the pupil who wrote that "the heart pumps the blood into the artil- lery." = Talor made Scotland Woollen Mills through its publication, "The Voice," ELLA CINDERS--Words And Discord ) -- A or FG BRINGING UP FATHER AX MR NGG! t JUST RETURNED FROM EUROPE I WAS MRD-JIGGED SINGING TEACHER AND WOLLD MAGGIE DARLIN MR.
