and ties part way through a piece of writing Even when the work is complete no one can ell how crude or skilled a craftsman the writer Is unless he takes the lime to atop and read he poem or story Writing requires characte ristics most people don t have he says Most writers are Inward looking think and selfish too in a way riling is craft requ res more discipline and more time and more pain than most crafts Yourenlly at it As Thomas Woolfe says It like arthritis There a bit of pain every ning He feels writers tend to be very analytical and also that many writers write because they arc unable to do anything whiting itch Writing is like having an Itch he chuckles If you itch long enough eventually you rj going to scratch Writers to have a compulsion to write Pollers and carvers and other crafts people may enjoy their hobby but if they can I get at it for a while I don know if it worries them too much But for writers it like a can I ignore Mr Henderson be long to either of the Canadian writers unions While he agrees that they have served useful purposes In certain things like improving standard contracts the groups have a certain nationalistic over tone which he finds sing Nor does he believe in its for would be authors 1 wouldn dream of taking a course in creative writing he says It s slightly beyond want to say and you know the way you to say It I suppose it could be useful to script to who could help In the ishmg up hut you have to write It yourself A good editor can do that Once a good idea has been recognized a really creative editor can help mously The editor and author have to agree on what the story Is the author wants to tell but then a precise blunt editor can do so much to improve a Mr Henderson feels that writers fall into two groups the type who writes short poems in slim magazines that no one reads the type who writes for public consumption The first duty of a writer is to be read he says firmiv and I despise people who say don care whether or not they re read The ones who pour abuse on the of writers like Arthur Haley or Harold became they re churning out so much garbage arc usually Just sour grapes People like Robbing don pretend to have any special angle or particular message for people The just hive a good story and they tell it well You hear people say they re Just as good as these popular wnlers but rccogniied yet I doubt if or Dickens ever thought of themselves as producing great literature But they were very popular in their day People recognized their ability to tell a story well and ignored what future genera lions might think of it Thej read or watched the plays to enjoy them Don ever kid yourself that these fellows in it for the money They had to be Juat as commercial as today writer to make a living SCHOOL At

had to do with grammar he says and are aimed for the Gride to 13 level He feeis texts must very You have to get them into the lent before you start preaching he says That why don work with kids under the fourth grade They re too smart They con spot a phony at half a mile Mr Henderson firmly believes that television should be used in the classroom although he feels that it is not being used effectively now He says it is totally immaterial what a child watches The very foct he watches the set will change the way he absorbs information Before long teachers will be arriving In the classrooms who were raised with television as todays children ore and then the altitude will change They will understand how use it better and bring In the changes pre sent educators won accept Mrs Henderson Is a teacher with the board of The couple have no children When asked if he is working on a second novel Mr Hender son Just shook his head 1 t tell if I was he says Hut novels nearly as satisfying as text Now THEY are Boat people may arrive any time The Operation Lifeline of Vietnamese refugees are working steadily in ration for the arrival of heir families in Hills but the exact
