Ruth has had her foot in a cast for a month now as a result of a fall outside her home. A cracked bone necessitated a cast which she will have to "lug" around for about six weeks. I'm sure by the time that comes off, Ruth will have to learn how to walk all over again. Sewing Guild Meets The lawn of the Dan Knapp home was the scene of an outdoor pot-luck lunch last week.

UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: My girl and I will be going to college at opposite ends of the country this fall and as much in love as we are, we can't help wonder what the future will bring for us. You've probably had similar problems like this one in the past and we want to know just what our chances would be of keeping the feelings we have for each other. We'e been dating off and on for four years and going teady for two years. -- Gay and Joe. DEAR GAY AND JOE: I can't answer your questions because I can't predict the future. The only thing: I can tell you is that try to take in stride whatever might happen. Your steady dating of the past two years may or may not have been habit but starting this fall, you'll be entering new worlds with new friends and new interests. If you two are booked for a future marriage, that's exactly wihat will take place regardless of what I say or how much you worry. Enjoy the summer. DEAR DAN: My husband works away five days a week and while I've never had any reason to suspect him of anything wrong, I have a jealous streak and we argue all the time. I'm at the point now where I'm going to tell him to get a different job or a different wife. We've only been married a year and except for the first month, I haven't had a moment's peace. It just isn't natural for a newly married couple of 20 to be separated as we are. Don't you agree? -- K.C. DEAR K. C.: You may not have a reason for your suspicious nature but it was bound to come along under the circumstances. Personally, I'd like to see your husband get a job where he can be home each evening and if you talk this over like two adults, instead of demanding, you might have some good results. Sit down together and talk this out. Good luck. DEAR DAN: My friend and I will be high school freshmen this fall and we're terrified of what we face. We graduated from a small school where everybody in the eighth grade knew everybody in the first grade and the thoughts of going into a high school where the enrollment is nearly 4,000 is something we dread. Can you help us in some way so we'll be prepared for whatever..might happen? -- Two Frightened Girls. DEAR GIRLS: The size of the school shouldn't rattle you. What you want to keep in mind is that every freshman entering the school on the first day will have the same fears and misgivings as you two. If you'd quit worrying, you'd have no problem. This year's graduating class from that same high school has the same fears about college. So, you see, you have nothing to worry about. You think you've got troubles? What about these poor guys of 17 who join the Army or Navy and know they won't be dismissed for home at 3:80? DEAR DAN: I have an uncanny ability to open my big mouth and say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Is this normal for a girl of 14? -- Big Mouth. DEAR BIG MOUTH: At 14 many girls and boys are unsure of themselves, especially where keeping a conversation going is concerned. You'rfe no wbrse off than any of your friends, I know. DEAR DAN: Some nights my boy friend will kiss me as many as six times before I can pull away and go into the house and other nights he'll just mumble good night and walk awav. What's wrong with him? -- Anxious to Know. DEAR ANXIOUS: Something must be troubling him unless he's playing hard to get. Some boys do this once in a while just to see if the girl will bring up the subject of no goodnight kiss. Want to speak up? DEAR DAN: This is a problem three of my friends have as well as myself and I'm sure other girls have it too. We graduated from high school early in June and because none of us intend to go to college, we want to get jobs as soon as possible. The trouble is that around here there are no jobs available. We have two factories and I don't feel I should waste a four-year commercial course on factory work. There have never been many job opportunities or future here for young people and the adults can't see it. I like my hometown but making a living here is out of the question. We four girls want to move to a nearby large city where we'll have better job opportunities and can lead our own lives. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not abandoning my parents now that I'm out of high .school but I have my life to lead and I should be able to, ^don't you think? My parents are disappointed in me but won't stand in my way. G. DEAR G. You're right in saying this is a problem common to many communities and many high school graduates. You're right enough so I have to agree with you. I hate to see families break up but parents can't expect to keep their children home indefinitely. Here in my own community we have the same situation. Except for downtown businesses, stores and the like, jobs are seasonal. You can't keep a boy tied down at the local shoe store when he has a flair for electronics. Neither can you keep a girl in a factory or a mill when her heart is set on an office job, new friends and new social outlets. Parents know as much deep down in their hearts but it's tough to recognize. Go and good luck. DEAR DAN: How can you refuse a boy a dance without making a scene or hurting his feelings? Don't tell me to say "I'm sitting this one out" because I've used that excuse all I can. I don't like this boy and I don't want anything to do with him. -- B. R. DEAR B. R.: You can use the "I'm not dancing this one" time after time. That's about the only thing you can say and still remain diplomatic. Anything else you might say would be downright rude. DEAR DAN: Why do parents complain so much about today's dances when they had their own dances 15 and 20 years ago and they were just the same as ours? -- Curious. DEAR CURIOUS: The principal reason is that because, regardless of an adult's age, he usually thinks his teen-age generation was the living end and anything el«Q is a poor Imitation. I'm as guilty as the next one about this. 1 might say" the twist is kookie but we had jitterbugglng In my day and If that wasn't kookie, nothing was. Too bad we grow up.

Over a period of many her creative energy and her years Miss Porter has devoted great gifts as a story teller to this major work, weaving its many strands into a rich, vari-colored fabric. It is a novel on the grand scale, and its endless variety of scenes and characters is the variety of life itself. Comedy and tragedy, love and death, boredom and adventure, pain and pleasure -- all are witnessed in the lives and actions of the ship's company of the German freighter-passenger ship Vera embarked from Veracruz, Mexico, and destined for Bremerhaven, Germany. The story covers a period of twentyseven days in the year 1931. Many of the passengers are Germans, returning to their homeland from Mexico; the sensual Rieber, publisher of a ladies' garment trade magazine who has designs on the coquettish Lizzi; Professor and F r a u H u t t e n , a c h i l d l e s s couple, and their seasick dog, Bebe, whom they dote upon; Baumgartner, a hopeless drunkard whose law practice failed in Mexico City; Karl Glocken, a hunchback who has sold out his little tobacco and newspaper stand in Mexico; Graf, a dying religious enthusiast who believes he has the power of healing. Also aboard is a corrupt, avaricious zarzuela company of Spanish singers and dancers who scheme to defraud the. other passengers of their money. And there are four Americans; William Denny, a Texas chemical engineer on his way to Berlin; Mary Treadwell, a woman of forty-five and divorced; David Scott and Jenny Brown, two young painters living together who torment and love one another in turn. Down in the steerage are more tharw eight hundred migrant work-*' ers, a surging mass of unfortunate humanity being deported to Spain after the failure of the sugar market in Cuba. In the mingling and meeting of these various personalities, from the incidents on board ! ship -which affect their lives, I this story is fashioned. In each life, the drama of good and evil has taken place. The worl(^ was then on the edge of ca-% tastrophe and people were blind to the imminent disaster. This is revealed in episodes of personal unkindness and cruelty, stubborn prejudices and the reciprocal and destructive hatred between Jew and Christian. Katherine Ann Porter has succeeded in creating the brilliant panorma of life in all its glory ancL depravity. Her "Ship of Fools'^, is the ship of humanity, and it is an unforgettable master- . piece. "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN", by Harriet Beecher Stowe (1952 published) It was just 100 years ago that this famous American novel was published, with unprecedented success. At once a cause and an outcome of a great national struggle, it be-» came immediately an international sensation and one of the most influential and widely read novels in our literature. Its amazing vitality has lasted throughout the intervening century; a poll of more than 3,000 libraries, conducted by Dodd, Mead and Co. in 1952 for desirable additions to the Great Illustrated Classics, resulted in an overwhelming^ first choice for "Uncle Tom's ^abin." This new centenary edition contains sixteen fullpage illustrations and a special n t r o d u c t i o n b y L a n g s t o n Hughes. JOINS FHA COMMITTEE William S.
