Frederick S. Baldi has broken riots, thwarted escapes and ob- served all kinds and degrees of criminals, many of them on the way to the electric chair. He has also been the hero and the goat in public flareups over prison disci- pline. A colourful and controversial fig- ure in penal work he explains how and why he got that way. With peppery, uninhibited candor, he states his views on capital punishment, rehabilitation of crim- inals, prison discipline and _ poli- tics. And what he says may make some sociologists, criminologists and politicians go up in smoke. A prison administrator always has more than his share of off- beat experiences -- some of them grim, a few of them amusing, and all of them exciting. Here the au- thor tells the real story behind _ "Slick Willie" Sutton's unprece- dented getaway from break proof Holmesburg Prison, the Moyanens- ing "oven" deaths that shocked that nation, the Holmesburg Riots in the middle 1930's' and other headline making events. He also describes some of the unforgetable dramas that are enacted every day within the prison walls. This is not a book for.a quiet afternoon's reading. But whether you agree with Dr. Baldi's' ideas, or whether they make you plain mad, you'll still find MY UNWEL- COME GUESTS absorbing, en- lightening and thought provoking. * e ® Small Patients, The autobiography of a children's doctor. By Alton Goldbloom M.D. This is the story of sixty-eight years of an exciting life that rang- es across Canada, the United States and Europe; the adventures of a famous pioneer in pediatrics, who nearly became an actor in- stead of a doctor. Alton Goldbloom's is a success story in the truest sense. His par- ents emigrated from the ghettos of Lithuania to a life of alternate poverty and prosperity in Canada. With humor and affection the author recalls his early orthodox Jewish training, the gradual wid- ening of his horizons, his early ventures into acting, and his rath- er belated discovery of the joys of learning. His nomadic father was deter- mined to make a doctor of his son -- and Alton after wavering be- tween medicine and the theatre, lived up to his father's highest ex- pectations by becoming head of the Department of Pediatrics at McGill University. This part of his saga is also a chapter of child- ren as a separate branch of medi- cine. His account covers important discoveries in the field and many of his own case histories, some comic, some dramatic. Among the friends and mentors whom Dr. Goldbloom remembers are S. N. Bhrman, Stephen Lea- cock, Dr. Emmett Holt, Dr. Fred- erick Bartlett and many others. All of them from his virtous Aunt Nony to democratic Prince Felix of Luxemburg, come to life in Dr. Goldbloom's humorous perceptive narrative. * eR The Status Seakers By Vance Packard In the spring of 1957 Vance Packard's THE HIDDEN PERSU- ADERS burst upon a startled pub- lic and gave the American langu- age a new term. Now he focuses the penetrating beam of his re- search and analysis on the murk- jest, least understood aspect of =< the national scent -- the status and class structure of our society. This is an era in which every- one has opinions and prejudices but few facts. After intensive in- vestigation and hundreds of in- terviews and on the spot checks in key areas throughout the country, Vance Packard now illuminates this shadowy region of conjecture with a brilliant array of facts and findings that will jolt the complac- ent and dismay the dialectians. He finds that there are indeed classes and class lines, but they are more subtle than you imagine. Above all there is a fast emerging status system that is the most im- portant and startling phenomenon of our times. The car you drive, the church you' attend, where you went to school, 'your choice of words, the painting in your wall, the political party' you favor -- all loom increasingly as symbols: of your place in society, i.e., the sta- tus, and label and fix you on a certain rung of the social ladder: With bold strokes and a sane eye, in a fast moving, often witty, sometimes dismaying, but always informative and authoritative vein, Vance Packard paints our national picture and enables every reader to discover who he is, how he measures up, where he is likely to go, and where, by society's covert dicta, he is NOT likely to go. Leffers to the Edifor Dear Sir: Since last winter when I ap- proached the town council about looking into the possibility of a community centre, I have had a number of comments by different townspeople, who were very pleas- ed with the project and hoped that I. could make this come about. That is the part that the town council has questioned, that if so many people' were' - interested, where are they and why haven't they come to council meetings, or placed their desires in letters to council to show their support of such a project. But as yet, I have not had one person come to council or write a letter to show their in- terest. Do the people of MHaileybury think that a one man committee can accomplish things or do they think that I am doing what I have done for selfish reasons? I can assure you that I am not doing this for personal reasons, but for the good of the townspeople, for old and young, for service clubs and other organizations, and for all those interested in recreation. As I said at the council meeting, that people are like sheep and must be led if they wish to fulfil their de- sires. Many people sit and think about all the things that should be done, but do nothing about it, not even when they have someone to help them. In the recent local news- paper, you will see where I have again approached council about a: community centre with some in- formation which I acquired from the Northern Ontario Recreation Association Convention, and with the proper authorities could be used as a guide to construct the need and operation of a centre or the withdrawal of the project. But this depends on these surveys. The questionnaire on the election ballots of whether the townspeople are interested in a centre or not will either give the new council the incentive to take on this project and conduct the survey with your support behind them, or if the Haileybury Personals _ Mrs. H. de Vries and Miss Jean Wilson attended the Baptist Mis- sion Circle Thankoffering held in New Liskeard last week.
