Against a background of New York and Paris in the Jazz Age, the Florida boom, gangster rule, speakeasies and the stock market, Mr. Rascoe has written a book peopled with the great names of literature, art, business .and the theaterâ€"W. Somerset ‘Maughan, Otto Kahn, Texas Guinan, T. 8. Eliot, Charles M. Schwab and many others. Anyone who read and en joyed the author‘s first book, "Before I Forget", will not want to miss "We Were Interrupted". "‘Petticoat Surgeon", an autor biography by Bertha Van Hoosen, is another lively and interesting book which has found its way to our shelves recently. It is the story of the struggles of a very determ~ ined woman to make a name for herself in a profession which until recently was open only to men. Incidents and events, some humâ€" orous, some tragic, some triumâ€" phant, some humiliating, are all dealth with _ by the author .in a frank, disarming way. Behind all the episodes which have made up her life, however, is simply the portraitâ€"of a woman and of the people to whom she has brought relief from suffering and with whom she has suffered grief and frustration when disease and death won out over medicalâ€"science. The story of Bertha Van Hoosen is one you will not soon forget. In the field of fiction a book which should make interesting reading is Howard Breslin‘s "The Tamarack Tree". A historical novel laid in the litle town of Stratton Mountain, Vermont, durâ€" ing the presidential campaign of 1540, the book‘s action involves many of the‘townspeople as well as some outsiders who arrive for a three day raily at which one of the candiaates, the great Daniel Websier, is to speak. The profound effect which this rally has on the lives of a dozem.or so characters is old in a lusty and powerful way by Mr. Breslin, who, in addition to writing a very readable book, has through the piot brought forth the whole richness and vigor of early American life. .« Don‘t forget your date next Monday afternoon at the Library to see the Christmas movie "A Litile Child". Everyone is invited, and parents are especially urged to come and bring their children. The time is scheduled for 5 p.m. and the place will be the Library auditorium. w Home for the holiday will be two studentsâ€"from Highland Park. They are Virginia Knox, 2296 Lakeside pl; and Nancy Riggs, 2165 Lakeside. & Home For Holidays Oxford, Ohioâ€"Christmas vaca: tion will begin on Friday, Decemâ€" ber 19, at Woestern College for Women with classes resuming on Tuesday, January 6. ~ it H.

Senators Tell AVC European Aid is In Our Interest In to a letter from m'rcum.u.-u- Vetzrans Committee, which urged support of the Marshall Plan, Senâ€" ator Scott Lucas (D) has replied to Chairman William Steel of the local chapter that aid to Europe serves theâ€"United States‘..best. inâ€" "If we are to keep Italy and France from becoming Communisâ€" tig nations, this aid is essential. It mdvmbou-nbcnd that we are sending this ald pri~ marily in our own interest," Senâ€" ator Lucas wrote in his reply. "With a. Communistic Europe and a Communistic Asia, the United States would indeed be the last bulwark of freedom." "Not a single senator who visitâ€" ed Europe last summer," commentâ€" ed Steel, "opposed aid to Europe." A‘similar letter brought from Senator C. Wayland Brooks (R) the declaration that food or help sent abroad must be used to create work and production there. "Any eontrols imposed upon our own people," added Senator Brooks, "must be based on the same preâ€" mise of increasing work and proâ€" duction." 5 ‘The North Shore AVC chapter | at its next meeting on Tuesday, December 16 at Winetka Communâ€" ity House will discuss the conflict of capitalism and communism, and its solution in Scandinavian counâ€" tries by the famous "Middle Way" of socialâ€"democracy.
