"Ordeal of Three Doctor!?" by Elizabeth Seifert Rich,, strong willed Janet Duke did not consult her son when she planned his future for him. As soon as he had completed his surgical residency, she surprised hfm with a gift of a completely equipped office in the local bank building. He could live at home with her. There would be plenty of time later on, she told -herself, for him to marry Litton Fisher, the pretty blonde daughter of a well-^to-be rancher. Unhappily, Andrew agreed to go along with his mother's plans for awhile. He felt rewarded when the other two doctors in town asked him to join them in a newly formed partnership. Then learning that Jon was in love with Linton, Janet began to live up to her reputation as a troublemaker. Here set in a mountain town in Idaho, is an absorbing realistic novel of three doctors and of the men who, for good or bad, play a crucial role in their lives. "Report to Greco" by Nikos Kazantzakis "Report to Greco" is comparable in importance to The Education of Henry Adams." It is not a formal autobiography, but rather the summing up, by a great artist, of a lifetime's idear., work, eyperienres ar.d friendships. In it, Kazantzakis searches, .for the roots of his; own genius, describes his early interest in Nietsche, his apprenticeship with Henri Bcrgson, his travels through Russia in the early days of the revolution, his tempestuous and deeply moving friendships and loves and the agonizing and never ending process of artistic development that culminated in a whole series of inspired masterpieces. It is a book of epic themes, dominated by Kazantaakis agonized search for a means to combine his love of life and art with his ceaseless quest for spiritual touch, a quest [hat led him from Bergson to Jrcud. to Lenin, to Buddha, compelled by a deep desire to bring about, not only in art, but in life a spiritual revolution. Kazantzakis has been acclaimed as one of the truly great writers of our century by both Albert Schweitzer and Thomas Mann. "The Great Salad Oil Swindle" by Norman C. Miller In this fascinating and revealing book, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter tells the whole incredible story of how one man's manipulations of millions of gallons of nonexistent salad oil threw two Wall Street brokerage houses into bankruptcy, caused the demise ©S an important subsidiary of the American Express company and wrecked the stability of the stock market here and abroad. ' On Nov. 18, 1963, Allied Crude Vegetable Oil Refining corporation, Anthony De Angelis, president, unable to meet more than 30 million dollars in margin calls went into bankruptcy. When this news hit W a l l S t r e e t , t h e b o t t o m dropped out of the commodities market ar.d the financial Establishment faced a 150 million dollar swindle, apparently masterminded by Tino De Angclis. How did he almost corner the soybean oil market ? How did he get the American Express Field Warehouse company to certify that his^,tanks contained soybean oil, when they did not? How was he able to persuade highly respected banks in New York to lend him millions of dollars on the basis of phony warehouse receipts? These are the questions that Norman C. Miller, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Salad Oil Swindle, explores as he traces Do Angelis' progress from hog butcher to tycoon, to convicted swindler. "Never Call Retreat" by Bruce Cat ton The final volume of Bruce Cat ton's monumental centennial history of the Civil War traces the war from Fredericksburg through the succeeding grim and relentless campaigns to a courthouse at Appomattox and the death of Lincoln. This is an eloquent study of the bitterest years of the war when death slashed the country with a brutality unparalleled in the history of the United States. Through the tone and temper of the struggle, two men. different, but similar in dedication to their awesome tasks, grappled with the burden of being leaders both in politics and in war. In the North Lincoln remained firm in the belief that a house divided against itself could not stand. His determination and "vision of the destiny of the country and its people far transcended the tensions, fears, and frustration^ of his cabinet and of Congress. Mr. Lincoln's use of vast resources is brilliant contrasted to Davis' valiant struggle for political and economic stability in a hopel e s s l y u n d e r d e v e l o p e d s o u t h . While Davis never lacked for spirit and dedication, his handicaps were severe. Mr. Lincoln wns able to expand and intensify the ideals that sustained the Northern war effort, but Mr. Davis was never able to enlarge that of the South. The closing chapters of the war are movingly told, with that supremely artful choice of the words of the men and women involved, with irony, TIDY CARPETS RUGS Buy your Christmas gill carpeting now!

"The Lord Jesus" by Robert Payne Whenever they saw him in the streets of Capharnaum, the townspeople were struck by the beauty of his expression, his strange manner of walking, the way his hands were always in movement. His long face, the auburn hair which reached to his shoulders, the deep set and widely spaced eyes, the small forked beard and the brilliant smile, all these they noticed and remembered, but it was always more difficult tp conjure up his whole presence. There was something wayward, and oven foreign about him. Who was this young man Jesus. Wiom the Gennesareth fishermen had befriended ? Could the rumors be true that he was the Messiah whose coming had been proclaimed by the hermit Johanan? Robert Payne describes the life of Jesus from the\time of the calling of his first disciples to the reunion and final parting from them after his crucifixion. In the beautiful prose of which he is master, he reenacts the events of Jesus' life with a wealth of convincing detail. "Slowly, By Thy Hand Unfurled" by Romulus Linncy "Slowly, By Thy Hand Unfurled" is a highly dramatic novel, full of color and suspense. But its final strength rests in its naked yet compassionate treatment of human guilt and suffering. The book takes the form of a remarkable diary out of the American past, written by a nameless and almost illiterate woman, who records a dark journey toward a meeting with herself and a judgment of her life. In her journal, she struggles in confusion to pierce the narrow limits of her understanding, of her time and place, •cept Lon : -hide fr realities of her nature. Her language is blunt and deformed, as she is, but it also reaches toward lyricism as she gropes dimly for understanding, oiler outrageous self- deceit, her sometimes distorted and sometimes acute observations of others, her fierce righteousness slowly reveal the discrepancy between what she professes and what she practices, as a mother, a wife, and a member of her community. "The Knndy Kolored of the self-deception she has practiced to from the Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby" f'• by Tom Wolfe ^ Adult Readers of the New York Herald Tribune and Esquire discovered a couple of years ago that probably the most contemporary writer in America today is a brilliant young name of Tom Wolfe. They have been talking happily about his ever since. Now the rest of us can see what the excitement is all about. In his first bi>ok, a gathering of his best work, Tom Wolfe takes a sharp eyed look at the American scene, and zeros in on the new exotic l#rms of status seeking, social, cultural, and otherwise, th;it are flourishing across the country from New York to Los Angeles. A central notion threading through Mr. Wolfe's rich assortment of observations is that recent years have seen the emergence of a good many intriguing art forms and styles of life, having nothing at all to do with the "elite" culture of the past. Vulgar and common to the Establishment, they really express the ordinary American's sense of form and beauty. The Twist, the Beatles, the Surfers,Xhe Bouffant Hairod's, the Drag Racers are all expressions of this exuberant new culture, which might be called Postwar Teenage. Another example is the incredibly stylized custom cars ("kandykolorcd tangerine-flake streamline babies") that California kids design and pWxluce with single minded artistia decision. And the epitome of uhis, pop culture, is the neon cit\ of Las Vegas, apart from Versailles, the only architecturally uniform city in the Western World. "The Rabbi" by Noah Gordon Adult Fiction "The Rabbi" is Noah Gordon's first novel and it immediately establishes him as a writer of major importance and impressive achievement. It is the story of Michael Kind, born Rivkind, a boy growing up in the huge ghetto of Jewish neighbors which spreads throughout the area of New York, and of how his life is influenced by three unforgettable men: Isaac Rivkim a superbly drawn grandfatb who links him with the rich, tragic past of his people; Rabbi Max Gross, a desperately poor orthodox immigrant, who troduces him to an unchanging God: and Abe Kind," his fathe^ In response to one of the nation's problems private enterprise launches STEP. g America iref carefully verified, wri^en up in case $ l^ae available without charge.

The National Association of Manufacturers has launched a large-scale, practical program called STEP (Solutions To Employment Problems). STEP is searching ^merica to find proven solutions. Re-X ported solutions ar^ study form, and m? Example: the STEP case study that shows how private enterprise in Bedford, Ohio and the Bedford High School started a program to " teach industrial skills in demand in the local area. Working from actual plans of products made by Bedford companies, and using over one million dollars worth of equipment contributed by local firms, the students showed great interest and aptitude: the school's dropout rate was cut to half the national average; every graduate has found a job; and the local shortage of skilled workers has been relieved.For more information, write to STEP, National Association of Manufacturers, 277 Park Avenue, New York, N.

Interwoven with the tender love story of Michael Kind's marriage to Leslie Rawlins, a daughter of a Congregational minister, are his experiences as a circuit riding clergyman in the O/.arks, rabbi in a raceconscious Georgia town, and in many parts of the country. "The Rabbi" is the story of how a twentieth century boy comes to devote his life to serving an ancient set of ethics; but more, The Rabbi is about a good man striving to do good works in a world that often seems top distracted for goodness. Noah Gordon's book is about a rabbi who married a convert and raised two children in a Gentile-dominated society. "The Rabbi" is not merely a Jewish novel, it is an American novel. PRESENT REVIEW The second of the "Creative Living" series sponsored by th£- woman's guild of the Woodstock Fine Arts association will be held in the Woodstock Opera House Thursday morning, Nov. 18, at 10. The program is the well - known Chicago teacher and book reviewer, Stuart Brent, reviewing the recently published novel, "The Source", written by James Michener. Coffee will be served in the green room immediately following the program to meet Mr. Brent and discuss his program with him. Tickets are available at the box office. A season ticket for this and the remaining four programs still offers a savings over the single admission purchases. A lot of worry can be wasted on other people. hkm- CHORAL GROUP TO GIVE CHRISTMAS "MESSIAH" DEC. 5 OPEN Sunday Daily 9-9 Saturday I ' M 9*6 ON ALL 1965 BUICKS & OLDSMOBILES ^ It irvi '1 s *' • Late purchases by us brinq addilicnal savinqs to you from COLLINGBOURNE BUICK.
