Her father once spoke of her "necessarily wasted" talents and Noel Coward suggested that she could easily have earned her living on the stage if she had not been born a princess. Behind these two remarks lies the story of the accomplished and vivacious Princes Margaret, daughter of a King and sister to a Queen. Her birth was a public event announced to all the world and since that day in Scotland she has rarely escaped the continuing curiosity of the public. Other girls may go to dances, smoke in public, and fall in love but they do not become front-page stones; Margaret, because she is a princess, is iilk>ays page one material around the world. But behind this facade of newspaperstories and gossip there is a warm and human person who loves her family and friends and wants desperately to find her place in a world over which she has very little control. This is the story of that girl--- from her early years under the -loving care of Granny England to her life at Clarence House in role as ambassadressextraordinary. "THE HOUSE BUILT ON SAND," by Gerald Reitlinger. Hitler's decision to, invacte Russia constitutes one of the turning points of history as well as one of the great historical mysteries. No reasonable explanation can be gt^n tar this act of folly which, by its consequences, transformed Russia from a third Asiatic country into a world power. Hitler's plans and ^motives reveal the inherent contradictions that split his advisors into- Hostile camps and precipitated the collapse of his prodigious project. From sources never used before, including the mass of unsorted docu- ^Jents produced at Nuremberg, Gerald Reitlinger has written the first detailed account of the Russian venture. Beginning with the German negotiations for a pact of friendship in 1939, he traces the vacillations of Hitler's policy and the quarrels with his High Command that eventually cost him his best chief of staff, Franz Holder, and his best field generals, Guderian, Rundstedt and Mannstein, and that-- more costly still-- led him to assume personal direction of the war. The remaining generals were left to struggle against the hard Nazi inner core composed of Hitler, Himmler, Bormann and. Kcitel, as the promise of a vict o r i o u s B l i t z k r e i g a g a i n s t sub-humans" turned into the certainty of slow defeat. ! There was no policy to fall back on. The Russian liberation movement was the antithesis of all that Hitler had preached. The story, both tragic/ and wildly crazy, of that njfii'ement and its army forms tffe second part of this authoritative and dramatic book. "A DISTANT TRUMPET," by Paul Horgan. In spirit, this magnificent novel of American life is romantic; in substance, historical; and in scale, heroic. The W a r a n d t h e W e s t a r e i t s t w o background themes. Though the main story occurs in the 1880's it has its beginning in, and is affected by forces arising out of the Civil War; and the chief scene of action is an Army outpost on the Indian frontier in the southwest United States. > • " When Matthew Carlton Hazard received his commission from West Point in June, 1880, he fulfills an ; ambit ion dating from his childhood encounter with President Lincoln.

"THE SPRINGS OF ADVENTURE," by Wilfrid Noyce. Why do men seek adventure? What is the lure that makes them want tcf climb sheer cliffs, or ice, to challenge the ocean in frail craft, to grope blindly deep in icy waters, to forsake comfort and security to seek the mysterious rewards of adventure? Wilfrid Noyce, poet, scholar, and mountaineer who climbed Everest with Hillary, has long sought in his own mind the answer to this question -- or the many answers, for it is a question that concerns the motives of man and there is no simple reply. Wilfrid Noyce is particularly fitted to examine this fascinating realm, for he brings to it the heart and experience of the 'true adventurer and an extraordinary writing talent. In this vivid and poetic exploration into the reasons for doing bold arid dangerous things, the author calls upon a roster of the great fighters against Nature to speak their thoughts and feelings, and retells their high moments of triumph. Was it simply to escape that they sailed away? It is surprising how many people take to an adventurous life quite simply because they are fed up with the office, the factory, the classroom-- and then go on from there. Was it danger they sought? "Of course there's danger;" said Lindbergth; "but a certain emount of danger is essential to the quality of life." For the balloonist, the skier, the glider, the undersea diver, there is the pleasure of motion, the pleasure of fitness and health, the animal pleasure of doing certain things well. Then there is ihe man who likes doing a thing because he does not like it; "Polar exploration is at once Ihe cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised," said one. Fame and money, both outward visible rewards for what one does, must play a part. Many who go adventur- Octopus InYour Cornfield? Have you noticed an octopus in your cornfield? Not a real one of course, but an octopus-like weed called quackgrass which forms underground tentacles to\choke off corn and lower yields. Quack grass is becoming serious parts of the is a new way enfc perennial. Experiment stations and agri cultural authorities advise that farmers who face the quackgrass problem may find the answer with Atrazine herbicide. For quackgrass control, farmers should make one broadcast application of Atrazine on growing quackgrass at least three weeks before plowing. Then, a second Atrazine application should be made at planting time to control annual broadleaf weeds and grasses, and to finish off any persistent quack. If control measures are not taken, quackgrass spreads so rapidly that it can soon drain acreage of vital soil moisture and plant food nutrients needed by corn for highest yields and greatest profit. Farmers in this area who face the threat of quackgrass in their cornfields would do well to acquaint themselves with the facts on this new method of control. A pamphlet on quackgrass control may be obtained free of charge by writing to Geigy Agricultural Chemicals, Department WN, Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, N.

I have opened hundreds of courtroom doors in" many states, but the excitement has never been diminished. Indeed it has grown. The challenge is ever new. The contest is ever intense. Surprise is ever present. The satisfactions of a noble calling are unique and bright. In a book that is packed with more %xcitem£nt, drama and suspense than any fictional mystery, Louis Nizer, one of America's most famous, trial lawyers, recounts some of his most fascinating and significant cases. To his legal memoirs he brings a brilliant mind, wit, compassion, and a narrative style and precision of utterance -- qualities rarely found in one writer. Louis Nizer's court victories are as varied as the personalities of the clients he has represented and in "My Life Tn Court" his versatility is proven in many different types of trial litigations, arming them: Libel -- One of his most brilliant cases was the "**11bti suit of Quentin Reynolds against the columnist Westbrook Pegler. The outcome was not only a personal vindication for Reynolds but a triumph for the cause of responsible journalism. There is also the timely and fascinating account of the suit of Professor Foerster vs. Victor Ridder in which the issue of Nazism in America during World War II is brought to light in new perspective. Divorce -- It is Louis Nizer's experience that litigations between husbands and wives exceed in bitterness and hatred those of any other relationship. He explores the numerous causes of dissolving a riage and recounts the se tional divorces of Billy Rose and John Jacob Astor as well as the plight of a woman who found herself married to a fetishist. Negligence -- In two exciting and dramatic cases. Louis Nizer depicts the suit of a husband Plagiarism -- One of the most difficult things to prove in a court of law is plagiarism, and in the famous case of "Rum and Coca Cola," Louis Nizer demonstrates his keen knowledge of music by disproving one of the country's leading music experts. Corporation -- Louis B. Mayer's fight to recapture control of the 250 million dollar MGM movie empire is a vivid story of an industrial war as stormy and suspenseful as most war stories. Ihe author of What To Do With German (which General Eisenhower distributed to his troops overseas), "Thinking on Your Feet," and Between You and Me," Louis Nizer has written what will undoubtedly be recognized as a classic of its kind.

Volunteers may select the country where they prefer to serve. College graduates with degrees in agronomy, horticulture, engineering, vocational agriculture and home economics are also in demand in many countries, particularly in Latin American. Countries that have requested farmers and agricultural specialists include India. Malaya, North Borneo and Sarawak. P h i l i p p i n e s , T h a i l a n d , T r u s t Territories, El Salvador.

Economist Sinierl Says: Farmers h a v o asjjed for more information about the group of nations in Europe that have joined together to form what we call the Common Market. Farmers ask what these countries buy from us now and what they are likely to buy from us in future years. The Common Market uroup includes six retrular members - West Germany, The Netherlands. Belcium. Luxembourg, France and Italy. Greece is an associate member. Several other countries, notably England, may join the group. The object of the organization is to improve economic conditions in the member countries. -This is being done by eliminating tariffs and other legal restrictions on trade among the member nations. But the group will establish and keep uniform tariffs and other restrictions on Imports from non-member countries. These countries seek to have free trade among the member countries just as we have free trade among our states. And just as our tariffs are the same at every port from Los Angeles to Boston, all of the ports in the Common Market countries will have the same tariffs. These changes in trade policies are being made gradually, especially on farm products. It may be ten years or more before the new trade policies become completely effective on agricultural products. Thus the impact of the Common Market on U. S. farm exports will be spread over several years. Among the Common Market countries W e s t' Germany and The Netherlands are our biggest customers. Each bought about $323 million worth of our fa nil products in the year ending' last June 30. All together the Common Market nations bought from us farm products valued at $1,130 million, or 23 percent of our total agricultural exports. But these figures does not show the full importance of the purchases by the Common Market group. These countries are all good cash customers, while our exports to some other nations are largely foreign aid.
