Danger In Latin America

President Eisenhower's journey 150 Panama to attend a conference of government. leaders of the. Amer- ican Republic: has drawn attention to I. fact that is sometimes overlook- ed in public preoccupation with East-West tensions. namely, that Latin America in coming increasing- ly under the pressures of Commu- nistir propaganda. It used to he thought that racial and religious tra- ditions in most of these Republics would insure reasonable immunity from Soviet-directed political infil- tration. Tlwro are indications that that View might be I bit. too san- guine. In the last five years. it has been revealed. Soviet radio broad- casts to South and Central America l-lave been stepped up very consider- ably. For the most part, these broadcasts are aimed at dissident, group: which can generally be found in any of the Latin American coun- l'TlPS----PVPII when no rcvolution is being planiwrl or executed. Rut there are a great. many former East- eni Europeans-whole colonies of them in some areas: and these an beguileri with glowing accounts of conditions "back home". Some of the broadcasts have an ostensible "cultural" content. which may be just as dangerous in its way as out- right political appeals. At the same time. without much fanfare the Russians are offering all aorta of economic aid on better terms. or so they claim. than that offered by the great neighbour to the North, the United States. All this, of cfuirse, adds up to It Irrioila situation -- at least poten- tially--for this hcnusphere, especial- 'ly in view of the fact that. the Latin American population is growing at I faster rate than that of any other region in the Americas. It would be I strangc twist of fortune if. after spending much effort and billions of dollars in trying to keep Soviet in- fluence from spreading in Asia and Africa. the Western nations were to discover some morning that a Com- munist state had developed on their own doorstep.

Wilfred Eggleetaci in the - Winnipeg Free From '

If is lusl about half a century ,':ll'lL'E' Lucv Maud Mnntizomcry put the fimslung touches on a manu- script that was dcstiiiefl to lic- mme one of the spcclacular huh- lishjng events in Canadian liter- ary history.

"Anne of Green tiahles" ran into four Pdll0lIS and sold about 2tl.00t'l copies in tli first six months. which uas impressive enough. But that was only the beginning. It aroused a demand for sequels and similar stories. which kept the author busy writing the rest of her life. It was translated into many languages. was published in Braillr. and it earned sincere and extravagant praise from eminent people. It is still selling by the tlinusands.

The story of this silccmzs has been frequently told. The versions exhibit a considerable amount of variety. and if it now matters very much. which I doubt. it may be. a very difficult. thing to run down exactly what did happen

The account vihich appciirs In have most frequently published is to the effect that l.. M Montgom- pry originally wrote the story as I serial for a Sunday School public- ation. basing it on an idea which she had earlier intted down in her lournal. This read as follows: "I-Elderly f'DLl1lP apply to orphan asylum for a boy By a mistake a girl is sent them." POPULAR ACCOIJNT

At all events. a manuscript was WFIHPI1 Popular account says that

I925. which was nearly two dec- ades after the sensational first publication. she wrote. for a womcn's club in Prince Edward Island. an account which seems to confirm the source. at least. of the book: "in the spring of 1904 l was look- ing over my notebook of plots for an idea for a short serial I had been asked to write for a certain Sunday-school paper . . . Anne be- gan to expand in such I fashion that she soon seemed very real to me. I thought it rather a shame. to waste her on an ephemeral seven-chapter serial. Then the thought came: twrite ii book. You have the central idea and the l'IPI'- oine. All you need to do is to spread it over chapters to amount to I book.

”Tbe result was Anne of Green Gables." PRIVATE LETTER g

This account was written. it seems. in 1926. By an odd quirk. I have recently had.the privilege

- of reading an account of the book

written in a private letter on the very day in 1907 when the con- tract with Page and-Co was sign- ed. This supplies some detail: not found in any version I have yet read It, makes something of a mystery of the S500 outright pur- chase. since it refers to some- thing quite different. a contract on the usual ten percent basis. How- ever. that is a private affair of the author.

The letter was dated May 2nd. I907. and was arlrlresssd to a lit- erary friend In Alberta

"Well." she wrote. "I must simply tell you my great news right. off! To pretend indifference and try to answer your letter would be an' affectation of which I shall not be guilty. I am blatantly pleu- od and proud and happy and I slian't make any pretense of not being so.

I sent. it to the L.C. Page Co. of Boston and I fortnight ago. after two months of suspense. I got. in letter from them accepting my book and offering to publish it on the in per cent royalty basis.

RHYME FOR A RAINY DAY

What have I saved for a rainy day.

Nothing for profit. nothing for pay.

A few old records of songs that hold.

More memories than the tongue has told.

An amber rat. a favorite book.

A certain man with I certain look.

A son who is growing and soon will roam.

But in my heart always be at home.

And last. but not at all the least.

A few good friends. who. like good yeast. .

Give Life the sweet Ind lovely leaven.

That God in His mercy has sent from Heaven.

Those have I saved. these set apart.

Let the clouds coma. let the rains start!

We have been rrluctant to make such a remark. for we recognize that the trend today still is to go on adding piece by piece to our al- ready swollen cities. And. so far as we can see, very little thought is being given to defence against atomic attack in these cities.

With our rapid communications

Thunderstorms. incidentally. are directly related to many lllneuea and even deaths.

ABRUPT caanonlr

The abrupt changes In baro- metric pressure and high humid- ity accompanying a storm can precipitate an asthmatic. attack. And statistics allow that a lllgh number .pf heart failure: occur during thunderstorms.

You have probably noticed that it's much e'asier for you and the children to become irritable and restless on stormy days. It's eas- ier to become ill on such days. too.

For a further example of what the weather might do. lets look at some suicide statistics from Chicago.

These statistics revealed that unsettled. cold. weather brought an increase in the number of slender persons committing sui- cide while those of C0l'ISld2I'8blr: glrtli and weight generally waited for warm weather before ending it all.
