ANNE or ones oaauzs

These are the days when many roads lead to Cavendish, or Avon- t,..,,, the lovely "Anne of Green iiables" country. In his stimulat- mg new book, "Creative Writing ill Canada". Desmond Pacey, head at the English Department. of the iiniversity of New Brunswick since 1944, devotes a number of para- ;gi'al)llS to Anne. He quotes Mark liiyiiiii as calling Anne, "the dear- psi, and most delightful child since Alice in Wonderland." Mr. Pacey grates that. ”Suprcme Court just- res unashamedly wept over it, and the needs of households were so yager to read it that their children iiirdly had a chance." And he uiicludes, "the whole book ach- .e'.'es a quaint and naive perfec- 3011 that is fresh and charming Hill,"

on a flawless summer's day last .if'El'l, I sat in our garden and read it very happily for myself. The iwirr-L breeze was a blended per- Mime, with a dash of salt. of wild flSi'S and syringa, sun-warmed zpriice and newly-cut hay, clover and hay-berries and ripe straw- nvrries. Birds triiled and whistled .ill(l flew down to the fountain foi' .i quick sin and shower. The blue ll.'iliiliS were just a few yards away.

I pretty teen-ager she said she and her friends liked Anne because, "she is as brattish as the rest of us and her imagination runs away with her as ours do". Mothers and older sisters feel that Anna's aiiveness and frankness and ad- venturous spirit. act as spurs to the timid ones.

Perhaps this value was ' A by the author. for as I read on, I found myself absorbed in a phase of the book not generally recog- nized. (Of course a farmer no- tices fields and crops as he goes by, while his friend, an engineer, notices bridges and other struct- ures). An amazing number of fine insights into child nature and guidance and education are-scat- tered through the pages. For cx- ample. in describing Anne's school life at the age of fifteen, the author says, "New worlds of thought and feeling and ambition, fresh fascinating fields of unex- plored knowledge seemed to be opening out before Anne's eager eyes. Much of this was due to Miss Stacy's tactful, broad-mind- ed guidance. she led her class to think and explore for themselves and encouraged straying from the old beaten paths to a degree that quite shocked Mrs. Lynde and the school trustees who viewed all innovations on established meth- ods rather dublously,” This was written about I908 and yet is what we call ”modern education".

Then there is the time when Anne refused to go back to school because she felt she had been un- justly punished by the teacher. Instead of being forced to go, nothing was said about it by Ma- rilla and Matthew, her foster par- ents, and she stayed home for several weeks. She finally went back of her own accord.

I like to think too, of the new dress with the fashionable puffed sleeves, ordered for Anne by the shy and gentle Matthew because he wanted her to wear what the other girls had. There are still parents who buy clothes they themselves think suitable for their children. Matthew's way: were al- ways kind and understanding of a child's needs. And as he watched her growing from a frightened too dreamy child into a poised and happy young girl. he concluded, "Well now, I guess she hasn't been much spoiiedu I guess my putting in my oar occasionally never did much harm after all. She's smart and pretty and loving. too. which is much better than all the rest," I think so, too, Matthew.

Alaska's giant Salmon derby became a competition between the sexes April 22, when Mrs. Celeste Gerde won the 325 weekly prize and climbed to the top of the sea- sonal ladder with a 58-pound 12 oz. klpg. She held top place until May 20, when Mrs. Gladys Kiel- fer deposed her with a. 59-pound 18-oz. king. The same day Mrs. Betty Bucey got on the 5th rung when she landed a 50-pound 4- ounce king, and Mrs. Margaret Lane took 'lth prize with a 53- pound 9-ouncer. The top 18 cut- rants on May 20 weighed 50 pounds or more each. Since the largest kings are usually taken in May, flsherfolk had to agree that even if anybody topped Mrs. Kiel- fer, women would be among the high prize winners at the derby'a end. I '

Historians and anthropologists are still scratching their heads over the mysterious article in the Alaska Territorial museum. Why? Because the object of their inter- est is supposed to have been the ancient headdress of ii. Thlinget. Shaped like an owl, it has huge green eyes with red circles around them, leathery ears and a hairy mane. The mystery lay in the mane, The hair couldn't be traced to any animal native to the Yak- ulat region. A sample was sent to a lab for identification, and when the report came back, it was lab-
