Eventually he was seriousy injured in a plane crack-up and was invalided to Can- ada, where he expects to receive his discharge shortly, Bringing his fam- fly with him he was unable to se- cure housing accommodation else~ where and has lved at Pickering Beach for several months, Recently however, he secured a home at St, Hilaire sur Richelieu in the Prov- ince of Quebec, to which he is mo- ving his family and then will enter hospital for treatment, 3 To Write Memoirs Later he expects to write his memoirs, which will be published simultaneously in England and the continent, He then hopes to return to France with his family to re- sume permanent residence there, The chateau which he and his wife ocoupled, some miles from Paris, was seized by the Germans early in the war and used as headquarters for officers, It is now being ococu- pled by the French Government for accommodating refugees, but the Endersby's hope to regain posses- sion of it and restore it to its for mer beauty, Canadian Book List Shows Our Literature Thriving With the nation-wide observance of Canadian Book Week, tal place this week in most large an small centres across Canada, Mrs, H. Bracey, Librarian of the Whitby Public Library has issued a list of all the new books by Canadian authors which are available now at the Library, Canadian Book week is celebrated to focus public attention on the enormous strides made by Cana- dian authors during the past few years in Seveloping a native liter. ature, From the following list it will easily be seen how many books, largely about Canada and Cana- dians, have been published in this country recently. A Backward Country Critics have many times noted | © that a country without a native literature and culture is a back- ward country, and it is only recent- ly that Canadians have been able to write for the national market, rather than for tlie American mar- ket which offers so much more ine centive in the way of circulation and profits, To the present very few authors have been able to support theme selves on what they can earn by writing for Canadians, but within the last few years several books have been written which have gain- ed a wide audience in Canada and have given both authors and pub- lishers sufficient encouragement to make larger plans for the future of Canadian literature, Recommended Reading The following books by Canadian authors are recommended for your reading.
