L) y SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, ¥950 § THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE i= PAGE FIVE = -~ Books And Their Authors -- THE CARDINAL'S STORY By Stephen K. Swift Published by the Macmillan Co. of Canada, Limited, Toronto. Throughout the democratic world the drrest, trial and imprisonment of Joseph, Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary created a great sensation. There was. much speculation as to what methods had been used by his Communist inquisitors to turn a strong-minded Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church into a weak confessor of crimes against the Communist regime in his country. At the time of his trial, the story which reached the out- side world did not tell the true facts, nor give the proper picture of what had happened and was happening. In this book, Stephen K. Swift tells the whole story, basing his manu- script on facts presented by forty- two eye-witnesses, and on the official transcript of the trial of the Cardinal, "who was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. The story of the life and work of Cardinal Mindszenty is a compel- ling document. Development of the theme makes clear the mind of the Cardinal, and the motivés which induced him to take a strong stand for Hungarian freedom in the face of the Communist coup which rob- bed his compatriots of their liberty. Cardinal Mindszenty was a great Hungarian patriot and a great churchman. He fought with all the eloquence at his command against secularization of the church schools, and against the imposition of Com- munist doctrines and practices of his people. In this, he felt he was serving the cause of Hungary, even if it meant opposing the dictates of those in power. The methods used by the Red inquisition to secure Cardinal Mindszenty's confession after his arrest are told in detail in the book, and they answer the many questions raised as to why he had confessed. Through mental torture and psy- chological - processes designed to break down his will, he was grad- ually reduced to a state of helpless- ness in which he gave utterance to statements which were, at his trial, distorted to give them the meaning desired by his persecutors. After reading this book, one can under- stand why, at his trial, he agreed to every statement made regarding him by the prosecuting attorney. This book is history. It exposes the methods adopted behind the iron curtain to secure acquiesence with the will of M; w. It reveals Cardinal Mindszenty as a hero and martyr for his country and church. It gives a grim warning of the lengths to which the stooges of Moscow will go to remove all op- position within the countries over which they have taken control. As a warning to those who may still doubt that there is no freedom un- der Communism, it is a powerful document. * % THE WORLD CRISIS IN MAPS By Dimitri Tosevic, Published by The Ryerson Press, Toronto. Published with the essential pur- pose of acquainting and clarifying Canadian public 'opinion with re- gard to the present world crisis and its course, this brochure makes: a dramatic presentation, through maps, of the position in which Can- ada is placed today. A study of these maps makes clear the tre- mendous change which has taken place in the alignment of the na- tions of the world in the last ten years. They show how the shadow of Russia looms heavily over Europe and Asia, and of how, because of geographical considerations, this country is closely involved in the efforts of the democracies to help the encroachment of Communism on lands that are now free, The free Land teachers ope which was envisaged under e Atlantic Charter nas failed to reach fruition, because of the extension of Red domination over so large a part of that continent. The whole series of maps warrant close study, especially those which show how Russia has secured con- trol of natural and industrial re- sources by expanding her bound- aries. The commentary which accom- panies the maps makes quite clear the extent to which the map of the world has been changed even since 1945, and cause serious reflection on what the future holds for those nations which stand in the way of Russian expansion, As Dr. Sydney Smith, president of tne University of Toronto says in a foreword: "In the battle of ideas that was waged with Facsist powers and that now rages between the dem- ocracies and Soviet Russia, wide- spread information is for us the best ammunition. In providing in cogent and attractive form facts relating to the international scene, the author performs a valuable serv- ice in making clearer the issues, pointing out the dangers and there- by deepening our resolution to safe- guard our ideals of the free spirit in a free society." oe oe THE GRANDMOTHERS By Kathleen Coburn, Published by the Oxford Press The 'engaging story of two grand- mothers separafed by thousands of mile8 in space, but scarcely by a a hairsbreadth in insight is told in this book by Kathleen Coburn. However, the book is more than an engaging story. One ofits major attractions is mass of detail about pioneer life in Upper Canada and the social customs of Czechoslovak- ia. But Miss Coburn has handled her background material so deftly that historical information does not impede the flow of the story. The granddaughter of Irish-Can- adian Mary Ann and grandson of Czech Anea Marenka meet in Can- ada during the Second World War. As they talk of their grandmothers the lives of these remarkable women unfcld alternating chapter by chapter, John Hall, Canadian artist, has done 16 line drawings for the book, as well as the particu- larly attractive dust jacket. Kathleen Coburn is on the Eng- lish staff at Victoria College, To- ronto, and is well known for Ll work in connection with the published writings of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. She recently ed- ited a volume of his philosophical lectures. LE BY MOONSTONE CREEK By Kenneth McNeill Wells, Published by the Ryerson Press, Toronto. "By Moonstone Creek" is the sec- ond book on life in the rural On- tario community of Medonte by Kenneth Wells, former Toronto newspaper man. In the first book, "The Owl Pen", Wells related how he and his artist wife settled at | Medonte, between Orillia and Mid- land, about 80 miles north of To- ronto. The new volume is a further account of tHe excitement and ad- venture a city-bred man with a lively imagination can see in country life. The book is attractively illustrat- ed with woodcuts' by Lucille Pille, (Mrs, Wells.) * ok FRANKLIN OF THE ARCTIC By R. S. Lambert, Published by McClelland & Stewart, Toronto. R. S.

This is what Mr. Lambert had in mind with FRANKLIN, Fortunately his 'spec- ial bent is the writing of biograph- ies--he has published many in Canada and Britain for adult readers. So here was a new field in which he could throw himself with enthusiasm. Another asset was his wife, Joyce Lambert, who shares the literary talent of her brother, Guy Morgan, a film-writer. It is inter- esting to notice how radio writing has influenced Mr. Lambert. Thus, in FRANKLIN the highlights of the hero's career have been picked out and underlined while less excit- ing aspects are contained in link- ing narrative chapters. "I am most anxious," says Mr. Lambert "that FRANKLIN OF THE ARCTICE" will find the very real place for which it is intended. From my experience with CBC Broadcasts and from contacts with children's librarians, I know there is a real dearth of good adventure book for children." This is a teen- ager's book and one for parents too. The supreme goodness and bravery in the character of Franklin are a calculated moral lesson. The history of the man who' fought in the famous battles of Copenhagen and Trafalgar and later made four expeditions in search of the North West Passage forms a book Can- adian can be proud of. The maps by Julius Griffith (without which no book of exploration could be com- plete) show details of - the Arctic travels. There are as well special illustrations supplied by the Hud- son Bay Company.

Mission Successful, Shah Leaves Princess Fatemeh, sister of the Shah, Grover Whalen and the Iranian ruler Mohammed Reza Polevi, enjoy a cup of coffee before the Shah and his sister boarded a plane for their homeland. In a farewell press con- ference earlier in the day, the Shah made it plain that he considered his six-weeks tour of the United States was a success. The young monarch spoke of an "understanding" having 'been reached between two sides seeking "truth and honesty." Other parting words of the Shah were, "America, by just listening with sympathy to the problems of other nations, creates the hope that together we might find a much happier world in the future." ~Central Press Canadian.

Ajax Roadway Improvement Is Appreciated Ajax, Jan. 6--The residents of the village welcomed the sight of the road graders and bulldozers which in two short days scarified levelled and resurfaced the Uni- versity Drive from No. 2 Highway as far north as the old Defence Industries entrance. "The mew sur- face of crushed stone is a welcome change from the series of pot-holes which reminded one of King Street in Oshawa. : The mild weather of the past week has brought its share of mud and misery to many people, but all | can be thankful in some degree, as otherwise the road would not have been touched until spring. Ajax Baby First in 1950 To Flo and Lynn Williams of Mary Street, goes the honor of being the proud parents of the first Ajax baby. and also the first baby born in Oshawa General Hospital in 1950.

About 150 mem- bers and their wives enjoyed an evening of dancing and renewing old acquaintances. A sumptuous buffet supper was served. Little Suzanne and Mary Lou Bird of Pine Street attended the Christmas party given to their em- ployees' children by the Highland Dairy in Toronto recently. = The children received gifts of an elec- tric iron just like moms and a junior size piano.

Primary purpose of this pro- motional idea would probably be to illustrate the town's advantages as an industrial site. So far the matter has not gone far beyond coffee shop talk and some discussion by the planning board. On the whole, feeling is that it is an excellent idea and could be worked out. very well. The sticker will probably be: are there -enough agencies and individuals in Whitby _| with enough faith in the future of their town, to put up the hard cash which is essential to see the idea through. It is expected that a thorough discussion of the ques- tion will be heard at the next meet- ing of the Chamber of Commerce. With practically every town clamoring for industrial develop- ment, local people feel that Whitby "has "something on the ball" in this matter, and that the local ad- vantages should be brought to the attention of prospective manu- facturers more forcibly and more Promotion Vital Question frequently, With -its present small budget, the Chamber of Commerce is in no position to do much -pro- motion. . Since the CN.E. is today "the show place of the nation" in a very real sense, it is felt that a Whitby display there might go a long way in the right direction. All details have yet to be worked out. Possibly existing . industries and existing business might take a hand in the proposition but it is more likely the decision would be to "sell" Whitby on its merits as an industrial site. Located in the "Greater Toronto Industrial Area," Whitby has sever= al advantages offered by no other area--Ajax not excepted. Firstly, it hag large industrial sites available at reasonable prices, all within easy access of railway spurs of either rail line. Its harbor is in good con- dition. Its water system is capable of looking after industry. Its sewage disposal system can handle greater volume without further expenditure, Its electrical facilities can" provide power to any industry. Most desir- able of all, is Whitby's location in relation to the Toronto area. Only objection to the C.N.E. dis= play idea would be that from those who are unwilling to expend any money without seeing immediate returns in view, ronto; Mr, and Mrs. Harold Col- ling, Mohtreal, were among the vi- sitors at the Kinsmen's New Year's Eve party at Arbor Lodge.
