BOOK STORE J. H. Cranston's Memoirs Tell Intimate Story For 56 years Dr. J. H. Cranston, known to a host of friends as "Herb", labored in the field of Canadian journalism. He reached DR. J. H. CRANSTON the heights. For 22 years he was editor of the Toronto Star Weekly, and built it yp from an unimpor- tant struggling publication to a place of leadership in the Canadian newspaper world. Then he resign- ed, and went to Midland, where he spent the next 12 years as pub- lisher of a weekly newspaper, the Midland Free Press Herald. In such a career there was much, of color and incident. Now, after "Dr. . Cranston's death, his memoirs of his newspaper career, in book form, have been published by the Ryerson Press, Toronto, under the title, "Ink on My Fin- gers', While it is essentially an auto- biography, Dr. Cranston's last book is more than that. It is a story involving many other people, in- cluding the greats and near greats of the newspaper profession of Canada' covering a period of half-- century. In telling of his long asso- ciation with the late Joseph Atkin- son, publisher of the Toronto Star, and Harry C. Hindmarsh, who was managing editor of that paper for part of Dr. Cfanston's regime with the Star Weekly, he writes with blunt frankness. He does not pull any punches in his analysis of these leading figures in Cana- dian journalism, but writes of them as he knew them. It makes an interesting story of the inside of one of Canada's outstanding newspapers. But the book is more than that. The story, as it touches on the olitical and social life of the last years, dealing with. education and religious matters as well as the newspaper life, reveals the philosophy of life which carried the writer through the strenuous life of a metropolitan newspaper office to the quieter but infinitely more satisfying life of a weekly newspaper publisher. To those who knew him, the book is simply "Herb"" Cranston as he was, and it is fortunate that he was able to lay down his finished manuscript before he was called to his last reward. Inmates Unguarded In Model Indian A unique experiment in penal reform is now going on in certain model prisons in Uttar Pradesh, relates Government of India In- formation Service. On the premises of one-time Central Jail Lucknow, is now growing up a new colony -- the Model Prison -- with the environ- ment and operation as similar to the world outside as possible. RESEMBLE FARMERS Here and there working on the spacious prison farm, freely, are visible some of the prisoners--the inmates of the Model Prison in plain white civilian dress without any watch and ward or restriction, and hardly distinguisable from their neighboring village farmers except by their cleanliness, health and prosperity. Many work a mile or two away as daily laborers on the brick kilns and these are all long term convicts who, under the orderinary rules of the jail, could never have dreamt of moving out even under watch and ward. Writing in his autobiography about jails, Jawaharlal Nehru, who has spent several years in British jails in India, remarked: "Not the least effort is made to consider the prisoner as an individual and a human being and to improve and look after his mind." Jail Times have now changed, bring- ing in revolutionary ideas and changes in the working of the whole administration. Uttar Pradesh, known for being pioneer in mat- ter of reforms and development in- cluding penal reforms started an experiment of its kind in the In- dian Union. The chief minister, Pandit G. B. Pant, once declared "the 'old methods of jail adminis- tration should be changed and adapted to the new set up of our country. The basic idea underlying | the treatment of the 'prisoners |should be of reformation. They | should no longer be treated as in- human beings." He also emphasized the import- ance of giving prisoners training in technical and vocational sub- jects so that they might be made capable of earning a decent living after release. | LIKE COLONY In 1949 Uttar Pradesh govern- | ment created a "Model Prison" | on the lines of a self-suficient col- | ony with its environment and work- | ing as similar to outside world | as possible, where the inmates of | the prison were to have perfect | freedom to think and shape their lives as they liked.

The "truly phenomenal' growth of the min- eral industry has been spearhead- ing much of the industrial progress in Canada. This is the view pre- sented in Canada 1953, the Gov- ernment's official handbook of present conditions and recent pro- gress, released this week. "Emphasis this year is directed to external relations and mineral development," says Herbert Mar- shall, Dominion Statistician, of this manual which was prepared under his direction. Two special articles chart the developments in these fields. Continuing the series of popular annual volumes, this year's illus- trated 'Handbook shows Canada prgsenting a photogenic, prosper- ous and confident face to the world.

He is now in the hands of a competent and trained staff, specially selected and trained for the work, who make scientific per- sonal studies of every prisoner. At the end of six months, the Selection Board interviews every prisoner at the Reception Centre and those whe show from their past social history, present con- duct, work and record, that they can be relied upon and who have developed a keen desire to stand on their own legs are selected for admission to the Model Prison. Work is worship in the Model Prison. Only those who have an honest determination to lead an industrious life of work, service and sacrifices, find admission. Broadly speaking, the work at the "colony" may be divided into two categories -- essential services necesary for the day to day na- and the work necessary to earn their livelihood. NO COMPULSION - At this institution there is \no force, no compulsion. There is also no forced labor, 'whether in fac- tories, farms, kitchen, canteen or the essential services like hygiene sanitation, food supplies, etc. Authorities use methods of edu- cation, - information. and, at last, | persuasion to bring about the de- sired life and activities. The prison- ers have an opportunity to chalk out their program and measure their progress from step to step through various stages. Finally, they earn the privilege of working, earning and living outside the jail walls without any watch and ward by day or by night, and thus are able to support their dependents, while yet undergoing the term of their sentence.

The m t THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, June 13, 1953 49 Fishermen Mark 300th Anniversary SHINGTON -- Fishermen and lovers this summer are cele- brating the 300th anniversary of 'The Compleat Angler," Izaak on's little book on fishing that became one of English literature's classics. This beloved book has been through nearly 300 editions, says the National Geographic Society: The first, which sold for 18 pence, now is a collector's item worth thousands of dollars. The work German, and two Japanese editors published a Tokyo edition in Eng- lish, "The Compleat Angler or the Contemplative Man's Recreation" was first brought out in May, 1653, for all who 'love quietness, and vertue and Angling." Revised and expanded throughout Walton's life- ing instruction, natural history, anecdotes and homely philosophy. The text is in dialogue, interspers- ed with songs and verses. HAS PASTORAL CHARM With its glimpses of hospitable taverns, happy companionships and flowery river banks. "The Com- pleat Angler' captures the mood of the city man's escape to the country. "No life," wrote Walton, "so happy and so pleasant as the life | of a well-governed angler, for when | the lawyer is swallowed up with | business and the statesman is pre- |* weat to London to become a gentle- man tradesman. . DIED AT 9% Staunch royalist and churchman, he lived through troubled times, was twice widower. and lost eight of his ten children. His genius for friendship; however, made him the companion of some of the era's greatest minds. His vigorous old age was spent with his son-in-law and daughter at Winchester, where he no doubt enjoyed those famous trout streams, the Itchen, Test and Meon. He died in 1683 at the age of 90 and was buried in Win- chester Cathedral. Walton, also noted for his bio- graphies of John Doone, George Herbert, Henry Wotton, Richard Hooker and Robert Sanderson, ed- ited five editions of "The Compleat Angler" during his lifetime. For the fifth, appearing in 1676, his friend and adopted son, Charles Cotton, wrote a second part on fly fishing. : In 1750, a new edition of the "Angler"" was published at the instigation of Dr. Samuel Johnson. Nine more editions were printed in the 18th century, 164 in the 19th, and 109 in the 20th. The first Am- erican edition, 1847, was edited by a clergyman, George Washington Bethune. "This darling book," he called it affectionately.

"The Compleat Angler" has en- dured criticism, praise and edit- |, ing. Despite stylistic flaws and er- roneous or outmoded facts, it has charmed ten generations of read- ers. It has made its author fam- ous as the Father of Angling. 'Honest Izaak' was born in Stafford on August 9, 1593, when Elizabeth I was queen and Shake- speare had just published his first work.
