Behind her, ranged on two shelves, gleamed the bindings of different editions of the four books that in five years have established this dark - haired, 39-year-old mother of two as a Canadian writer of rare prom- ise and productivity, As she spoke--hesitantly at first, as If shy of expressing be- liefs that might sound preten- tious in words--it became clear that the strength of her novels springs from a deep, compas- sionate interest in people as in- dividuals. "If I believe anything, it's in the unique quality of human life, and it has to be observed in terms of one by one. I don't 'the masses.'"" |FIRST ABOUT CANADA | What critics have called her |"'rare perception of life' has distinguished all her work -- her widely-praised first novel, This Side Jordan, a collection of West Africah short stories en- |titled The Tomorrow - Tamer, her Somaliland travel book The |/Prophet's Camel Bell and above all her 1964 novel The Stone Angel. This was her first jnove! with a Canadian setting! jand the book that has given her! most satisfaction. A powerful tale of an author- itarian 90-year-old woman re- living her past in a small Ca- nadian prairie community as death approaches, it won a rave reception from critics on both sides of the Atlantic. It also triumphantly proved to the former Margaret Wemyss of Neepawa, Man., that she could write convincingly about her homeland and her own people. She had already won wide ac- claim for her sensitive under- standing of the African temper- ament in the stories she wrote while living in Ghana and So- maliland with her civil engineer husband--a gift she describes as "mostly an intuitive thing," "T think I went about as far as I could in getting under the skin of the African characters, if indeed I did, Ultimately one's own people are what one knows best, or should." BOOK JUST FINISHED Having made this break- through, her next novels will explore Canadian themes fur- ther. The morning of our inter- view in her rambling, grey stucco home she had just sent off her latest manuscript, a Lionettes, Mrs. William Borrow- dale, Mrs. Peter Andre and Mr. Alfred Pucher, chairman of sight conservation for the Lions' Club, Mrs, Suddard and Mr. Davies were awarded prizes for being holders of the lucky cup and saucer. think there is such a thing as Canadian Writer Of Rare Promise! Produces Four Books In 5 Years sing tiga * win annals Douglas Street Pair Honored On Silver Wedding Anniversary Mr. an dMrs. George Pow- lenchuk, Douglas street, were the honored guests at a sur- prise dinner party held in the St. Mary's hall, Bloor street east, on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary. A corsage and boutonniere were presented to the bride and bridegroom upon their arrival and they were blessed with bread and salt in the Ukrainian tradition by Mr. and Mrs. Leon Krout. They were escorted to the head table, where over 100 guests were waiting to greet them. The Reverend Peter Za- paryniuk said grace before a hot dinner was served by mem- bers of the family. The head table was centered by a three- 2 'more MARGARET LAURENCE short novel of 60,000 words, to her London publisher. The fruit of eight months' |work, it has a Canadian prairie setting similar to that of "The Stone Angel." Like the earlier book, it explores one main character in depth, and the plot again will be dominated by the theme that runs like a strong |thread through all Margaret |Laurence's fiction--the struggle lof the individual to break free from the destructive influences of his or her past, whether re- ligious, family or environmen- tal. "T guess I'm obsessed with \the nature of freedom,"' she said thoughtfully. Then, with a flash of amusement: "That sounds very pretentious, doesn't it?" Margaret Laurence has none of tine somewhat grandiose con- cepts of a novelist's art that some authors produce for inter- views. She speaks with blunt honesty. BOREDOM I8 SIN Mordecai Richler -- said the only responsibility of the novel- ist is that he shouldn't bore the reader. I agree with that. "What I really care about as a novelist is whether the char- acter comes across as a con- vincing, paradoxical human be- ing." Her novels spring initially from characters rather than ab- stract ideas. She usually has the bare bones of the plot in mind when she starts to write, characters assume a life of their own. Her daily writing routine starts immediately after David, 10, and Jocelyn, 13 go to school. She writes in longhand in scribblers, "anywhere where it's warm," often at the kitchen table. She finds it hard to get started, but once away writes "compulsively," and is always reluctant to stop. 'I don't want to sound mysti- cal about this, but writing a novel is, well, an act of faith in oneself . . . you can only "Someone ~ I think it was) write what is in you to begin with. Either it's there or it isn't." She rarely reads over her previous work until the com- pleted novel is ready for re- drafting--and usually cutting -- on the typewriter. Speaking of Canadian writ- ing, Mrs. Laurence said she was encouraged by the new horizons opening up, with Ca- nadian publishers becoming venturesome" and gradual withering-away of self- consciously Canadian epics -- "what I call the Maple Leaf) Forever school." "What really upsets me) about Canada is all this sitting around in conferences worry- ing whether we have a culture or a literature--we're not going to get either by talking about hg She started writing at the age |. 00 p.m, in Brooklin United of eight and her mother, a school teacher, was her first critic, "She never laughed, which must have been quite a strain." After the graduating from University of Manitoba in 1947\ists she reported and reviewed books for the short-lived co-op- erative paper the Winnipeg Cit- izen. She still does occasional free-lance work for British pub lications. Her first published stony, The Drummer of all the world, based on her.

Mrs. Powlenchuk, the former Mary Lemere, daughter of the late Mr. George Lemere, and Mr. Powlenchuk, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Powlenchuk, were married Noy- ember 16, 1940 in St. George's Anglican Church with the late Reverend David M, Rose offici- ating. The bride's attendants were Mrs, John Semchuk, Win- nipeg; Mrs. Michael Kuzenko and Mrs. Milton Bryant, both of Oshawa, The bridgeroom's attendants were his cousin, Mr. | George Powlenchuk and his brother, Mr. John Powlenchuk, both of Oshawa. Mr. and Mrs. Powlenchuk have two daugh- ters, Sharon and Debbie. Mr. Michael Kalynko, the| master of ceremonies, intro- duced the head table guests and Mr. Remi Raizenn presented a sum of money to the honored} guests on behalf of relatives and | friends. A message of congra-| tulations was received from the Honorable Michael Starr and Mrs. Starr. The evening was spent in dancing. SOCIAL NOTICE FORTHCOMING MARRIAGE Mr. and Mrs. Robert A.

They were able to trace them and buy them back at the same price, teacher striving to come to terms with his rejected tribal past, set against the finely-ob- served backdrop of a_ black- and-white society in ferment on the eve of national independ- ence. cs Looking back, Mrs, Laurence said she had been a "'liberal humanist" then, believing all problems could be solved by people of good faith.
