National publishers have been asked to submit books for consid~ eration by the Board of Judges. The only requisite is that such manuscripts be written by South ern authors, or be of special in terest to Southern readers. Two primary objectives of the club are to help develop undiscovered Southern talent and to develop further the Southern book market. Club membership will be sought primarily frorm the small towns and rural areas not having easy access to regular book outlets, Final Authority The board of judges is the final authority on book selections. The advisory board is composed of In glis Fletcher; Harnett Kane; Edi son Marshall; Ward Morehouse; Medora Field Perkerson; Archi bald Rutledge; Marian Sims, and Dr. Rufus Harris, president of Tulane University. “Our purpose is to encourage Southern writers without limiting their scene,” Albert Love, presi dent, Southern Book Parade and Tupper and Love, stated. “In launching the Southern Book Parade, we feel we are of fering Southern authors an un paralleled opportunity to get their work before the public, Further more, we are giving Southern readers a better chance to enjoy the creations of talented people from their own section.” doesn’t have {o wear elevator shoes.

Y. — (NEA) — Just because a man lives in Brooklyn, where nary a buffalo roams, is no reason why he can’t be a rancher. Clayton Williams is a case in point. He lives in Brooklyn and owns a ranch, Behind his two-family, attached WANT TO TRADE? Your ‘46, ‘A7, ‘4B or ‘49 Car i - For A , Brand - New ‘sl PLYMOUTH | | A Real Good Deal _ Awaits You At 5 L ). SWANTON IVY, Inc. B 154 W. Hancock Ave. Phone 1487 THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORG brick ranch-house, Williams has a garage. In the garage he has 100 head of Chinchilla. That is the Sunset Chinchilla Ranch, and Williams will feud with anybody who says it isn’t a ranch. Actually, chinchilla ranching is only a sideline for him. He's an embalmer who bought two pair of the rodents with the expensive fur coats five years ago. Now his garage i 3 lined Wwith neat, clean cages housing more than 100 chin chillas, systematically paired off to encourage nature. “1 read an article five years ago,” says rancher Williams, lean ing up against the barn (garage). “It kind of intrigued me. You see, I'm a Wisconsin farm boy, and it's hard to get farm life out of your blood. This way, I get a little of it right here in Brookiyn.” * *® * Chinchillas are valuable little critters. They look like small eared rabbits, with small, bushy tails. Their fur is soft and gray —Williams calls it “blue gray” and the encyclopedia says “French gray”—and its highly prized by wealthy women who are bored with mink. “There aren’t man chinchilla coats around,” says rancher Wil liams, leaning up against the cor ral (garage), “Perhaps only 25 coats in all. You see, our chin chilla population is only about 150,000 or so, and it takes about 150 pelts to make a full-length ! coat. Nowadays, we're only rais ing them for breeding, and maybe i an occasional pelt for trim.” It you could persuade 150 chin chillas to donate their pelts for coat-making purposes, such a gar ment would be worth about $75,000. A chinchilla costs about SSOO on the market. \ » * * Despite the high cost of chin chillas, they are relatively mnex pensive and trouble-free to raise. “1 figure,” said Williams, “that | they're the cheapest animal you can raise for the return.” You don’t have to worfy about heating the cages, because Chin ' chilla Lanigera hails from the An des Mountains where it gets cold. Williams has an air conditioner in § the garage for the hottest days of | Summer, and a little space heater | for the bitterest days in winter, kbut he rarely uses either. -And then mostly for his own comfort A e while tending them. . For food the chinchillas thrive on a diet of hay and pellets made from grain, grass, minerals and“ vitamins. That.and water is all they get. Williams figures it costs him about three cents a day to feed a pair. * * » The chinchillas are very grate ful and appreciatively have two or three litters a year, with two or three little chinchillas in each litter, And they live for about 12 or 14 years, There’s a National Chinchilla Breeders Association, and they have shows, judging the animals like cattle are judged at the big fafirs. Williams will take his herd to the New York and New Jersey Branch Chinchilla Show at New York’s Hotel McAlpin in Febru ary to win some more ribbons. Mrs. Williams, the rancher’s Finnish-born wife who acts as foreman, says chinchillas are easy to take care of. 3 “] spend about an hour a day feeding them,” she says, leaning up against the chuck-wagon (kit chen). “And, once a week, I give the cages a thorough cleaning. That takes all way. But they’re naturally very clean animals with no smell. It's really easy.” So far, the idea of that chin chilla-coat-on-the-hood grazing in her garage hasn’t tempted Mrs. Williams. She is quite content with sher little Persian lamb jacket, Polled Hereford Sale Is Set For Winder Feb. 29 G. W. Summerour, Winder, Ga., has amnounced his sale of Polled Herefords for February 29. The sale, to be cried by George Kurtz of Sturgis, Ky., will be held at the Summerour Farm near Winder and 50 head of purebreds will be sold-—some of the entries are reg istered and sonre will sell without certificates. Mainly of Buster Domino breed ing, the foundation herd was bought in 1943 from Mathis Bro thers at Meringo, ITowa. Summercur, Winder furniture manufacturer, and his son, Ben, are also growers of Kentucky 31 fescue seed, having some 335 acres for seed and grazing pur poses. Their herd numbers around 60 cows, registered in the Ameri can Hereford Association and the American Polled Breeders Asso ciation. The sale will commence at 1 p. m. in the sale barn at the farm. Catalogs on the event may be secured by writing Summerour at Winder.

L U L e THE STORY: Jennet Logan, young wife of the old and failing Dr. Gus Logan, finds her usually well-ordered life upset after meet ing the charming young biophysi cist Peter Surinov. She finds her self suddenly attracted by this young man, who is the object of the controversy at Angel's hos pital. Maxwell Cota, head of the hospital, dislikes Peter principally because Peter is interested in slum clearance. Cota owns property in the slums. Cota seizes upon Pe ter's antagonism against the loy alty oath, which Peter signed, to brand Peter as a Communist and Peter is engaged in research in atomie medicine. Dr. Logan and Dr. Walter Pelletier have come to Peter’'s support but the fight is not over. Jennet goes to a meet ing with Peier and she feels that if she can contribute something to Peter's movement she will clear her conscience of the many things that have been bothering her, * * * XVII Light and dark stripes on the lawn bespoke the morning’s mow ing. Above the spiky mass of snapdragons, colorful as Joseph's coat, the leaves of the mock orange bushes piled each other like hills of slick green pebbles. Along the opposite hedge of eu genia, crisp white daisies vibrated in the thin silver light, and dark as dried blood on the fence splashed the early roses. A “man icured garden.” Peter's words. She could shut them out no longer. They returned to accuse her, to despoil the front view as evilly as rats running on the plushy green. “If a single person among you fails to act, then by all the laws of crime and punishment, you deserve to lose your happy home.” Everything had gone wrong so far today. She ground her fists into her cheeks. Peter, Peter, Peter. Well, she would get rid of him. He had asked for money. She would give money and that would be the end of the voodoo. She would give money and forget the whole experience. But five or ten dollars was nothing, Gus said. It would have to be a dramatic amount, a beau geste so that there should be expiation in the giving and dazzled fratitude in the re ceiving. But she would never be able to explain this need to Gus. How could she, when she was not even able to explain it to herself? If only she had some money of her own, a savings account, or:a lump sum cached away. ‘She thought of the possessions which she could turn into cash. Her mink stole—but Gus had giv en her that as a birthday present last year. Her jewelry—pins ear=- rings, watch, necklace, rings — all were his presents and she wore them frequently; he took pride in her wearing them and would no tice if one were missing. She thought of selling the star sap phire pin he had given her, which she supposed was her most valua= ble single piece. She could say that she had lost it. But then Gus would report the loss to the in surance company and she could never stand up under the grilling of investigators. And then she remenibered that she did have something of her own. A diamond lavaliere that had belonged to a great-aunt on her father’s side. Her parents had presented it to her with embarras sing pomp on her 21st birthday, It was out of fashion and she had kept it in the vault, thinking that one day she would have the jewels Spring——! = into Spring with these unsual values!

That was something Cus would never miss, if he remem= bered that she had it at all, and if he should ever question her about it, she would feel justified in admitting that she had sold it for reasons of her own, since it was not something he had given her nor even a thing she had ac=- quired during their marriage. The pendant was on a platinum chain, as she recalled, and the center dia mond was large and pear-shaped, though the tiny emeralds around it were mere chips. She won=- dered how much it would bring. Fortunately, Gus had left the car for her because he had ex pected her to shop for his shorts. This she considered a stroke of luck; more than that, an omen auguring the success of her scheme. In fact, the motif of the day had changed from frustrating accident to purposeful integration. At the bank, in the bottom of a safety deposit box was the tiny manila envelope she sought. She unclasped it and slid the pendant to her palm. The fine-linked chain curled limply around the beveled edge inside of which the emeralds were muddy and chipped. The diamond itself was clear and many-faceted but smaller than she had pictured it, and somehow sad, a businesslike piece bought per haps more as an investment or a testament of improved position than to enhance the throat of ithe beloved. Of her great-aunt Mary, its original owner, she had only the dimmest recollection. A little old lady who wore black dresses and always looked as though she need= ed a good dusting. The jewel winked up at her with no more appeal than a piecée of rock-candy, cutting short her reminiscence, She slipped the necklace back into its envelope, shoved it into her purse, dumped the papers pell-mell into the box, waved the curtain aside, and made bold sounds with her heels. In Beverly Hills, she parked in front of the stationiery store which she regularly patronized, and walked the two blocks- to Chagi= antz, the jeweler. The store front of Chagiantz’s was a solid slab of black marble. Two little oblongs of window dis=- played a few wares hung on ar thritie knuckles of driftwood. After the sunlight, the interior was at first totally dark except for small illuminated oblong show cases along the left wall in which Jennet found herself absently looking for tropical fish.
