Murray Warner Prize Winner Tells Adventures George Berezovsky Flees From Russian Reds With Brother Worked as Painter, Tutor, Miliband, Fisher Probably few students, if any, at the University could compete with George Sergue Berezovsky, sopho more in the school of business ad ministration , and winner of the first prize in the Murray Warner contest, in either travel, variety of work done, or of schools attended. Berezovsky is from Moscow, Rus sia, but since leaving in the fall of 1918, or rather fleeing from the Bolsheviks, with a young brother, he has been in China, the United States, and Alaska. Ride Last two Months He was graduated in 1918 from the Third Gymnasium of Moscow, the last class instructed in the sys tem existing previous to the Bol shevik regulation of educational in stitutions of Russia. In 1920, with a party of some 75 or a 100 others, George, and his brother set out on horseback from Omsk, a little village on the border of Manchuria, for Harbin, China, about 3500 miles away. Berezov sky attributes to this ride, which lasted more than two months, his dislike of seeing cowboy pictures. “I got enough of it,” he remarked. In Harbin, the two boys immedi ately set about to secure work, George took a position in an im porting and exporting office for a LEARN TO DANCE i Satisfactory Results Guaranteed , —Private Instruction— —Teaching beginners or ad vanced. —Pox Trot—Waltz — Tango— Charleston—Fancy and Ex hibition steps.

He then worked as !a painter, and ,finally, as a journey jman. He was able to save enough money to come to America by tutor ;ing students in German at the same jtime. He reached Seattle, Febru j ary 23, 1923. Knew no English In the United States, Berezovsky Isays, he had the hardest time of |his life, for he knew not a word of j English when he arrived. He did ; not meet people who could under stand either Russian or German, as in China. In China you could live for years without needing to learn the language, but here—” he said. His first position in the United States was at a sawmill in Fairfax, Washington, and later he worked at Everett. This work was very hard for the boy, who had lived on a large estate in Russia and was never required to labor. “My fin gers and hands swelled,” he said, “until I could hardly lace my shoes. But, I studied English at night so that I could get away from this work.” He sent for his brother in China to come here, and in Janu ary, 1923, the two of them entered the University of Washington, George going into the college of fisheries. He did not know what such work would be like, so in April he went to Alaska to work in a salmon can nery for six months to test his re action to the work. “But, I had enough of that,” he went on, as he humorously recited his varied ex periences, one after 'the other, without emotion. In the fall of 1925 he entered the University of Oregon as a bus iness administration major.

REID’S DAIRY -ROYAL BROWN Famous for his Short Stories in COSMOPOLITAN Tells How to Write for the Magazines WWWWWMam'IMAMlWPaMOlWIICW RAY LONG, Editor of Cosmopolitan, has published an . unusually interesting and helpful anthology of short stories entitled "My Story That I Like Best.” At his sugges tion, six great fiction masters selected their best stories for this volume and told how they came to write them. In his foreword to this book Ray Long tells what constitutes successful writing. The success of "My Story That I Like Best” led Mr. Long to issue this year another book entitled "As I Look at Life.” To this volume 14 Cosmopolitan authors have contributed intimate first person stories of deep emotional experiences. In his introduction Mr. Long tells — informingly for the student—the story of his own career as writer and editor. The two books are not for sale; they can not be bought in the stores or found in public libraries; but each may be obtained with a separate year’s subscription to Cosmopolitan, or both may be had with a 2-year subscription. ROYAL BROWN’S ADVICE CONCERNING these remarkable books Royal Brown writes to Ray Long: "It is perhaps only natural that the foreword to ‘AS I LOOK AT LIFE’ should interest me most. That was equally true about the foreword of 'MY STORY THAT I LIKE BEST’.” “Together they give me anew answer to those who are tprevcr asking me how to set about writing for the magazines. And that is: Take two separate subscriptions to the Cosmopolitan. With one put in a request for ‘MY STORY THAT I LIKE BEST’ and with the other a request for ‘AS I LOOK AT LIFE.’ This will cost you six dollars. You would pay at least five dollars for any .-.-T*gftn run-of-the-mill criticism on any single short story and know no more about what writing as a whole calls for than when you started. “For six dollars, you will get the two years of Cosmopolitan, which you cannot read without profit. You will get the two books I refer to which you can not get in any other way. “They will give you a better start for the philosophy that should be yours as a writer than anything I have ever come across in print— and I read widely.” 0 S.
