Long ago In the land of Judah In the walled town of Bethul, Judith was born to the town's richest man and wife. Left motherless at Infancy, Judith was raised by her father as he would have raised a son. She grew up to be as brave and skillful as a man and so beau tiful that every man who saw her desired her except the one to whom she had been betrothed as a child. The contract was In violable and when her father died she was held by lt to Joyless unconsumated marriage, Lonely and rich she became richer. Her fields flourished, her storehouses overflowed but at 30 she was a widow and virgin while all the men who had touched her life lay burled In the ground. At that time Judah refused to pay the yearly tribute exacted by Babylon and King Nebucha drezzer set forth with an army to quell the rebellion. Captain Holofernes, leading a thousand Babylonian soldiers, laid siege to Bethul. Bethul was doomed from the start. But a wily and desperate Judith went forth one night to save her people by seducing the captain Holofernes to his death. This much Is well known. But beyond the outlines of this fa miliar legend lie passion and betrayal and a vow no human pleading could break. Stella Wilchek has fleshed out the an cient tale not only with the facts of history but with the blood knowledge of a people that goes beyond the facts. Thus Judith is not the Bib lical story retold, but one cre ated anew with characters that are of the time and of all time. It Is a story of life and war, of passion and sacrifice, of the glory and folly of heroism and of the lure and pitfalls of power. It is an ageold yet age less story and one that has powerful fascination. Wade Bothwell recently re turned from a 14-day sight-seeing trip which took him thru Canada and several states. He went thru Glacier Park, Wil liams Lake, and on up to Prince George, which was the northern most point of his trip.
