Houghton Elementary School, Irrigon PROGRAM DANK OF MEMBER, soroptomist winners seniors. Each girl had carefully written about her understand ing of how a good citizen contributes to family and community life. Each had many activities listed which showed the contributions she has been making. Darla's "The Book of Daniel" was set in the Bronx neighborhood where he grew up; "Ragtime" also has a New York City background, principally in the suburb of New Rochelle, where the author now lives with his wife and three child ren. "Ragtime" is a strange blend of actuality and modern mythology. It deals with several families whose lives are interwoven with famous persons of their time, the years between 1902 and 1917, "the final days of America's privileged childhood" just be fore W.W. I. Time Magazine's reviewer states, "Eccentrics still putter in their garages and produce inventions without the aid of research-and-development bureaucracies. Henry Ford's new assembly line and Albert Einstein's peculiar idea that the universe is curved crack the dawn of the modern age. Before long, Doctorow notes, painters in Paris will be putting two eyes on one side of the head. "Like ragtime, the jazz form made famous by Scott Joplin, Doctorow's book is a native American fugue, rhy thmic, melodic and stately, and as it is never right to play j ragtime fast, the same can be said for reading this book." Historic and fictional fig ures, fictional events and historic events are fantastic ally interwoven throughout this story of an upper-middle-class white family and an emotional black musician, whose lives become involved with such well-known per sonages as Stanford White, Sigmund Freud, Harry Hou dini, J.P. Morgan and Henry Ford. "Ragtime" is published by Random House, has 271 pages and sells for $8.95.

Kenneth Bliss, director of World Wide Pictures, said that the film "offers a great lesson in the perserverance of a personal faith in a very dark and trying period of world history. Corrie ten Boom, now in her eighties, has a tre mendous vitality, a deep spiritual commitment, and a profound love for her fellow man. We believe we have succeeded in transmitting a part of her zest, personality, and source of strength through this film." Bliss noted that the film includes "interesting side lights on the experiences of the cast and crew during the filming. The Reverend W. Duane Geyer, Assembly pastor, stressed that the showing of "Corrie" is open to the public free of charge. "We encourage families to plan to attend together, for what we believe will be a memorable ex perience," he said. r AUTOMOTIVE SHERRELL CHEVROLET INC.
