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.

from World Wide Pictures,
will be shown at the Assembly
of God Church, 197 Willow, on
Sunday evening, Feb. 20. A
single showing is scheduled to
begin at 7 p.m.
"The Hiding Place," a true
story filmed in Holland and
other European locations, is
based on the experiences of
Corrie ten Boon, who, with her
father, sister, and brother,
provided refuge for countless
Jewish families. A secret
room was constructed in their
home as a hiding place for use
during Gestapo raids. The ten
Booms' activities were dis

invited to attend the first

petition for a local chapter are
especially urged to attend.

prisons and concentration
camps.
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.
