For many of the 649 passengers It meant no Hawaiian vacation as airlines reported no space available on trans-Pacific flights. The sailing was postponed, then cancelled, when two rival unions got into a row over the hiring of a waiter. Out of tiieIITgods 4 ; m By Jim Sterns Far Cornar ... No graybeard, Stewart H. Hol brook yet rates as an oldtime river pig of the New England woods. He was a boy on the drives, for in his early day as a lumberjack there were no laws to speak of against child labor. So he was fit to be a youthsome lop sergeant in World War I, then a seasoned young logger in the tough , shows of British Columbia, Books were In Holbrook's head as early as 1920. They've been surging from him since 1936. His latest in "Far Corner a Personal View of the Pacific Northwest." The personal ap pearances of the author in its varieties of story and essay yield the best pages. He takes you Into an ancient logging camp bunk house and does not let you miss a smell. He breaks a trail through young Douglas fir to a stump rancher's abandoned shack and has you read the 40-year-old newspapers on the wall. He leads you by the hand to the "House of Usher" of the Port land Press Club in the 1920s and in its molrierlng gloom introduc es you to the Pacific Northwest writers who flowered in that de cade even to Clarence Darrow. Tha Changing Forcti . . . The big timber and its busi ness and labor loom and shine all through "Far Corner," except in the chapters on the Heppncr flood the Walla Walla legend of the rawhide railroad and other east of the mountains locations. The big chapter of the book, and the last one, deals entirely with "The Changing Forest." It has points of view that are sure to buy the eyes of many dedicated Holbrook readers In New York, Boston and Philadelphia, Here's a sample: "The city man commonly thinks of the forest as l)eing a remote and savage place where nothing moves, nothing happens. The woodsman knows better. He knows the forest to be as busy a place as Manhattan at its peak hours of rush, a place of intense activity. No classified page could possibly list its daily births and deaths. No column could begin to record its fires and, other dis asters. The worst human bar barian could scarcely believe the ferocious warfare constantly waged In Its shadows." Our rugged author then tells the grim tale of beetle and bud worm wars on trees of the re gion and paints the evil of the hemlock looper. He makes i t clear how the forest survives the worst that men and bugs can do to it: "What drove them (stump ranchers) from their hard-won acres was the appalling energy and poweftof the reviving forest, the second growth. You could hardly turn your back on a new ly cleared field without the ferns and the fireweed marching across it. After them, and quick ly, came the-alders , , . and the firs, hemlock and cedars." ' Our Mrs. Rice . , , The new Holbrook book has many prime stories with bark on them. One tells how Mrs. Cliff Rice of SatsnP came to receive 492 letters of menace and curse after a story of her tree seed business was published nation wide. She was doing fine In gathering seeds from the West Coast Lumbermen's Associa tion's Nlsqually nursery and was rightly proud of it. How ever, the story told that some times the cone caches of squir rels were gleaned by the seed harvesters.
