ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN Cooks and stewards wave to dis
appointed passengers aboard the luxury liner Lurline after their
walkout cancels the sailing of the vessel from San Francisco to
Honolulu. 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.

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. "Squirrel starver!"
