Knife-Fork Club Amused By Writer's Escapades A skillfully presented account of the experiences of six years of iso lated living in the Far North made good listening for some 1W) per sons attending Tuesday night's meeting of the Knife and Fork Club, held as usual at the Willard Hotel. The speaker was Richard More nus who bought an island in the Hudson Bay area in Hi39. A pio neer in the writing of scripts lor radio soap operas, Morcnus was writing simultaneously for three different programs when he sud denly found himself unable to con tinue. A psychiatrist told him that he was "tired out" mentally and advised him to go rest on a larm. Morcnus, who had been a Mid westerner before becoming a New Yorker, was suspicious of the idea of resting on a farm where he knew there was a lot of hard work to be done. He was more tempted by the North, where he spent his vacations. Morenus found his northern Island through correspondence, and bought it sight unseen, know ing only that it had been de veloped as a tourist resort. As it turned out, the island was too far north to attract tourists, and the fairly new structures were little more than' ruins by the time Morenus arrived. It was this combination of cir cumstances created by Morenus own inexperience and this rather Inappropriate setting for a rest cure that made a good story to tell. It was a story of hard work end privations and the comical consequences of his own incpti tude. Morenus is a masterful story-teller and he has ground his material exceedingly fine, now be; lng at work on his fourth book on the North. He took some amusing pot shots Society Tells Clothing Need There is still a need for quantl ties of clothing, bedding, cooking utensils and any other commoBi ties that can be used by deserv ing persons, it was announced by Mrs. Harry Morgan, president of the Dorcas Society of the Seventh- day Adventist Church.

Dog Bites Man: Tax Collector YAKIMA (API - Tax collector W. A. Wilson went to a home to make a collection Friday and Just got away by the cloth of his pants. There was nobody home when Wilson, personal property tax col lector in the Yakima County treasurer's office, arrived to make collection.

SOVIET WRITER FLEES BERLIN UPIi Soviet writer Alexander Tsheyshivili has fled to West Berlin, the West Berlin newspaper "B. 2." reported Thursday. Tsheyshivili, 55, fled to Wert Berlin last Friday from an authors' conference In East Ber lin, It said. at some fellow writers, including Jack London, whose writings he devoured before moving to Cana da. As it turned out, neither Lon don nor James Oliver Curwood, nor even Robert W. Service and the Scouts Handbook, provided the correct answers to many prac tical problems. Those he had to work out for himself. Morenus was particularly amus ing in speaking of his experiences with his three malamute sleigh dogs. "f thougnt I was acquiring ef fortless transportation," he said. "What I was really getting were three of the most voracious appe tites in northern Canada." Nevertheless, Morcnus survived, and very well; he felt that his neighbors, the Ojibway Indians, might have something to teach our bustling society so concerned with time and the calendar. "If you feel a hurry coming on, sit down until the hurry goes," is an Indian saying that he cited, and not just for laughs. Ross Ragland presided at the meeting, and the invocation was given by the Rev. Miner E. Brun cr. Dr. Calvin Hunt introduced the speaker.
