Little Valley to Harper and
shorten the distance from Vale
to Harper from five to six

Vale last week.

been contending for this short
cut for a long time and are
well pleased with the court’s
decision.
Some of the worst
road from Harper to the county
seat will be cut out by the
new route and it will be a
comparatively short drive be
tween the two cities when the
road in completed.

This week for your summer recreational reading, may I
suggest and recommend two books dealing with the occult.
Most of you readers are aware that the United States is in
the midst of adventure with the occult--witchcraft, satanism,
etc.
If you feel that this is a “way out” statement, then I
suggest that you recall some of the leading movies of this past
school year that have dealt with witchcraft, satanism, exor
cism, ghosts, and ghost-hunting.
The first book that I would like to suggest for your readnig
is THE OTHER by Thomas Tryon. The reader of THE OTHER
is swept up in the life of a Connecticut country town in the
30’s and in the fearful mysteries that slowly darken and over-
whelm it.
Two brilliant figures stand at the center of the narrative:
the handsome young twin sons of an old and respected family--
Niles and Holland Perry, complicated, secretive boys, bound
together in the intense fidelity of twinship. In their strangely
imaginative games, for which the ancient barn and dungeon-

Your personality picture will be

Illustration #2, the mirror

Both show rhythm, explora

organizational ability, attention

other traits.
By using a mirror to view

like apple cellar serve as temple and stage, the dark-natured
Holland dominates. Yet it is Niles, gentle and loving, who is
gifted in the strangest game, an almost mystic game of em
pathy with all living creatures, which their adored grandmother,
Ada, learned as a girl and has taught them.
So far from this description, the novel sounds very tame
and domestic, but little by little as the games of boyhood are
played, and the usual rumors, conflicts, and attachments of
large families in small towns occupy and distract the Perry
household, as the twins’ elegant and fragile mother almost
imperceptibly recedes into her private world of lending library
romance, as the grandmother labors to nurture and guide her
loved ones, a cloud gathers and descends over them all, until
suddenly the family, the whole town, is shaken and bewildered
by the advent of a horrifying series of inexplicable deaths
and disasters.
I would be very foolish to tell you more about the story for
in doing so I would ruin the suspense and the psychological
horror story.
Suffice it to say, that Mr. Tryon has written
a psychological story with lyric skill and spiritual strength
which will impress the reader and hold him as much as its
central revelation of evil will appall him.
The novel in many ways reminded me of a 19th century classic
story of evil written by Henry James: THE TURN OF THE
SCREW.
Many of you will recall the motion picture version
which was shown on television last year.
The other book that 1 would like briefly to mention is titled
THE EXORCIST by William Peter Blatty.
This novel too
deals with terror, terror in a different sort of way from that
which is narrated in THE OTHER.
In the case of THE EXORCIST the story deals with a young
ster who is possessed with the spirit of evil in terms of
transmigration of souls. The novel reads rapidly and I found
myself gripped by the narration and yet repelled by the story
and the use of vulgarities. Nevertheless, if you are interested
in a fast-paced exciting and terrifying story, may I suggest
Hundreds of people have obviously enjoyed
the EXORCIST.
THE EXORCIST because there are more than 200,000 copies
in hardback; the paperback is just out which will attract many
more readers and it is soon to become a major motion picture.
At this time the book is a little more than a year old and has
remained on the top ten best seller list.
