- MANY, PERSONS aren't laboring on Labor Diy. I'm one of ‘those who -is. reason: Publication date for Tuesday” is Nov, 1.
Having ‘a book,
The “Monday Follows your very own book, published is an exciting, “stimulating, back- -breaking. nerve-racking experience. The’ major drawback fs ‘you have to work with a publisher. Ever since I hooked up with Allen Smith, my
life hasn't been my own. Not that the association hasn't been pleasant, at times.
Mr. Smith is a kind man to. his family, his employees, friends, printers, bookbinders,” book sellers, gas station aftendanfs stray dogs and cats, hotel bellbhoys and book reviewers, I've geen him in aétion. oo oe ole WHEN IT COMES to publisher-author relations, Mr. Smith becomes 10 feet tall, has a
blacksnake whip in his hand and flames shoot out af nostrils. If it wasn't for the ‘fact that everything he has said and done so far has been right I'd quit, One Sunday recently, Mr. Smith called me at 9 a. m. and said to meet him at his office at
10. He thought we needed to get together .for about an. hour. There were some loose ends to’ tie ‘in the “book. The day before he worked me 12 hours.
I THOUGHT one more hour wouldn't kill me. He greeted me cordially by saying, “We're going

It Happened Last Night
By Earl Wilson
JERUSALEM. Sept, 3 Prime Minister David Ren Gurion of Israel shook hands with me and hundreds of others—at a big garden party which he went to in a closed car and an open- shirt. “RB. ..” as they all call him, rides about in a chauffeured Chrysler, but loves those openthroated shirts with collars that come out over
. the top of your coat.
Once, addressing some workers, he tore off his tuxedo tie he'd been required to. wear 10-a dinner party, and apologized. fol “Pardon me for coming here dressed like this” - =e gestured helplessly toward his dinner jacket “but you see—these are my working clothes!’ I talked to him at a garden party for the Zionfst Conference delegates.Beer and other refreshments were served, I met Nahum Goldman of New York, president of the conference; also exMayor Auster of Jerusalem, whom I told that I was trying to see Israel in 36 hours. “In 36 hours!” he said, horrified. admit “it.”

AFTERWARD, we all stood erect there, hundreds of us, in the cool evening, as the band
played “Hatikvah,” the national anthem, which is translated “Hope.” + Later, as a former Methodist Sunday school
teacher I tried to adjust all the confusion that came to me with my first visit to the Holy Land. You see, fellow Bible students, we were now fn Jerusalem —but New Jerusalem, not Old Jerusalem. Before the garden: party, the Beautiful Wife and I, permit in hand, had climbed half a dozen ladders to get to the top of Notre Dame Monastery. which was bombed in the Arab-Jew-fsh war, and which even now has soldiers living in it. patrolling the roof. * From the rooftop we could look over ‘the old wall” and see Old Jerusalem—but we could not go over into that Arab-controlled section if we'd come to this Jewish section first.
LOOKING ACROSS, we could see Mount Zion, bombed “Church of the Dormition.”’ the the Holy Sepulchre. the Garden of Gethsemane namse we were more familiar with 30 vears ago. And, to complete the irony, we could see the Mosque where King Abdullah was so recently assassinated, . - : T.ater we sat on the terrace of King David Hotel enjoying the evening. “Iisten!” somebody said. “You can hear the chimes over in the old eity. They're an hour behind us . . . the new city has daylight saving time.” Please don't think that's all T saw of the Holy Land. We drove to Haifa to the slopes of

ee THE TWO HOURS in his home wére most enjoyable. We talked about printing costs, the high ‘cost of paper, binding, promotion, auto-
graph parties, how important it was to the publisher that the author co-operates. You see, Mr. Smith is the kind of a man who works hard when he works. When he gets you at his home he forgets business. I like that. His last words to me when ¥ left were: “Be sure and let me know where you'll be tomerrow in case I want you for something.” Now to something more pleasant. In spite of everything. I'm pretty excited about the book. 1 have that expectancy that a prospective father
must feel. I'm impatient to get my mitts on the finished product, to hold it, fondle it, look at it and scream, ‘This is mine.”

The Bookwalter Co., 1520 N. Capitol Ave. is binding “Monday Follows Tuesday.” I am told the 288-page “Escape Book of the Year” (that's what the ads say it is) will last a lifetime under any conditions, YOU CAN SEE for yourself what a fine
piece of work the cover is. It is green, black and white. The leaf motif should bring back memories to all my friends. : Keith Bratton,. the illustrator, is a native Hoosier, Bitler University graduate and the man responsible for the artwork. Unusual lad. It was said of Keith, when he was graduated, after eight years, that he was “The Most Likely.” The Ruben Advertising Agency, 104 N:. New Jersey St., is handling the promotion. When' Mr. .8mith asked Gary Ruben to take the job, Gary dropped everything, glasses, pencil, teeth, ehewing gum and went to work. How much influence the 45 automatic had on Gary, we'll never know. The printers at Pauley’'s “are working like crazy. Bookwalter is ready to bind as soon as the pages are ready. Sometime in October, “Monday Follows Tuesday” will be born. The book stores will have them for sale Nov, 1. Pinch me, somebody, pinch me.

How Good Is Your School?—
At What Age
Ry WILBUR A. YAUCH
Chapter. One STARTING IN FIRST GRADE
‘A mother recently asked me, “When shall I send Billy to school? He was five last February, and the . school only accepts children in September. Shall I send him this fall at the age of five and a half, or wait another year until he is six and a half?” It makes a difference whether or not Billy has attended nursery school or Kindergarten. o au =" BEFORE HE CAN hope to succeed in school he will need to develop some experience witn his age:mates. Some of this learning go naturally with his attendance in first grade, but he will succeed faster, and enjoy school more, if he has made same progregs in this direction ‘hefore starting in first grade, Another thing that will heip determine how well Billy does in school is the way his parents have talked to him during hig early childhood. Many chilaren carry infantile wavs of talking into later years. They have been encouraged to de so by parents who ‘consider it “cute.” In this case the child has some growing up to do. in language. It will come as an unpleasant. surprise to him when he discovers that other children make fun of the way he talks. Or, the child may come from a family where a second language is spoken.. He will still be in the confused state of mind of not understanding the way other children talk as well as he should. . Or, the parents may be well educated people, using an advanced form of speech ¢which the child has learned by imjfation.” This child will speak in ‘ways that will be a constant
