Altho’ the no vel deals mainly with one family, the Joads, it is t,he story that applies to hundreds who are searching for work in Califbrpia. After many trials and tribulations getting start ed and on their journey the no-term- ed “Okies” reach California only to find .conditions worse (here jthan at their former homes. There is work, but the wage.s are far too low to make ever) a half-decent Jiying. The : would-be workers have no decent place to live, and hungry mpst of the time, and are treated like dogs, so the novel tells. Thg conditions de picted in the noyel are said tp be mainly those of three years ago in California. Since the publication , | pf “The Grapes of Wrath” Steinbpck has been subject tp much comment. His book has been called everything front “fil thy vile propaganda” to “one of the great human documents of our time.!’ Much of the protest to this best sel ler comes from California and par ticularly Kern , county of that state • from readers who insist that Stein beck’s book is a “djsitorted picture” and a “filthy book.” The novel is ban ned in, Bakersfield, California, Undoubtedly John Steiribeck knew ]his subject well whfen he wrote “The Grapes of Wrath,!’ The book is en tirely different and most unusual in its dialogue. The .phraseology is new to people of . this 1 section. In every other chapter'of the book the author : turns aside from the narrative for a •section of vivid description—describ ing highways, or tractors, the hum ble pleasure!! of the migrant people, spring in California, cotton picking, the sad plight of homeless,, tired, sick people. These! inbetween' chapters ate fine reading for their unusual method of describing .something aside from the story and yet tied in with it. The story of the Joads comes to ; a very abrupt ending. Darryl Zanuck, chief producer at 20th Century-Fox, has bought the no vel to make a moving picture which will star Henry Fonda. In the past ten years, John Stein beck has had published six novels, a play, and a voloume of short stories with probably the most outstanding of these his novel and play, “Of Men and Mice.” “The Grapes of Wrath” is his first long novel. The book is on sale in Newbery at Hal Kohn’s. COUNTY-WIDE MEETING FOR FARMERS IS CALLED In order that farmers may be come more familiar with the chang ing 1940 outlook of agriculture and the general economic condition due to the war, Newberry county agents have scheduled a county-wide farm ers’ meeting at the Junior high school auditorium Monday, November 27, at 2:30 p. m. This meeting is also for the purpose of discussing the 1940 marketing quota referendum and ex plaining in detail additional benefits' that may be derived from the 1940 Farm Program. Well informed specialists from the State Extension Service will be pre sent to assist with this meeting. The Red Cross is calling for your membership! TODAY & TOMORROW (Continued from page one) Others saw the value of that sort of frankness, and a new profession was born, that of “Public Relations Counselor.” Men with that title differ from press agents mainly that they work harder and get more money. One of them told me once that his greatest difficulty was in getting his employers to tell him the truth so that he could pass it on to the papers. The top men in that pro fession have such a reputation for square dealing and truthfulness that the newspapers take their word with out question. CHAINS example One of the topics on which much publicity material comes in my mail is that of chain stores. When it comes from public relations organi zations of standing I accept their statements of fact. Therefore it in terested me, and seems worth pass ing on, to learn that the housewives of America are throwing more and more of their patronage to the chain stores, for economy’s sake. In the first nine months of this year, the 29 leading grocery, variety, shoe, apparel and auto supply chains did 10 percent more business than last year, while the independent stores in the same lines gained only about 6 percent, according to De partment of Commerce reports. One thing that turned public at tention to the chain stores was the publicity campaign begun last year to comodt! legislative , epofts to im pose rumoiis! taxes on all kip.ds of chains. That started millions of housewives to throw their trade to the chains, when they began to learn the truth about their price-saving methods, and to realize that they would have to pay more if the chains were taxed out of business. That’s the press agent’s story, at least, and I believe him. Perfect Legs , HOLLYW’OOD . . .'
