Comdr. in the Navy and kept the war diary of the Gulf Sea Frontier. He recorded the Nazi submanine attacks on our shipping and all other events that took place from Corpus Christi, Tex. to Jacksonville, Florida. Civilian writing took a backseat. The end of his war service sent him back to his civilian portable typewriter in Key West and the Vineyard. He wrote the final draft of “The Lost Men” between June arid October 1945. It was published in 1946, by D. Appleton Century. Meanwhile the house by the sea in the Vineyard was rebuilt after the 1938 hurricane by the same skilled New England be cutting off our nose to spite our face if we don’t work with and for the newly elected men At the same time, this does not mean that we subjugate our will to theirs. It makes no difference the winning offi ‘big shot’ or a shot,’ he is still a servant of the people. As such, it is our duty to keep him informed of what we want and expect. And it is his duty to work diligently to accom- plish our desires. “This Roek of Ours” doesn’t try te take a crusading attitude. There are so many needs in our town that are either overlooked inten tienally or otherwise, that the col umn DOES feel it is ne ry to mention the most outstanding of these needs occasionally. In the past, the politicians have not appreciated such comments There is no reason to believe that in the future, they will like them any better. However, it doesn’t make any difference as long as the community is benefitted.

Strangely the Conchs win streak started with Redlands by the same 5-2 score. Redlands pounded out 9 hits from the offerings of George Lastres while the Conchs were gathering only 5 off of Aldridge, Redlands star hurler. Lastres exhibited good control in walking only one and hiting one batsman and weuld have come through with little damage with better suport in the field as his teammates committed five errors resulting in four of the visit ors runs. Redlands scored first in the sec ond when Aldridge doubled and came home on an attempted pick off at second that went into the outfield and a wild throw on the play at third from the outfield.

These ruminations precede the writing of his short stories and novels. The actual down- to-the-typewriter struggle takes place away from the pleasant home, in an attic high a ove Caroline street. Thielen in common with most professional writers does not re~ ly on fitful and sporadic inspira- tion from the muse. He maintains a year round schedule of working hours for the short stories and novels which he turns out. From 9 to 11:30 he locks himself up in the lonely room with the typewriter. Then a break for lunch at the beach with Mrs. Thielen. He swims and suns until 2 and then back at the typewriter once more until 4:30. In the midst of a story or a novel, he extends his working hours to fill the demands of the waits for him always A full time writer since grad- uation from Princeton back in the twenties, Thielen’s short stories are classics, used in short story courses Universities throughout the try. He is anthologized in the O’Brien Best Short Stories, three times in the co O'Henry collection and others.
