Key Books (FIVE SCIENCE FICTION NOV- ELS compiled by Martin Green- berg, published by Gnone Press, Inc., New York City, 382 pages.) Plagues have always fascinated the story teller. Bubonic plague and the red death have ravaged cities and threatened fictional he- roés and heroines since man be- gan to invent tales of the imagin- ation. Diaries and memoirs have featured plague epidemics. And today as the human race is in re- ality conquering disease with sul- fa drugs and radium, it shudders in its fiction at tales of tomorrow’s plagues. Three of the novels in this vol- ume feature strange diseases of 50 years from now. The first is the blue death traced to electric currents on the loose, and described in “But Without Horns” by Norvell W. Page. The disease is combined with a super- man, John Miller, who came in- to the world as a mutation from a couple, generations of average men exposed potent radiation. By simply willing it, the fellow can appear as an angel bathed in gold- en light, and can drive men in- sane or inflict them with the blue death — all of which he does in the course of 100 fine print pages. Jack Williamson’s “The Crucible of Power’ begins with the great pandemic of failing sickness which first attacked workers in a Green- land radium mine in 1998. “, , .the disease attacked all nerve tissue. Commonly the gang- lions and plexuses of the ear were first affected. The victims were deafened, deprived of sense of, bal- ance, usually terrified with a sen- sation of endless headlong falling— hence the malady’s popular name .. .the falling sickness struck with- out warning. People fell suddenly, at work or in the streets, shrieking in fear, clutching wildly at objects abgut them. The spread swiftly from the auditory nerve, causing blindness, agonized xysms, nightmarish hallucinations, coma, paralysis, often stoppage of the heart, and death. . .” The hero is a remarkable fellow named Garth Hammond, torn in 210, the last year of the Black Century. His son tells the story of Hammond’s success story from bootblack to owner of a vast cor- poration transporting power from the sun to the earth, With a genius |. for rocket making and space prowl- ing, he ships off of planets as if they were Milwaukee or Miami, In another story, “The Chron- icle,” van Vogt shows three- eyed men in the decadent future city of Naze, afflicted with a blood sucking disease, The story is told thru an elab- oration of the testimony of various le who have known Michael Slade. This man ‘had no indication bnormality until he was in an automobile accident, and the torn bleeding skin in his forehead re- vealed a third eye. From that time on a new world is intermittently revealed to Mr. Slade. And as it is revealed he is bothered with attendant embarrass- ment in the world of two eyed men. His wife Miriam cannot bear to look across the breakfast table at three eyes glued to a newspaper instead of two, and she leaves him. His friends avoid him and when in his presence are under a marked strain because of the abnormality. Thru the visin in that third eye Michael finds himself in the strange city of Naze. And it is in that place of horror that he finds three-eyed men and women afflicted with the vampire disease of blood sucking. It becomes nightmare of a yarn as he tangles with the city’s inhabitants. For Michael has rich, red blood! All of these tales fall short of Aldous Husley’s masterful attempt in “Brave New World” to see the tomorrows of the human race. None of them are as perfectly imagined world, as did Mr. Huxley. Neverheless the stories are in- teresting projections of the human imagination as it explores tomor- row. And the plots move with suf- ficient rapidity and the events are startling enough to keep the read- er reading.

Spicy Preserves Hit The Spot By CECILY BROWNSTONE AP Press Food Editor If you’d like to try your hand at making sweet spicy preserves to serve with cold meats, poultry, or curry, here are two small- quantity recipes that give delicious products. These recipes feature Peaches and watermelon — fruits widely available right now. Before you do your preserving, make sure you buy good quality fruit and that you have fresh spices on hand. This way you'll get the best flavor results. Dry mustard, powdered ginger, ground! cloves and paprika are the spices you'll need for these two recipes. Store spices in containers with tightly fitting covers. If covers are loose, spice flavors deteriorate quickly. See also that your spice shelf is not too close to the kitchen range, as heat destroys the volatile oils that supply the fragrance spic- es give..

Or a Mendoza beaver? Or a Gal- land squirrel? Better grab your checkbook and start running, then. For after mid- night Friday these fancy names will pass into history and all three furs must be sold under their right name: Rabbit. Many another ad writer’s pipe- dream—‘“River Sable” for musk- rat, for example, and “Genet” for plain pussy cat—likewise will be outlawed when the new fur-label- ing act, signed by President Tru- man a year ago, finally goes into effect. This law says all fur coats and vertised and sold under “‘the true English name of the animal from which the fur was taken.” And the Federal Trade Commis- | sion (FTC), which will do most | of the enforcing of the law, has prepared a list of 100 or so “true | English names’—from alpaca to zebra—which will let the customer know just what fur he or she is buying.

Through this law, says Harvey H.

But the moisture was a timely life-saver for corn, tobacco, cotton and vegetable crops still surviving in these drought-singed areas and gave promise of reviving some pastures by fall. The drought, one of the worst in years to hit the nation’s over-all food production, already is having these effects: Some sharp increases in produce prices, scattered setbacks to rural trade, cuts in milk supplies in Southern Missouri, a decline in farm labor employment in the stricken area and some “scare” buying in canned fruits and vege- tables. Unless the rainfall pattern re- turns to normal, some government | spokesmen predicted that sales of farm implements wili be hurt and that a water power shortage will develop in New Hampshire and in oil-producing Oklahoma. A Department of Commerce sur- vey showed no serious business slump yet in any area because of the drought but that there had been some sharp increases in pro- duce prices. As the rains came, the federal government raised to 10 the num- ber of entire states listed as dis- aster areas. It added North Caro- lina and the remainder of Arkan- sas to the list. Other states are South Carolina, Tennessee, Ala- bama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missis- sippi, Massachusetts, Maine and 44 Missouri counties. Oklahoma and Texas have been carried over from the 1951 drought. Farmers in these areas are eligible for government loans. The Southern States were as- sured by government spokesmen attending‘ an emergency drought session in Atlanta Wednesday that no hard-pressed farmer will be put out of business or be forced to sacrifice livestock. Dillard Lasseter, head of the Farmers Home Administration, said his agency has the money and organization to bring speedy relief. Agricultural spokesmen said the drought was broken in Southern New England and in parts of the South.
