Funny Half Hour Grade Fields, the talented British comedienne, once spoke to me admiringly of her sister, a non-professional who, she said, is "much funnier than I am." "But I suppise," she added as an after-thought, "everybody has a funny half hour now and then." Just as one swallow, proverbially speaking, doesn't add up to a summer, neither does an occasional superb photograph make a skilled photographer, nor a half-hour of being funny a comedian.

The difference between the consistent performer and the momentarily inspired is the difference between the professional and the amateur. Most of the professional writers I know keep the regular hours of a bank. They are on the job whether or not they "'feel" like writing. I think it was Mark Twain who bitterly summed up his emotions about his profession with: "I must love my work. I spend so much time looking at it." Flawless Efficiency These professionals whether they arc painters like Michlan- gclo or surgeons like the late great Harvey Gushing--approach their tasks with what Joseph Conrad Described as "efficiency of a practically flawless kind," the efficiency which Steichen achieved by such slavish practices as patiently taking picture after picture of an unexciting cup and saucer.

Luckily, there come days with the bonus of just the right mood when the creative artist docs everything with added grace, charm and success. Conrad speaks of these rare and wonderful times as reaching "a higher point, a subtle and unmistakable touch of love and pride beyond mere skill." One who has experienced even one moment of such joy is spoiled for all other delights and doomed for life to go on striving and hoping. Pulitzer Prizes Often Come After Best Work Is Done Tiy Lt. J.

G. ROGERS Associated Press Arts Editor NEW YORK; un--pi the two principal creative writers to win 1955 Pulitzer awards, one had been turning out novels for 31 years before he was granted this recognition; and the other, po-1 etry, for 41 years. That seems like a long time for a man to wait for honors from a fund which, set up in the newspaper world, might be expected to give special consideration to the newsy and the immediate. It has happened before, however: Waited 31 Years The fiction winner last year had been publishing for 31 years before he was honored, and his winning book was his 15th. You can't help asking how you feel about awards granted so tardily, to men practically on the downward creative slope for books that are either not new at all or are not so good as earlier ones.

You can't help asking, also, how the writers themselves feel about it. What does a Pulitzer, a native award mean to a man who al- Daily News ELLEN WHITCHER, Society Editor Phone 2261 Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q. When are place cards proper at a semi-public banquet? A. Place cards should be used, of course, at the speakers' table and when possible, it is better that the committee take pains to have place cards for all people expected, in order to avoid any possible scramble for seats. Q.

When a man is the guest of another man in a restaurant or other public eating place, should he share the tip for the waiter? A. No, this is not necessary, the tip being one of the duties of the host.

ready holds a foreign international award, the Nobel? Or to a man who has won one or two National Books Awards? Who is honoring whom? Is this conferring an hon- or, or getting aboard a bandwag- on? New Winners The new winners are William Faulkner for "A Fable" -and Wallace Stevens for "Collected Poems." Last year's fiction award went to Ernest Hemingway for "The Old jVIan and the Sea." Faulkner's first.novel is datei 1924; the prize winner was 20th book. Though Stevens began to publish in magazines in 1914, his first volume of poetry appeared ir 1924, and the winning work was his ninth book. Hemingway began to publish in 1923. Most people would say though the last two prizewimiing works by Faulkner and Heming- i way were far from their best, these two men are our foremost! living novelists. While they might resent having to wait so long, they are better off than other outstanding American writers who never got even "a sniff at a Pulitzer.

The most important omissions have perhaps been Theodore Dreisser. Thomas Wolfe, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound and E. E. Cummings. Must Wonder So Hemingway, Faulkner and Stevens are better off than these others.

Yet if they look back, they must wonder why their best nov- els were ignored in the years i of their publication. Take for instance Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms," a lot of people, including me, regard as the best American World War I novel, and for that matter better than anything from World War II as well. It was published in 1929. For that year the Pulitzer went to Oliver La Farge for "Laughing Boy." Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" came out in the year when the Pulitzer was accorded to Louis Bromfield's "Early Autumn." His "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was published in 1940, a year for which, ostensibly for lack of merit, no novel award was made. Faulkner's Record Look at Faulkner's record.

"The Sound and the Fury" appeared in the year of Hemingway's "Farewell" and La Farge's "Boy." "As I Lay Dying" lost to Margaret Aycr Barnes' "Years of Grace;" "Sanctuary" to Pearl S. Bucks "The Good Earth;" "Light in August" to "The Store" by T. S. Stribling; "Absalom, Am- salom!" to "Gone With the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell. Stevens won for "Collected Poems;" every item had been available earlier if there'd been a sufficiently acute jury.

In three cases he published volumes when Robert Frost did, and that's stiff competition; but on two other times he lost to Robert P. Tristram Coffin and Marya Zaturen- ska. Fairbanks News-Miner, Tuesday, May 24, 1955 Page 5 Iowa Girls Sqlve Problems AP Newsfeatures UNDERWOOD, Iowa --Adults concerned with juvenile problems might encourage the "Lucky 'Leven" treatment in their own communities. The Lucky 'Leven is a group of Underwood girls ranging in age from 12 to 16, who decided about a year ago to form a club because "there isn't much for teenage girls to do here." Goal The club was formed with 11 members, no constitution, bylaws, rules or regulation, except that membership be limited to 11, and the goal be community service plus companionship and fun. They meet each Monday night, unless a school or church activity interferes.

At three meetings a month the girls worl on individual needlework prc cts -and gab. Meetings rotate imong the various homes, in alphabetical order. On the fourth Monday they have fun, and concentrate on sociability. Haloween Party Their community service projects are planned well in advance. Last Fourth of July they operated a concession stand and made more than $60, which was donated to a community building fund.

Last Halloween they sponsored a party for all the young people in town, and kept 50 boys and girls off the street and out of trouble. Bake Sale Recently the girls sponsored a bake sale, turning the $100 proceeds over to the band uniform fund at Underwood school. They have made bazaar items for the Red Cross, and plan a sale of the needlework: they have made. Their current goal is to be guests on a TV show where they can win a cash jJtize to swell their community service funds. Household Hints A pie crust is easier to shape and bake if the dough is placed on the outside of an upturned pie pan during the molding.

This method of shaping also prevents shrinkage during baking. Don't use copper or brass strainers when working with citrus fruits or tomatoes. These als will destroy vitamin says the Alabama state extension service. Put flour and seasonings into an empty shortening can and use to flour meats before frying. Put several pieces of meat in and close lid.

Shake well, let stand a few seconds, open and you have evenly floured meat. Fill individual a shells from the bakery with drained canned apricots; top with a fluff of whipped cream and garnish each dessert with a whole sweet strawberry.
