SUNDAY, 24, THE DAILY NfiWS-LUDINGTON, MICHIGAN. PAGE FIVES LOCAL AND SOCIAL George Davis, Famous Author, Is Charmed With Ludington (By CARRIE M. ZOOK) A famous author has made a long and unostentatious stay in Luidington. If few met naturally people are shy of famous was through no fault To be set apart is more likely to appear to him coldness or. lack of regard.

I think he felt it somewhat here' and especially -since he found Lud- a most charming location JJjrfl Its people exceptionally attractive. Friendly Description To those who did not meet George Davis it might be interesting to know more intimately aibout him. He would in no way resent-any normal curiosity, for he considers that any person on whom the public has bestowed great favors has an enormous duty towards that public and in no small measure belongs to it. Mr. Davis claims several places as home and each place centers him among some the great writers of our day, friends and 'chums of Mr.

Davis. It seemed like having one's favorite authors step forth from bindings to hear him talk of Merman Douglas, Jean Cocteau, JJwnway Westcott, Ernest Hem- JHgway, and dozens of others. If Mr. Davis were not a great writer, he might very well have been a. great actor.

Doubtless he realizes that to be a writer one must understand and be able to interpret human motives. He makes a useful pastime of finding something highly dramatic in any situation-. As he walks along the streets scraps catch his fancy and'every type of face interests him. The, great charm of his conversation is enhanced by constant pantomimic gestures so ardent is his effort to make one see the thing he speaks of. One is sold if one tries to retell his Stories.

They don't reproduce tbJrough an ordinlary medium- ship. Better left to Mr. Davis! Evidently his friend, Jean Coc- teau, also knows the value of pantomime in conversation and treasures it to the extent of his strong hands and free and exposed. It is told of him that he constantly appears even in public with his sleeves turned well back. He Loves Movies Mr.

Davis loves the movies and the movie magazines and it would be hard to believe he has forgotten a single movie, good or bad, saw, with-'its-title, most of its actors and the theme. As for the movie m'aga- zines, he adores them. He says that abroad they are so rare and so greatly admired that any copies he possesses are fairly snatched from him by his friends. This would seem like the story Gertrude Stein tells of U1 -e American "funnies." She is of the American authors who a great deal abroad and if she receives home papers containing the comic sections her friends are actually grieved if she favoritism in giving them The great artist Pablo Picasso adored them. People of talent are interested in a vast scale of things; an indication of intense living, perhaps, wherein every second must catch its insect; or because they are able to appreciate a reason or the beginning of an impulse back of every trifle.

Any artist is intrigued by making things, from their love of embroidering on detail, it would seem. Mr. Davis' short story published in the September Harper's is a chapter from his yet unpublished book. Throughout this story Harper's changed the name. Davis to Travis.

But Mr. Davis had- intended recounting his own experiences and quite nkly under his own name. Likes Picturesque George Davis likes the picturesque even in his clothing and is not an adherent to the conventional. This summer he dressed in gray-blue linen or woolen suits copied from those wom by the Breton peasant. He wore even the white sabots, and often a scarf knotted on one shoulder.

Being a small person of almost feminine beauty he wears this type of clothing marvelously well. Mr. Davis loves to talk, loves to make fun, loves to gossip and will dig for details if he thinks of scandal is being i withheld. He reads so well that it 'seems more like listening to ipral recitation. And he will read Jan entire play or some of his stories as part of an entertainment with frank pleasure.

When he leaves he carries away all sorts of books and when he comes he brings an armload of his own, many of Which are inscribed by their authors with affectionate greetings. This very young man has achieved a fine and enviable life among people of genius by the simple expedient of being fine enough to do it. His author is Guide. (He plans to visit Ludington agKiu and Ludington is more than honored. His first book received its title from the following poem: fortitude the soul contains Thai, it can so endure accent of a coining foot, The opening of a door." Highest Scout Honors Awarded to Don Quinn And Geo.

Dorrell Jr. The highest honors in Sea- scout and Boy Scout work were conferred by Ludington court of honor Friday night on Don Quinn and George Dorrell Jr. Scout Quinn was elevated to the position of quartermaster, which represents the top rank in Seascouting and is the most coveted office in all departments of Scout activity.

It helps if plantings are cleaned up in :ea.rly spring and dead leaves burned. "Watch plantings during June and July for leaf injury. In small plantings or on high priced varieties the tiny borer may thus 'be discovered and crushed by hand before it into the rhizome." Several contact insecticities have been recommended and, if directions are carefully followed, prove effective. When the rhizomes are severely infested however, they cannot be profitably saved and should be destroyed. Mrs.

EJimer Ajbrahamson had with her roots showing samples the borer's work.

Mr. Hammond tias lived in the southwest and his pictures are colorful and thrilling New Mexican landscapes and figure studies. "Rarely have the desert and clear air, the aspens, the pueblos, the picturesque Indians and Mexicans been as clearly envisioned and as skillfully represented as in Hammond's sparkling water colors," says a recent criticism in the Chicago Tribune. "They are full of dust and sunshine and charm, the cold chill of night, and the hot, sultry peace of day, both found only in the arid countries where the'spell of the desert lies heavy even upon purple hills." (Mr. Hammond also recently showed some of his work at a Santa Fe, N.

The child who has been absent from previous sessions, even though he may have made up his work, finds the class discussing points he has heard nothing of and with many a child such absence and loss of touch with the class is the beginning of serious difficulties." He said the prevention of tardiness also devolves upon the 'parent and would not have unreasonable insistence on either regular or prompt attendance. The child should not be sent to school if ill or if he has been exposed to contagious disease, and tardiness" is sometimes unavoidable. But if tardiness and procrastination have become home habits and are not corrected they may become a handicap all through life; For this habit the home must be held largely responsible the speaker contended. "It helps greatly, too," -continued Mr. VandenBelt, "if parents become acquainted with the teacher, check up on what she is doing and know how their children are progressing without waiting for the report card to find out.

If the child is-'failing in something, parents and should pet together and find where the- trouble is." He explained the child usually reflects the attitude of the home and advocated mutual understanding rather than fault-finding and especially condemned fault-finding in the presence of the child. Speaking from the parent's point of view, Mr. Vand.enBelt said sometimes parents, hearing constantly from their children complaints of teacher's unfairness and partiality, came to feel that there was some just cause for such complaint and he commended "those teachers able to deal wisely and justly with their pupils and see all sides of disputes and problems brought to them. "It is not always easy," said the speaker, "to maintain the interest of all pupils but if the child is studying, not through fear of consequences if he fails but in genuine interest, he will often willingly undertake even drudgery." Mr. VandenBelt stressed the value of manifesting appreciation especially to the backward or difficult child and would have teachers careful in assigning work to be done out of school to avoid setting tasks that require effort out of proportion to the value gained.

"There are problem parents and problem teachers as well as problem children," the speaker contended, "and forbearance and co-operation all around are necessary for best results." Short Program Given Previous to Mr. VandenBelt's talk there was a brief miscellaneous program in which Mrs. A. Meny presented a fine vocal solo with piano accompaniment by Miss Lucille Johnson; Eileen Gavigan, daughter of Judge and Mrs. O.

J. Gavigan, gave a pleasing toe dance, "Alice Blue Gown," and as an encore a "Rube dance." Her mother played her piano accompaniment. Mrs. Burch explained the difficulty she had experienced in getting program numbers for this first meeting. These had moved her to read a humorous description of the ups and downs of the PT-A president's life.

During the business meeting officers of 'the association were elected to represent this organization in the city Parent-Teacher council. Resolutions prepared by Supt. H. H. Hawley, relative to the school financial situation to be sent to Gov.

Comstock, were on motipn; endorsed by the Luther During, the sqqal hour the officers and 'heads' of committees served ice cream and wafers. The 1933 catch of beaver in will probably exceed 20,000, a 20 percent increase over the teason of 1932. Revival Services At Salvation Army A series of revival meetings will open at the Salvation Army hall, 207 East Dowland street, with today's services. Envoy E. Hewlitt, a Salvationist of long standing, will be in charge of the services which will continue throughout this week.
