During the last week buyers and tourists from Indiana as well as all over the country have found much Interest in the big West coast showing of new furniture at the 25th semiannual Los Angeles Furniture Market Show, former Iloosier John Graves, manager of the mart, estimated an attendance of more than 2,500 dealers from all parts of the nation each day. One of the most publicized displays of the show, supervised by a forni'T Indianapolis tennis star, John f. Hennessey, promotional Sdlcs manager of Western Holly Stoves, featured the debut of a new televised kitchen gas range. Amu-ding to Hennessey, the solution to keeping the wife in the kitchen has been found a kitchen range with a television set built in the back guard which allows the mistress of the house to see a watched pot and Ed Wynn simultaneously.

But long before that he was writing well.

"Coming Up for Air," published in England in 1939, but not hitherto imported, is therefore a new novel for many of his admirers. It is the story of George Bowling, insurance salesman, fat, 45, false teeth, red face, butter-colored hair, living with a wife he despises in an ugly, semidetached house that is exactly like all the other ugly, semidetached houses in a London suburb. And then, taking off from there and writing in the person of George Bowling recalling his youth, Orwell goes hack to the other England before the first world war and recreates a segment of it with a truly remarkable mixture of nostalgia and unsentimental realism.

Admitting the accusation, he shows that the shameful discrimination is based on an irrational fear that has diminished but not disappeared. He disbelieves the oft-heard protestation that in the South the white man and the Negro understand each other, that both prefer the present arrangement. More important, however, is the woeful effect on the white South of a heritage of unfair dealing with a minority people. "Southern Legacy" is a book of insight by a man of good will and good sense. He writes, in a personal vein and with humor, neither an unqualified defense of the South nor an angry denunciation of her detractors.

Rather, he shows how the South got that way and how a metamorphosis is under way. II. K. Handbook Would Awaken Citizens to Civic Duties Publication of a 300-page book designed to encourage participation in government has been announced by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. Labeled "Citizenship Participation Handbook," the new publication is described as "a work-lok for Hoosiers in all walks of life ready and willing to work for the election to public offices, regardless of party affiliations, of men and women responsible to no pressure group hut qualified to manage public affairs in the interest of the general public." The book may be obtained at the state chamber's office in the Board of Trade Building for $4 a copy.

Clarence A. Jackson, executive vice-president of the Indiana State Chamber, said the purpose of the book is to "deal with political facts and public Issues, and to encourage your participation in your government, let the political chips fall where they may." The book acknowledges, the chamber said, that "there are hundreds of present, public officials throughout Indiana in both parties who are conscientious and capable and deserve the gratitude of Hoosier citizens." The book contains political analyses, a condensed 1950 "political calendar," and as supplements, material on state finances and the 104-page booklet, "Here IS Your Indiana Government." The volume was prepared by Howard Friend, state chamber research director, and other chamber staff members. AMERICA! -1 began so gaily with Herself Surprised, continued ratner somberly with "To Be a Pilgrim," and now. with "The Horse's Mouth," concludes on a note somewhere between comedy and pathos. It is neither so blithe hor so subtle as its predecessors respectively were, and how much it will signify to the reader who comes to it without first having read "Herself Surprised" I hesitate to guess.

Groene. Miss Perry is the daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Guy Perry, 50 N. Belleview and Mr. Groene Is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Stanley L. Groene, 933 N. Hawthorne Lane. The bride, given in marriage by her brother, Guy R. Perry, wore a white satin gown with an illusion yoke of appliqued lace and a cathedral veil attached to a Juliet cap.

Her cascade of white roses centered with an orchid. Miss Perry's sister, Mrs. Donald L. Willoughby, matron-of-honor, was gowned In a dress of mauve taffeta with a full skirt, fitted bodice and double bertha. Misses Carolyn and Marjorie Perry, sisters of the bride, were her bridesmaids.

They wore gowns of American beauty taffeta identical to the matron-of-honor's. HODDING CARTER haps even more strongly, the recollection of the by-blows of war. But the South also is the victim of other, disadvantages not entirely of its own making. The slave system denied to the region the advantages of the mass infusion of new blood and new ideas the North enjoyed by virture of the waves of immigrants. And the bankruptcy of the South after the war made it an economic vassal of the victorious North: nor was there any Marshall Plan then to help the shattered South regain its feet.

These are two of the ') pictures in the droll volume Simon and Schuster, using the same technique that made "The Frenchman" so amusing, will publish Friday. The caption for the fellow at left (photo by Constance Bannister, a noted baby photographer) is, "When you grow up do you think you will like girls'" The other fellow (photo by H.

And how old Gulley fights against time to finish his masterpiece is the burden of Cary's tale.

Because old Gulley is a rogue and a thief, the tale is often picturesque. Be cause he is an artist whoso pas sinn for his art ronstantlv is being frustrated, the tale is as often moving as it is hilarious. Here are scenes as grotesquely funny as that in which Gulley and a fake sculptor move in on a dilettante art collector and reduce his apartment to a shambles, and as implicitly sad as that in which Gulley on the verge of Hear Head of other guests will be Virgil Stinebaugh, superintendent of schools; H.

Herron Lists Two Exhibits "SOUTHERN LEGACY," by Hodding Carter. Baton Rouge, Louisiana Slate University Press. $3. In "Southern Legacy" Hodding Carter, novelist, short story writer, lecturer and Pulitzer prize-winning small town editor, reports on the region of his birth with the same mixture of love and honesty with which a wise mother would sum up her son with all his virtues and faults. Carter loves the South, the land of Dixie, with an abiding passion.

Yet it is not a love that blinds him to the less attractive aspects of the region. More than any other section of the nation, the South has retained a homogeneity whose roots go back to Appomatox. It still is true that many of the people are close to some fabulous ancestor to whom the war and its aftermath was a bitter, personal and sacred reality. Carter sees this stubborn legacy for the defensive thirt. it is, "a shield against the constant thrusting from the outside.

And a tragically employed excuse for wrongs since committed and right things left undone." He sees, too, the unusually strong influence of religion, as well as the characteristic that condones such acts as murder with the excuse, "He wouldn't of been much of a man If he hadn't shot them fellows." And there is something typical about the resolution by the Mississippi Legislature which "solemnly warns Premier Stalin of Communistic Russia that its patience is exhausted." It is this Southern spirit which shouts, "Just leave us alone," when others try to meddle in Southern affairs. As Carter notes, the reelection of the late Senator Bilbo was made certain by the Interference of the very outsiders who desired his defeat.
