'Jr. Altruistic Club
Hears Book Review
By Mrs. Cummings
“The Townsman,” John Sledges’
best-seller, was reviewed by Mrs.
A. D. Cummings for the Junior
Altruistic Club at the group’s
meeting Friday.
The meeting was for the club’s
annual Guest Day program, and
16 guests, including two from out
of town, were present.
The club met at the home of
Mrs. Sid Perryman, with Mrs.
Travis Edwards 'co-hostesses, and
Mrs. C. V. Morgan, program, chair-
man, introduced the guest speak-
er.
The author of “The Townsman”
gives no biographical information,
except to say that the novel grew
out of “intimate family background
and experience,” Mrs. Cummings
told her listeners.
The story is that of Jonathan
Goodfille, born in England, brought
to this country when his lusty fa-
ther tears up roots of the family
and drags them to America. Johna-
than was 16 when they came to
a town in Kansas. He stayed there
all his life, watching the wagons
go through, then the railroads. He
built a town, taught school, loved
one woman and married another,
reared his children and saw them
go. And still he stayed, for the end
of a life long and rich and mean-
ingful.
The next meeting will be May
3, with Mrs. E. C. Hallman.
Guests were, besides the re-
viewer:" Mmes. Coe Ellis, John
Neal, D. G. Brown of Dallas,
Floyd Ard, Dudley Myers, Cleo
Campbell, E. H. Griffin, Tom Bass,
E. F. Robertson, L. E. Perkins,
