If the child is the father of the
man, then probably the most last-
ing heritage the child gives to him
comes from the world of fantasy
and fairy tales. Whether fairy stor-
ies are learned from books, par-
ents. songs, friends, relatives or
teachers, it is hard to imagine a
person whom they have passed by,
and who would not immediately re-
call the stories suggested by pas-
sages like these:
— Somebody has been tasting
my
porridge, and eaten it all up !"
"Not by the hair on my ehmt,y-
chto-chm"
"The sky is falling !"
nFee-filo-fum"
In one of the most popular of
American fairy tale collections,
"The Oak-Tree Fairy Book" (Dover
paperback reprint), Clifton John-
son brings together, in a single
volume, virtually all of the fairy
tales that American children re-
member best.
A delightful compliment to "The
Oak-Tree Fairy Book" is a collec-
tion of rare and enchanting tales
from the Irish folk tradition,
"Donegal Fairy Stories" (Dover
paperback reprint). Collected from
the stories he first heard as a boy,
the well-known Irish writer Seu-
mas MacManus retells these tales
with the mastery of an old shan-
achie (teller of legends), captur-
ing the vernacular and rustic
flavor of old Ireland.
The Tragedy of Iraq
The Jewish community of Iraq,
now terrorized by hangings, is the
oldest Jewish- community in the
world outside of Palestine with a
history of more than 2,500 years.
In 1945, some 90,000 of Iraq's
140,000 Jews lived in Baghdad,
comprising 25 per cent of that
city's population. At that time
Baghdad had over 50 Jewish
schools and 26 synagogues. Now,
all are closed and only a handful
of Jews remain.
Hell is paved with good inten-
tions, not bad ones. All men mean
well. —George Bernard Shaw.
