LOCK BUT DON'T EAT THORNE, England (CP) — A tin of bully beef, 1914 vintage, was on the table at a dinner held by this Yorkshire town’s = ex-servicemen’s association. But the old soldiers considered the beef too valuable a souvenir of the First World War to eat— it was only for show. Woman feels role of “token widow” TORONTO (CP) Betty Jane Wylie, at the age of 48, admits that she has taken on the role of “Canada's token widow.” When her husband Bill manager of the Stratford Festival Theatre, died unexpectedly and in the rime of life at age 45, . Wyle was left a housewife with four children to raise alone. After the first shock waves swirled over her, ‘she turned to free-lance writing and an article three years ago in Maci- ean’s magazine on what it was like to be a widow brought enormous response, as did a later one in the The Canadian magazine. Mrs. Wylie then built some basic information on widowhood into 4 series of brochures for the Canadian Life In- surance These now have been added to and just ublished as a. book, pginnings, A Book for Widows, by McClelland and Stewart. NEED UN- DERSTANDING She said she has found a “huge sisterheod out there who have someone to whom they can say, ‘At last there's somebody who understands.’ “T find I'm merely the vehicle for voicing what everyone else is feeling. You really have to have been through it to mow what it’s like.” Mrs. Wylie said that ‘no matter how slick and glamorous life seems, there’s this closeness to Reviewed for CP By MARK KING There are no heroes in this book. The plot is thin but intense. In Timothy Findley’s new novel The Wars, we live a young soldier's reaction to the First World War. Not yet 20, Robert Ross, a sensitive young man, joins the Canadian army as an officer. From his religious home in Toronto, we follow him — through training camp and on to the terror of battle. The book is an in- trospective look at Ross’s reaction to the war and the confusion it creates in him, Although not, a new subject for a novel, the: author handles it in a A different look at war unique manner that makes it one of the best written about the great war. It builds to a powerful ending and leaves the reader with the sense of waste that can’t be captured by the photographs and stories we remember about all wars. Born in Toronto, Timothy Findley is a professional actor who now spends his time writ- ing. His credits include the bocks, The Last of the Crazy People and the Butterfly Plague, and co- authorship of the award- winning television show The National Dream.

We know that what we have in common is pain.” It seems the pain, not just for Mrs. Wylie but for the 900,000 other widows across the country, is just like her tears. “They may subside,” she said, “but they never go away.” For all her tenderness and sensitivity, Mrs. Wiley is not above giving advice to widows to get going with their lives again that is well above a gentle prod. “It takes time to learn to be a wife,” she writes. “Perhaps it takes equal time to learn to be a widow, longer, because there’s no one to help you learn. It is a more painful process and it is singular.” Actor breaks leg on location LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Landon, star and executive producer of NBC’s Little House on the Prairié, is working with a new cast—one that covers his left leg from the knee down. Landon broke his ankle while playing tennis at his Beverly Hills home last weekend, NBC publicist Paul Bailey said Thursday. Landon had spent two weeks on location in Tucson, Ariz., where he directed a two-hour television movie in nearby rugged terrain. He returned without a. ankle his first day back. ss SES LTP oS oa NA ESE CK) oe te BS one ox esrananecee RAI? Nalatateleratete: es CE SEEPS e. aK est 2 a ss ee Eo > + eo , a Sn a Si!

It dn’t seem to be the right time to finish it. But now that I have written something fairly com- plex, I am satisfied.” Bel Ria is a spirited little black terrier who brings new life to those who come to love him. A tful and sensitive story set against the backdrop of Second World War, the novel is filled with the author’s memories of her life as an ambulance driver and untrained nurse in England during the war. “T wanted to write ~ about animals and how their indeterminate litde lives a on the. canvas of war,” said Mrs. Burnford. A story of men and ships By IRVING WHYNOT Any navy man will tell you at the ship he sailed was the t, the fightingest, the most important of all. lames B. Lamb is no exception as he lets his obvious and perhaps understandable bias for the Second World War corvettes hang out like fluttering signal flags from the pages of The Corvette Navy. Lamb was a corvette skipper and says early in his book without any apparent thought that anyone should think differently: “This little ship, and all the others like her, were the principal weapon which brought victory in the war's longest, hitte- rest, and most vital battle. ...” Now what is a destroyer man likely to say to that! serateh, but broke his“; Revertieions, the ‘gervette was the right ship at the right time and < a SR mb SS Ma a A RICE SR LAS RR OR RD SS SS eer 050.910.900.820) eeneee ra nt Be id SOT WRK RIOR TOS a SSSA SS SCR AO SOLO SE SK RUS cen = — © PP EEEES 9,0,0,0.0.0-0.0.0-0.0- 007 eegecatoterars oe SES although usually manned by a crew of- young amateurs made an un- doubted major con- tribution in the Battle of the Atlantic. Lamb's story is a montage of memories, not only of ships but of men and the good times and bad times they shared. And he has a sailor's respect for the sea. “Awe, and fear, of the ocean grew on everyone who sailed over it, winter and summer, year after year.” Lamb looks back with honesty and feeling but in the end he expresses the haunting doubts of those who fought: “One had a sense of destiny in those days; of being a part of historic events, of helping to mould a new and better world, a. ’ “How innocent, how naive, how pathetic it all seems now!” DOG KNEW WAR Bel Ria makes his way through war-torn France in the company of a travelling circus, becomes mate on an’ illfated battleship and is adopted as the beloved companion of a childiess window in the quiet h countryside. e the earlier novel, Bel Ria is an adventure tale for readers of all ages, which the author says “will hopefully prove itself to he popular.’ The In- credible Journey, which was adapted for a Walt Disney movie, was translated into 17 languages and achieved international distribution. The story told of three courageous animals, an old bull terrier, a young labrador and a Siamese eat, who journeyed hundreds of miles to return to their owners. Born in Scotland 59 years ago, Mrs. Burnford came to Canada in 1948 with the same in- domitable spirit she injects into her animal ‘oes. In 1966 she travelled to Antarctica as part of a marine biology ex- pedition and to East Africa in the early 1970s. After se in Thunder Bay, Ont., the Burnfords often ventured to Northern Ontario In- dian reserves for hunting. Mrs. Burnford has also written three non-fiction books, two of which deal with life among the Inuit and Northern Ontario Indians. Fl Ria, Sheila Burn- foru; 204 pages: $10 McClelland and Stewart.
