English Author's Work To Be Heard by Reading Series Audience
Magazine Sale Will Continue
Rudyard Kipling, thc man who gave the world, "East Is East and West Is West, and never the twain shall meet,” will be the subject of Dr. Frank C. Baxter's bi-weekly reading series this Wednesday As has been his custom in the past, Dr. Baxter did not disclose which .of the great English author's works he would discuss.
Kipling, who was born ln Bombay and spent most of his life in India, died about a year ago. The popularity of his early works, which were originally published in India, soon spread throughout England and later to the United States.
Known for Children’s Books He is probably best known fot some of his books for children. Among these are included such favorites as "Puck of Pook's Hill." "Wee Willie Winker,” and his "Jungle Book” series.
Most of his earlier works dealt with life in the India he was so well acquainted with. Some of these included "Barrack Room Ballads," "Plain Talcs from the Hills," and "Captains Courageous." It Is generally conceded that his best novel was 'Kim.”
First Editions Sell High Evidence which demonstrates how high Kipling stands among contemporary or recent authors lies in the fact that first editions of his works sell among the highest in the land. Recently an issue of the school paper he edited at Westward Ho!’ England, sold for $1,150.
Dr. Baxter said that he would begin the readings promptly at 10 a.m. As usual the 20-minute presentation will be given in Bovard auditorium. This will be the fifth of a series by Dr. Baxter.

No one has the right to dispossess a legal owner of his property and sit-downs cannot be Justified from any standpoint In California the governor cannot use troops unless requested to do so by a sheriff, but I heartly approve of the action taken by the Los Angeles authorities in evicting sit-down strikers from the Douglas Aircraft corporation's plant at Santa Monica."
