MR. FORMAN RESUMESHIS POPULAR SEMINARIN CREATIVE WRITING

The "Seminar in Creative Writ-ing" to be conducted by HenryJames Porman beginning Monday,January 11, at 3 p.m., will be acontinuation of the popular coursesbegun last year by the distinguish-ed former managing editor of Col-lier's. The elusive technique ofwriting short stories, articles andnovels for publication will be thegeneral subject of study but Mr.Forman will give special concentra-ted attention to the particular pro-blems of each student.

The discussion group method isparticularly helpful, Mr. Formanfeels, because it sharpens the cri-tical faculty of a neophyte writerto learn to detect the false notesand weak points in another's workas well as in his own. He cites thetriumphant story of one seventy-five year old pupil who had writtenall her life but had never sold any-thing. After perfecting a travel ar-ticle in Mr. Forman's class, he sug-gested she "begin at the top" bysending1 it to the Atlantic Monthly.It was accepted immediately.

A former editor of the LiteraryDigest, the North American Reviewand author of many books, Mr.Forman continues his writing tire-lessly between classes and is read-ing the final proofs of his latestbook, a study of Great World Re-ligions soon to be published in NewYork.

"Reuesued Owl "

TWENTY YEARS! Yes it wastwenty years ago that Mr. CharlesP. Hammond, lather of the presenteditors, introduced Topics to Win-ter Park society. To celebrate thisanniversary, invitations were sentto all the> original subscribers ask-ing them to attend a party at theHammond home, December 12th.

Whether or not the Editors weresurprised the Owl doesn't know,but others certainly were to seethe number of first editioners whoresponded. A wee mite less youth-ful they were perhaps than on theday when that first copy of Topicswas placed in their mail boxes,but still peppy.

Old memories were recalled; abirthday cake with twenty candles,was cut; and, with slices of cakeclutched in their fingers and bitsof frosting sweetening their lips,they were shooed out on the lawnwhere a photographer did his worstby them, as is the wont with grouppictures. (P. S. Those- photographs

came out very well after all.Apologies, Mr. Photographer.)

And now the Owl extends greet-ings to you. If yo\i have been awayduring the summer, he congratu-lates you on finding' yourself oncemore in this choicest of environ-ments. If you were here all sum-mer, or most of it, he congratu-lates you on your good judgement.

Since we last met as members ofthe Topics family much has hap-pened, some good, some not entire-ly happy. We thought for a timethat bold, bad men of the CountySchool Board were out to steal apart of our beloved Mead Garden;but wise counsels prevailed — bymeans of a hot time at the polls.Things were really hot for a time,but it is all over now, the gardenis saved and no grudges are nurs-ed.

The old contest for free or paid-for garbage collection came upagain and stayed up. Now everyonepays for removal of undesirable ac-cumulations beside his own backdoor, and those of us who are notentirely relieved of city taxes byhomestead exemption are not com-pelled to pay a disproportionateshare for this service. The Owl doesnot believe that one half, or less, ofthe population should pay for po-lice and fire protection, togetherwith schooling and other public ser-vices, for the other and larger por-tion who are tax exempt.

And now the Owl wishes you asomewhat belated but neverthelessa sincere Happy New Year.'

FINAL ISSUE OF FLORIDA MAGAZINE OF VERSEA WORTHY TRIBUTE TO ITS REVERED EDITOR

A sympathetic, moving and ginning in 1954 for the "best ori-worthy tribute to the late Charles ginal unpublished poem of 32 linesHyde Pratt of Winter Park, found- or less, any form, any subject."er and editor of the Florida Maga- Mrs. Pratt reports a warm andzine of Verse which he published generous response of donations to-for more than a decade, is conveyed ward the Memorial Fund,throughout the recently issued Me-morial Number of the magazine,prepared under the supervision ofhis talented wife and assistant edi-tor, Helen Aubrey Pratt. This fin-al issue is now gracing the news-stands as a farewell gesture to oneof Winter Park's most culturedgentlemen.

On an opening page, Mrs. Pratthas reproduced the characteristicphotograph of Mr. Pratt sitting inhis study with manuscript in hand,and has added the quotation, "Ser-enely live . . . and meet death sing-ing." Mr. Pratt died Sept. 8, 1953in his 83rd year.

The memorial issue comprises achoice selection of Mr, Pratt's ownpoems and verse composed overthe years, as well as his inimitablecomments and writings on the phil-osophy of living and poetry, whichwere one and the same to him. Mrs.Prat t writes: "This issue of Flor-ida Magazine of Verse mirrors thewords, of Charles Hyde Pratt." Shereveals for the first time the thinlyveiled identity of the gay "ThomasCollins," a mysterious personalitywho has often been the source ofamusement to the magazine's read-ers through the years. The whim-sical Tampa poet turns out to havebeen Mr. Pratt himself.

Mrs. Prat t has announced two"Living Memorials" in honor of theeminent editor, the friend and bene-factor of so many creative artists;The first is the Charles Hyde PrattMemorial Fund, from which an an-nual award of $60.00 will be madeby the English faculty of RollinsCollege to an outstanding creativewriting student.

Miss Loines Records the Fascinating Story of HerAncestors Who Were Pioneers in the China TradeTHE CHINA TRADE POST-BAGof the Seth Low Family of Salemand New York

Edited by Elma LoinesFalmouth Publishing House, Man-chester, Maine, 1953, 824 Pages.Price $12.50. Introduction bySamuel Eliot Morison.

Reviewed byWYNDHAM HAYWARD

"These Lows were remarkablepeople. . . . Here it all is, the bigami the small, the successes andfailures, the love and affection ofone of those old mercantile familiesof New England who helped tobuild the wealth and fame of theport of New York . . . " So writesProf. Morison, himself an eminenthistorian of naval and other mari-time affairs, in his introduction.

This new work has been com-piled with loving loyalty, scholarlycare and attention by one ofWinter Park's well known winterresidents, Miss Elma Loines, wholives with her sister, Miss HildaLoines, on Osceola Court in a homeof severely modest proportionsand elegant garden surroundings.

The Loines sisters are of thefourth generation of Lows, great-granddaughters of pioneer mer-chant Seth Low who moved hisfamily from Salem to Brooklynin the 1820's and established thesea-going dynasty which was to

rule the waves in the mid-centurydecades with those great oceangreyhounds of the clipper ship era.The Misses Elma and Hilda aregranddaughters of the charming,adventuresome and b e a u t i f u lHarriet Low, daughter of Seth,who was the first American spin-ster to go out to the Orient withthe Yankee traders.

Harriet Low's daughter, MaryHillard Loines, mother of Elmaand Hilda, lived to be 100 yearsold, dying in 1944, and is well re-membered as a winter visitor toWinter Park a decade ago. Thebook is dedicated to her.

The fabulous Harriet's journal,in the form of a condensation pre-pared around 1900 by her daughterKatherine, (about one third of theoriginal text) forms the mosthumanly interesting part of MissLoines' book, for this reviewer, andis reprinted from the privatelypublished family edition of a halfcentury ago. To this are now addedfrom the vast storehouse of Lowfamily letters and ledger books,c l i p p e r logs and sea-captain'smemories, an amazing and en-thralling collection of raw rna-terial for historians of the Chinatrade period of American historyand the history of the Far East ofthe time, 1829-1873.

Miss Loines has done a remarka-ble piece of spadework from thegreat storehouse of her family'spapers, mostly now in the Libraryof Congress. Her "China TradePost-Bag" contains the meat of adozen novels, the plots of anynumber of plays, and poetic ma-!'terial for the greatest epic ofAmerican enterprise, courage andresourcefulness yet set down.

It is a colorful book, a fascina-ting tapestry of sea-faring NewEnglanders, Chinese teas, silks andmusk, camphor, scarves and pon-gees. Exciting as any novel, thrill-ing as any adventure tale, poignantto a pang, as when the lovelyHarriet gives up her secret fiancein Macao at her uncle's demand . . •because he was "unstable in char-acter" and "of no fixed purpose."

Above and beyond all is itsliving human interest and ab-sorbing exposition of the roman-tic China trade era, the times ofHouqua, famous Canton merchantof the 40's, (S, S, Pierce still sells"Houqua Tea") the Opium War,the dealings of Russell & Co. of

Especially interesting are thebrief biographical sketches of lead-ing and minor figures on the Chinascene, including the Lows of threegenerations, the merchant Houqua,Dr. Robert Morison, the Britishdivine who translated the Bible in-to Chinese at Macao, and GeorgeChinnery who painted such brilli-ant portraits, of the Lows, severalof them reproduced in the book.Chinnery was an English artistwho was apparently hiding out atthe time from his wife at Macao,the little Paris of the Far East,with its opera, theatre and sophis-ticated social life,

The Lows, as Prof. Morison re-marks, were wonderful letter-writers, and, best of all, they savedtheir letters all during a halfcentury. As a result, Miss Loineshas been able to produce a workwhich should remain standard forstudents of the Chinese trade formany years. It should be requiredreading for every American diplo-mat and consular official in theFar East, and should certainly be
