Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 7 Fred W. Leu ("Will Blood Tell?" on page 3) comes from a line of Swiss farmers, though he was born in America. All of you sons of the soil know that farming means hard work, and this author started to earn at the age of ten as a "devil" in a country print shop. He has done a great deal of printing, writing, advertising, and promoting since then, as well as attaining a college degree and four years of law study. Daniel Poling, world Christian Endeavor leader, dubbed him "Christian Endeavor Expert" when he was about twenty-one, but, Mr. Leu declares, "We´ll be discreet and not mention the year." Wally Feltman ("Chappie," page 7), who entered the Navy from the middle of high school, has written several articles on his experiences in the service, and sold one to Pic magazine. You may find someone you know in the pages of his article. James Blish ("The Torrid Type," page 11) informs us that this story was one of the prize-winners in the Writers´ Digest short-story contest last year. It marks his 65th appearance in print, exclusive of newspaper writing. During the war Mr. Blish was a medical laboratory technician in an Army hospital, and now manages a rewrite service for ailing manuscripts. Mr. Blish says his wife is also a writer, but they hope the little girl, aged five, "will grow up to be sensible instead." Marion Wefer ("A Psychiatrist During the Terror," page 16) is a registered nurse, a minister´s wife, and a writer. She is best known as a dramatist, having won several national prizes for religious plays. Her latest prizewinner was "Ladies with Lamps," which took first honors for a one-act play in a contest sponsored by the Philadelphia Art Alliance and The American National Theatre and Academy. She contributes to Plays, Player´s Magazine, and conducts the theatre department of the Methodist student magazine, Motive. William T. Doro ("How to Get a Date," page 26) is the teen-age son of Gertrude Doro, whose work you have seen in Link´s pages before. Bill also writes poetry. Rhon Winkler ("Loyalty, First Class," page 29) tells us this is a true story. "Should my buddies who served with me on Christmas Island read it," he declares, "they will recognize John immediately and agree that we needed more men like him on those lonely outposts." S/Sgt. Winkler explains that the article was written for a night-school assignment on the popular Reader´s Digest topic, "The Most Unforgettable Character I Ever Met." He confides that when he wrote about people he knew, he made better grades, and that his buddies at Wheeler Air Force Base in Hawaii made good critics. Now we´ll submit it to you. Francis C. Stifler ("Jefferson´s Bible," page 35) is secretary of public relations of the American Bible Society. This organization is also represented in The Link by James V. Claypool, former Navy chaplain, who contributes your "Daily Rations" each month. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
