Garden and. BOOK WORM By CAROLYN KOLLS Some books are not intended for the ‘‘gentle’”’ reader. Ro- main Gary’s The Dance of Genghis Cohn is such a book. Both in content and in form this work is a product of the mid-60’s, and is meant for the reader who can cope both with the ideas and the styles of our times. The Dance of Genghis Cohn is an allegory, and, like most al- legories, meant to be studied, contemplated, and discussed. Its figures are meant to be manipulated and interpreted, and its intent is not to soothe. The story line centers around the dybbuk (or ghost, if you will) of a Jewish prisoner at Auschwitz, who, in the final moment of his life, showed his contempt for his captors and executioners by turning his posterior to their guns. Through some ‘quirk of fate this dybbuk comes to inhabit the body and mind of the young German of- ficer who gave the command to fire. By the time of this book the two characters have become inextricably inter- mingled, and it is a strange paranoid character who is forced to deal with an even stranger ‘‘case’’ in his capa- city as Police Commissioner. A fine literary work of our generation, but not recom- mended for the timid. surprise call from Vietnam Mr. and Mrs. Charles Patla, Mooretown, received a surprise telephone call from, their son, Spc.4 Charles J. Patla in Lai- Khe, Vietnam, Friday morn- ing, May 2. Mr. Patla was not at home when the call came through via Mars Radio relayed from Oklahoma. But Mrs. Patla and 19 year old son, Jimmy talked to Charles who has been in Vietnam with the 28th Infantry Division as an M60 machine gunner since July, 1968. Mrs. Patla found it almost .too much to believe when she received another surprise from Charles on Mothers’ Day—a dozen long-stemmed American Beauty roses by way of Hawaii. Charles, a 1965 graduate of Lake-Lehman High School, en- tered service in February, 1968, and: took his basic ‘training at Fort Jackson. His brother, Edward, 21, is stationed in Thailand with the 809th Engineers Battalion and will be discharged in Decem- ber. The Patlas expect Charles to return to the states in July.
