Uncle Louis, the hero of ROBERT FONTUNE’S story, was also the hero of his play, The Happy Time, which ran in New York for seventy-seven weeks and which is now being “immortalized in celluloid.”Uncle Louis is a man who believes in the impossible and achieves it with a minimum of fuss. “As for me,”says Mr. Fontaine, “my colorless career includes everything from a window dresser’s assistant in Ottawa to a comptometer operator in the National City Bank of New York. A decade ago I discovered I could write and that writing was the ideal occupation for a man who liked to get up at noon and watch the bluejays go to bed. I have been at it ever since.”

Sportsman, author, and conservationist, CLARK C. VAN FLEETis a native Californian who for more than four decades has roamed the forests and fished the streams of the West Coast. Like every true lover of wildlife, he is appalled by the carelessness with which politicians and government officials invade national parks and game sanctuaries which were thought to be inviolate. In the case he is describing, the Pentagon is to blame.
