Ad. CASTLEGAR NEWS, May 6, 198) Nfld. writer to visit Area residents will have the chance to meet a talented young writer and glean an insight into contemporary Newfoundland life, when he gives a reading and slide presentation at 7:30 p.m. in the Castlegar branch of the brary. Rave reviews and four major literary awards fol- lowed the publication of ‘Holdfast,’ the first novel written by young Newfound- land writer, Kevin Major; and his second novel ‘Far from Shore’ has met with similar acclaim from the re- viewers. Major's novels explore con- temporary teenage life witha depth of insight which re- veals his acute sensitivity to the problems and anxieties of young people. He keeps in touch with them through his teaching work and his first venture into publishing was prompted by his realization that few novels had char- acters in any way like the « students in his own classes. This lack of relevant read- ing material inspired him to collect Newfoundland writing into an anthology, illustrated by his own photos of New- foundland, which he called ‘Dorylands’ and this is now being used as a text in the province's high schools. His ability to thus portray the realism of adolescent life has brought him widespread popularity through Canada and the United States.

And the fact that we all take it for granted is even more of * ‘a wonder.” “The contradiction be- tween life and nature is very real, to be in nature is life giving but to be there with- out life support can easily be life taking. The contradiction between the land sustaining us and using up the resources up is elso very real and I like to think about and try to convey some of these con- tradictions in- my work as well as live with them.” On June 18 and 14 there will be a’ printmaking work- shop at the NEC with Evelyn Armstrong, This will involve a discussion of the print- ‘making process with ex- amples of the artist-teacher's own work and the work of other artists through slides and actual prints.

HITS MORE SNAGS_ On May 5; he had to sweat out other delays. First, there was the weather again, then On May 5,: 1961, Alan B. Shepard Jr, became the first, American. launched into space. - Many remarkable things have happened since — moon landings, space walks, orbit-- ing stations ‘and. now, : the space shuttle: °°” i Shepart.: watched last month when the first shuttle, | Columbia, and its two pilots roared into ‘orbit on a flaw- tess maiden flight,. “It was fantastic, he said, “We've come a long way in 20 years. The shuttle is going:to revolutionize the Way we op- - erate in space.” HUGE IN COMPARISON - Twenty. of Shepard's Mer-_ cury capsules could fit inside Columbia's cargo bay. “In Mercury. we followed a. ballistic course to.an ocean landing and never’used the capsule again,” said’ Shep-~' ard, now a wealthy. Houston businessman. ~ M “The.shuttle pilots can fly. this ship toa landing on a - runway and take it up again at few weeks later.” In an interview,’ Shepard * reflected on his pathfinding flight, his battle back from * medical oblivion to earn .a trip to the moon and his hopes for the’ shuttle. He might have been the first human. in: space if ;a chimpanzee named Ham had not overshot his ’ Atlantic Ocean target by a few miles because of a faulty electrical relay. Ham's journey, in Jan- uary, 1961, was a dress ‘re- * hearsal for Shepard's flight, which had been set for. March. Because of the relay prob- -lem, the National Aerenau- tices and Space Administra- tion decided to. launch an-- ‘other Mercury capsule, mon- faults in an electrical system, a ground computer and the rocket’s fuel pressure. ~ At one point during a hold in the: countdown, ‘Shepard, slightly irritated, barked into his micropione: “Why don't you -fix your ‘little problem « : ind light this candle?” ’ Finally the “candle” burat ‘into flame and Shepard was on his way. He spent most of ‘the up-and-down | flight re- porting insturment: readings : to Mission Control at Cire Canaveral. He found time to exclaim ‘little more than, “Boy, what .a ride!” and - “What a beautiful view!” _ ‘Twenty: days’ later : then- : president John F.
