"I'm trying to prove that anybody doing five jobscan be prosperous," says this part-time novelist .

s~k ARY 28 WAS A BIG DAY for George Madison Grooms, '47ba, Oklahoma City .J -I"hat's the date on which the Macmillan Company published his first novel, a west-ern entitled Edit with Lead.

Concerning a crusading newspaper editor who uses both newsprint and bulletsfor his purposes, the book is set in Nevada . "I first saw Nevada from the top side ofa Western Pacific freight train," said (:rooms, "and I never could forget the ruggedhigh country.

"While the story takes place in the shadow of violence and ends with violence,"he added, "it isn't the usual slam-bang western. Some of the ideas are carefully re-searched."

Grooms learned the art of careful research back some dozen years ago ; while work-ing toward a degree in psychology, he studied writing techniques under Foster Harrisin the University of Oklahoma's professional writing curriculum .

Born in Ranger, Texas, at the start of the Roaring Twenties, (rooms grew up inthe drifting, insecure Thirties, the heart of the Great Depression : "I delivered papersnight and day for six years. Always liked to travel . During the lean years I taughtEnglish in high school and used to hitchhike down to ()Id Mexico every summer andwork for a tourist company."

In the course of three years service with the Infantry during the second World War,he saw action in the Battle of the Bulge and was decorated for it . "But the Bulge," hedeclared, "was a picnic compared to teaching."

(:rooms studied at the Universities of Nebraska and Nancy (France) as well as at() . U. His favorite subjects : snooker and pool, philosophy and history.

Today he works for an Oklahoma City hydraulic hoist manufacturing company ."Whatever is needed," he said, "1'm it . I'm salesman, drill press operator, steel sat+'man, cutting torch handle, and just plain grunt. In my spare time I write some ad-vertising copy, and sometimes I work on my second novel."

Yet, if anyone believes ( :rooms' crammed work schedule has cut the wanderlustout of the man, then he is dead wrong.

"My favorite vice," he said, "is fishing-anywhere, anytime, anyhow . We havea tent and a battered station wagon, and the wife and kids are ready to go camping ata second's notice . In fact, they give me 'notice' these busy days while Fin trying; toprove that anybody doing five jobs can be prosperous ."
