The publishers promptly asked the parson to write his autobiography. Last week it was published. Walkin' Preacher of the Ozarks ($2.50) by the Rev. Guy Howard, crammed with colorful hillbilly tales, is a lively account of an itinerant minister's work in isolated Ozark hamlets of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas...
