OCTOBER
BOOK CORNER
By LUCILLE HEFFNER
“A good book is the best of
friends, the same today and for
ever.”
—F. Tapper.
If all the ghosts and goblins
don’t play too many pranks on you
tonight and you have to spend
next week scrubbing soap off win
dows, we have some new books to
tell you about. Our first is a James
Hilton production.
We’re sure that you remember,
with excitement, moments in “Mrs.
Miniver”, “So Well Remembered”
and “Lost Horizon”. Hilton’s novel
is called “Nothing So Strange”.
It is the story of two modern peo
ple—a young American, who both
as a scientist and as a man, is
faced by life’s greatest problems;
and the girl who gave him all her
heart and brain.
Jane was only eighteen when she
met Dr. Bradley. Both she and
her mother were attracted to him
and the situation thus engendered
proved fateful, since it led to the
doctor’s association with a great
Viennese physicist and to involve
ment in a tragic drama. Jane’s
love weaves the story into a pat
tern of deeply moving and signifi
cant events. Exciting and human
as are all of Hilton’s stories, you’ll
not want to miss “Nothing So
Strange.”
The world’s most romantic age,
told in magnificent splendor, is set
alive in Lion Feuchtwanger’s
“Proud Destiny”. Here is the glit
tering pomp and elegance of Ma
rie Antoinette’s court, where amor
ous courtiers, spying servants,
conspiring diplomats and frivolous
women play the game of royalty.
Moving among them all is the
towering figure of Benjamin
Franklin, pitting his wits and
wisdom against fading monarchy
to win arms and money for the
American Revolution. In one sen
tence it is—a vast and stirring
story of the empire whose dying
fires lighted the new world. Ask
for "Proud Destiny.”
We again want to remind you
of the best sellers, according to
The New York Times Book Re
view, that are on our shelves. “The
Moneyman”, Costain; “Prince of
Foxes”, Shellabarger; “Gentle-
man’s Agreement”, Hobson; ‘The
Vixens”, Y e r b y; “Kingsblood
Royal”, Lewis; “The Harder They
Fall”, Schulberg; “The Bright
Promise”, Sherman; “Proud Des
tiny”, Feuchtwanger and “The
Big Sky”, Guthrie.
Next month we hope to have a
list of new books. Watch this col
umn!

tograph will be wanted, not your

EDUCATION IS A LOT
OF THINGS
The day after the circus came
to town, a teacher of the first
grade received the following ex
cuse for the absence of one of her
pupils;
“Dear Teacher: Education, you
know, is a lot of things. It is read
ing and writing and ciphering.
It is ‘Yes, please’ and ‘Yes, thanks’
and ‘No, thank you.’ It is the wash
ing of hands and the use of forks.
It is pencils and scissors and paste
and erasers and chalk dust. It is
the smell of a schoolroom early
Monday morning. It is the excite
ment of vacations. It is autumn
bonfires and sleds and puddle-
wading.
“Yes, education is a lot of things.
It is a brass band blaring and a
calliope tootling. Education is a
woman shot from a gun, a man on
a tightrope, a seal playing a tune
with his nose. It is sideshow bark
ers, clowns, lions, cotton candy,
cowboys and spangles. Education
is the wonderment of new things
and new sensations. It is in short,
a circus!
“That’s why Ginger wasn’t in
your classroom yesterday. Excuse
it, please.”
Rule Changes In

to 60 feet, instead of 55. The uni
forms will be of the same color.
Formerly, the pitcher was re
quired to wear black. If the catcher
desires to receive an intentional
pass, he may stand anywhere
within the lines of the catcher’s
box. The fourth rule recommended
was that the batter’s box will re
turn to 3 feet by six.

Warningr T'o Parkers
In an effort to prevent congestion in front of the
plant, thus lessening the possibility of accidents, the
North Carolina State Highway Patrol has asked that
no cars be parked across the road on the west side of
the highway. In the future, cars which are found
parked on that side will be tagged, the Highway De
partment warns. Your coroperation is asked in this
matter.

Champagne Printing
Church Bulletins
A neat, cleanly-printed church
bulletin adds much to the dignity
and success of a worship program.
Contributing its part to the Sun
day morning worship hours of the
churches in this community is our
Champagne Job Printing depart
ment which is printing the church
bulletins for four churches in this
section.
The churches now benefiting
from this public service of our
company are the First Methodist
church of Brevard, the Rev. Wil
bur G. McFarland, pastor; the Lit
tie River Baptist church, the Rev
F. M. Bames, pastor; the Presby
terian church of Brevard, the Rev
Walter P. Baldwin, pastor; the
First Baptist church of Brevard,
the Rev. B. W. Thomason, pastor.
New offset printing equipment
recently purchased by Champagne
enable it to produce a printed bul
letin which is much more attractive
than a mimeograph bulletin. The
pastors have expressed their ap
preciation for this service as it not
only gives them a better printed
bulletin, but relieves them of the
job, or at least seeing that some
one else does it.
The toughest thing about suc
cess is that you’ve got to keep on
being a success. Talent is only a
starting point in business. You’ve
got to keep working that talent—
Think.
