PAGE SIXTEEN THE ECHO NOVEMBEB, 194' I i I ' i h- ' ', I ;u Let’s Read A Book By LUCILLE HEFFNER Time’s a-wastin’, if you haven’ visited your Library recently. It’s yours, for pleasure, relaxation an enjoyment. For the asking, worlds of adventure, love, the arts and sciences are in your hands. Current best-sellers, in fiction and non-fiction, are here in abundance. Come in soon, won’t you? The first book on our list this month, a request of yours, is CAME A CAVALIER by Frances Parkinson Keyes. It is a story of Constance Galt, a beautiful girl whose outlook is limited by bounds of poverty and intolerance; and whose faith in mankind has been shattered by an unhappy love affair. In France, serving with the American Red Cross, at the end of World War I, she finds a measure of happiness with a young doctor. But it is the “com ing of a cavalier,” Tristan, a French cavalry officer that trans forms the story into a triangle or rather a foursome, since in delible memories of her first love are stamped on her soul, story of love, in peace and in war. You don’t dare miss CAME A CAVALIER. Wakeman scores again! First, it was “Shore Leave,” then “The Hucksters,” and now, THE SAX ON CHARM. Frederic Wakeman has the unique gift for the crea tion of characters that remain a part of the reader’s life. Matt Saxon, the central figure, was undeniably fascinating, making overnight hits of plays, despite seemingly insurmountable ob stacles, criticism, lack of funds. He was hated by scores of people, while they admitted his great ness. A young novelist, attempt ing to get ahead, his wife, and other associates, become puppets under the magnetism of the “Saxon charm.” You’ll forever remember THE SAXON CHARM. And here is one for you sports fans. Written by J. C. Taylor Spink, JUDGE LANDIS AND TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF BASEBALL is as thrilling as a World Series final. Baseball first discovered Kene- saw Mountain Landis in 1915, when the old Federal League sued Organized Baseball for vio lation of the Anti-Trust Laws. Landis, then a Federal judge, handled the case—thus the birth of the first commmissioner of baseball ensued. The inside story of baseball is revealed for the very first time. All the immortals are here—Ban Johnson, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Tris Speaker and others. Fast-moving and thorough ly enjoyable is this startling revelation of truth about baseball. If you’re willing to learn the facts about World War II in Europe, Col. Robert S. Allen has written the naked truths in his first-hand, authoritative account of the Third Army’s triumphant sweep across Europe. Answers to many questions are given. Why, for example, did the High Com mand prevent Patton and his Third Army fron ending the war in 1944; what was the real reason for the Battle of the Bulge; and how were the Germans able to surprise us? The answers to these questions, and more, are uncovered in LUCKY FORWARD by Col. Robert S. Allen, soldier and author. More news and interesting ^oks we’ll have for you soon. Victor Sigmon And J. L Nicholson Bag Five 'Coons Weighing 40 Lbs Their Catch Apparently Is Record For The Season Among Local Hunters ’Coon huntin’ time is here—and setting up a mark for other ’coon hunters to shoot at are Victor Sig mon of Inspection and J. L. Nich olson of Champagne who recent ly bagged five in one night. Since many hunters come back empty-handed from all-night ex peditions, this catch is remarkably good. The five weighed a total of more than 40 pounds so there was no scarcity of coon meat around the Sigmon household for some time. The ’coons were caught near Vic’s house out from Rosman on the Pickens highway. Vic has four dogs but the two shown in the pic ture on this page figured most prominently in the recent catch. His prize young dog is a seven- months old registered Treeing Walker, who answers to the name, “Mack”. His best older dog is Lou, a Blue Tick, who is one of the best, Vic says. The other young dog, also seven months old, is a Blue Tick, and Doc, also a Blue Tick, is about the age of “Lou”. Vic is particularly fond of “Mack” and feels that he will make a su perb ’coon dog. Vic has an ideal place and proba bly next to hunting, his chickens are among his chief interests. He has more than 100 chickens which will soon begin laying so there’s not likely to be a chicken or egg shortage around Vic’s house this coming winter. Vic and his wife are the proud parents of three fine children—William, Loretta and Vickie. J. L. makes his home with the Sigmons. For ’coon hunters and would-be ’coon hunters, the following in formation from Encyclopedia Bri- tannica might be of interest. Much of the information a ’coon hunter will know, but for those who do not know the animal so well, the facts are revealing. “The raccoon has a curious habit of washing its food in water before eating it. The typical rac coon is a thickly built animal about the size of a badger, with a coat of long coarse grayish-brown hairs, short ears, and bushy black- and-white ringed tail . . . They feed upon mice, small birds, birds’ eggs, turtles and their eggs, frogs. YouVe Heard This (Continued From Page Eleven) $2; on Pages 188 through 191 are gifts in the $2-$5 range; on Pages 192-193 are suggestions in the $5- $10 range and on Page 111 are sug gestions over $10. In the same magazine, you’ll find other tips. “Let The Toy Fit The Child” is the title of an ar ticle on Pages 172-173 and on Page 244 are tips on making Christmas gifts. Stuffed toys, bibs, crib sets, matching apron and luncheon cloths, bean bags, and many other gifts are suggested Aprons like the ones in the pic ture on this page are always wel comed. Some folks who canned extra jelly this summer are dress ing up the jar with a doily and Christmas ribbon and shipping it off to friends and relatives who may not have been in a position to can such delicacies this summer. Christmas is still more than a month away, but don’t say we didn’t warn you that it will be a month filled with so much activ ity that it will seem more like a week than a month. BIBLES AVAILABLE A publishing company recent ly produced a large number of Bibles printed on Ecusta Bible Paper. The company has of fered to make these Bibles avail able for purchase by employees, if sufficient interest is shown. There are two different sizes of Bibles available and they may bo examined in the library. fish, crayfish, insects, nuts, fruits, and sometimes poultry . . . They haunt the banks of ponds and streams and find much of their food in these places such as cray fish, mussels, and fish, although they are unable to dive and pur sue the latter under water. They are good swimmers. “The raccoon hibernates during the severest part of the winter . . . It makes its home high up in the hollow of some large tree, prefer- irng a dead limb to the trunk it self . . . From four to six young are born at a time . . . The young remain with the mother about a year.” NEW AUTO UW IS (Continued From PaS® One) inspection fee and the wUl fiU out an “inspection ^ which will be checked the lane for all types ical defects.
