t sfif, BOOK CORNER By Lucille Heffner When others fail him, the wise man looks To the companionship of books. —Old Friends Here they are! Books you’ve requested! Books for the entire family! First for the wee ones—a collection of stories chosen from the popular young folks magazine, Jack and Jill. For your "please read me a story” problem, try our JACK AND JILL STORIES. All youngsters have curiosity about birds. Di rect that curiosity in the proper channel by teach ing them to appreciate our feathered friends. Two comprehensive volumes, skillfully illustrated are; BIRDS AT HOME and TRAVELING WITH THE BIRDS. Some of the chapter titles are: The Bird’s Engine, The Bird’s Compass, The Bird’s Chart, Why Birds Migrate and Bird Gypsies. ***** James Street is one of America’s most popular writers, according to Ecustans reading taste. The names of Sam Dabney, Morna Dabney, and Keith Alexander we know as well as our nearest neigh bor. Mr. Street, who lives in Chapel Hill, to gether with James Childers, also of Chapel Hill, has given us another book in the series of "Oh Promised Land” and "Tap Roots”. This volume is called TOMORROW WE REAP. The waiting list is lengthy'but a request will put you in line for this book. You can’t afford to miss it! ***** Mahatma Gandhi was undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest leaders—the same can be said for Vincent Sheean in the writing world. Mr. Sheean has written a personal tribute to Gandhi. The Indian leader’s early life, his reli gious development, the background of Hindu writings and social factors are examined for their contribution to his philosophy and his principle of noviolence. The title of the book comes from Gandhi’s favorite hymn, LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT. ***** Recently issued tales of murder, suspense and danger available in the Library are: DOG EAT DOG by Mary Collins; FLYING RED HORSE, Frances Crane; and THE CASE OF THE DU BIOUS BRIDEGROOM by Erie Stanley Gardner. Fiction favorites just released and now on our shelves are: LET LOVE COME LAST, Taylor Caldwell; PLAYTIME IS OVER, Clyde Brion Davis; THE BRAVE BULLS, Tom Lea; PINK MAGIC, Margaret Lee Runbeck; THE LITTLE VOYAGE, Letitia Ireston Osborne; and O, SHEPHERD, SPEAK by Upton Sinclair. No! We haven’t forgotten you western fans. From the pen of William McLeod Raine, who knows the Old West as few writers do, comes an other tale of outlaws, night-riders and cattle rust ling. Based on fact, this is a western story worth reading. And, yes—the new 1949 Zane Grey novel is here! It tells—but we’ll let you read it! Ask for THE DEER STALKER by Zane Grey. 32
