BOOK CORNER By Lucille Heffner Nothing marks the increasing wealth of our times and the growth of the public mind toward refinement more than the demand for books. —Star Papers Did we overhear you say that you plan to rest, relax and have a good time on your vacation? Can you think of a better way to relax than to stretch lazily on a comfortable couch with a good book and nearby a tall refreshing glass of your favorite beverage? The book you hold is where the Library fits in the picture. With such a vast number of valuable volumes available, your reading taste can surely be satisfied. * * * * If you have a yen for warm and appealing love stories, you will enjoy GOOD MORNING, YOUNG LADY by Ardyth Kennelly. Set in the late 1890’s, our heroine, Dorney Leaf, fell in love with two men. Of entirely different backgrounds and education these two young men were to vie for the true love of Dorney a penniless beauty who was somewhat of a Cinderella. The story is charming and appealing and filled with amus ing and poignant characters that you will read ily recognize as typical of your neighbors. For a light, tender love story try — GOOD MORN ING, YOUNG LADY. * * * * The May selection of the Book-Of-The-Month Club is THE HIGH AND MIGHTY by Ernest Gann. The author of BLAZE OF NOON and FIDDLER’S GREEN brings us an exciting novel about a flight from Honolulu to San Francisco. It begins with routine details of such a flight and ends in crisis that touches disaster. Here are twenty people, casual companions as they un wittingly approach the climactic moment of their lives. Page by page, the suspense builds to an almost unbearable climax. THE HIGH AND MIGHTY offers a stimulating experience. * * * * STEPHANIA by Ilona Karmel is an absorbing account of the crucial year in the lives of three women who share a room in a Swedish hospital for the physically handicapped. Their humor and courage make them memorable—especially Steph- ania, a Polish refugee whose sharp reality effects an important change in the others. Stephania is bitterly determined to have a normal body after the disfigurement of a concentration camp. No one would have believed that Stephania’s "cure” (more of the spirit than of the body) would have such a startling influence over her companions. This is a courageous book that wil leave a definite impression on all who read it.
