Only t.her*T’s notR- ing to them. Cause I don’t ever keep them. In this time of war and fear the need for good books becomes great.er than ever, for books are freinds that will stick by us and help us to keep our minds off this mad world. One way they help us to forget is by taking iis into a world of l>eau1v and feeling. “My Friend Flicka” by Mary O’Hara is just such a book. It is a story of a boys love of a horse. The boy’s n.ame is Ken. When he first saw the colt he cried, “I want him to be miue—all my ovsm”. Of course he could ride any hor»e on the ranch, but what he wanted was something that was his alone to tend and love. His mother understool liut his practical Geottish father dM^ not. Ken had to wait ar:d suffer l>efore Picka was hi'. .Against the backsroiind of a CTcat Wvomins ranch the relationship of Ken and his mother, of Ken and his father, of Ken and Flicka is explored with Subtle and disarming sympathy that never lapses into sentamentalitv. Another wav b(Vfka hel" us forcet is bv *he power of an excitin£r story. “Wild '? t^‘e River ’ by Txiuis Rromfield will fit to a “T” the require ments for such a storv. It takes place in the New Oreans of the Civil War when an army was v,'ith- in its gates server! to ca.ot off tradition and loose passions Ions' held in check. Of the real storv we will say nothinff for vou will want to read it. All we shall sav is that it is a robust, exuberant tale, rich and colorful in its texture, which brings to life a lost civilisation and shows one of the most dramatic epi.sedes in our nations history. Another b« k which we believe .should be put on vour MTTST list is an amaain? little 01 page book bv David Cushman Coyle, titled America. David Covle is not an outhor, he is not a lawyer yet it is as lone..al as a lawyer’s brief. Coyle is an enirineer. Perhaps that is the reason he wTitew so well 'ab^'ut America. He sees America m an engineering problem—well constructed in spite of many faults and able to carry its citizens over. Readers are c.alling this 91-page volume the answer to “Mein Kampf”. Although written lie- fore the war^the War Department has already or dered 30,000 copies for camp ,libraries. If you _ l>elieve in. America and the principles for which it stands you shouldn’t fail to read this lit^!^ book for it gives in plain conci.se language an inai.ght into tiro why of Piir America. BORROWED From the “Yellow Jacket” we take variouar and sundvr things that we thought might interfst you. So blame us not for what you might not like as we are slightly rushed. Here ’tis: ’He; I Ixiiight something for the persoa that T love best in the world. _iauess what it is. She: A box of cigars. i From life’s book of tears and laughter I have gained this little bit of lore I’d rather have the morning after Than never had a night before. —Log— A sailor after placing a wreath of flowers on a grave in the cemetary, noticed an old Chinese placing a bowl of rice on a near-by grave, and asked: “What time do. you expect your friend tO' coire up and eat rice?” The old Chinaman smiled and answered: “S^me time your friend come up and smell flowers.” —Randolph Macon Old Maid So then the wild goose looked at the hunter, raised one eyebrow ’n said, “I’m game”. A tiny ant stood looking helplessly and long ingly at the carcass of a dead horse wondering if she could nibble gome of it and take it home. She wa.s filled with skepticism. A truck filled with cases of liquor passed by and a bottle fell out near the ant and broke. The ant took a few sips and felt revitalized. Grabbing the horse by the tail, it started shouting, “Come on, big boy’ we’re go ing home”. Female Driver; I want a glass of wafer for the radiator, a thimbleful of oil for the motor and a demi-tasse of gasoline. I think that will be all. Attendant; Lady, Couldn’t I cough in your tires ? Captain: All hands on deck! The ship is leaking! Voice from forecastle; Aw, put a pan under if and go to bod. The old pawn broker was dying slowly and as his eyes fluttered his family grouped around him to hear his last words. “Is Momma here?” he breathed “Yes, Poppa” Is my daughter Rachael here?” “Yes, Poppa” “Is my son, Isaac here?” “Yes, Poppa” “Is my son Max here?” “Yes, Poppa” Poppa reared up in his bed and shouted,; ‘•Then who, may I esk, is watching da shop There was a young lady from Versailles W'ho ate green apples and died.

REELING ALONG Showing this week at the Elon cinema is that thrilling mystery “Here Comes Mr. Jordan.” I'hLs picture stars liobert Montgomery, with a grand supporting ca.st, among which are Claude Rains, comic James Gleason, and tantalizing Rita .lohnson. I'his is a mystery picture about a saxap'' ne playing prize fighter, played by Robert Mont- gomery. Next week-end, January 10 and 17, “She Knew All the Answers” will be shown. Starnfd iu this cometiy are beautiful Joan Bennett, and suave l''mnchot Tone. This picture depicts the hilarious situations a woman can gt't in when she tiies to marry two men. John Hubbard is the third party, and causes Mr. Tone a great amount of di«c,>iivfort.
