Waynesville Boy
On Flying Fortress
In the "Handbook for Boy
ficouts," there is a section by
Franklin K. Matthews, chief Scout
librarian, entitled, "Fun With
Books," in which he says, "You
know that in learning the best
jray to swim you have to master
certain types of strokes, so it is
in reading you have to know cer
tain types of books."
There is the "easy to read type
f story," of adventure or sea, or
froy life athletics, the story through
which you skim carelessly, thought
lessly; the story to which you never
think back with re-enjoyment, with
Mother chuckle at the fun or an
other thrill at the excitement of
climax, whose characters are
Merely names in a book, not friends
whose acquaintance you are glad
to make.
But from this inconsequential
tory that has no delightful after
taste, you may move on to other
stories that are not hard to read
fcut which do leave in your mind
and heart all possibilities of later
enjoyment. If you have read
Huckleberry Finn" and "Story of
Bad Boy," you have doubtless
laughed or son-owed over the ex
ploits or experiences of their
heroes many times when the actual
books were far from the touch of
hands. And surely you feel that
yon know the boys who live with
in their pages as you know your
friends and schoolmates.
If you have read "Jim Davis,"
and "Box, Son of Battle," "Cap
tains Courageous" and "Men of
Iron," doubtless the mere titles
ring back something of that joy
f having shared in high adventure,
mi having been a part of some
thing fine, that you felt when you
