' means to me? The joy of finding j just'the. right book for the elderly ; lady whose eyes won't bear too much reading and shouldn't be wasted on the mediocre: the triumph of finally .interesting that man who reads only Westerns in Mary O'Hara's books; the wonder of the six'year-old who found tov her delight (that she could read our books as jwell as her own little reader; the surprise of the adolescent who discovered that the boy who stood on the burning deck was a hero Instead of a Joke; the pride of real achievement when they, say, "Gee, do you come down here every Week without any pay?" the humof of conscientiously sitting on "Forever Amber" every time that teen-age girl who was so determined to read it, came in; 'the pleasure of taking time myself ifor reading?all of these things, and ! many more, contribute to my own : Immeasurable rewards?-Mrs. Keni neth MoKamey.

The Friday evening opening is being discontnued as attendance no ionger warranted operation for those two hourd. Leafing The Books When there's an idle moment it's pleasant to check on the contents of the librarv. riluHivurlns u;hat i? hjk. tween the covers of the books. It . would be impossible to read them all but it's necessary to have a general idea as to. what's in each. Gandhi's assassination brought the little man to the forefront of attention last week. What have we On him? Probably nothing, but he might be mentioned in Santha Ra- . ma Rau's Home To India. Yes, there he is, page 185, at one of the committee meetings of the Congress party, sitting on the floor by his spinning wheel. Tf the thread breaks, you know something has happened which annoyed him even though he continues to smile. 1*0 Miss -Rau l went one of Mademoiselle's ten (merit awards for outstanding a- i 'chievement in 1947. Her book is no heavy tract on reform ideas but entertaining reading. 1 Advance notices from C. S. Lewis' 1 publisher are a reminder that one pf his books is here, if not two. Must i thumb Beyond Personality. Who is) C. S. Lewis? He is the Oxford lecturer who is considered "one of the ! most influential spokesmen for I Christianity in the English - speakI ing world." If hi.-, name rings a bell I in the minds of you Presbyterians, it may be because you have heard] Miss Lucy Steele of Peace College speak-Of him. She heartily endorses this Screwtape Letters ? missives of Uncle Screwtape in heil to his inexperienced nephew on earth?giving advice on the "subtle art of corruptting Christians." If the story is as attractive as the chapter hlading sketches in Madeline Goss' biography of Beethoven, the boek will be fascinating to read. The Week's Activities Most fun ? supplying the young scouts with the information on astronomy. The first books shown ( them were informative but slightly i text-bookish. However, the third | number, with maps in colors and the | constellations plainly marked, brou ght forth expressions of joy as they identified the groups they knew. The I Dippers, The Sisters, etc. Would like to know if they find the figures as easily in the real sky as they did ion the map. Most satisfying ? fulfillment of , the prediction that the two boys who ; came for the first time on the cold | Friday evening would become reg-1 iular patron's ? particularly the j more aggressive of the two. He has' lovely dark, eyes and is a southpaw, j Most thrilling ? delight of the manT a frequent visitor at the old place, as he made his first visit to1 the new one and discovered so much he hadn't thought to find. ; Most looked-forward-to-event?col umns from the members of the Library Committee, acquainting you with their duties and plajjs. Most-can't-wait-for-It-to-happen? j ordering of new books for the Child- j ren's Department and their arrival, j Most thoughtful ? the elderly pa- j trop who returned his books in a pa j per bag carried under his raincoat on the rainy afternoon. Most drawn out ? the monthly meeting of the Library Committee. The by-laws call for a one hour session but the members piaqage to ( extend their discussions close on to j two hours. Their enthusiasm exceeds 1 thei* respect for time. Most unpleasant -?trying to get , books returned which are overdue to an extent unpleasant to mention. | Most glad-to-get-done?placement of the Declaration of Independence where the five footers and under can nui umjr see n bui examine ine signatures. Will a certain LITTLE 1 ' BLONDE please note. Most regretted ? failure to run a ' display track reminding the Juniors to feed the birds during the unusual I seige of ice. Every time the idea occurred it seemed a bit useless to car ry out as milder weather appeared in prospect, but still the sleet a~nd snow continued, z Uncle Sam Says AVi 1 \^1 Tea don't need New Year's Da; to make one tMemtion which will make your future more secure.
