Corner Lil Clarke, newcomer to the Re creation Department, finds after her first two weeks with us that her job in the library is even more fascinating than she had anticipated. So says Lil, and Fm inclined to agree with her. Lil is such a reserved little per son that it’s difficult to get a reac tion from her but if you readers will try to make her feel at home with a little idle chatter and attention to her suggested readings, it may dispel some of this timidity. Joking aside, I think you’ll find Lil one of the most invigor ating personalities here. She has al ready started her ambitious campaign to meet Ecusta in entirety and is just waiting for an opportunity to meet you. Well, here she is in the book corner so I’ll see you later. Lil speak ing, and I hope everyone hears me when I say that I think Ecusta must be the nicest place in the world to work. Everyone is so friendly and cheerful that I didn’t even get that “I’m sunk” feeling that one usually encounters the first day on a new job. A sense of humor is essential, however, for I’ve discovered that a bit of good-natured teasing is just another part of the job. The library is, of course, an ideal place to be located for you see em ployees from all over Ecusta as they come in for books, to ask about band practices, or to find out about their softball practices. Then, at noon when you go to eat and you find that you can get better food at the cafeteria than you have at home and that it costs you less already prepared than you can buy it off the grocer’s shelves (to say nothing of no dishes to wash) you are pretty certain that you are one fortunate individual. And then there’s “good” Friday when you are presented with your week’s pay check and the Fridays come so soon! Well, I just want to say that I like everything about Ecusta and hope to be here a long, long time. However, let me hurry to state that I really have some accomplishments to my credit other than my discoveries of the won ders of the place. In the past week or ten days we have placed close to 100 books of fic tion on our library shelves. Within the next week or so we will have the biographys and other non-fiction books accessioned, stamped and ready for circulation. Until the past few weeks I thought that books were designed for reading and I was amazed to discover how many things have to be done to a book, other than writing it, before it reaches the library shelf. I now view a book, not with the idea of only read ing it, but with the idea of stamping it, making out cards and getting on file its complete life history. Come in some time and we will give you a free demonstration. Do you know what people read, and why? The men seem to prefer West ern, Adventure and Detective stories, and the girls read a lot of love stories and romantic fiction. It is easy to understand why because most of us read for pleasure and relaxation and these books are our release from rou tine. So the life of the cowboy or sleuth or the love life of the glamour girl has wide appeal. A few books classified are listed below: Books of Action: Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas; Wind, Sand and Stars, Exupery; The Sea Wolf, London; WWte Fang, Lon don; Moby Dick, Melville; Flotsom, Remarque; Captain Blood, Sabatini; The Fortunes of Captain Blood, Saba tini; Captain Blood Returns, Sabatini; Four Years in Paradise, Oso Johnson; Alone, Admiral Byrd; Captain Paul, Ellsberg; Out of The Night, Jan Val- tin. Books of Romance: Come and Get It, Edna Ferber; As the Earth Turns, Carroll; Honey In The Horn, Davis; Little Shephard of Kingdom Come, Fox; We Are Not Alone—Hilton; Five and Ten—Hurst; Years Are So Long, Lawrence; Parn assus On Wheels, Morley; Lisa Vale, Prouty; Captain Blood, Sabatini; The Carolinian, Sabatini; The Nutmeg Tree, Sharp; Four Gardens, Sharp; Mortal Storm, Bottomme; Winters- moon, Walpole; Bridge of San Luis Rey, Wilder; Twilight Sleep, Wharton; Heat Lightening, Hull; Swan Song, Galsworthy; The Sheltered Life, Glas gow; Fanny Kemble, Bobbe, AND THE RAINS CAME Cont. ed importing cots in the Library for the remaining Asheville citizens just to let them have a spend-the-night party. At least they would be entertained with the best of books or perhaps a game of softball. Should some be in flicted with insomnia they would find without much effort, instrumentation for a complete symphony band. Then too, Mr. Vannah’s latest books on the psychology, physiology and Everyoth- erology of plants are as stirring as as an Eberhart mystery. At this writing it is still raining a little and it is still the day of May 20th, 1942 so we may yet be washed away and if we don’t meet on an ark this may be found floating around in a coca-cola bottle as a record of the Great Flood of ’42, (Be sure to return the bottle). Courtesy Detroit Free Press LOOKING BACK Sometimes memory is such a nice book, a store of dreams to go through, especially when all the pleasant in cidents stand out so clearly to be re captured at will, I remember going to my Grandfath er’s farm, happy in the thought of pleasures ahead. I would ride in the saddle with him or jog along in the buggy, listening to the birds or look ing over fields of corn that lay glist ening in the early morning sunshine with the dew still On their tassels. I recapture visions of my Grand mother frying chicken while on the back of the stove simmered a big black pot full of beans and potatoes. There were also berry pies and big pitchers full of buttermilk, smaller pitchers of golden cream and fresh country butter melting over hot corn- beard. Other memories that take me back to my childhood on the farm are those of the out-of-doors; the turkeys, ducks and hunting dogs and cows in a field of clover, and the feel of bare feet on cool wet grass or wading in the creek. At night when it was cool we all sat around an open fire relating the inci dents of the day. We were a merry, contented lot of people. Our plea sures were simple ones, our food was plain, though delicious and most of it raised on the farm, but it was a way of life that makes for contentment and self-respect. I am sure that in the uncertain fu ture, whatever may come, I will look back on my childhood as a fortunate one for I gained through these experi ences a set of values that will stay with me all of my life, and will help me to adjust happily to a simple way of liv ing if need be.

Fraser, manager of the course, said that in addition to the match players, several new faces were seen Sunday, and that Saturday previous had also brought out an increasing number of players who are keenly pleased with the new grass greens that are now in use. Ecusta players expressed satisfac tion with the local golf links and are enthusiastic over the prospects for summer play. The manager, Mr. Fra ser, announced that all Ecusta players are cordially mvited to take member- On numerous accident cases recent ly, I have heard the injured remark, “It was all my fault” or ^ was in too much of a hurry.” Sucn statements as these, coming voluntar ily from the injured persons, are solutely true and point out to us_^ injuries can be prevented, unsafe practices and in-attention responsible for approximately 90% ° our accidents. During the past 90 days, 736 in]^' ies have been treated in our First Station and this number does not elude injuries occurring off the redressings or cases of sickness.
