mlH By Lucille Heffner "That is a good book which is opened with expectation and closed with delight and profit.” —A. B. Alcott If you can imagine what complications would have arisen when a few (and there were only a few) Englishmen turned against England and worked for the Nazis you v/ould be interested in reading THE HEAT OF THE DAY by Irish- English novelist Elizabeth Bowen. Written not as a detective-story writer would tell this tale, but as a literary writer who weaves a web of atmosphere—thrilling, sinister and thoroughly fascinating. It’s new! We have it! # * * * * What does it feel like to be brought up in a lamily of twelve children? Two members of the large and happy Gilbreth clan make it sound like quite a lot of fun as they recount the efforts of their wise and witty parents lo manage such a brood. Whether you were reared in a family of two or ten you’ll be happier after reading CHEAP ER BY THE DOZEN as told by brother and sis ter Frank B. Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. ***** Still in the lighter vein and a welcome change from the conventional is HOUND-DOG MAN by Fred Gipson. It will immediately remind you of THE YEARLING by Marjorie Kennan Raw lings. A hero-worshipping twelve-year-old shares a wonderful week of coon huntin’ with a hap py-go-lucky wanderer who represents the sum of all his youthful ambitions. If your brother, dad, or son spends hours on end hunting, then by all means borrow a copy of HOUND-DOG MAN, a tender picture of the relationship be tween a boy and his idol. ***** Movie-conscious—book-conscious scanning the book shelves we find that in the Library are numerous books from which motion pictures have been or are being made. Do you prefer reading the book prior to seeing the movie adaptation or vice versa? Rosemary Taylor’s smash hit, CHICKEN EVERY SUNDAY, is being filmed starring Dan Dailey and Celeste Holm.

Garland Roark’s novel, WAKE OF THE RED WITCH, a romance of the South Seas, stars John Wayne and Gail Russell in the cinema version. Perhaps you saw DEEP WATERS which starred Dana Andrews—the story was taken from Ruth Moore’s novel, SPOONHANDLE. ***** If you haven’t visited the Library recently, take time out for a visit. Don’t forget the most popu lar current magazines are here for you. The shelves are filled with western stories, adventure, love stories, mystery stories, children’s books and non-fiction which includes game books, house plans, biographies, humorous reading, poetry and many other subjects. For questions necessitating facts the WORLD ATLAS, WORLD ALMANAC WEBSTER’S UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY* and THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITTANICA are the finest references. Pay us a visit soon! One of the things that this world needs most is a spirit of friendliness. Can we have a smile for everyone we meet? 29
