Library News The Birthday Of Our King When the atmosphere is tinged with a glow of warmth— when the air is filled with sweet clear voices that sing out the carols of joy telling of our Savior’s birth—when a little child’s face transforms into a glowing, rosy smile at the sight of a brightly lighted and gaily decorated tree—when it is crystal and crisp outside, and the world is filled with swirling feathery snow flakes—when sleighbells ring and church bells peal—when your heart bubbles over with joy because of the love and happiness surrounding you—it is Christmas. It is a day of days, set high above any other time because •‘the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” As time goes by, generations will come and go; ages will be forgotten; worldly wonders will disappear; heroes will die away; but the birthday of our Lord will live forever in all its ethereal glory. There will always be a Christmas! And The Toes Just Flew! “What happened to him?” “Somebody threw a firecracker. It rolled under his foot and exploded.” Now who would be stupid enough to throw a firecracker in a crowd? Plenty of people, much as we hate to admit it. If everybody were made of iron and steel, or even if we could grow new parts like an amoeba, it would be O. K. to throw something just to hear a noise. But after all, we’re only human and those firecrackers flying around can play havoc with fingers, toes, and eyes. So if you must throw those little atom bombs, go out in a field somewhere where the only ears you can blow off are yours and the rabbits’. Always Christmas It’s Christmas Eve. Feathery snowflakes falling are very white in the dark night. The sound of church bells chiming carols floats in your window. You’ve just flnished arranging your gifts under the tree, and you climb into bed with the pleas ant .assurance that Christmas is absolutely the best season in the year, even if it is of such short duration. But it needn’t end so soon. The Spirit of Christmas should and could prevail throughout the entire year. For there is a Santa Claus. He isn’t necessarily a white-bearded old gentle man in the ermine-trimed crimson costume. He is YOU and everyone else on earth_ who carries the Spirit of Christmas within him. So why not play Santa Claus this year? You have all the materials necessary. The sleigh is love. The pack is kind ness. The costume is friendliness. And the gifts? There is no end to them. For your teacher, of whom you’ve always thought as a mechanical guard whose sole purpose in life is to kill all your joy with volumes of homework and “No Talking” rules, how about a real attempt at cooperation and friendliness? Her heart isn’t of steel and stone—and how it would help to see a friendly face in that throng of suspicious study-weary students! And there’s your family. One of the best gifts you can give them is to pack up your temper, tie it with a ribbon, and throw it in the deep blue sea. Because you can’t talk back to teacher, who gave you a D on that test, you keep that grouch compressed A'ithin you until you reach home. Then you pro ceed to make life miserable for Mom, Dad, or even poor Fido. Then tie up all your friendliest smiles and warmest greet ings in bright scarlet ribbon, sprinkle liberally with stars of sincerity, and distribute generously throughout the year to all the people you know and most of those you don’t. And just where does all this get you? Well, teachers may be a little more helpful—Fido won’t tremble when you walk in the door—and everyone will think you’re a pretty good guy! There’s a lot of satisfaction paying off. Playing Santa Claus isn’t a bad job at all! By NORMA BOGLE Several new books have been added recently to the library, two of which are reviewed for you. Wild Animals of the World is a beautiful book of 252 animals with 100 colorful illustrations. It brings the depth of the blackest jungle and the heart of every zoo to your fireside. The descriptions of each animal portrayed, its size, habitat, and interesting comments from first hand experience, were written by William Bridges, au thor, explorer, and naturalist. The illustrations are the product of two years’ labor by Mary Baker. Would you like to learn how to create a home of beauty and dis tinction? Then you will want to read How to Make Your House a Home or Beauty Treatments For the Home, both by Kay Hardy. The latter is a book that shows you the easy inexpensive, practi cal way to give beauty to the home. From this book you will learn the roles played in tasteful house decoration of balance, ar rangement of furniture, proper use of color, furniture adaptation. More than 300 drawings and dia grams by the autor illuminate and clarify every word of the text. An ideal Christmas gift for any one is a book. Some suggestions for the different members of the family are: For father there is Bold Gali lean by LeGette Blythe. Mother would like Kay Hardy’s, How to Make Your House a Home. Pilgrim’s Inn by Elizabeth Goudge is just the book for that big sister in the 11th or 12th grade. For a Jack Dempsey fan on your list there is Round by Round by Jack himself. Janet Lambert’s latest publish ed book, Where the Heart Is, is something your younger sister in the 8th, 9th or 10th grade would be thrilled to receive. ■«.For broth er or sister in the 7th grade there is You and the United Nations by Fisher or the recently published High-pockets, a baseball story by Tunis. Primary brothers or sisters would be happy to receive Child’s Book of Prayers by Louise Ray mond. Last and least are the small children, who would love to have plastic baby books. These books can be washed (even in the washing machine). You may or der them from Lathrop, Lee & Shepard Co., New York 16, N. Y. Magazine "Musts". At this season the Christmas spirit is in the air. You have seen parades and decorated streets and shop windows, and you have heard carols. Now you will want to be getting your own house dressed up for the season, or perhaps you want to make something to give for Christmas. Whatever item you want help on, you will find it in the current magazines. If you like to make candy, “Say it With Sweets” will hieip you make the best and you can give a bit of your own talents for Christmas presents. This article is found in Arnerican Girl. “Dear Santa”, or how to go from dolls to dates in four easy lessons, contains some good tips you might need, in Ladies Home Journal. Fun-to-make and wonderful-to- look-at decorations are suggested in Good Ho%isekeeping on pages 72-79. “Holiday Decorations” are found on page 37 in Better Homes and Gardens. In The Open Road for Boys there is a holiday fun favorite, “Santa’s Deputy,” which was brought back by popular request. An article, “The Star of Hope Rises,” by A. J. Cronin, is found in The Reader’s Digest. Also in this issue is another Christmas story, “Keeping Christmas.” Two new film strips have been added to the collection in the li brary.
