Library Notes BY ALICE BRYAN County Librarian "I'd like a new book. You know, a best seller or one you think is going to be talked out." Our request lists are usually for books that are "talked about." Sometimes these books are widely advertised through magazines and newspapers. Occasionally a request list is formed for a book that some one has read and liked and recom mended to friends. Advertising placed Norman Mail er's "The Naked and the Dead" be fore the public, but in our library it has been popular because of the individual recommendations of read ers. Not all of the comments about the book have been favorable. Sev eral comments have been, "It is a terrible book." "It should not be in a public library." "It is a shocking story." The favorable comments have been, "If everybody in the world read the book, there would be no more wars." "It is one of the best books I have read and true to army life." Books such as "Kissing Kin" by Elsworth Thane, "The Big Fisher man" by Lloyd Douglas, "Roanoke Hundred" by Inglis Fletcher, and "Shannono's Way" by Cronin, are popular because readers liked the author's other novels. "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie is our only book of non-fiction with a long request list. Our request lists for other "best sellex-s" are short. Only one or two requests have been made for "Din ner at Antoine's" by Keyes, "Re membrance Rock" by Sandburg, "I Capture the Castle" by Smith, "To morrow Will Be Better" by Smith, and "Catalina" by Maugham. The library appreciates the three books given by Florence Davis: "Without Lawful Authority" by Manning Coles—mystery; "The Killer and the Slain" by Hugh Walpole—psychological study of the dual nature of man; and "Mr. Emmanuel" by Louis Golding—Story of an old man who sets out unarmed, against the forces of evil in the world today, to right a wrong and restore a young boy's happiness. The popular magazines given by Mrs. S. C. Roberts and "The Boys' Life" magazines given by Harry Logan McCall have already been distributed to readers in the county. Among last week's news registra tions: Anne H. Ballew, Florence June Black, Connie Dell Burnside, Martha Davis, Jimmie Henderson, Peggy Lassiter, Ruby Marlowe, Ann Styles, Mrs. G. P. Taylor, and Karl Maxwell Warlick, Jr. Readers who liked iJngid Knight's book "The Valiant Lady" will want to read her new novel, "Southern Cross"—Story of Elizabeth Hugo, daughter of Boer parents in South Africa. An orphan at birth, she was adopted by the English Shows and brought up with their family until she was nine years old. Then her Boer aunt claimed her and set about with unbending tyranny to eradicate the British influence of the Shaws. "The Big Book of Knitting"edited by Isabelle Stevenson—A complete knitting book, with chapters on teaching children to knit. "The Complete Book of Embroid ery" by Catherine Christopher— Directions, with illustrations, for quilting, smocking, petit point, gros point, applique, monogramming, shadow work, and many other kinds of embroidery. "Golden Treasury of Needlecraft" by Isabelle Stevenson—300 things to make, crochet, knit, sew, embroid ery; also directions for tatting, quilt ing, felt-craft, applique, paper flow ers, toy-making, dolls, and gift wrapping. Two books for young people will be as popular as the several new titles that have so quickly formed long request lists. "Gold for the Grahams" by Alice Fuller—Story of covered wagon days when men and women braved the wilderness, Indian massacres and starvation to seek fortunes in gold in the Black Hills of the Dakotas. "Snow Dog" by Jim Kjelgaard— Born in the wilderness, the puppy had to learn the ways of survival like any other wild thing, but it was his own courage and intelligence that brought him through when a weaker dog would have perished. Flourspar is a mineral which makes slag more efficient in purify ing steel. Dogwood Planting Time Is In January Raleigh—5,000 flowering shrubs will be added to the blooming beau ty of North Carolina this year, ac cording to plans of the Dogwood Planting Committee of the State Garden clubs, as announced by Mrs. R. J. Pearse, State Chairman. Officially, the last week in Janu ary is dogwood planting week but plantings already are in progress and will continue throughout Feb ruary. North Carolina Garden clubs have planted 15,000 seedlings and small dogwoods since the shrub was officially named the State flower by the 1941 State Legislature, in four war-interrupted programs. This year, in material going out to Garden Club members through out the state, appeal is made to bird lovers to "plant dogwood for birds as well as beauty". According to Mrs. Eve F. Jenson, past president of the North Carolina Bird club, "By actual count, more than 80 varieties of birds feed on dogwood berries." Instructions for planting and nourishing dogwood, a tender plant in infancy but very hardy after the second year, may be obtained from the commercial nurseries, from The Tar Heel Gardener, Mr. John Harris, N. C. State College, Raleigh, and from Forestry Division, Mr. P. A. Griffiths, N. C. Department of Con servation and Development, Raleigh. | Agriculture Post Given To Coltrane Raleigh, Jan. 7—Agriculture Com missioner L. Y. Ballentine announced | tonight the appointment of D. S. | Coletarin assistant commissioner ! of agriculture. Coltrane, 50, first became assist ant when Governor Kerr Scott went in as head of the Agriculture De partment in 1937.
