SUMMER IS A GOOD TIME TO READ
By Miss Pearl Motley, Librarian, Presbyterian Junior College
When it is too hot to exert yourself over tennis, or baseball,
or golf, why not find a cool spot, take along something cooling
to drink, and, while relaxing, read some of those books you’ve
been putting off for so long.* The P. J. C. Library and Maxton’s
own Gilbert Patterson Memorial may have unsuspected treas
ures that would mean both profit and pleasure to you. Try them
and see!
We read for information, for recreation, and for inspiration.
There are many books on the shelves of your libraries that would
serve these purposes. For information, with other satisfactions
often thrown in, you are invited to use the Reference Section of
the college library, which contains, besides the leading encyclopedi
as (supplemented by BRITANNICA BOOK OF THE YEAR, 1953
and the WORLD ALMANAC, 1953), a number of special reference
books — some of them lavishly illustrated, and also the best
library tools for locating magazine articles and for getting re
views of recent book specialists in each field. There are many
hels in the field of biography, both general and special. THE
DICTIONARY OF AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY in twenty-two vol
umes — a recent gift — and THE CONCISE DICTIONARY OF
NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY, together with WEBSTER'S BIOGRAPH
ICAL DICTIONARY are excellent for general use, and these are
supplemented for people more lecently before the public by
WHO’S WHO, WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA, and the periodical
publication, CURRENT BIOGRAPHY. Representative of our bio
graphical dictionaries in special fields are TWENTIETH CEN
TURP AUTHORS and Ewen's LIVING MUSICIANS. Although
the books in this section are not for loan service, we shall be
happy to have you use them in our reading room, which is a good
place to read — quiet, cool, well-lighted, and provided with com
fortable chairs and tables.
Our Magazine Section offers both information and recreation,
and, sometimes, inspiration. Nearly a hundred periodical publi
■cations attract your fiye when you enter. Some of these are of a
jEsaoee general, more popular type — THE AMERICAN, LIFE,
COLLIER’S, READER’S DIGEST, SATURDAY EVENING POST,
TIME. Those of a more serious nature are typified by THE AT
LANTIC, CHRISTIAN CENTURY, CURRENT HISTORY, HARP
ER’S, THE NATION, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. SCIENTIFIC
AMERICAN TODAY’S HEALTH, UNITER) NATIONS BULLE
TIN. There are also some that appeal to more limited groups,
such as AIR TRAILS, FLYING, HOUSE BEAUTIFUL, POPULAR
MECHANICS, POPULAR SCIENCE, RADIO AND TELEVISION
NEWS, MAGAZINE OF ART, MUSICAL AMERICA, SKY AND
TELESCOPE, THEATRE ARTS. In adidtion to the current num
bers, the library has back files of many magazines — in fact, of
the majority of those indexed in READER'S GUIDE. Some of the
back files have been bound an dare to be found on the shelves
at the back of the room. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHlt, bound since
1918 and boasting an index through 1946. stands in imposing
array on our shelves. Back numbers not to be found on these
shelves can be obtained through the librarian or a student assis
rani.
Among the mooks in the Circulation Section are many choice
titles. Some typical ones in non-fiction are THE STORY OF PHIL
OSOPHY by Durant. UNDERSTANDABLE PSYCHIATRY (1948)
by Hinsie. THE MATURE MIND by Overstreet, CHILD PSY

by Crawford and Woodward, THE GREATEST EVER TOLD and

AND HOPKINS by Sherwood, WOODROW WILSON by Baker

As to fiction, the college library leaves it somewhat to the
public library of Maxton to keep up-to-date. We do have most
of the older classical fiction, and many titles by the more modern
writers, including Shoiem Asch, Pearl S. Buck, Willa Cather,
Joseph Conrad, Thomas Costain, A. J. Cronin, Lloyd Douglas,
Theodore Dreiser, Edna Ferber, Rachel Field, Inglis Fletcher,
John Galsworth, Elizabeth Goudge, Ernest Hemingway, James
Hilton, Frances J». Keyes, Sinclair Lewis, Thomas Mann, J. P.
Marquand, John Steinbeck, ^Somerset Maughm, Christopher Mor
ley, Kenneth Roberts, Samuel Shellabarger, Agnes S. Turnbull,
Miya Waltari, Edith Wharton, Ellen Glasgow, Thomas Wolfe.
This collection includes, moreover, a good many volumes of the
best short stories, some excellent volumes of modern plays, and
a good deal of poetry, both classical and modern. I
The reading material enumerated here will give you an idea|
of what can be had from the P. J. C. Library. Come and see for
yourself what else we have! If you are chiefly interested in recent
fiction, we can find you review^-of practically all that has come
out since 1947, an dthose titles that we do not have, you can
prabably obtain at your public library. The college requires a
small cash deposit for loan service to cover losses and minor ex
penses, but everyone is welcome tc use in the library any and
everything we have. Telephone messages will reach the librarian
through the business office or the registrar’s office, but it would be
a good idea to come and look over the collection for yourself.
Presbyterian Junior College invites you to use and enjoy its
library!

POLIO
PRECAUTIONS
Gamma Globulin —obtained from hu
man blood—give* protection for a few
weeks. However, it is in VERY SHORT

A vaccine is not ready for 1953. But
there is hope for the future.
Meanwhile-when polio is around—
