I PAGE 8 THE TORCH I A department conducted for The Warren County Memorial Library By MABEL DAVIS Tha I lKraiHan | B Books Old and New Complying with my request to write something for tiiis column about the books she has read thksummer, a member of the faculty of one of the Raleigh city schools handed me the following terse aiiu very interesting review: ' The Warren County Memorial Library offers an exceptional opportunity to the lover of reading. Even where libraries are to be found, the selection of books contained therein is net to be compared with the Warrenton Library. In the latter the selection reflects scholarsliip, artistic appreciation, the scientific spirit, and culture. "Comments on the new books available in the library, or on the old books, or on the outstanding books would be revealing. This, however, is none of these but rather notes taken from a few weeks of reading at random. Boyd, James?'Roll River,: A man i]t in hospital about to ate areanis jj through his own life and that of jj hit; aunt?the latter comes first in ir his book. Fair. Over 600 pages. y Pitkin, Walter B?'The Psychology fo Happiness'. A very sane out- j, look on life. The thesis is that the smooth functioning of the entire ^ personality, chiefly physical, makes x for happiness. 1929. ei Schmalhausen, Samuel?'Why Wr Cj Misbehave": The book is dedicated y to Freud, Adler, and Jung. 'His- e, to:ry penetratingly conceived, is a p branch of psychoanalytic psychia- n try. Human life is a series of j2 complications of the superior-infer- a ior relation. w Baldwin, Faith?'American Fam- c: ily': A young doctor's life. He Si loves three women?marries two of j them. Better than most of Faith ? Baldwin's books. p Douglas, Loyd C?'Green Light': w Another book like Magnificent Ob- u session but not as strong. Ameri- h can Family is better. Wilder, Thornton?'Heaven's My Destination': A study in psycho- l pathology. Very subtle. A young won Wnmoc vorv rolicriftiis* t.VlPn loses his faith. He was crazy all of the time. Anderson, Sherwood ? 'Dark a Laughter': Very good. Human na- c ture with emphasis on sex but beautifully done. Woolcott, Alexander ? 'While ^ Rome Burns': Splendid short ^ sketches. A master at writing. Overstreet, H. A.?'Influencing Human Behavior,' 1925. GoCd. Easv : reading. The three cardinal points 1 in influencing human behavior are: n arouse interest, change human na- ^ ture, exercise the creative powers. Wolfe, Thomas?'Of Time and the River', 1935: Gcod descriptions though sometimes they become detailed. Repeats: words, words. r Something like Gertrude Stein. The 3 language is expressive, even earthy. ^ The material is evidently autobiog- 3 raphical. The book is an epic of a modern artistic spirit. Wilson, Charles Morrow?'Backwoods America', 1934 :U. N. C. Press. Illustrated by Mrs. Bayard Wooten. Very good. Carmer, Carl?'Stars Fell On Alabama,' 1934: Stories of Alabama. Better than fair. TT.ie outsider might be tempted to say that the state is not highly civilized. Werfel, Franz?'The Forty Days of Musa Dagh,' 1934, 817 pp.: A story of the Armenians during the World War. Very detailed and instructive. 'The New Generation,' edited by Calverton and Sohmalhausen, 1939: A symposium of the family, parents and children. Excellent. Scientific. Mann, Thomas ? 'Death In Venice': A writer, who worships beauty, falls in love with a beautiful boy. At the end the writer dies. Somewhat like 'Good-Bye, Mr. Chips,' except that it is more artistically written. Lawrence, D. H.?'Sons and Lovcc'* A woman who is liisannnint.eri in her marriage showers her affection upon her sons, one especially. He develops a mother-complex, depending utterly upon his mother for happiness. He tries to love but cannot. Dreiser has worked out very much the same theme in 'The Genius' except that he attributes to the artistic temperament the inability of love to satisfy. Buck, Pearl?'East Wind: West Wind': A story of life in China. Pictures the break between the generations caused by western civilization. Very artistic. Knittel, John?'Via Mala': A story of peasant life in the Alps. Some psychology. Good. 677 pp. Sheppard, Muriel Early?'Cabins Warranto n. North Cai Heigh Ho, And Off w ANYWHERE, U. S. A....

The new sufferers were in Chaham, Guilford, Halifax and Meckmburg counties and made 57 this lonth and 534 this year. During he first 15 days of July 109 cases ;ere reported in the state.

No, it wasn't a crash. Nobody was hurt, It was just a couple of boys experimenting with a home-made plane, powered with a Ford engine. They hope to get a Government contract for cheap, safe planes. Two other young inventors have just brought out small "foolproof" planes, that can be sold for $700 ot $800. One of them made 110 miles an hour in a test flight. Experts say nobody could crash either oi those planes if he tried. Safe, cheap flying is almost here I think it promises to be as big an industry as automobiles. Half the adventurous boys I know are going in for flying. When everyone takes to the air, what changes it will make in our ways of living and thinking! LEMONS and wai Next to lemon pie my family like: lemonade on hot Summer evenings A two-quart pitcher of lemonads doesn't last us very long.

Tom Fallon says the wholesalers have boosted the price to him nearly double." I asked a friend in the citrus fruit trade about it, next day. "It's the war in Africa," he said. "Italy has bought up all the European lemon crops and is bidding for California lemons. They need 'em for their soldiers, to keep them from getting scurvy." "War," said my wife when I told her that, "is what General Sherman said it was. No more lemon pie unJ til Mussolini and the Ethiopians get through fighting." War anywhere certainly touches everybody somewhere. FARMERS . . . sans character For a hundred years and more the old Hubbard 'farm, up near Lone- Pond, has supported, educat ed and made good citizens of generation after generation of Hubbards. A few years ago old Mr. Hubbard sold the place. I drove by the other day and saw an auction sale going on. The new owners were being "sold up" to satisfy their creditors, and the savings bank had foreclosed the mortgage on the ^ L-ti.Lt! 1 "Guess they just ain't good far- 3 mers," said Mr. Hubbard, when I i stopped by his cottage down the 1 road to ask him how come. I ^ dropped in at the bank. "No char- j acter," was the banker's harsh j judgment. "Thought they could make a living without working and j spend money before they earned it. c Do you know any real farmer who'd like to get a good place cheap? < There's a bargain for a man and wife with character and a little . capital. It's no place, though, for ' movie-h?unds, joyriders or people that war* short hours and long va' cations." I have a notion that a lot of the distress among farmers, that we ( | hear so much about, comes down to i that. J i k i FARMS selling again j 1 I get reports from the Middle 1 West of a revival of activity in < farm land sales. Good farms in ( 1 Nebraska have recently sold for | from $100 to $150 an acre. One 1 South Dakota farmer friend writes 1 me that he has been offered $150 \ an acre for his quarter section.
