Highlands Highlights
MRS. H. C. STORY
DEAD CHESTNUT TREES
These whited skeletons that thrust
their bony fingers to the sky,
Half hidden 'mid the green on
mountain side
These mighty wrecks of grandeur,
, stark and high, .
That flaunt their, tragic fate so far
and wide.
Are thy the bones of lofty chest
nut trees
That once gave beauty, food and
shade ? ,
Or are they ghosts of long-dead
Che.rokees
Returned to haunt their much
loved mountain glade?
ir. -
The sun reveals them in their help-
. less flight,
Victims of blight no human power
may stay
But when the moon reigns, shed
ding mystic light
Arc they dead trees or ghosts?
No man may say.
One visions, in their prime, these
biuteous trees,
diving both joy and . food to ab-
originees.

HUDSON LIBRARY NOTES
By Miss Gertrude Harbison
The Hudson Library, located on
East Main street next to the Epis
copal church, plays no small part
in ' the entertainment of the sum
mer visitors, to Highlands. Here
one' finds a wide variety of read
ing matter, both for reference and
to be borrowed for home reading,
and a quiet place to sit and read,
or rest a while from a walk. '
From a small beginning over SO
years ago the library has grown
to its present size of approximate
ly 5.000 volumes of fiction, bio
graphy, travel, nature books, his
tory, drama, and poetry, ine li
brary has continued to grow
through the years by the purchas
ing of new books whenever the
funds would permit, and by nu
merous gifts. In fact, the majority
of the volumes, and especially the
most valuable ones, have been pre
sented to the library toy interested
friends. Needless to say, gilts ot
trood hooks are always welcome.
The latest books on the reniai
shelf recently added to the library
are included in the tonowing imi.
"All This and Heaven Too," Rachel
Field; "Ballade In G Minor," Ethel
Boileau, "Disputed Passage," Lloyd
C. Douglas, "Eastward In taen.
David Garth, "Grapes of Wrath,"
John Steinbeck, "Listen, The
Wind!", Anne M. Lindbergh, "Mr.
Despondency's Daughter," Anne
Parrish, "Reaching For The
Stars", Nora Wain, "Rebecca",
Daphne Du Maurier, "Remember
The End", Agnes Sligh Turnbull,
"Song of Years", Bess S. Aldrich,
"William's Room", Alice Grant
Rosman. ,
At present the library is open
two hours every week day on
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
mornings from 10 to 12 o'clock,
and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat
urdays from 4 to 6 o'clock in the
afternoons. This schedule for op
ening the library will continue
through the first week of Sep
tember. Volunteer helpers assist
the regular librarians during the
summer, months.
In winter the library is open
only one afternoon a week, on
Saturdays. The Highlanders do
most of their reading during the
winter months, and many bopk
borrowers cal at the library duT"
ing the course of a atrda.y Btt
ernbon to lay in a supply of read
ing matter, especially if the fol
lowing day promises to be stormy,
The majority of the local readers
are school children who read for
diversion and to enable them
selves ' to make book reports in
connection with their school work.
With the coming of warmer
weather the book circulation begins
to decrease, for the summer sea-

son is filled with too many other
activities to leave the lotal readers
much time to spend with books,
But presently the summer residents
and tourists begin to visit the li
brary in quest-of books for vaca
tion reading, and the circulation
increases rapidly. Thus, summer and
winter, the Hudson Library is a
busy place and the source of
much benefit to Highlands and the
vicinity.
