THE BOOK CORNER
Reading From Left To Right
With
FRANCES GILBERT FRAZIER
Now that we are settled in the
peace that follows the hectic and
tearful days of the past five vears.
there are many of us who will want
to learn the details and inside
facts of incidents that were only
sketchedly touched upon by news
paper reports. It was impossible
for the reporters at those times
to go ueeply into specific data so
it makes a book like "MANY A
WATCHFUL NIGHT", by John
Mason Brown, of great interest at
this time.
No one could be better qual
ified to give this Information
than John Mason Brown, lieu
tenant in the United States
Navy. He was in the Nor
mandy invasion as well as the
Sicilian, where both times he
served as a lieutenant on the
staff of Viee-Admiral Alan G.
Kirk, USN, and was in a posi
tion to gather material for this
illuminating book.
The lense hours of waiting for
the Invasion, then the actual first
days and nights when the approach
to the French coast, the lirst sight
of France. Il.-llvur and a vivid ac
count of the war's impact as seen
(luring visits to shore with Gen
eral Bradley make this book so
real that the reader can visualize
the actual 'happenings. This is a
hook that every man, young or old.
will want to read and keep.
To the admirers of Alexan
der Woollimtt and they are
legion the new book "A
WOOLLCOTT: II IS L1FK AND
HIS WORLD" by one of Amer
ica's best known authors, Sam
uel Hopkins Adams, will be a
revelation, a pleasure and
something to keep in their li
brary. Almost every radio listener re
members "The Town Crier" and
the familiar salutation "Woollcotl
speaking." Kvery word he uttered
was coated with interest, and many
of his sentences were so heavily
encrusted with satire and cynicism
that the listener moved away
but always returned to hear more.
Samuel Hopkins Adams has
spared no one's feeling in his
book about Woollrott and it
makes interesting reading,
whether you liked the man or
not.
in's "THE GHEEN YEARS" now
as we did when its first release
was given to a waiting public. Dr.
Cronin's novels are so well and
favorably known that any book
under his signature would be
eagerly welcomed.
"THE GEEN YEARS" is
well worth the waiting for and
follows the success of his for
mer popular books, such as
"THE KEYS OF THE KING
DOM" and "THE CITADEL".
It is the story of young Rob
ert Shannon, striving against
the heaviest odds to salvage
his own soul. Then, too, there
is old Cadger Gow, the irre
sponsible, amorous, boasting,
penniless great - grandfather,
who comes through in a most
uprising fashion as the story
rounds out. Somehow, you lay
the book down after, you have
finished the last line and draw
a sigh of contentment. You
feel that you have absorbed
that same spirit which invaded
Robert Shannon's soul when
he slipped into the Holy An
gels Church.
It isn't a brand new book but
it has held the public interest
ever since it made its appearance
on tho bookseller's shelves. We
have as many calls for A. J. Cron-

every time some carpentry work
is needed by his company in the
,')2(ilh Glider Infantry in France,
according to information received
by the Kith Aairhorne Division
with which he has served.
Sgl. Warlick is leader of the
pioneer squad of the animuuil ion
and pioneer platoon of a head
quarters company, a job that calls
for knowledge of construction
tools. Besides working in the
local furniture factories he was
also employed in the mica mines
at Big Ridge, prior to entering the
service.

j From the moment he hove into
view, any one could tell be
the Head of the Family. He stuide
into Hie cafe, throwing wide the
screen door so thai his entrance
would command the attention of
all within seeing distance. The
fact that the door's return slapped
those who followed hirn was of lit
tle import to this Lord and Master,
lie surveyed the entire rooei itn
a dominating eye, selected the
table to his liking and immediate

party -a man much older than he
and three ladies meekly took
their seats with quiet acquiescence.
To the onlooker it was plainly to

mode of procedure and was taken
as a matter of routine.
But the head of the household
wasn't at all satisfied with Hie
chair he had selected. He ro.se
with alacrity, discarded (be chair
upon which he had been sitting
and appropriated one from the
next table. This, in turn, was not
quite to his fancy and another
change was made. During this
exchange of seating accommoda
tions, the waitress with the usual
accompaniment of menus and
water glasses arrived on the scene
at the exact and psychological mo
ment when she could, to the best
advantage, interfere with the
manipulations of the Head of the
Household
Down went five glasses of water
and up went a howl of protest from
the aforesaid Head of the House-'
hold. Water had splashed on him
and there was more agitation than
would be occasioned by a signing ;
at the Peace Conference.
Then came the real show down'
or show oil'. For ten minutes
he argued pro and con upon I he
requirements and desires ol his
appet ile. His greatest aim in life
seemed to be the attainment of :

There certainly was nothing se
