1t is heart-warming when tribute
is paid to man who has taught
hundreds of students down through
he years. Right now the University
of Washington Press is printing Stu
dies HOnoring Trevor Kincaid. Re-
member your zoology? They call it
animal biology now. But whatever
it is called, people all over our state,
! from Aberdeen to Zillah, will recall
their classes under Professor Kin
| caid. This book is a selection of
scientific papers written by the for
mer students of this fine teacher
who is now professor emeritus.
incidentally, folks at the Univer-
sity of Washington Press were ANU
sed recently when someone wrote
requesting a copy of Bad Man
Thomson. Sort of captivating title
at that, but what he was referring
to was Grant Redford's That Man
Thomson, an account of Reginald H
Thomson's part in the development
of Seattle. And believe me, he had a
hand in everything from the crea-
ting of the canal and locks to the
leveling of Denny Hill.
Did you ever stand in a voting
booth and get strange feelings in
your stomach because you weren't
sure what you were doing or why?
Then the Washington Voters Hand
book is for you. Prepared at the re-
quest of the League of Women Vo-
tiers of Washington, it tells ALL
from what qualifications are needed
to become a voter, to how to start
an initiative 1t answers every queS-
ton you might have about elections
even tells you how to become a
candidate for office. Nonpartisan,
| and only soc. This is also a Univer-
sity of Washington Press book.
Two Captains West (Superior) has
hit the bookstands. We think it will
hold the interest of every reader be-
cause it contains the logged human
determination of the explorers which
has given inspiration to the people
of America, Authors Albert and
Jane Salisbury tell the story of the
Lewis and Clark expedition, RELYING
| its adventures and recapturing the
excitement. For the general reader,
here is vital episode in the history
of our American West told in as
gripping style as fiction. For the
historian. the context of the original
journals is carefully preserved and
presented for the first time, in one
absorbing volume. For the tourist, 1t
is a personal guide to what could
be most rewarding vacation, trip
retracing the very paths of the ex-
plorers.
We like the light and refreshing
humor with which the Salisburys
relate their own amusing experien-
ces in following the trail from st.
Louis to the Pacific There are dir
ections, the most accurate and COM
plete to be found anywhere, which
make it possible for anyone to follow
the footsteps of Lewis and Clark.
One hundred and sixty beautiful
photographs reveal the landscape as
Lewis and Clark saw it. These pic
lures make Two Captains West the
book that Meriwether Lewis, him
self, would have liked to compile
because it was his unfulfilled wish
to photograph the magnificent sights
he saw
