His conclusion is valid. The News

persons would gladly skip the eighth

NEW BOOKS
AT THE LIBRARY

With the Summer reading sessions
drawing to a close several books
which have proved popular with
school age readers are reviewed
below.
BasebaIps Famous First Basemen,
by Ira j. Smith. Rudy York, Hal
Trosky, Sunny Jim Bottomley, Dolph
Camilli, Cap Anson, Lou Gehrig,
George Sisler, Bill Terry, whether he
was great, near great, or just good,
if you have a first baseman for your
private hero, he's included in this
book
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by
Samuel Clemens. Written by one of
Americas most popular new writer's,
the interesting style of Sam Clemens
should make this grow into one of
Americas favorites, if given time to
establish itself. Certainly it has been
one of the most popular books of the
new year.
Probably one of the most popular
topics among growing boys these
days is science fiction, if one is to
judge by the turnover of these books
on library shelves. Perhaps the most
widely read this summer have been
three by Lester Del Rey, Mission to
the Moon, Step to the Stars and A
Pirate Flag for Monterey. Another
popular science fiction tale for young
folks has been Space Police, by Alice
Mary Norton.
Girls tastes as always, seem to run
to stories of nurses, doctors and other
human interest tales, gaining the
most fans. Heavily used among the
many nurses series are the num-
erous volumes of the Sue Barton
series, which Helen Boylston has been
turning out in carload lots year after
year.
