Library News

Here is book that is highly rec
commended by scientists, religious
leaders, mem-of-goodwill from all
walks of life. United States Sena-
tor Stuart Symington says it
SHOULD be read by every American.
These recommendations were
made before the launching of Rus
sias little Satellite, and that event
makes the subject matter of the
book even more significant.
The title of the book is "On the
Beach" author Nevil Shute. Yet,
it ran as serial in one of the daily
papers but for such use books are
usually cut and shortened, and per-
haps we need the impact of the
book as a whole.
1t tells of the results of the last
great war on this planet, when the
remnant of humanity awaits it's
doom somewhere in Australia.
Unpleasant, no, not exactly, it is
not written that way, no horrid de-
tails, but it has something to rouse
us from the "complacency' of
which we the American people are
being accused. Available at the
West jefferson Public Library.

When 'Homemaking, Past, Pres
ent and Future" was selected as
the program theme for this year
by the Alpha Chapter of the Gra-
dale Sorority, three special meet
ings, scattered through the year,
were planned one to emphasize
each of the three phrases of the
title topic. The first of these,
Homemaking in the Past, was
scheduled as display of antiques
by members and was held last
Thursday evening, November IA at
the home of Mrs Charles Hay.
The spacious game room in the
basement of the Hay home provid-
ed ample space for the display of
the large and varied collection of
items belonging to members, many
of them being family heirlooms.
Co-program chairman for the
evening were Mrs. Ben TimmonS
and Mrs. Harold Headley. An orig
inal story, written by, Mrs. Tim
mons, telling of young pioneer
couples experiences in establishing
a home in Ohio, made mention of
the use of many of the antiques
displayed. The story was read by
Mrs. Headley, as Mrs. Timmons,
who had worked so enthusiastically
toward the program, was unable to
attend because of illness. At the
conclusion of the story each MEM
Der displayed her articles individ-
ually and gave any interesting in
formation she had about them.
Included were antique dishes,
cooking utensils, homespun cloth,
furniture, jewelry, gun complete
with powder horn and bullet mold,
and many other interesting items.
Two additional features which
added interest to the program were
a display of photographs of mem
bers as babies, and the modelling of
antique costumes by Mrs. Emmett
(Helen) Horn and Mrs. Emmett
tMarjorie) Young. The evening was
considered one of the highlights of
the chapters programs in recent
years by the more than thirty at
tending.
