NOW AND THEN NOW and then a trip to Clinton Public Library does us good, There, in an atmosphere of peace and quiet, we can get 'a smoother saner perspective of the work-a- day world as we leaf through cur- rent magazines, old and new nov- els, history, biography, poetry, science or the books we read when we were children. Doubly good is the book which holds our attent- ion when we pick it up twenty or forty years after we first read it. But better than the reminiscing which older folk do is the explor- ation which lies open for the children growing up in Clinton with a good library within reach. This is Young Canada's Book Week, and a•trip to the local lib- rary will be fun for young folk who like books of any sort, Newly on the shelves is "A Mike for Marion," the story of a teen- age girl who had her wish for a job as a radio commentator an- swered just when she least expec- ted it. Complications involving Johnny, the boy next door, and conversations with Flip, the fam- ily dog, make the happenings in the exciting world of radio ones which, shouldn't be missed. "Half-pint," a vivid story about an active young boy on a ranch, with his dog, Fritz, and his horse, "kind of poky" Buster, will be enjoyed. by every ten-year-old, or thereabouts. Reaching a climax, when. just before Christmas, young Billy with an old 'ranch hand, Joker, is left to take care of the stock, and a severe snowstorm, catches Billy alone with his horse in an old abandoned shack, the story is an exciting one for both boys and girls. "Tommy One and Tommy Two" was written by Tom Cowan (Tom- my One), for his son, Tommy Two. Some of the poems are short and some are long, and they have the sort of music we've all heard in the Christopher Robin stories: The Spirit I push very fast On the big lawn mower. Then I push slower And slower, and slower. I pant and puff Till my sides •are sore. ,Rest on the hammock 'Till the panting's o'er. Then, Up once again and I push some more. Others among the new books are: Polly Roughouse; , Hilary Takes a Hand; Thirty-three Bunn Street; Orphans of the Range; He went with Captain Cook; Robin and Company; Escape from the Icecap; Veronica at the Wells (a story of the ballet); Dangerous Cargo; Champlain of the St. Law- rence. 0 St. Andrew's WMS Has Good Attendance The Women's Missionary So- ciety of St. Andrew's Presbyter- ian Church met on Tuesday after- noon at the home of Mrs. William Shaddock, Albert St.,for its No- vember meeting. rs.
