The H. Leslie Perry Memorial Library has a number of new books for the library shelves. Always in the fall of the year there are new books by popular authors.
Among the new light fiction books are novels by Emilie Loring, Lida Larrimore and Martha Ostenso.
"With Banners" by Loring is a lively entertaining story.
Larrimore's "True by the Sun" is the story of a young Princeton graduate who had a difficult time finding his place in the business world because of economic conditions.
White Reef, on the Pacific Coast, is the scene of many shipwrecks and there, Silas Darnell made his home in Heartbrook Cove when disaster came to his fishing boat. Martha Ostenso's "White Reef" features Silas' daughter, Nona, who runs away with Quentin Wingate, an "outsider"
"The Safe Bridge" by Frances Parkinson Keyes is the story of Elizabeth Burr who was disowned by her father and exiled from Scotland to Ryegate (Vermont) in the early 1800's because of an innocent but indiscreet adventure with her lover. How she became a part of the community, married a worthy local farmer, and brought up a large family, makes an interesting story.
"Brinkley Manor" is a characteristic Wodehouse story in which Jeeves deftly shapes the romances of Angela with Tuppy Glossop and of Madeline with Gussie Fink-Nottle.
Other fiction titles are "Bull's Eye" by Milward Kennedy, "Flame in the Forest" by Harold Titus, Brown's "Scotland Yard Can Wait" and "Trail Dust" by Clarence E. Mulford.
Hilaire Belloc's "Richelieu" sketches only the main events of the great cardinal's career. The purpose of the book is to prove the author's thesis that Richelieu's policies were chiefly responsible for two significant developments in European history - the division of Christendom into two opposing cultures, Protestant and Catholic, and the growth of the nationalistic state.
In Stuart Chase's "Economy of Abundance" he takes an inventory of our resources of energy, goods and services, analyzes the economy of this new abundance and shows the advance in well-being that might be attained if these resources were permitted to be used in our behalf instead of being largely dissipated.
"Windows on Henry Street" by Lillian D. Wald is the story of the Henry Street settlement and reflects twenty years of social progress in a changing East Side, New York City.
Thomas Hamilton Ormsbee's "The Story of American Furniture" is a well organized book and more critical and more informative than many of the books written on the subject of American furniture.
Another book of furniture and also of architecture is "A Century of Progress Homes and Furnishings."
It has photographs and explanations of the exhibits at the World Fair.
Several new books for the high school debaters will prove of interest to patrons interested in the subjects. These are "Problems of Liquor Control," "Sales Taxes", "Government Ownership of Public Utilities," and "Equalizing Educational Opportunity"
A new book of Halloween Games and stories is among the new books.
"Merchants of Death" by Engelbrecht and Hanighen is a study of the International Armament industry.
