Library Books For "Long Calm View" of Crisis

Reading is a favorite pastime of the fall and winter months. The public library suggests the following books:

Books for the "long and calm view" of the present crisis: Adamic, "My America"; Bryson, "Which Way America?"; Johnsen "Neutrality Policy of the United States:" Millis, "The Road to War."

In addition to the current news as it appears in "Time," "Life" and "The New Republic" readers will want to consult the pamphlet "Background for War" by the editors of "Time."

Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and the contrasting book by Nora Waln, "Reaching for the Stars," are also popular.

For those readers who wish to "escape" the following travel books issued by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace will be of interest: Collis, "Lords of the Sunset" (about the Shan States); Rothery, "Norway Changing and Changeless;" Timbres, "We Didn't Ask Utopia;" Wedell, Introduction to Argentina."

Other new books at the library are: fiction - Forester, "Captain Horatio Hornblower;" Gardner, "Snow Water;" Golding, Mr. Emmanuel;" Sharp, "Harlequin House;" Shute, "Kindling;" Stout, Mountain Cat;" Tirkell, The Brandons;" Wentworth, "Lonesome Road:" Wilson, "King Pin."

Non-fiction - Beard, "America in Midpassage;" Dodd, "Through Embassy Eyes;" Gunther, Inside Asia:" Heiser, "You're the Doctor;" St. Exupery, "Wind Sand and Stars;" Ueland, "Me;" Van Paassen, "Days of Our Years."

For those who didn't get around to reading them last year, "All This and Heaven Too," "Rebecca" and "The Horse and Buggy Doctor" are suggested.
