Thursday afternoon Story
Hour Group, had a birthday
recently. This happy occasion
was marked by a party which
was attended by a host of her
little friends. Betty received
many nice gifts and reports
that she had a very happy
birthday. To this little library
patron, we say, "Best wishes,
and many more happy birth-
days."

Paula Ruth Fowler under-
went a tonsillectomy at the

was a brave little girl during
the operation, and is now re-
cuperating at the home of her

B. Taylor. We wish for Paula

12), "Aviation Adventures"
(for flying fans from 10 to 16),
and "Calling All Kids" (for
youngsters from 4 to 9). These
magazines should be in the li-
brary soon, children, so come
in and read them. We know
you will enjoy them!

For the grown-ups, we have
a new periodical called "Om-
nibook." This magazine, which
carries authorized abridge-
ments of four current best-
sellers each month, is a boon
to the busy reader who does
not have time to read the full-
length books as they come off
the press. The October issue
of "Omnibook" carries the fol-
lowing abridgements: "The Ad-
ventures of Wesley Jackson,"
by William Saroyan; "A Pock-
etful of Pebbles," by Jan
Struther (also the author of
Mrs. Miniver); " A World to
Win," by Upton Sinclair; and
"Oscar Wilde, His Life and
Wit, by Hesketh Pearson. The
September issue of "Omni-
book" is also in the library and
features "The Autobiography
of William Allen White," "This
Side of Innocence," by Taylor
Caldwell; "Talking Through
My Hats," By Lilly Dache; and
"David the Kind," by Gladys
Schmitt. The current number
of "Omnibook" may be check-
ed out overnight, while back
numbers may be checked out
for a period of five days.
