LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

This week we offer birthday
congratulations to two mem-
bers of the Boys' Library Club
- Bobby Addinton and Abie
Cook. Both of these boys are
eight years old, Bobby reach-
ing this ripe old age on April
16, and Abie on April 25. Bob-
by is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Addington, while Abie is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Cook.

We are always happy when
we can promote a member of
our Story Hour group into the
Boys' or Girls' Library Clubs.
It marks a milestone in the
child's achievements, giving
him a keen sense of satisfac-
tion. Harold Canham is the
proud little fellow who has just
been promoted, and he met
with Boys' Club for the first
time last week. He was very
happy when he came to the
meeting, and we wish him the
best of success as he enters this
new club work. Harold is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Can-
ham, well known Slater resi-
dents. His father is manager
of the Commissary.

Many of our club children
have been suffering from the
epidemic of measles which has
recently swept our village. To
all of those who are still kept
away from club meetings be-
cause of illness, we say: ''We
miss you; get well soon, and
hurry back to the library.''

We are always delighted to
have guests at the library, and
we are especially glad to have
our young patrons bring their
little friends and relatives with
them to the children's clubs.
Donald Townsend, from Jud-
son, visited Story Hour last
week. He is a cousin of Mar-
shall, Jimmy, and Linda Jones,
children of Mr. and Mrs. M. B.
Jones.

All of us have heard the
story of the ''Ugly Duckling''
- but did you know that this
story is really that of the
author's own life? Hans Chris-
tian Andersen was lank and un-
gainly as a small boy, but he
became one of the world's most
famous men. Andersen was
born on April 2, 1805, which
means that this April marked
the one hundred and forty-first
anniversary of his birth. We
are happy to pay tribute to
Hans Christian Andersen,
whose delightful fairy tales
have charmed both children
and parents for generations.

Some important April Anni-
versaries:
Paul Revere's Ride occured,
April 18, 1775.
Pony Express service start-
ed, April 3, 1860.
Noah Webster's ''Dictionary''
was published April 14, 1828.
William Shakespeare was
born April 23, 1564 and died
April 23, 1616.
Washington was inaugurated
first President April 30, 1789.

''The hardest job a kid faces
is that of learning good man-
ners without seeing any.'' -

by Miss Mildred Ross, sister of
the bridegroom.

The bride wore a powder

Mrs. Ross is the daughter of
