Many requests have been made for’ books on mechanics, a demand which “Fifty Years of Popular Mec- hanics” will fill. “Eisenhower”, by John Gunther, gives a pen portrait of the general who may well be our next President. “The Healing Woods”, by M. Reben, is the day by day story of a woman who was so ill when she went into the woods that a cot had to be placed in the boat for her comfort. Readers who enjoyed “We Took to the Weods”, by Rich, will enjoy this one. Strictly non-fiction, but strictly enjoyable. “Art Treasures of the Louvre” is self descriptive and nicely illust- rated. “Linoln and his Gmerals”, T. H. Williams, is a series of commanding figures against a vivid Civil War background. “The World of Willa Cather”, by M. R. Bennett, is the well known author’s biography. “It Happens Every Thursday” is the hilarious account of happenings on a country newspaper, written by the associate editor, Jane Mcllvane. “Tragic Target” is by M. E. Heber- den, “Magnificent Century”, a review by [Costain. » “Grand Right and Ieft”, L. Kron- enberger, is a delightful story of a man with a desire to collect living celebrities. “Home to Tennessee” by A. Crabb, is full of romance and espionage. “This Fascinating ‘Animal World”, by Devoe, is profusely illustrated and makes marvelous reading. crats don’t look so formidable to business as they did a few weeks back. What about the Republicans? Well, to me, it is pretty hard to see any candidate outside of Eisenhower or Taft, It doesn’t seem likely that the Convention will be foolish enough to pin its hopes on some “dark horse” that may fall down in the big race. Businessmen generally would feel pretty good right now if they knew for certain that a con- servative is to be in ‘the White House next January. Thus, sizing up both the Democrats and the Repub- licans, it looks to me like a swing to the right! MORE SPENDING RIGHT AWAY! Finally ,the Democrats know that if business is good and the voters are happy next November 4, they will have a better chance to win again. You can bet that their “smoke-filled rooms” are already busy mapping the strategy for keep- ing things humming right up to poll- ing time. They may have lost their leader, but they haven't lost their sense of direction. Already we have seen the govern- ment granting permission to the military to award contracts to “job distress’ areas. It isn’t ia far step from this to finding other reasons why defense spending should be stepped up in the months immedi- ately ahead. Certainly, if the people get an impression that new wave of inflation is on the way, which recent strikes indicate, they maly do a little more buying themselves. DALLAS 5c--10c to $1.

M. B. Hicks, Williams- port, mother-in-law of Mrs. Pillar to Post, Dallas, figured in the news last week as having attended her sixty-eighth consecutive alumni ban- quet since graduating in 1884 from Dickinson Seminary, now Lycoming College. Mrs. Hicks has never missed an alumni banquet mor a graduation. She serves on the Lycoming ‘College Board, as well as numerous other Boards of the community, and at eighty-six is active in all civic and community affairs. For fifty years she was superin- tendent of the Primary Room at Pine [Street Methodist Sunday School and is still to be found among the woman preparing for WSCS dinners. Daughter of a Methodist minister and widow of a prominent lawyer, she is frequently called upon for the invocation at civic dinners and ban- guets, She maintains an educatea interest in current affairs, reads ex- apartment. She has eighteen great-grand- children, seventeen of whom have been supplied by the T. M. B. Hicks, Jr. family on Pioneer Avenue, Dal- as. Called upon to take extensive care of her eldest son, who passed away in January, Mrs. Hicks has re- covered from the fatigue induced by that experience and is as energetic as ever. And if that isn’t a record for a woman who celebrated her eighty- sixth birthday March 1, let some- body try to better it. She never forgets a birthday nor an anniversary, and treasures thank- you notes written in the childish scrawls of the great-grands. She's always ready to take up an intri- cte bit of knitting, tackle house cleaning, or take a long trip in a This Energetic Young Thing Of 86 Has Never Missed A Graduation tensively, and cares for her own car. She can outwalk many far younger people, but has recently compromised with common sense by taking a taxi in slippery weather. She takes our breath away. Our guess is that she'll be attend- ing her eightieth reunion in 1964 as ‘well as her seventieth, due in 1954.
