Book Committee Picks
Thirteen More Books
Book Selection committee, Back
Mountain Memorial Library Book
Club, has picked thirteen books for
the Book Club shelf.
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.

cording to Raymond Kuhnert, super-

“This gets her attention much better than a buzzer!”
Mrs. T. 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

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. '
