Tape Recorders
Topic of Books
At Local Library
Until a few years ago tape
recorders were used mainly for
scientific and commercial pur-
poses. The various manufac-
turers in this field, however,
had the foresight to recognize
that tape recorders had many
potential applications in home,
business, and professional
activities. There was a need to
produce a machine that would
be easy to use, small in size, and
low in cost, without sacrificing
sound quality.
This has been accomplished.
Today a large variety of tape
recorders is available for use in
all phases of everyday life. In
How to Select and Use Your
Tape Recorder, David Mark
indicates the benefits that may
be obtained from magnetic tape
recordings and gives simplified
instructions for using tape
recorders in their many appli-
cations.
Since there is a rapidly in-
creasing number of people with
special interests in listening to
music and hi-fi recordings, one
chapter is devoted to the use of
tape recorders for increasing
enjoyment of music, and an-
other chapter describes the new
and fascinating field of making
stereophonic music recordings.
Also available at The Back
Mountain Memorial Library is
High Fidelity Systems by Roy
Allison, a layman’s guide to the
installation and care of sound
systems in the home.

Skit on Problems
A theatrical group from
Luzerne Community College
"recently presented a skit at a
meeting of the Dallas Kiwanis
Club, which dealt with some of
the current problems besgtting
modern society, includingfent
State, Lack of Communication
between various age groups, the
differences in life goals tc.
The playlet ran the gut of
emotion, from an appeal for not
judging a person’s character by
his appearance, to threats to the
American way of life for failure
to heed the demands ot today’s
youth.
The skit was provocative in
that while youth demanded to
be heard and not judged on ap-
pearances, youth denied the
same considerations to age.
