Nba Page 8 The library—does it mean “dullsville” or ‘‘fun’’ to youngsters? The answer, ' of course, is that it depends on the child, and wise parents know that children who begin using the library at an early age are certain to develop a positive attitude toward it. Realizing this, Sue Davern has initiated a program which encourages children of nursery school age to utilize the Back Mountain Memorial Library’s Children’s Annex as a regular part of their class sessions. Mrs. “Davern, librarian, told the Post ‘that she and Mrs. Donald Watchulonis, proprietor and head teacher at the Hilltop Nursery School in Dallas, have arranged for the nursery school youngsters to visit the annex on a regular basis. The first visit took place Tuesday morning at 10 a.m., and the three and four year old children listened intently as Nancy Kozemchak, children’s librarian, explained how books should be handled and where books for their ages are shelved. In commenting on the new program, Mrs. Davern pointed out that the library is often the first public agency a child uses on a voluntary basis. “It is a place where he can develop and enjoy a sense of independent responsibility,” Mrs. Davern suggested, ‘‘and can help him form a reading habit which will provide a continuous source of education long after his formal education is completed.” Don’t let entertaining get you down.

A new book by Marhall and Sue Burchard entitled Sports Hero: Brooks Robinson is avail- able at the Children’s Annex of the Back Mountain Memorial Library. This is the story of one of the greatest third basemen of all time, the man they call Mr. Impossible: Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles. One of the trickiest positions to play in baseball is third base. Brooks Robinson played base- ball from the time he was a small boy. He played catch with his father, spur-of-the-moment games with his friends, and participated in organized Midget League competition. When no one else was around, he practiced for hours by him- self. By the time he was gradu- ated from high school, he was so good several major-league teams asked him to join their clubs. As a Baltimore Oriole, Brooks has astounded fans and rival players alike with his amazing fielding performances. And in 1970 he helped his team reach the top of the baseball world, Auto License Fee Reduced for Elderly Rep. Frank J. O’Connell Jr. (R-Luzerne) reminded senior citizens that they are eligible for the reduced auto license re- gistration renewal fee. Rep. O’Connell said that those persons who are retired and are receiving social security or other pension payments and did not have a total income from all sources including social security or other pensions ex- year are eligible for the reduced license of $10. ‘Along with the special appli- cation for the reduced fee, the person must submit in writing a statement verifying his qualifi- cations,” Mr. O’Connell said. He pointed out that the Bureau of Motor Vehicles is now mailing out-these special appli- cations, along with the regular $14 auto license registration renewal applications. The Bureau is mailing approxim- ately 6,000 of these applications each day, he added. “Rep. O'Connell explained that if anyone has not received his application, he may contact Mr. O’Connell at his Harrisburg office and he will be glad to ob- tain the necessary forms. The address is: Rep. Frank J. O’Connell Jr., Box 198, House of Representatives, Main Capitol Building, Harrisburg. Hmited edition, $30.00 winning the World Series. The third base position is known as the hot corner because the third baseman has so many ‘hot” line drives and ground balls to handle. He must be able to make his throws quickly and accurately, even when he is off balance. He also needs a strong arm so he can make the long throw across the infield to first base. Brooks Robinson is so in- credible a star they call him ‘Mr. Impossible.’ Sir MacHinery by Tom McGowen is a book about Merlin the wizard and Profes- sor Simon Smith. Merlin at- tacked problems with an army of ghosts, wee people, and a witch. Professor Smith’s army was comprised of Sir MacHinery, a small mechanical robot with an analytical com- puter brain that had been pro- grammed to aid the human race in spite of all obstacles. With the advice and support of the wizard and the professor, Sir MacHinery had to destroy the dark and hideous evil forces that were rapidly encroaching on the entire earth. All yearned for a world in which love and peace would be the overpower- ing strengths. Unless Sir MacHinery acted immediately, the demons would corrupt men and turn the nations of the world against one another. “Are not what I call magic and you call science simply dif- ferent ways of solving certain problems?’ Merlin the wizard asked Professor Simon Smith. When twentieth-century science and sixth-century magic combine forces, strange, eerie, and miraculour happen- ings occur. Honor Students Dr. Marvin J.
