The Back Mountain Memorial Library Children’s Annex has recently added two more dinosaur books, one of the children’s favorite subjects. The first book is titled, ‘Before And After Dinosaurs’ by Lois and Louis Darling. The story of reptiles is really the story of life on earth, since all land creat- ures are descendants of the great Class Reptilia. This book describes the five subclasses of the Class Reptilia: turtles; the ancestors of the great Class Mammalia, from which we are descended; ichthyosaurs; ‘sauropferygians; and that most fascinating subclass, the ruling reptiles, which includes croco- dites, phytosaurs, birds, lizards and snakes, and the mighty dinosaurs. In this wonder- ful latter group was one of the largest land animals ever known--the 100,000 pound Bron- tosaurus. It has long been ex- tinct, but some descendants of the ruling reptiles still exist today. Lizards and snakes are the most plentiful, while the lonely little tuatara now lives on only a few islands, off New Zealand. Modern man still has very little knowledge of how life came about. The Darlings’ valuable book examines some of the things we do know about the beginnings of life, and its engrossing text and stunning illustrations vividly re-create the ancient times when dino- saurs prowled the earth, and pterodactyls, looking like flying dragons, swept through the sky on giant wings. “Wonders Of The Dinosaur World” by William H. Matthews is another new dinosaur book at the Children’s annex. Meet the “terrible lizards”, that fantas- tic race of reptiles that roamed our earth millions of years ago. In this lively yet accurate volume, these ferocious crea- tures become very real. Bron- tosaurus, the “thunder lizard’’; Tyrannosaurus rex, the ‘tyrant king’; duck-billed dinosaurs, reptiles that mimicked birds, all are described and pictured, as are the flying reptiles and sea-going monsters of the deep. The means of tracing their identities, through teeth, bones and even dinosaur eggs, are related, with stories of signi- ficant finds of the past and a list of places where dinosaur remains can be seen today. Theories are given as to why the huge reptiles disappeared, and illustrations include artists’ conceptions from major museums throughout the country. Professor Matthews has written extensively on fossils and prehistoric life. His treat- ment of the dinosaurs makes fascinating reading. immediately.

This project is intended to improve the environment in North- eastern Pennsylvania. The process of planning improved practices can get underway after appointment of committees consisting of citizens from the seven-county northeast area. Revegetating abandoned strip mines, improving recrea- tional facilities, studying poss- ibilities of establishing new industries in the area and overall land use planning are some of the projects to be considered. Robert Disque, chairman. of the Luzerne County Conser- vation District, has been named chairman of the steering com- mittee, which will get this project underway. Monthly planning and organizational meetings and temporary com- mittees have been established. The federal RC&D program is administered by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. There never was in the world two opinions alike, no more than two hairs or two grains. The most universal quality is diver- sity. An application for assistance and a work plan will be filed with the Soil Conservation Service for approval by Ken- neth E. Grant, administrator of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, Washington, D.C. The project will then be forwarded to Congress for funding. Mr. Disque said that this is an excellent opportunity for. the Northeastern area of Pennsyl- vania to engage in good plan- ning, that will economic growth as well as improvement of natural resources.
