dramatic and powerful
novel. It is Malaya in the
1940s. All very gracious.

confident. They talk about

We knew a fellow once
who told us, “The only
resolution I'm making
this year is not to make
any New Year's
resolutions.”” And a lot of
us feel the same way. You
can put real teeth into a
New Year's resolution
with the aid of the Back
Mountain Memorial
Library. Make your New
Year’s resolutions and
keep them this year with
the aid of inspirational
and practical books from
your nearby, local
library. You will probably
improve your day-to-day
living and enjoy it much
more.

“The doll on the far left
of the picture is the
famous Shogun. Shogun
symbolizes ' generals or
military governors, made
famous in a TV movie and
a book last year,” said
Mrs. Meeker. J
“On the far right of the
picture, a doll with a
horse’s head symbolizes
the coming of the new
year,” said Mrs. Meeker.
“The doll of a colorful
bride symbolizes a
wealthy family, while a
doll with less color depicts
a poorer background.”
The unique dolls have
hands and faces made not
of plastic but of cloty. “It
it is really amazing the
way they stuff the very
small fingers,” com-
mented the proud owner
of the highly detailed
souvenirs. -
The folk singer doll
holds a guitar-like in-
struement which has tone
adjustable strings. Also,
the drummer doll carries
a tone adjustable musical
instrument.
“I have been saving
these dolls because I like
their beauty and they are
unusual,”’ said Mrs.
Meeker. “You can not buy
them in stores around
here. However, I believe
that you can buy them at
the United Nations
Building in New York
City.” /
