It was only natural that the boys would come to me with their problems, and I to them. Allen would consult with me about a song he was writing. Fran would discuss a new ar rangement he was working up for us. John would ask my opin ion about a new suit or tie he had on.

Now, of course, we travel very little, since we're with Bob Cros by on his CBS television show every day. If nothing more, I've learned what makes four men tick-rather than just one.

News About Books From the Library B7 MISS HELEN WEBSTER Medford Librarian Particularly welcome, and particularly appropriate this year in which we celebrate the Lewis and Clark Expedition Sesquicentennial, is a gift of books donated to the Medford Public Library by Robertson E. Collins in memory of the late Floyd Hart. In accordance with Mr. Hart s special interest in northwest his tory, Miss Fay Woolsey selected the following titles for purchase with the fund provided by Mr. Collins: "Peaceful Conquest," by Kel- sie Osborne, a story of the great expedition by which Lewis and Clark solved the last great mys teries of the North American continent. The author has created a gripping narrative of the 8,000-mile journey into a vast and dangerous unknown region. Northwest History Explorers, from Seamen Bal boa and Gray to Oregon's Mc- Loughlin stand forth as living men in Gordon's Speck's "North west Explorations," an account of 500 fabulous years of sea and land discovery in the Pacific Northwest. John Gwyther describes one of the most remarkable adven tures of all times in "Captain Cook and the South Pacific." When Lieutenant James Cook put forth to sea from Plymouth in the bark "Endeavor," he car ried sealed orders. Only after his ship was far at sea did he and his crew know that they were heading into uncharted waters. Origin of Constrration "Beyond the Hundredth Meri dian," by Wallace Stegner re counts John Wesley -Powell's most dramatic achievement, his leadership of the first expedi tion to descend the Green and Colorado rivers through all their canyons. Resulting from his explorations was our whole American philosophy of conser vation and reclamation, a sub ject which was also a special interest of Mr. Hart. The casually but accurately written "Wildlife of the Pacific Northwest" by McKenny is another memorial book selected in accordance with this interest. This book, by a widely recog A Salute To The F.F.A. And 4-H Clubs' " We are happy indeed to pay tribute to the youth of this nation who are members of the 4-H Clubs and F.F.A.
