Washington (U.R) The pub
licQseems to have maintained
over the years its interest in
reading about
automobiles.
Accord ing
to the Public
Library of the
District of Co
lumbia, a few
years ago
many people
were checking
out books on
the auto's his
tory. Like one
Hirman Nichol cauej -j-ju er
Jtp," which went back to the
beginning of the gas buggy. And
other books like James Melton's
"Bright Wheels Rolling," an
eutobigraphical sketch of the
problems ol a collector of relics,
or old-twne cars.
Folks still are taking out
books on automobiles, even
though the emphasis has shifted
a little. Harry N. Peterson, li
brarian of the district's big book
shop, says people these days are
leaning toward books on auto
repair and maintenance.
Uranium Hunters
"Obviously," said Peterson,
"as a result of the do it yourself
craze. And also, there have been
a lot of calls for the books we
have in the stacks on foreign
spirts cars."
The role uranium has played
In recent times has affected the
reading of the public. There is
great demand for a little booklet
called "Prospecting for Uran
ium," published by the Atomic
Energy Commission.
"Also," Peterson said, "a
book called 'Uranium Prospec
tor's Guide' is in great demand."
And getting back a second to
the do it yourself fad, books
like "Inside T.oday's Home" and
"Planning Your Home For
Play" are in big demand from
borrowers at the library.
The big library is a pretty
popular place. During the year
ended June 30, 1955, some 2,
068,041 books were lent to the
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Ptmf hir Wrir
people. That represented an in
crease of 52,305 over the pre
vious year.
Bocks About Davy
It isn't hard to imagine that
the Davy Crockett's sudden rise
from the forgotten created a con
spicuous new trend in children's
reading.
"One children's librarian,"
Peterson said, "reported that
nothing ever rung in her ears
with such vehemence as the
cries for Davy Crockett from all
ages and both sexes."
The librarian added, however,
that "fortunately boys and girls
are willing to read of other
frontiersmen, especially Daniel
Boone, who was until recently
their favorite pioneer hero."
Television, the movies, and
radio, as always still influence
the reading puolic. There are de
mands for Anderson's "Fairy
Tales," Verne's ".Twenty Thous
and Leagues Under The Sea,"'
"Peter Pan" and 'Aesops Fa
bles." Alas and alack. Shakespeare,
at the moment, seems to be
taking a back seat.

Heavy Rains Pound East; Mojave Desert Hit by Cloudburst
By UNITE DPRESS
The fast dying hurricane
Diane pounded Eastern states
with heavy rains today and
spread flood waters through
North Carolina and West Vir
ginia. Cloudbursts also swelled flash
floods in the desert regions of
Southern California. Railroad
tracks were washed out and
motorists were temporarily
stranded.
Diane couldn't work up winds
any higher than 40 miles an hour
as she staggered through Vir
ginia today. But the damage she
caused was counted in the mil
lions of dollars and more may
result from flood waters.
The heavy rains spread into
New England, causing a land
slide near Bolton, Vt., which
killed a child and her parents.
Five feet of mud smashed onto
the David Cutter family as they
stood on a back road near U.S.
Route 2 last night. Rescue work
ers found Cutter and his wife,
both 40, dead. Their 2-year-old
daughter, Patricia, was still
alive, clutched in her mother's
arms. But she died before she
could reach a Burlington, Vt.,
hospital. ,
The desert Southwest mean
while registered some of the
ration's hottest and wettest
weather. The 102 degrees at
Yuma, Ariz., was the highest in
the country yesterday and a tor
rential summer cloudburst hit
California's Mojave Desert.
The cloudburst sent tons of
water, debris and rocks across
highway 91 at Paso Alto, Calif.,
closing it to traffic, and the
Union Pacific's- rail tracks were
washed out in the wasteland
area. Near Blythe, Calif., two
bridges were washed away and
22 motorists were temporarily
stranded on a flooded stretch of
U.S. Highway 60-70.
Temperatures were above
their summer normals in most
of the rest of the country and
got as high as 102 at Bismarck,
N.D., and Mowbridge, S.D., yesterday.
MOVIE TOWNS
Hutchinson, Kan. (U.R)
There'll be two new towns in
Kansas if the present movie
script of "Picnic" is followed.
The moviemakers have given the
names "Salinason" and "Halster"
to the two towns in the film.
The first name is compounded
from Hutchinson and Salina and
the second . from Halstead and
Sterling where most of - the
scenes are being shot.
Massachusetts leads in the pro
duction of cranberries.
Medford People Named
Siskiyou Jair Judges
Three Medford residents will
be in Siskiyou county to serve

ens and textiles, and Mrs. Lillian
