News About Books From the Library By MISS HELEN WEBSTER Medford Librarian Most occupations have their obvious times of tedium, and most have episodes of adventure too, whether we recognize them or not. We remember a young library page who tired of the daily rou tines of sorting and shelving books andQwas thrilled to be accepted on the police force. After e reading newspaper ac counts of his part in the capture of a thief and his rescue of a family from a fire which he had discovered, we spoke to him of the excitement of his new work. "Oh," said he, "it seems exciting at first, but after a little while it's just like library work, all routine." Piloting on River To the reader there is nothing routine about the livelihood, of Frederick Way Jr., river pilot on the Ohio River, as he describes it ins the book "Pilotin' Comes Natural." This is the story of an adventurous boy irresistibly drawn by the romance of the river. Like Mark Twain, he brings to his writing all the zest and humor and drama of river life to a book written from a store of first-hand information and real-life adventure. The fascinating story of a unique career is told by Charles 'Courtney in "Unlocking Adven ture," the autobiography of a locksmith. Courtney worked on chests which held the Russian crown jewels; he worked with divers under the sea to bring treasure from sunken ships. His story is as exciting as fiction.

Of the frontiersmen in habiting early Oregon none equalled Joe Meek in dramatic personality. Harvey Tobie re lates the story of a life as excit ing as that of Davy Crocket in his book, "No Man Like Joe; the Life and Times of Joseph L. Meek." If your own breadwinning seems humdrum lately, ask for one of these books at your public library.

"The "oldies," however, are more fervent than the young sters, whe do not bend from the waist just a snappy "bob the head" and "peck in 'the air" while holding' your hand limply in theirs. Their performance is strictly one of getting the silly business over with fast! Gap From Hand io Mouth The "middle age" group,' a lit tle more bending, will venture to within a foot of the hand but still would never think of kiss ing it. They prefer to "blow the kisses into the air." I've always had my suspicions of this type. From this halfway mark between standing bolt-upright and bending low, the man has the vantage point for get ting away with murder! . The woman can't possibly see his roving eye.

If he has the excuse "My aching back!" all is forgiven, however. At last my favorite category! Here are the "old timers" (wolves, flirts and playboys), who prove there is such a thing as an authentic and properly named hand-kisser. Believe it or not, they bend from the waist, bow low over your hand and actually press their lips to the back of your hand.- If your escort isn't look ing, the "old master" might even pull a fast one turn your hand over and kiss your palm!
