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.

instead of bending down to your
hand. 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! This
of course is accompanied by such
other signals of passion as clos
ing the eyes and opening them
with a most disconcerting, fixed
hypnotic stare.
Gloves Pose Impasse
Having gloves on can be the
most fun of all for you but
perilous for the playboy. Once
when a gentleman was coyly
but firmly tugging at my glove
in order to find a bit of the real
me to kiss, my hand slipped from
his grip and bopped him on the
nose.
