TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, February 19, 1956 News About Books From the Library By MISS HELEN WEBSTER Medford Librarian "Christian books building minds for tomorrow" is the theme for Catholic Book Week, Feb. 19-25, 1956. The Rev. Rich ard J. Cushing, archbishop of Boston and honorary chairman of the the observance said, "Christian books in the Chris tian home, carefully selected and intelligently" digested, de velop young minds ready to meet the future." In accordance with the purpose of Catholic Book Week, to evoke the interest of the general read ing public in Catholic authors, your Medford Public library has arranged a display of a selec tion of their books. Included are two fine collections of Catholic literature, "The Wisdom of Catholicism", by Ralph Louis Woods. In the first of these the spirit and substance of Catholic life, faith, and history is set forth in selections from 20 centuries of Catholic writings. The second is an anthology of brief devotional Grange Eagle Point . Eagle Point Grange No. 664, will meet in regular 'session,1 Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 8 p.m. in the Grange hall.

Tuesday, Feb. 14 with a good attendance and all officers present. The lecturer's program pre ceded the regular meeting in order that those on the serving committee and others could hear Mrs. Frank Perl tell of her trip to England and vother foreign countries. Her description of the country, and people she met and places of interest visited, was very interesting. All present have probably changed their opinion, of England in particular. The colored slides used to illus trate her talk showed beautiful flower gardens, well kept lawns, fields and ' hedges, and not a country shrouded in fog and gloom as is so often described. Mrs. Perl agreed to show slides taken in other countries at the March 13 Grange meeting, when the lecture hour will again pre cede the regular meeting, and be open to friends who are non members. - , Visitors from other Granges were Mrs. Anna Scott from Up per Applegate; Mrs. Lillian Force, Eagle Point; and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kuest of Central Point. : W. B. Tucker reported on emergency feed available to farmers who suffered loss of feed by flood, also the Soil Bank. Charley Hockersmith reported on the recent flood control meet ing in Grants Pass which he attended. A resolution concerning flood control was read and approved by the Grange. The resolution will be sent to Secretary of In terior Douglas McKay. Jake Arnold reporting on hor ticulture said pears had moved out of the" valley steadily. That the apple situation in the state of Washington was bad. Trees had been badly damaged by the freeze last spring, and the apple market was slow. HEC Chairman Velma Johnson called attention to the display table of knitted lace and tatting made and arranged by Mrs. Christine Dinsmore and daugh ter, Mrs. Mervin Hixon.

Thomas' Merton's "Seeds of Con templation" is composed of re flections on prayer and the inner life by the Trappist monk. In "No Man Is an Island" by the same writer such topics as si lence, solitude, the necessity of a sense of community, the re lation between being and doing, are covered for the general reader in the form of short para graphs. Two books by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen that offer helpful and inspiring passages are "Life is Worth Living" and "God Love You." Recent Catholic biogra phies include - "Therese, Saint of a Little Way," by Frances Parkinson Keyes, "My Life for My Sheep", a biography of Thomas a Becket, by Alfred Duggan and Theodore Maynard's "Saints for Our Times." This last presents 18 biographies of saints, whose lives hold special meaning for today. Story of Jesus "Jesus' and His Times," by Daniel Rops (pseudonym) tells the story of Jesus' life with a detailed background of the times, peoples, customs, and be liefs among which He lived and died. It is a well-rounded,' read able, and scholarly discussion. While it is to be hoped that reading books is never a pen itential deed, the fact remains that during Lent one's thoughts turn to books of meditation, of history, of reflection- experience. Catholic Book Week will be followed in the library and in this column with suggestions for Lenten reading for the thought ful of both the Catholic and Protestant faiths.
