News About Books
From the Library
"Ring out the old, ring in
the new, ring happy bells. . ."
Our poetic license is hardly
justified, after all; for it's the
sound of hammer and saw
that resounds within your
public library, not that of
bells. What's more, the build
ing that goes on is not new
construction but the renewing
of something rather too old.
In our enjoyment of the li
brary's new wing we are
likely to forget that the larger
part of the building is actual
ly almost half a century old.
It has come to that age so
familiar in automobiles when
its parts need constant sur
veillance and repair. Present
ly under reconstruction is all
the shelving in the east and
west reading rooms, which
has become insecure in its
old age.
We are sorry for the an
noyance caused our readers
by the noise and the confusion
of having to remove the books
from shelves to floor as the
work progresses. We should
like to borrow the signs of
the division of highways to
explain to you that construc
tion is now going on for your
future protection and peace of
mind.
No longer will you endure
the shock of hearing an entire
shelf-full of books slam to the
floor or the embarrassment
of having a shelf-full fall
noisily at your feet when a
single book was all you meant
to withdraw. And we thank
you for your patience!
Entirely new, however, are
the 61 titles listed below, add
ed during the past two weeks.
Donors of books during the
period were Mrs Lucille Boe
nig and Nevius M. Curtis.

Fort Lewis Soldiers
Plan Alaska Exercise
Fort Lewis OP) About 1,
400 troops of the reinforced
2nd Battle Group, 39th Infan
try will embark Monday for
Alaska to participate in Ex
ercise Cold Bay for two
months.
The main body of the 4th

from here for Port Whittier,
Alaska. An advance party of
150 flew to Alaska from Mo

Young Survivor
Of Wreck Ponders
Life in Future
Eureka, S.D. OP) A 16-year-old
boy, who with a sis
ter survived a traffic wreck
that killed his parents and
seven others, looked ud from
j a hospital bed in pain and
bewilderment Thursday and
asked his grandfather,
"What's to become of us?"
The boy, Wilbert Beck, 16,
Eureka, had been informed
a short time before that his
parents, three sisters and a
brother were dead killed
New Year's night in one of
South Dakota's worst traffic
crashes.
Also killed in the grinding
head-on collision were three
teen-age boys in the second
car. Doctors said a 10th vic
tim of the wreck was Mrs.
Beck's unborn bab'y which
was to have arrived in March.
The only other survivor
was Wilbert's younger sister,
Mary, 6. Both were hospital
ized with fractured legs and
the little girl also was suf
fering from internal injur
ies. Mary also was told of the
tragedy late Thursday morn
ing, but a physician said she
was in such shock and pain
that the information made
little impression.
"She doesn't realize the im
pact of it," the doctor said.
The wreck equalled ' the
worst single car accident in
South Dakota history. Nine
persons also were killed in
1956 in a collision near Wall.
Accident On Good Road
Police said the crash oc
curred on "one of the best
stretches of highway in South
Dakota" when the car carry
ing the teen-agers apparently
veered into the wrong lane
of traffic and rammed the
Beck car head on.
A mass funeral service is
scheduled for Monday in the
Eureka City Auditorium for
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Beck,
45 and 42 vears old: and their
children, Harold, 18: Ruby,
11; Priscilla, 4; and Dons, 2.
One of the three boys in the
other car, Larry Weidmeyer,
16, Eureka, also will be bur
ied Monday. The others, Mar
vin Neuharth, 18, the driver,
and Clyde Krein, 16, will be
interred Sunday.
