■.'|k NATIONAL BOOK WEEK
OBSERVANCE
The Seminole WPA Library will
join the nation in the twenty-third ob
servance of Book Week, November
2-8. “Forward With Books” is the
1941 slogan, and today as never be
fore it is necessary to give children
an opportunity to get acquainted with
books.
Book Week is an educational move
ment which engages the attention of
all who are seeking to encourage a
love of books among children. The
purpose of Book Week is also to en
courage home ownership of books and
companionship through books.
.The blessings of books cannot be
estimated. They bind together the dis
tant ages and foreign lands and create
new worlds of beauty. Every man or
woman who has had a happy childhood
in which books played a part, re
member certain books that helped
to make his childhood happy.
When we consider what some books
have done for the world, and what
they are doing at this time, we should
give eternal thanks for the blessings
of books.
“Many times the reading of a book
has made the future of a man,” says
Emerson.
Some of the nations most popular
books, both fiction and non-fiction,
are now being circulated by your local
WPA library.
Have you read “Berlin Diary” by
William Shirer? This is a most re
vealing and informative book on the
•war crisis.
Morgan Blake, Atlanta Journal
Columnist, says “One’s education in
complete until “Berlin Diary” is read.”
We will be glad to loan you this
bonk if you wish to read it.
Visit the library and see the other
new books you will want to read.

£^ON T THE ROAD TO DESSER
By Clifford Liddell
There is a much traveled road run
ning south from Donalsonville. Trucks
loaded with lumber and farm pro
ducts, buses crowded with school
children, automobiles transporting
families, all chasing along this high
way, slinging mud and gravel when
rainy season is on, and stirring up
clouds of dust when dry weather pre
vails.
We enjoy driving along this road
viewing the farms and homes which
line its sides. Seeing the fields being
cultivated and the different crops
harvested by the honest, hard-work
ing dirt farmers, my soul stirs with
in me. It creates a strong desire in
me for a few acres, a mule, a cow,
some chickens, a few hogs—all this
surrounding a modest dwelling. My,
how I would enjoy living somewhere
on that road busy all week and when
Saturday came drive to town and
mingle with the multitude.
Then when the Holy Sabbath came
I would drive to some house of wor
ship and in a special way "Praise God
from whom all blessings flow”.
And my prayer would be: “In
humbleness, 0 Lord I ask that thou
bestow on me the will and strength
to do some task for growth of love
for thee. Some task, not of my chos
en will for wisdom is not mine but
let my frailsome life fulfill some per
fect thought of thine.”
After traveling about eight miles
from Donalsonville, on this same road
we came to where a mail box hangs
on the end of a limb reaching from a
bole of cypress or cedar tree—a very
unique idea.
Here we see an entrance guarded

i lars. The way being open, wc drove
through finding a smooth, winding
drive way over which we moved casu-1
ally.
Very soon we found ourselves ap
proaching an attractive domain. It
cannot be called a cottage nor yet a
palace but a sort of betwixt and be
' tween.
This house is made of native wood.;
the inside ceiled with plank highly
polished, the floors are beautiful to
look at, the rooms are well furnish
cd. and all modern conveniences.
In front of this house is a green
sward, well kept, spreading over a
decline, like a huge carpet, and reach
ing a beautiful natural lake; one of
natures tiny mirrows which reflects |
her ever attractive self.
Every where surrounding, one sees j
azalias, camellias, roses and vines, all
rare specimens. These reveal to the
visitor that those who dwell here
have developed the the enth degree
the asthetic sense.
This place in the spring time re
minds one of the very borders of pa
radise. i
We shall not spend any more time
on the house and grounds. Surround- '
'ing it but turns our attention to the
real spirit and soul of this manor.
; When we drove up, there, seated on
i the portico, was a most attractive
elderly lady, the mother of this home,
I crocheting a bed spread. When she
; saw us she 'laid her work aside, arose
from the chair, and greeted us with a
I radiant smile at the same time reaeh
; ing out her hands to touch, and her
soft voice spoke, “Oh how glad I am
? that you have come. It always pleas
ies me when my friends come to see
i me.”
After chatting awhile we went out
i on the lawn to look around at all the
i interesting things and admire them.
A cardinal flitted from shrub to vine
and back again.
While we walked slowly among the
: trees, Mother Kelly stopped in her
tracks and looking up at the tall long
leaf pines that dotted the place, rais
ing her right hand she waved it at
them and said, “These are such grac
ious trees”. She was right, they are
most attractive.
As we all gazed at them I thought
of Charles R. Hearts poem,
“Southern Pines”.
“I think I know why pines in winter
wear
Their summer green where other trees
are bare
The j-est are punished for their sin of
pride
; That ought with thronging leaves the
' heavens to hide
For pines along athwart those depths
may grow
Yet with each twig a bit of azure
show;
They come no more between the skies
and you
Than homing birds that flit across the
blue.
Therefore their season is not quickly
run,
They are a part of heaven, like the
Sun.”
We moved on toward where autumn
flowers were beginning to bloom and
remarked of their peculiar hue which
is always much deeper and richer in I
the fall.
Before we knew it the sun had gone
down and night was approaching and
we must be going. But not before this
dear woman gathered vegetables out
of her garden, a vessel containing a
choice morsel from her pantry for us
to take home, and a bunch of purple
flowers.
As we drove away we looked back
and saw that kindly face wreathed
with a smile and her industrious but
well-shaped hand waving us good
bye.
On the road speeding toward home
our mind was filled with thoughts of
I tender and sweet associations that
linger like old lavender in ancient
[trunks which hold mementos priceless
l value.
P. S. The dutiful son who makes
* such a home possible for his dear
mother comes in for his share of re
spect and honor.
