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.

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.

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.
