Library Corner 100 Credits A book all boys and many girls will like Is called "Bill Bruce Becomes an Ace" and Is written by H. H.

Arnold. This book Is about Bill Bruce, an air pilot. He goes to Europe while the World War la on and while fighting he becomes an ace. In the first chapter he Is In a camp In the V. 8.

A. waiting to be sent to France. When he Is about to go he Is called to the office and Is given a watertight envelope with secret plans Inside. The men told Bill that If he was captured he was to destroy the plans. When they sailed he discovered his room was searched but he did not say anything about it for fear he would have to tell about the plans.

When they were about 40 miles off the coast of France they were sunk by a German U-boat. The men aboard the U-boat tried to get Bill Bruce from the lifeboat but the other men would not tell which one he was. In the nick of time a fleet of French cruisers came to the Americans' aid. Several attempts to take the plans from Bill were made but all failed. When he got the plans through he found out that they were blank pieces of paper.

It was only a decoy so that the real carrier of the plans could get through. After that Bill got Into the war and became an ace. PHILIP BAKELAER, 14'j. West Sayvllle, L. I.

Greetings and Salutations Dear Junior Eagle Members: A tew Sundays ago I printed a letter from Richard Wohlgethan, a Brooklyn boy who has gone to a CCC ramp In Idaho. Richard had so many fan letters from members of this club that I have decided to print some extract from his diary.

Standing out amongst them all was Ted. and tall, with his well-shaped head. I still remember him as he stood on the deck And many a time a tear I had to check, But as they sailed away I had to cry, Thinking of all the others who long ago did die. I looked at Ted as my defender, Although In years he is tender. God bless these fine young boys And let them have all of life's Joys.

Diary of a CCC Boy Aug 11 Went on a trip to Spokane, last Saturday. How clean it Is there and yet I didn't see one trash basket like those In New York. They have white enameled drinking fountains on every corner and a bell rings when traffic lights change.

I hear we can expect eight feet of snow In these Idaho Winters. When I do get home I guess I'll be getting up at 6 a m. to fry my bacon and eggs from force of habit. Aug. 24 Well, I'm sitting here on my bed, stripped to the waist and sweating like they do In the comlo strips after a hard day's work.

Every Saturday they pick one unfortunate guy from each tent to work for the army a half day. You guessed It. Today It was I. Just got through making my bed with clean sheet, etc. In an hour I'll look like I'm going to a ball and click my heels like a general for Inspection.

Aug. 28 On the way to work today we were stalled by a herd of sheep on the road, 2,500 of them. The small ones were so cute. There were a few black sheep, too. The sheep dog looked so wise as If he were a school teacher watching every expectant prank.

The sheep scampered up the sloping side of the road skillfully. I remember when I used to see a small flock In Prospect Park. On Sept. 1 the old-timers will leave here and the new rookies will come in, advancing us to "old-timers." Yesterday on the Job we killed a 50-pound porcupine, which Is a big one. Enclosed are some quills.

I always thought they were longer but It is the hair you see In pictures. Every day I am learning things they don't teach you In school or books. Sept. 3 The other day a moose came to drink by the water hole near camp. Pretty soon 20 of us were watching It.

I ran back to camp, borrowed film and crept up to the moose. I took four pictures before he scampered away. One Isn't allowed to shoot them. There are only about three In all the State. There are plenty of deer and other wild life, though.

I shot a squirrel Willi Johnny's rifle and skinned him. Sept. 10 Am writing this In school. It's 7 o'clock. Now we get up at 8:30 and boy, this Idaho air was never meant for people who Intend getting up at that hour.

At 8 a bugle will blow and we'll all go to the trucks and on to work. Our crew rides 17 miles only 17 miles and yet It takes an hour and a half on these roads. We get off the trucks snd make our way about a mile in the woods. We trim fallen trees and pile brush. In the Winter the lumberjacks will set fire to the brush piles, In that way getting rid of all that dry stuff that Is Just waiting to burn.

At 12 the foreman yells "Chow!" and there Is a mad dash up the road. Then back to work about 10 to 1. At 3 the foreman yells "Knock off!" and that Is music to the ears. Back to camp for a shower then "Come and get your chow, boys!" After that, hang around, then mall call, then If it's the night for movies, we have movies If not, we can do anything else except start a fire. During the day we wash any clothes that need It, make our beds clean our silver ware after every meal.

Every one Is studying something different here, from auto mechanics to cooking. I'm taking Journalism. It's Just like regular school. Your loving son, DICK.

She was popular with tie seventh grade boys and girls and the teachers always called her -a sweet child." Despite her goodness there was a young lady who hated little gentle Molly. Her name was Brenria and she was tall and ungainly and always looked cross She was Jealous of Molly's golden curls and long dark eyelashes.

She tried In every way to hurt her and make the children turn against her, but she never succeeded. One late afternoon Molly noticed the teacher looked strangely she said: "I'm sorry, children, but something has happened to Brenda. She was hit by an automobile going home for lunch." Molly was quiet and snd all week. She could only think of poor ugly Brenaa lying in the hospital with her leg In a cast. Many times her mother urged her to go to see Brenda but Molly hesitated because the girl had always hated her so.

Three weeks after the accident Molly finally went to see Brenda. The latter was so surprised and delighted at the visit that she forgot the pretty girl was her enemy and the two girls laughed and chatted merrily. After that Molly went to see Brenda twice every week and when Brenda could walk again the two girls were always seen together. If you were to ask for the most popular girls In the school the answer was "Brenda and HELEN BLOMQUTST, 13. 229 Milburn Baldwin.

Wild Flowers Over the meadows where the grass Is green, Lovely flowers of the field can be seen. Nodding their wonderful little heads Of yellows, pinks, whites and reds. DEBBY FTJRTH, 2055 E. 36th St, RAIN Drawn by Allre Rogers, 14, of 294 Wllloughhy Ave. The Barn Dance There's a flash of sparkling colors And a hum of voices fair, While the lanterns all are fllck'rlng, And there's music everywhere.

There's a ring of merry laughter And a soft toucl of romance For the night Is clear and starlit At the country- folks barn dance. There Is dancing on the barn floor Mid the smell of new-mown hay And there's music In the top loft, Where the country pipers play. Yes, there's singing and reciting, Lemonade and sweets by chance And Just sitting "rieath the moonlight At the country folks barn dance. There are stories by the old folks And some games the young ones play, For the gay times never cease, Til the dawns of coming day. As the bright lights swing and sway To the merry tunes they prance; Put away your cares and sorrows, Join the country folks barn dance.
