Strange Blight Falls On Town Of Slrontian Strontian, Scotland, Sept. 28. Residents of this' tiny Scotch: village, which gave its name to the potentially deadly fallout element strontiunV90, were wondering today whether- radioactive byproducts of Soviet nuclear testsv.are turning local vegetation; black. Strontium was first discovered in 1787 in stronti anile, a mineral mined'near here. Strontian's 400 villagers feared that the element which made Strontiah famous may have come them -because a strange blight has fallen-on the town -in the highlands of western Scotland, withering every shred of vegetation, drying up heather, grass, trees and flowers, and turning green lawns to a sickly brown.

"There is definitely something strange about this," George Cassidy, manager-of Strontian's only hotel. "The whole village has been drained of color." Some residents blamed excessive fallout from the Soviet tests for the pall that has darkened their homes, but others blamed Hurricane Debbie. The tail end of the hurricane struck western Scotland last weekend, toppling phone and'power lines and spraying the area with salt from the Atlantic Ocean. The Wight began soon after.

m. We are all guilty at time or another of taking things for granted. Our latest fault here at Huntingdon County Library has been presuming that everyone has firmly in mind the hours at the Mount Union Branch and the main library in Huntingdon. By cpunt there were four persons with whom this reporter talked over a recent week-end who did 'not know that the main library, is open two nights every week until and Friday. And via the grapevine we've learned that there are many who do not realize that the Mount Unkm Brancji gets twenty hours of free service weekly instead qf the ten which they received before May, I960.

Mount Union So here we repeat for our readers these important schedules of free service in Mount Union aSd Huntingdon. Mount Union: Monday: 12 to 5 p.m., 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday: 1 to 5 and 7 to 8 p.m. Saturday: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Huntingdon: Monday and Friday: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday: 9 a.m.' to 1 p.m. By way of a little alibi we men- 1 tion that we have been so determined to keep plugging with the hours of service given by the- two bookmobiles in their NEW program, which has been in operation only little over a year, that we have forgotten to remind users of Mount Union and Huntingdon schedules. Bookmobile stops with their hours of service are given daily in the calendars in The Daily News and over' WHUN.

Again we thank these two news media for their' staunch and constant support of the library. is invaluable and is deeply appreciated by-directors and staff. Take a well-deserved bow, Daily News and WHUN, for public service well beyond the call duty. We shall launch our voyage Into ihe books- this week with a novel. McCullers' "Clock Without This woman is considered by many critics one of the finest of'Contemporary novelists.

No less a person than Tennessee of her "I have, found in her work such intensity -and nobility-of spirit as we have not had in pur prose writing: since Herman "Melville." This long-awaited novel faces directly the overwhelming question of good. arid, evil and reaffirms our faith in the dignity of life. "The unwilling hero of this, powerful novel is engaged in an inner struggle that parallels his impending death. His story is interwoven with that'of old. judge and former Congressman, Fox CJane, and Jester, the -judge's adolescent grandson.

All three characters move -to their accomplished destiny through Sherman, a blue-eyed' Negro, boy. Their story is tqld with that curious blend of humor, compassion, irony and power which characterizes Carson McCullers' writing." Sherman Adama' Book Sherman Adams! "First-Hand Report, the Story of. the Eisenhower its appearance on over and -see what -v you want to re.ad table" this week. former Presidential confidential advisor and co-ordinator here attempts three things--in- this "view from the top" of the Eisenhower years: to give a vivid understanding of Eisenhower the man, to describe the inner workings of the administration and the activities of the top level men around tha President, and to convey the atmosphere and circumstances in which the great decisions were taken. The-Goldfine episode which led to Adams' retirement is handled fairly and objectively.

This memoir by a key figure in Eisenhower's inner circle is a significant political history of our time. New' Text On Economic! There is wide diversity in the how to, helpful category this week.
