AMB Conn. Newspaper Publebere Amt'm THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1047 Trend In Books The report of the librarian of the Howard Memorial Library, Miss Jessie F. DcShong, serves further to illustrate a trend that lias come to thejore in the brief period'since the end of World War II. "Among adults there was greater use of the library's informational and educational materials and services, a special interest in books on new housing, re- modelling and household carpentry, and a decline of about 50 percent in the use of war bo6ks," Miss DeSliong reported. The trend is a natural one.

It is unfortunate for.their authors, however, that some of the best and certainly the most authentic stories related to our recent struggle at arms have come off the presses since VK Day and VJ Pay. Men who were close to the battle scenes, who followed the troops or served with them, have had time since the cessation of hostilities to review and correlate their notes and to put together a comprehensive story with a "now it can be told" theme. Some of the war's best sellers went into extra printings not so much on the strength of their accuracy in detail or because of the writer's smooth touch, but rather as result of their timeliness. Coming out as they did while the war was on they were absorbed hungrily by the reader in his des'iiv to know more about what was going on in the field. The war is over.

It is only natural that greater interest should be shown in the truly American pursuits of home building and repairing, and that readers should tun) their attention to informative and educational subjects. The trend is not limited to Naugatuck. Tt is nation and worldwi.de. It must be gratifying to those who have a part in the administration and operation of the library to note that adults and children are showing greater interest in books. Miss 'DeShong's report reveals that books and rmiiumines were circulated during the past year among adult and children who are registered borrowers.

A good book is a good friend. Three Reids Whitelaw Reid, who has succeeded his father, the late Ogdcu Held, as head of the New York Herald-Tribune, has his work cut out for him if he equals the ability of his father or his grandfather, after whom he was named. The elder Whitelaw He-id enme to the old New York Tribune in the days of its famous editor, Horace (Trceley, and took over after (ireeley's death. Although for years the Tribune and its successor, the Herald-Tribune, have been unwavering Republican newspapers, began by supporting (ireeley's Democratic candidacy, for president in 1872, and later backed for governor Samuel J. Tilden and Grover C'levelnnd.

Under President Harrison he was minister to France, and candidate for vice-president on the defeated Harrison ticket in 1892. The Tribune always stood for clean government; one of the most creditable features of 'Reid's career was his unceasing warfare with Senator Tom Platt. long the Republican boss in New York state. Ogden Reid was an npologist for all candidates or activities with the party label. His foreign policy in the '30's was close to that of President Roosevelt.

Tt is because he discriminated in the application of his party loyalty that he made the Herald-Tribune the great paper that it is today. Hcrliert.

One of the newsmen decided (as a joke) to trick the President into placing his signature on a document.

On a slip of paper he wrote out an order assigning himself as Ambassador to the North Pole and passed it on for Roosevelt's signature. When the paper was handed back to him, he saw that FDR had initialed it instead of signing ils full name. For "North Pole" he had substituted "South with the -notation: "Sorry, North Pole already occupied."
